1t has been contended by one or
two advocates of dissolving this
city government that "our charter
was not legally adopted hence it
is impossible to sell any more inn
provement bonds. Duesn' it seem
awful late in the day to advance
such an argument? After $40, 600
worth of city hall bonds, 500, 600
city dock bonds, and more than
S15o,ooo worth of improvement
bonds have been sold without ques.
tion, il looks like belated argument
to say the least. Because the char
ter was not strictly followed in re-
gard to giving notice of the ferry
bond election, and because Boston
attorneys of the company that was
awarded the bonds did not under
stand Oregon law, and, therefore
refused them, the same as they did
in one or two other cases in the
state, the cry is raised that the
charter is at fault As a matter of
fact the attorney for the ferry COM
pany advised il TO take the bonds,
the attorneys for the two banking
institutions passed favorably upon
them, and finally the bonds were
disposed of in spite OF the belated
argument that the "charter was
not legally adopted" " OF course
this city can sell any kind of
bonds, but probably not to Morris
Bros. with their legal advisors in
Boston But il might be we'll to
give a thought to the bonding ques.
ton providing the annexation case
is withdrawn from the supreme
court. Could the city of Portland
then sell bonds for the purchase Of
the water works, for instance, or
any other utility in the territory
now known as ST. Johns1 Would
not all attorneys for bonding com.
panics point to the fact that there
was a very grave question whether
or not ST. Johns was ever legally
annexed The attorney for the de.
fense Is quoted as saying that ''it is
a very close question . Judge Ga.
tens passed on what he considered
the merits of the case, but not on
the law. lie advised taking the
question TO the supreme court, aud
issued a restraining order until this
could be done. His decision APP
peared to be based on the fact that
Il might work a hardship upon one
or two other districts that had
recently been annexed to Portland,
possibly in an illegal manner
Wouldn't the bonding attorneys,
with these facts IN mind, advise
their clients TO invest in something
less clouded in doubt; that II Port
land had not annexed 81. Johns le.
gally, Portland could not legally
sell bonds for any Improvement
within the present borders OF 81.
Johns' II is infinitely better TO so
on with the case aud have Il settled
definitely, IN spite OF the fact that
Il costs money To take a case To the
supreme court, and also TO defend
IL there,
