VOTERS MAY PASS
ON LIBRARY FIGHT
Papers Being Drawn With View to
Referring Three Ordinances Passed
by Council, One Carries Emer-
gency Clause, 80 Cannot be Blocked.

That the long continued library
fight may be brought up for settle
ment by the people Of the city seems
probable from the fact papers are
being drawn with view to referring
three OF the library ordinances en-
acted by the council a week ago last
night. The most important of the
four ordinances passed at that time
carries the emergency clause and
hence cannot be referred. This is
the ordinance allowing the council to
contract with the incorporated city
library board 20 guarantee $25O0 per
annum from the city to the city IL
hrary.
According to men interested in the
fight from the standpoint OF main
tanning a separate city library this or
d,nance is the only one of any Vital
importance The others may be re.
fcrred without harm. so they assert
on the other hand 1t is asserted by
the forces opposing two libraries that
the referring Of the three ordinances
not carrying the emergency clause
viii place the matter squarely before
the people, settling the fight, as the
council would not likely go contrary
to the expressed wishes Of the voters
Referendum petitions must be filed
within Is days from the passage Of
an ordinance and hence there is but
week remaining in which to hold
up the ordinances il this line Of ac.
ton is followed.

BARRETT FATHERS
BIG HIGHWAY BILL
(East oreonian Special, ,

SALEM. Ore. Jan 13.-SenatOr
Barrett of Umatilla county introduced
a comprehensive bill at the morning
session Of the senate today which pro-
vides among other things for a state
highway from Portland east through
The Dalles. Pendleton, La Grande,
Baker. ontario to Vale. The bill pro-
poses to construct the highway with
rs per cent of the receipts of the state
highway department during the en-
suing five years.
No definite plan of construction or
methods of operation were given by
Senator Barrett in introducing the
measure The bill, however does not
provide for county cooperation but
puts the project solely in the hands
of the state highway commission.
Owing to the many prospective
changes in laws providing funds for
the highway commission it Is pracu-
cally impossible to estimate the
amount of money which could be
raised under the provisions Of the
measure.
No discussion followed the intro
duction of the bill.
The bill also provides for a state
highway to be constructed under the
same conditions and provisions from
Portland through the Willamette val
ley south to the California line.
