repeatedly repulsed. Whether they
have taken Vrania as reported. or

sions for putting incorporated cities
into separate road districts. Justice
Bean, who wrote the decision de-
clares that where two acts are in
conflict the latter expression of the
legislature must prevail" The court
held that chapter 1874 did not limit
the commissioners of Portland in
making the division into road dis.
tricts and that they could make such
division as seemed suitable to them
Chapter 127 Of the 1915 session
laws provides for dividing the coun-
ties into road districts in october and
makes incorporated cities districts by
themselves Chapter 1874. which sub.
stitutes September for October as the
time for making the road district di.
vision, contains no provision for cit
les as separate road districts The
latter is the one which the supreme
court holds will take precedence
There was only a matter in time Of
less than an hour in the filing on
the same date of these laws.

At Salem this week a writ of man

county commissioners to place the
city of Portland in a separate road
district was denied oy the supreme
court on the ground that an act pass
ed by the last legislature after chap
ter 127 Of the 1915 session laws had
become a law, took precedence. This
decision, according TO County Judge
Marsh, will have the same effect in
Pendleton as in Portland and means
that as heretofore this city will not
have to pay a road tax as a separate
district.
Pendleton has been exempt from
road taxes through a provision in
the city charter although until this
provision had been brought to light
the city had been paying this tax
