FINAL ARRANGEMENTS NOW
MADE WITH OREGON ROAD
OILING COMPANY ON
TERMS AS OFFERED.
LIBRARY BIDS REJECTED
Estimate Thought Too High; City to
Readvertise; improvement of Por-
ton of Clay Street Ordered; Ordin-
ance For Destruction of Noxious
Weeds Ordered.

Final decision to oil the streets of
the city with crude oil was made at
the regular meeting of the city coun-
oil last night. after the matter had
been discussed at length and the
CITY Auditor and Mayor were in
sructed to enter into contract
with the Oregon Road Oiling COM
pany of Portland, to do the work.
The contract will be let under the
terms proposed by the company
which is SIS per mile if 10 miles are
4 oiled, or $50 per mile if five miles
aDnly are treated. While the matter
has not been fully decided and is in
the hands of the street committee,
il is believed that arrangements will
be made for the oiling of all the ma
cadam streets of the city which COM
prise about 10 miles. The space oil
ed will not be so wide on the resi-
dence streets as in the business Sec
ton.
Library Bids Rejected.
Bids for the construction of the
Dallas Carnegie library building
we're opened and considered, it being
finally decided to reject all proposals
and readvertise. This course was
taken owing to the belief, on the part
Of the council. that the building could
not be constructed and equipped
within the appropriation of $4,000.
The only bid submitted for the build
ing itself came from Holmes *
Grant, local contractors, and was
for $3.50. This did not include the
heating plant for which three bids
were received, two from Guy Bros
Of Dallas, and one. from the Rogers
Plumbing and Heating company, OF
Salem. The two bids submitted by
Guy Bros. were for s14OO and SlO5O'
respectively, and from Rogers COM
pany for 1925. City Recorder
Gregory will advertise for bids in
Portland papers and will specify
that proposals will be received for
either steam or hot water heating, 1t
being the opinion of many that the
latter system could be installed at
less cost
Street Improvement Ordered.
An ordinance was passed provid-
ing for the Improvement of a por-
ION of Clay street between oregon
and Fairview avenues. by grading
and matchmaking. This is a small
section Of the street leading to con-
hsction with the road to the Illihee

POLICE BUDGETS
HELD UP FOR AN
ACCOUNTING
Commissioner Johnson Asserts
Beavers Request for $751;
$50 Is Asking Too Much.

I4aughingly remarking That he
thought "the commission should save
some Of the pie for the new commits
sioners who will be on the job next
year." Police Commissioner George r.
Johnson, reported to be Of the Wood
ward minority. last night made a fight
on the police department budget Of eX-
penses for next year, as prepared by
Police Chief Beavers
Mr. Johnson suggested that special
meeting should be called and that tn"
budget should be worked out" by the
commission Other commissioners
however. defending the chiefs requests
and figures, declared this was wholly
unnecessary but finally agreed to sub
NIT the budget to special committee,
with full power to act.
Sent to a Committee.
On motion Of Commissioner Fain, this
committee consists Of Chairman Mason,
Chief Beavers and Commissioner John
SON.
"Of course. if this committee can't
agree, then it can report the budget
back to the commission" remarked Mr..
Fain. |II5
Mr.. Johnson said he objected to the
chiefs budget on the ground that the
chief was asking for too much in re-
questing a total appropriation for the
year of sS57S5O.
All of the other commissioners who
expressed themselves said the chief was
asking only for what was absolutely
needed to increase the efficiency of the
department to meet the demands Of the
city.
Camp Dismissed From Force.
Policeman j. w. Camp, who shot and
killed his brother officer, Policeman $.
A. Bedding. and who recently was ac-
quilted in the criminal court, was dis
charged from the force by the commits
sion. He was tried on the charge Of
drunkenness. officer Camp made an
earnest plea to save his job, insisting
that he had not touched a drop Of IL
quor until directly after the killing Of
Officer Bedding. and that he drank then
merely to quiet his nerves
Supernumerary Policemen w. j. Var
ter, accused of being arrested with
seven other men in a room In which
gambling was in progress, and a. J.
Bender, charged with sleeping on duty,
also were discharged.
Policeman w. F. Whitley, accused of
drunkenness, was eXonerated. The OH To-
Ger proved to the satisfaction Of the
commission that he was suffering with
severe attack of ptumaine poisoning,
due to a meal of brains and eggs, at the
time he was thought TO be intoxicated.
The verdict in each case was unani-
nous.

If the actions OF various grand ju-
ries throughout the state count for
anything. the next Georgia legislature
certainly will throw some rigid re-
strictions around the pistol traffic in
side the state.
The grand juries Of Floyd and Clarke,
two of the big counties, already have
adopted memorials to the legislature
calling upon it to ask that their sale
be prohibited absolutely in its territory
and other smaller counties have fol-
lowed suit.
As matter OF fact, the smaller
counties are more bitterly opposed to
loose traffic in firearms than the larger
ones.
BY the time the legislature assem-
bles in June it is likely that the anti
pistol movement will have assumed
such proportions that the law makers
will respond readily to the demands
made upon them.

The case comes up, too, curiously
enough, on the appeal of a near-bee1
dealer, convicted Of violating the prohi-
bition laws.
The defendant, in assembling the
jury, challenged one Of the panel on
the ground of competency, because he
had stated that he was 60 years of age
that day. The point was made against
the challenged party that he had en-
tered his 6lst year, and was, therefore,
beyond the age limit set for Jurymen.
The state held that the juryman still
was in his 60th year on his birthday,
and was therefore, competent
The juryman was permitted to serve
and it is upon the question Of the
exact time Of his entering his 61st year
that the case appealed turns.

That makes one slice of pic for every

the same.
The Georgia weekly believes If Pres

Still, The Times must remember that

Is in Atlanta today, cheerful and OPP
tfmistic, Notwithstanding the fact that
numerous Democratic friends have as
sured him he is headed for the official
toboggan pretty soon after March 4.
Mr. Barclays commission expires in
February, and he confidently expects
to be reappointed by the president and
reconfirmed by the senate. He knows
OF nothing in his record that should
cause his removal by the Democratic
administration, but if he is removed
he will not take to sackcloth and ashes.
He Will sit tight on the lid until the
getting off time surely and unmistak-
ably has arrived-Whenever that is.
Barclay has been postmaster OF Rome
for about eight years, and has made
most efficient and acceptable official.
Indeed, outside of the politics of the
thing, there probably are not q dozen
people in Rome who would ask that
he be disturbed in any way.
