PORTLAND. VANPORT

PATROLMAN PUCKETT
•
Already on a flatcar and on a
siding ready for pickup by a
local freight was, among others, a
brand new patrol ear headed for
Seward for the use of Patrolman
Puckett.
That flat ear and its load
missed the local freight—in fact,
the local freight missed the trip.
Too much water.
it was about the time that the
Willamette and Columbia went
on a rampage and part of Port
land and nearly all of Vanport
was washed out in the floods.
A new car has been ordered
and was started to Seward on the
28 th of June, from a California
dealer and should be here right
short ly.
With it, Officer Puckett will
patrol the roads leading out of
Seward and such incidents as ac
cured last Sunday when certain
drivers crowded off the road oth
er vehicles or attempted to make
i he trip from Moose Pass to Sew

Leonard Cam
Chief of Police
Investigation has shown th; t
the matter of the Liquor Dealer m
Association getting together to
set a scale of prices which we:<
standard has been talked .of ! ■'
nearly two months before tie1
matter of the 2 sales tax w; ■:
adjitated by the new City Com -
cil
They realized that they wfo
unable to absorb any more whole
sale price raises of which th' ■'?
have had three. and one n
freight rates since the first of t; <?
year.
Liquor prices in Seward regaid
less of how liquor is bought are
lower than elsewhere in the ter
ritory.
Impressions gained at the last
council meeting gave rise to tie
idea that the dealers were r.l
raising their prices but the Asso
ciation agreed in official meet : g
to set the same price on the >ai; “
service. In this way their acti< ,x
was rather in the nature of prr o
stabilization rather than a direct
raise in price altho. to ma.
this raise made it much ea
to pay the Sales Tax.
As a direct result of the form
ing of this association the deale rs
are them selves able to set a
definite standard as to the qualky
of liquor sold. Also yhat has bee r
a policy of disregard in the sale
of liquor to certain users those
users will find it more dificuit
to obtain liquor and will find the
local association is not in sym
pathy with the misuse of liquor.
In regard to the lenthening of
hours in which the bras may r* -
main open one spokesman start tl
that the cost of staying open 'o
the later hour was not remunera
tive unless assured of a large
number of patrons such as re
abroad on boat or holiday nigh' ,
more especially during the to -
ist season.
Personnel wages are up by
more than one third and for t
reason only they cannot rc.m.r’i
open without patronage. This puts
dealers on an even footing v.-.th
outlets out of town who do r,ct
pay faxes.
The move to equalize price s
came at a time when dealt’S
had to look to their mark ”.i
figure or lower the quality f
goods and all agreed the qu«h. >y
must stay up.
