MEASURE IS PASSED BY PEOPLE
TO CARE FOR LARGE AMOUNT
OF OUTSTANDING WARRANTS
AND STREET ASSESSMENTS
Bonds To Carry Interest At Rate Of
Six Percent; Same Rale As Out
standing Warrants Now
Expenses To Be Cut.
Icaùliijljt
Carry
The bond issue was carried at the
special election last Saturday,
In
spite of the inclement weather
voters turned out to Cast their bal
lots. The measure called for ar. is
sue of «50,000 of city bonds to take
;up the present indebtedness of the
city.
«25,000 of this sum is in the form
of outstanding warrants, whlcn are
an accumulation of expenses incur-
| red by the city for which the budget
! allowances have never been ample
to cover. There has never been
i ample taxes to pay the current in-
debtedness of the city. Under the
new budget law, a commission that
I has been appointed to meet with the
city council will be required to
draw up a budget that will take
i care of all expenses.
The other «25,000 is the result of
I delinquent street assessments, which
the city will recover as soon as
I property is sold, with the same in-
I terest as warrants and bonds carry.
Each budget commission, here-
i after, will have to make provisions
i for a surplus with which to take up
each year a portion of the bonds
whtch are about to be issued, and
for which the election was held.
The bonds carry 6 percent interest,
the same rate as the outstanding
warrants against the city now
carry.
It has been the policy of the pres
ent council to keep the expenses
within the budget estimate, and up
to the present time this has been
done and it seems likely that it will
be possible to keep well under the
budget estimate during the presnt
year.
Wheeler, Or., Mar. 18.—A. W.
Vosbufg, president of the Wheeler
Lumber company announced today
that the company will not charge
its employes» any house rent ln-
eluding lights and water, during
February and March. This will
mean a saving of about «15 to ev-
ery renter.
“Most of the men have been idle
for so long,” announced
___ ____
Mr. Vos
burg, “that the money can be better
used by them to settle some of their
bills that have of necessity accum
ulated. The local merchants have
been compelled to hold the families
<»ver their period of unemployment,
and now that the company has again
commenced operations, we feel it as
part of our duty to do our share in
lightening the burden that has of
necessity grown heavy.”
Announcement has also been
made that the logging camp at Coal
Creek, which has not been in opera
tion for the past sixteen months,
will again be running in about two
weeks. Cooks are on the job and a
few men are at the camp getting
machinery and equipment ready to
resume logging. The camp supplies
logs tost the Wheeler mill, and when
operating to full capacity employs
about 100 men.
COMEDIES BY
DRAMATIC CLUB
The High School Dramatic Club
will present three comedies March
31, at 8 o’clock in the High School
Gym. The Glee Club will furnish
several musical numbers. This is a
benefit performance, the proceeds is
to be used towards th« purchase of
a school piano.
“The Revolt" by the author of
"Pigs is Pigs’ ’is to be acted by Bes
sie Knight, Reberta Campbell, Vera
Clark, Margaret Armentrout, Flor
ence Stranahan, Mae Parks, Hallie
Large, Mary Nelson and others. The
ideal husband is acted by himself.
This comedy has a very unusual
plot and ending.
The “Best Man’ ’presents an em
barrassing love tangle which un
ravels quite happily. Rodney Far
ley, Grace Joliffe, Ruth Miller and
William Driscol have been cast for
this.
Perhaps the most laughable com
edy is “That Rascal Pat.” Pat alone
is worth twice the price of admis
sion.
Glenn Anderson,
Gerald
Gsaves, Joseph
Maxwell,
Mary
Lamar and Arline Heyd will give
this play.
Remember the 31st, be sure to
come. You need the laughs and the

Findings Of Coroner’s Jury
Called In The Case
The body of Mrs. Mary Goodspeed,
who disapeared from her home on
4th street last Thursday night was
found the following day in Hoquar
ton slough near the old mouth of
Trask river about 12:30 by Bert
Thayer and V. Merrill, who had been
clamming on Tillamook bay and
were returning home at the time the
body was discovered. The two men
were trying to find a place to land
their skiff when they ran across the
body in about two feet of water,
They did not know at the time who
it was as they had left before the
excitement over the disappearance of
Mrs. Goodspeed occurred.
The deceased had been in poor
health for some time and had been
heard to remark that she did not
want to live to be a burden to any
one. She suffered from a nervous
breakdown several months ago, and
it thought that the effects of this
sickness led to her action.
She was last seen alive about 11
o’clock Thursday night when mem
bers of the family returned home.
Friday morning she was missing and
search was instituted throughout
Tillamook and vicinity, but with no
result. The waters of Hoquarton
slough were dragged for some time
Friday morning.
A coroner’s jury which sat on the
case Saturday brought in a verdict
of death by drowning brought on
by the action of the deceased.
Mrs. Goodspeed, who has resided
in this county for the past thirty
years is survived by three children,
Egbert Goodspeed, of Bay City, Mrs.
Leland Erwin and Retta Goodspeed,
the latter two of this city. Her hus-
ban, Dan Goodspeed, died two
years ago.
BILL TO RESURVEY
PORT BEFORE CONGRESS
A bill for the resurvey of the port
district of Tillamook Bay is to be
presented before Congress this week,
according to a wire received from
Senators Hawley and McNary.
A
favorable report for a resurvey of
the port district has been made by
the Rivers and Harbors committee,
and a bill embodying this recom
mendation is to be laid before Con
gress. The Senators seem
confident that the bill

issue, The issue was carried unani
mous on a total casting of forty
votes, This small vote was because
of the heavy storm raging all day
and but few peple had the courage
to venture out and face the storm.
The ballot provided for a charter
amendment to allow the issuance
of »12,000 in bonds to procure funds
to redeem the outstanding warrant
indebtedness of Bay City. The vote
stood forty for the amendment and
none against.
But the amendment to the charter
that provided for the issuance of
«2000 in bonds to procure funds to
make additional repairs to the
municipal dock did not fare so
well.
It. was carried by thirty-
nine votes for aad none against.
Evidenty one of the forty voters
overlooked this emendment.
It is understood that as soon as
the legal proceedure necessary to
the issuance of these bonds has been
completed, the city council will call
for bids on these bondB, and the city
treasurer will call for all outstand
ing warrants.
GARIBALDI MILL
HAS STARTED
The Whitney mill at Garibaldi
started sawing operations Thursday.
It is the largest mill in Tillamook
county and has a daily capacity of
300,000 feet of lumber,
Report
has it that the mill will not be oper-
ating to full capacity for at least 60
days. The mill proper and the log
ging camp on the Kllchis river will
furnish employment for about «00
men.
Construction of the plant was
started in 1918, but this is the first
time that the mill has ever operated.
The lumber now being cut is not for
commercial purposes, but will be
used for construction work and re-
pairs about the plant, Many thous-
sands of feet of planks will be used
for the construction of platforms
about the mill on which to pile lum
ber. These platforms are to be
upon pilings, and it is estimat-
ed that it will require several weeks
to complete this work.
Rumor has it that the mill Is
shortly to change hands.
L. E. Garwood of Hebo was in the
city yesterday. Mr. Garwood is in
charge of Uncle Sam’s" trees in the
forest reserve and states that he re
cently sold 100.000 feet of alder
from the government timber for
furniture making purposes.
