department of the conservatory, and
brilliant and difficult fantaisie from
Sarasate. Mr.. Williams will be as

will sing three songs written by
Chadwick Those who are acquainted

Of payment submitted to the council
at the last meeting, the same having
been referred to the committee Of the

the tract of land lying upon the hill
on the westerly side of the present
city cemetery, containing ABOUT 80
acres for $500 per acre, payments to
be made as follows:
mot less than $500 upon the pr1n-
cipal sum on the first day of December

first day of December of each ana
every year until the full sum of the
purchase price is fully paid, together

cipal sum DUE interest payable the
first day of December of each and

cipal and interest, to be in cash.

acceptance of this offer and upon the
execution of a contract for the pur-

possession of said property, and pay
all subsequent taxes that fay accrue
upon said property.

tions of forfeiture to make payments

For $4,000.
| Some members Of the council feel
| that $2S 900 for tract of 35 acres OF
land is too much money, and some
have intimated that land in that Sec
ton is selling at figures above it's true
value. However, it is pointed out that
slaughter house was located, recently
| sold for $1,000 an acre, and is no better
or more desirable than the Stone tract
The city needs a cemetery. That is
fully realized by every city official and
the question has resolved itself into
whether it would be economy to pur-
chase the land at $500 per acre and
eliminate the necessity of new water
works and an additional sexton that
would be required if another tract
were purchased. The consideration of
! the subject may require several meet

this school district is to have ready

made possible when at Mondays
school meeting, tax payers of the dis
erict unanimously voted to sustain the
meeting held = last June. From
every nook and Granny of the district
comes the slogan acclaiming for Athe-
ma modern educational facilities, and
the action taken at Mondays meeting
is merely in line with the general
movement. The special tax levy for
special school purposes will give the
board a working surplus over and
above regular expense of conducting
the school, which means that certain
needed improvements will be made.

IMPORTANT DECISION
REGARDING CITIES

The supreme court handed down
tw odecisions today, as follows:
John X. Rollock, respondent, vs.
II. Bennett and c. F Humphreys,
appellants; appealed from the cir
cult court OF Coos county; Ham
ilton, Judge; affirmed by Justice
King. This was an equity case, in
which action was taken to quiet title
of certain properties In Coos county.
Clara Batdorff, respondent, VS..
Oregon City, a municipal corpora
tion, and A. Knapp, ID. g, Williams.
II. q. Straight, NJ. Nestln and H.
Brandt, appellants; appealed from
ty; T. A. Mcbride, Judge; affirmed
by Chief Justice Moore. This case
attracted more or les satetntion, ow-
Ing to the technical points involved,
covering power vested in the execu-
tive body of a city. The action was
brought against the municipal cor
poration, Oregon City, and its coun-
cilmen to recover damages for per-
sonal injury alleged to have been
caused by wilful and gross neglect on
the part Of the defendants in failing
to keep up the sidewalk construc-
tiOh diOhk puDllC street.. Ine case
was brought to issue and a judgment
In the sum of $3.50 was returned
against the city. but the councilmen
weT eexonerated from liability by the
Judge OF the lowe rcourt. The city
in turn appealed the case for relief
from the $3.50 Judgment, and the
plaintiff appealed because the code
PENDANTS were released from all liza
bility.
The supreme court holds, however.
that, inasmuch as the city Is In de-
fault. and the decision of the lower
court is perfectly permissible, its
constituents cannot be held liable for
any Injury or damage occurring to
anyone from a defective walk or
highway. The complaint i'm the case
states that Injury was caused by nom
feasance, but did not allege that the
councilmen possessed the requisites
means with which to make repairs.
and this being so the plaintiff was
not preiudiced by the remarks OF
the court, to which exceptions was
taken.
