Nheat-The market was somewhat
more settled today due to disposition
on the part of shorts to even llp CON

this quarter took care of renewed
iiquidations. Cash markets were with
out features. The flour trade was mix
ed, the southwest reported fairly
good business presumably on account
of having the advantage in prices over
the northwest. The latter market re-
ported the inquiry rather poor Some
export business was done today. but
the trade still inclined to the belief II

BONDS FOR AUDITORIUM
NOT TO Be ASKED NOW.
COMMISSION DECIDES
Action Deferred on Inlow's
Motion; Matter of Heating
Nat Referred to Council.

The proposal to bond the city in the
amount of $25O,OOO and to put the
proposal on the ballot for the special
election in November was deferred last
night by unanimous vote of the old au-
ditorium committee and the city plan
ming commission, sitting in joint ses-
sion
The motion which caused the COM
! mission to go on record definitely in
this manner was made by H. E. Inflow
following a discussion in which all of
the members of the two bodies who
were present gave expression to their
sentiments. 49,
Judge G. w. Phelps, S. r. Thompson
and Roy Raley were present, repre-
senting the old auditorium committee
Mr.. Thompson and Mr.. Raley declared
that public sentiment seemed to them
to be opposed to taking action at this
time on the auditorium proposition but
that unanimous agreement with the
proposal to issue bonds for the sep
tic tank and for the purchase and i'm
provement of parks and camp grounds
is expressed by voters.
The bonds would not be sold until
the market can absorb municipal five
per cent bonds at par it was agreed,
and since it was the concensus of opn-
ion that conditions might not make this
possible for two or three years, the
commission members agreed that 1t
hO n h tn u nj
til detailed plans of what Pendleton
will want in the way of an auditorium
can be ascertained.
In the meantime the commission ex-
poets to go ahead with its plans for an
Auditorium, and data will be collected
from cities having buildings so that
when the time is ripe the commission
Twill have all available information at
Its finger dps and the best methods of
building and arrangement can be
adopted.
fhe question of whether to enclose
and heat the city natatorium was
brought forward by Mayor G. A..
Hartman. This subject is close to the
heart of Councilman Dick Lawrence
who has Investigated natatoriums over
the state. Councilman Lawrence is
enthusiastic about the possibilities Of
the natatorium here if the water is
heated and the pool enclosed.
Opposition to this idea was express
ed by DIR. w. ID, McNary on the
round that the public health woulO
be placed in jeopardy by having warm
water for youngsters to swim in tht
ear around. He declared that pnen-
uonia will be much more prevalent
among children If Pendleton secures a
warm water pool. Other members of
the commission called attention to the
fact that other cities have warm water
nnos and asked why Pendleton shonld
be at any greater disadvantage than
La Grande and Baker. Dr. McNary
held to his contention that from the
point of view of public health the pool
should not be heated.
The commission decided to leave the
initiating of the suggested improve
ment to the city council if it desires t.
go ahead with Councilman Lawrence
plan.
