Lane county warehousemen fail to furnish bonds
Hon J M Shelley author of the bill states no bonds have yet been provided by Lane county warehousemen. The law requiring grain warehouse men to post bonds for grain storage went into effect last Wednesday. Judge Kincaid delayed action until a council meeting. Shelley submitted a written application with Clerk Lee for a bond as blank bonds are printed. Many warehousemen in good standing support the measure, though some are not handling grain now and will secure bonds when the season starts.
