Yale, present city engineer, be removed from office. The relator assert that Mr. Yale wa not a res ident of thla city when he wa ap pointed city engineer by the city council January 6. 1913. He call at tention to a section of the city char ter which provides that the city en gineer must be a resident of the city onn year before appointment. Mr. Yale asserts that he had been a res ident of the city more than one year before his appointment and that he has not voted nny other place. E J. C.

ENGINEER SCORES STREET ESTIMATE YALE DECLARES THAT PREDE CESSOR WA3 NOT ACCUR ATE IN WORK MONTGOMERY MAKES EXPLANATION Council Favors Giving Hsaltri Officer Higher Salary Janitors of Schools Made Special Police At the regular meeting of the Coun cil Wedtiesduy evening regular re ports were read and the council was kept busy nearly three hours. A motion providing that thn com mittee ou health and police stipulate the duties of the city health officer und that hla salury be Increased to corform with these new duties was passed. Councilmnn Tooze said that Ibe city health officer held a very re sponsible position and that the conn ell should make It possible for him to devote more of bis time to his du ties. It also was urged that greater cooperation with the health officer should prevail, especially In regard to the medical profession. The salary of Miss Dollie Pratt, In the city recorder's office was raised from $.'0 to $05 a month. Mayor Jones appointed each one of the Jan itors In the three school bouses spec ial policemen to serve without pay. Mr. Tooze announced that he would lu the near future bring before the council tho matter of providing for a plumbing Inspector. The report of City Engineer Yale was dlKcussed. Mr. Montgomery, former city engineer, and Mr. Cromp ton, of the Montaguo-O'Kelley Com pany both stated that the mistake In estimates was due to the fact that the city at first figured on paving beneath the streetcar tracks .In the matter of sidewalke Mr. Montgomery stated that at first It waa figured that ce ment sidewalks should be laid the en tire distance of the paved area and that later wooden sidewalks were al lowed to be put down. Mr. Yale's re port follows: On making up the final statement of work done on Main Street by Messrs. Montague-O'Reilly, contract ors, and to be done before final ac ceptance of same, I find the discrep ancies so great between the actual amount of work to be done and the amount estimated for, that I deem it right and proper to call your atten tion to same. The estimates for cement gravel was for two thousand (2000) cubic yards at a cost of thirteen hundred ($1,300) dollars. Actual amount of cement gravel allowed Is eight hun dred and eighty-six (886) cubic yards st a cost of $575.90, a difference of 1724.10. Even this classification seems high but this work having been covered up it Is hardly possible to get close check on this at this late date. The estimate for concrete walk was for 18.000 square feet at a cost of $1,900. the actual work done is 2.000 feet at a cost of $220, a difference of $1,760.00. A still larger difference and one hard to account for Is the estimation on the El Oso Asphaltlc concrete pavement.

LOSS OF RELATIVES LEADS TO SUICIDE Coroner Wilson returned Wednes day from Mount Hood where be was called to view the body of W. E. Tyr rell, who killed himself. Brooding over tho death of his friend and em ployer, the late British Consul James Laidlaw, which renewed the melan cholia caused by the death of his wife and son by shipwreck, Tyr rell, a clerk In the Consulate, kill ed himself. The suicide took place at Aschoff, near Mount Hood, where Tyrrell went a week ago to recuper ate from a general nervous break down. Mr. Tyrrell had been clerking in the Consulate under James Laidlaw for the last 10 years. Prior to that for more than 24 years he had been employed by the O. W. R. & S. Co. Mr. Tyrrell was born in Chesshlre, England. 63 years ago, coming to the States when 27 years old. In the wreck of the Steamer South Portland, off the Oregon Coast sever al years ago, Tyrrell lobt his wife and son. The report at the time was that the captain and part of the crew took to the boats leaving the women and children to perish. The captain's li cense was revoked and he was the first person lost in the San Francisco earthquake. Loss of bis family de pressed Mr. Tyrrell the rest of his life. This depression reached its cli max with the death of James Laidlaw the British Consul, under whom Tyr rell had served for many years. With the exception of Mrs. Williams, a distant cousin with whom he resided, the elderly man did not have a close friend aside from Mr. Laidlaw. . Following the death of Mr. Laidlaw Mr. Tyrrell worried greatly over what would happen in the Consulate and he feared that Mr. Laldlaw's successor would be unable to cope with the work. Mr. Laidlaw performed prac tically all the duties of the office him self and Mr. Tyrrell was never made familiar with its opeatlons. Scarcely had the British Consul been burled when the nervous breakdown came. British Consulate Bernaya, succeed ls to the vacancy, saw the condition of the old clerk and ordered him to take a vacation and have a complete rest. This was also urged upon Mr. Tyrrell by Mrs. Williams and his physician. Dr. Glenn Wheeler. A week ago Mr. Tyrrell went to a camp near Mount Hood and Mrs. Williams re ceived a letter from him Saturday in which be said be thought be felt bet ter. Some time Tuesday night Mr. Tyr rell secured a firearm and shot himself In the head. The report was not heard and the tragedy was not dis covered until morning, when Mr. Tyr rell's physician, relative and the Con sulate were advised.

Persons for Taking Advantage of Legal Technical atits The Civic Improvement Commlttoe of the Live Wire threw a bomb shell Into that organization Tuesday after tbe regular weekly luncheon, when It presented Its report anent tbe unsan itary conditions prevullng hero. Dr. van Iirakle, chairman of the commit tee that was appointed one week ago, read a report that is startling la it self and glvs promise of no little ex citement in the future. The commit tee has in its possession no less than 121 specific violations of reasonable cleanllues. Tbe presentation of tbe report wa received with warm applause, indicat ing that the Live Wires are a unit in demanding better observance of the rules of sanitation In Oregon City. One of tbe member of the commit tee intimated that unless the city was cleaned up in reasonable time that complaints would be Issued and arrests made. L. Stipp, a member of the commit tee aud City Recorder, made a clear statement of the aims of tbe commit tee and said: "When this committee I through, Oregon City will be a pretty clean town." Dr. van Iirakle aald the committee desires to find out Just how much pub lic opinion is back of the movement for a betterment of civic conditions, and Councilman Tooze told of the difficulties encountered in inducing property owners to keep their prem ises clean and he sharply criticized people for taking advantage of trif ling legal technicalities. Speaking for the committee. Dr. van Brakle referred to the H. E. Cross property on the hill, about which complaint has been made. He said tbe committee, after having made an investigation, sympathized with Mr. Cross, who is the Main Trunk Line of the Live Wires and he voluntered the information Mr. Cross had agreed to clean up around his premises as soon as the Lad weather ceases. The com mittee' report follows: "Immediately after appointment the committee met and organized, electing Dr. J. A. van Brakle Chair man and F. A. Olmsted Secretary. Considering good health to be the chief asset of a city the committee determined to first investigate the possibilities of improving that all ' Important subject "Good health depends largely upon three items: A pure source of drink ing water, a clean milk supply and proper sanitation. The water prob lem ia in the hands of excellent com mittees of the City Council and the Live Wires. We recommend that the newly organized Clackamas County Medical Society Investigate and re port to the public aa to the purity of our milk supply. In attempting to cope with the sanitary condition of the city, a survey of actual con ditions is first necessary and has in part already been made. "Wednesday noon the committee covered the territory from Seventh Street south to tbe city limits and from the bluff to the river. Thursday noon the remaining ' portion of the down-town district was gone over. Sunday morning, with the aid of au tomobiles and on foot, the hill dis trict was explored. From this first survey we have returned with one hundred twenty-one specific violations of reasonable cleanliness. "In planning its work the commit tee designs to make general but com plete reports to the Live Wires and to turn over detailed reports to the Fire and Health committee of the City Council and to other proper au thorities. That we may successfully carry out this work we ask the co operation of every individual and of all organizations for the single pur pose of securing a clean, wholesome city to live in. "Because of their vital relation to the health of the public as a whole, the committee wishes to report for concerted action, tbe following de tails: "1. A considerable amount of sew age empties into the Abernethy Creek via John Adams Street and by means of an open drain. "2. The present river bank pro vides the unpleasant spectacle of an Intermittent but continual dumping ground. "3. The alleys of the city, espec ially those down town, are many of them In a deplorably filthy condition. ' "4. In all parts of the city manure heaps are remarkable for their gen eral prevalence. "5. Retaining walls or the lack of them in several districts maintain a menace or obstruction to the passage of pedestrians and vehicles. In some instances the permanent removal of thse obstructions cannot be accom plished until rainy weather lets up. "6. Any persistent relief from tbe presence of -much of our constantly accumulating refuse can only come through the installation of a garbage collection system. "Further report and detail will be made next week." WIRES TO HAKE TRIP TV.- 1 1A U'Im. r, r.. T. I.nnin, l haVft an excursion on the Clackamas Sotith- . , . -T- . i ..
