VOLUME X. $2.00 per Year; 5c a copy Collector I Adjustment Is Offered Judge Reasoner Agrees to Accept Duties If Amended Agreement to take over the duties of water collector, but not until the provisions of section 6 of Ordinance 181 was amended with respect to responsibility for collecting unpuid accounts, was made by Recorder D. B. Reasoner at the council meeting Monday. Judge Reasoner’s agreement was made orally after the reading of an open letter by Mayor J. E. Tapp to the recorder as fol lows: Mr. D. B. Reasoner City Recorder Vernonia, Oregon Dear Sir: Whereas Ordinance No. 181 was passed by the hon orable council of the city of Vernonia, over my veto and dis approval on January 18th, 1932, wherein salaries of the employes of the city were fixed and where in it is proposed to add the duties of water collector to the duties of the recorder under certain re strictions and requirements, and wherein the salary of the city re corder is proposed at the unreas onable sum of five dollars per month in an effort to force your resignation. Ordinance No. 181 is the out come of difference of opinion be tween my office and the honor able council in certain appoint ments made at our first regular meeting in January just passed, This difference has set UP a con_ dition as all know which is not good in the city and in an effort to clear up all or part of this controversy I hereby go on rec ord as favoring the request of the honorable council that the re corder’s duties be extended to in clude the duties of the water col lector with more reasonable re quirements than those stipulated in Ordinance No. 181. This statement is not made for the purpose of dictating policies or course of action to the honor able council but to try to com promise our differences and at the same time to meet with the general public’s desire of lower ing city expenses. I therefore am kindly request ing that you comply with the demands of the honorable council in taking over the duties of the water collector with reasonable and workable requirements. Yours very truly, J. E. Tapp Mayor, City of Vernonia Criticisms Made The matter of a warrant for $400 drawn October 19, 1931, in favor of the park board was brought up, members of the council asserted that they had never passed upon it. Judge Rea soner was certain that it was in cluded among the bills read and allowed in the regular manner. There was also criticism of the $279 allowed on the advertising fund January 4 to the roads committee of the chamber of commerce. “We didn’t owe them anything; why should they send in a bill for $279?” objected Councilman Gordon. There was also criticism re garding certain assessments pur ported to have been paid, but Judge Reasoner explained a seeming discrepancy in the ac counts. Van Blaricom Objects Hiram Van Blaricom was given the floor and demanded to know who was authorized to collect the witcr rents. “I won’t pay it un til some one is legally authorized to receive it, and then I want a good receipt for it,” he de clared. Salary Refused Bill for the water collector’s salary for January, presented by M rgr.ret Shipley was laid on the table, the members of the coun cil feeling that they had no right Number 6.
