14 THE SMOKNlvG O KEGOK A3. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 3, 1902, WAR ON GIL TANKS East Side Citizens Hold Mass Meeting. PROTEST AGAINST URBAN SITE Let Tlicm Be Located Ontslde the City, They Say Committee Will Sec Common Council Today. At a mass meeting of citizens and tax payers of Holladays, McMMen'a and Irv ine's Additions and of-Albina, represent ing: about $3'J0,000 In property. held last night In the hall on Williams avenue and Hancock street, a strong protest was made against the location of oil tanks oh the Spmcer .tract, and a .committee was ap pointed to wait on the City Council this afternoon, together with a delegation of .-liizens, and present this protest. The. meeting was called to order by M. J. XlacMahon who briefly set forth the obji-et of the call. On motion Mr. Mac Mahon w-a.s chosen chairman and J. H. ICern secretary. Thomas Connell spoke briefly of the efforts made to relocate the oil tanks of the Stindard Oil Company on the pencer tract. He moved that a committee of five be appointed to draw up resolutions expressing the entiment of the people affected, for presentation to the City Council' this afternoon. The motion "was carried, and the following cpmmittee was named: Thomas Connell, M. J. Mac 2Hahoij, Captain J. H. McMillen. Dr. Rob ert Swain, J. W. Boothe and E. E. Mergea After a short recess the following resolu tions were read and unanimously adopted: We, the citizens, taxpayers and residents of Ilrlladay'.n. McMlllen's and living's Additions, and of Alblna. comprising: the northeastern part of the City of Portland, do hereby protest against the proposed location or the Standard Oil Company's plant on the Spencer tracts or elsewhere In the Ninth or Tenth Wards ot this city; and be It hereby Resolved, That we consider the proposed oil tanks dangerous to the residents of this com munity, detrimental to our renlty values and a menace to our homes; and. be it further Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Portland be requested to prohibit the location of said oil tanks in, either the Ninth or Tenth "Wards of this city, but if a relocation of the oil tanks of the Standard Oil Company be deemed neees-sary. that the Standard OH Company be required to seek a suitable location outside of the city limits. Short and vigorous talks followed. Thomas Connell said It had been stated that the location of the oil tanks on the Spencer tract would not affect the Insur ance beyond 100 Xcct He said that the grain men on the docks had been looking into the matter, and they had found that it would make a difference of 15 cents on the $100. On the Insurance on the sash and door factory, of- which Mr. Connell Is an ov.ner, Itwbuld make a difference of about 51000 a year. He said further .that at the last meeting of the health and police com mittee the matter had simply been tabled, and he moved that the Councilman from the Tenth Ward be requested to -ask this committee to take it from the table and dispose of It, so that It can come before the City Council this afternoon. In case a committee meeting cannot be held this morning, before the Council meeting in the afternoon. Councilman Albee was re quested to make a minority report so it would come before the Council. The mo tion was carried. J. W. Boothe said that, while not a resi dent, he represented large property inter ests, and was present to join with the people in their protest against the loca tion of the oil tanks on the Spencer tract. Ke thought that the meeting was a good representation of the sentiment of the community. The oil tanks should be out of the city. He said that he did not think the City Council would vote to put them on the Spencer tract when it was clear that the people did not want them there. Councilmen wanted to hear from the peo ple, and were looking to this meeting for an expression. The meeting represented. In the judgment of the speaker, about 5300,000 worth of property, all of which was opposed to the oil tanks. Councilman Flegel waa present, and, be ing called out, said that he had come to hear the objections of the people. Frank ly, he said, he regarded the Spencer tract as the best location that could be found for the oil tanks. He declined to say how he would vote when interrogated, and sail St was not a fair question. He de clared that the oil question was an im portant one. Three other companies were asking to come into Portland. The crude oil fuel proposition was cccnlng to the front, and Mr. Flegel said it was- of vast importance to Portland. Steamboats were commencing to use oil for fuel. A smelter would be located in Portland when there was abundance of fuel oil. So it was not a question to settle offhand, and he did not think the Council would take it up at the meeting today. He expressed the opinion that, the Introduction of fuel oil into Portland should be encouraged, and not discouraged. Although piled with pointed questions from several in the room Councilman Flegel kept his temper and replied in good humor. Councilman Albee and Councilman Shar key both declared the oil tanks should be outside the city entirely, and classed them with the powder magazines. William Shea made a particularly strong speech In which he declared that the Spencer tract of three blocks was surrounded by 140 houses, and for four blocks not less than 500 dwellings and homes. It certainly was not an Ideal place to locate a volcano that might ex plode at any moment. Mr. MacMahon closed the addresses by calling attention to the fact that other cities were com pelling removal of oil tanks outside the corporate limits. The meeting then adjourned with the understanding that the committee, sup ported by a delegation of citizens, should . present the protest to the City Council this afternoon and ask that the matter be acted on at once. CORRIGAN'S SUCCESSOR. Elevation of Farley a- Recognition of Liberal Catholics. NEW YORK, Sept. 2. No official no tice of the action of the propaganda in Rome, recommending Bishop Farley's ap polntment as archbishop of New York. has been received at the residence of Bishop Farley. Father Flowery, the bishop's secretary, said that the notifica tion probably will not come from Rome for eight or ten days after favorable ac tlon by the pope on the recommendation John M. Farley, who is to be the suc cessor or Arcnmsnop corngan. is w years old. He became coadjutor bishop of the New lork diocese and titular bishop of Zengura in 1S92. His promotion was then at the request of Archbishop Corrlgan and his selection was due in part to his close acquaintance with the intricate af fairs of the diocese. He Is practically the head of the St. Vincent de Paul So clety. the head of the Catholic school board and a member of the diocesan board of examination. His elevation to the- most important see In this country will be regarded as a recognition of the liberal American Catholics. Bishop Farley's early education was In County Armagh, Ireland, where he was born on August 20, 1842, but he came to this city when he was a youth, and was graduated from St. John's College, Ford ham. In 1S66. His preparation for the priesthood was at St, Joseph's Provincial Seminary, at Troy, N. Y. He was or dained In Rome on June 11, 1S70, and on returning to this city was assigned to the charge of St. Peter's parlsH at New Brighton. S. I. Two years later he -was chosen to succeed Archbishop McCloskey. In 1S81 the pope appointed him private chamberlain, thus conferring upon him the titte of monslgnore. In 1SSG he was appointed a missionary' director, . and In the same year he became a diocesan ad viser. At Bishop Farley's home. Father Hayes, the bishop's secretary, explained that the notification of an election to an arch bishopric was less Important than the election to a bishopric The latter car ried with It elevation to an order in the Roman Catholic church, and a papal bul letin was required. A bishop is conse crated, but an archbishop has been a priest and Is not consecrated, but is In vested with the pallium and Is Installed" in his cathedral church. When askea concerning Bishop Farley's title of bishop of Zengura, Father Hayes said that the position was an honorary one only. Zen gura was a see In Asia Minor, once un der a Roman Catholic bishop, but now inhabited by unbelievers. Bishop Farley himself declined to mako any statement. TOKEN OF GRATITUDE.

Carrying flags of their natlveland. and the Stars and Stripes of tqelr adopted country, the descendants of the Magyar race made an Imposing appearance In the parade, which preceded th presentation ceremonies. In the ranks of the paraders were many prominent Hungarians. The one who at tracted the most attention was G.eneral FIglennessy, a venerable warrior. In whose arms, it is said, Louis Kossuth, died. General FIglennessy fought with Kossuth, as he did with Garibaldi some years later. Seated on the platform In Grand Central Palace were many veterans of the dark- days In the history of Hun gary. Intermingled with half a hundred pretty maidens in becoming costume, members .of the literary society which presented the American flag, which Is to accompany the Hungarian flag wherever it goes on its tour of the societies in this country. Many of the men wore high top boots, with ispurs and uniforms trimmed with fur. They carried sabers. and. while giving a picturesque effect to the scene, appeared rather feverish, ow ing to the torrid weather. General Zsenl, who made the presenta tion, gave a history of the straggles of the Magyars and of their ancient great ness, which he contrasted with their present condition. "The Hungarian National Federation sends to you this flag." he continued, "as token of its gratitude ana in corn- memoration of tho sympathy and the J w'th IKnn1, ,We''L "T ,n. ?lacc .hhn.n.ifhv th Amr,M nn. ?he finished sub-grade shall bo parallel with pie to our country on two occasions.

In presenting this flag to you. Americans born in Hungary, we want to emphasize that the Hungarian flag and the Ameri can flag stand for similar principles and similar alms, namely, liberty, equality and fraternity." The flag or banner Is a gorgeous affair of silk, and Is said to have cost ?2000, which was raised by public subscription. It Is surmounted by a shining orb of pol ished steel, on which Is poised a white eagle, the martial emblem of the Mag yars, holding in Its beak the sword of Attlla.

Owing to the fact that numerous cement sidewalk contractors are laying walks in the city that do not come up to the city requirements for walks, the City Engineer has drawn up specifications for concrete walks, and will endeavor to have them enforced. Some walks that have been laid within the last two months are already showing .signs of wear, and it Is with the Idea of stopping walks of this sort from being laid that the new specifications have been drawn up. The requirements 'are clear and specific, and every property-owner can see that they are being complied with when he has a walk laid. If for any reason he is una ble to do so, he can secure, the services of one of the members of the City Engineer's force at a price stipulated in the city ordinances. An extra payment of a dol lar or two in the effort to secure a good and durable walk is evidently' not thrown away. The main requirements for such a walk are that the walk be laid on the proper grade, that the cement used be of good material, that the concrete be well mixed, and that proper care be exercised in lay ing the material. If these requirements are complied with, the property-owner should have a good walk, and not a poor arrair tnat will crack and chip with a few weeks' wear. One of the worst de stroyers of walks are tho roots of trees that are planted alongside the parking Deiween tne stone and the curb. The best way of preventing the walk from being broken by these roots, and lifted ud a few inches. Is to dig a trench two feet deep, and three or four inches wide, next to tho walk, thus severing all roots tnat project under the concrete. After tne trench Is dug and the roots cut the earth should be put back into tho hole and the sod replaced, and It will take two or three years for the roots to grow to sucn a size tnat will render the opera tlon again necessary. The city requirements are as follows: Cnrl. The curb shall be 10 Inches deea,. six lnchM In wjdth at ton, and batter out at tho rat of one Inch In one foot, and shall be beveled or rounded on the outer and upper edge. Foundation. The space over which tho walk Is to ba laid will be excavated to the proper sub-grade and tnorougmy compacted by rolling or rammlne. Any objectionable or unsuitable material below sub-grade will be removed and the space filled tho surface of the finished walk.

Sand. t L All sand ured must be clean, sharp sand, known as Columbia River sand. Concrete. Upon the foundation prepared as heretofore specified will bi laid a bed of concrete three Inches In thickness, to be made as follows: One part of cement and three parts of sand will be thoroughly mixed dry and made into a mortar with the least possible amount of wa ter: to this will be added the broken stone, thoroughly drenched with water, but contain ing no loose water In the heap. The mortar and stcne shall be mixed In such proportions that all the voids In the mass are filled with mortar, provided that there shall not be more than six paits nor less than five parts of stone. The rock shall be Incorporated Immediately with the specified measure of mortar and thor oughly mixed. It shall then be spread and at onco thoroughly compacted by ramming until free mortar appears upon the surface. The upper surface shall be made exactly parallel with the sunace of the completed walk. The mortar and concrete shall not be mixed In greater quantities than Is required for imme diate use, and none remaining unused until having set shall be remixed or used in any way. The whole operation of mixing and lay ing each batch of concrete shall be performed as expeditiously as possible. Wenrlnfj Snrfnce. Upon this base the wearing surface will be laid three-fourths of an inch' in thickness. It will bo composed of one part of cement and one part of sand.

It will be cut as nearly as possible Into slabs three feet square or of such other size and shape as may be directed,, and. If required by the City Engineer, shall be' pro tected from the action of the sun. wind and rain until thoroughly set. Upper and Oater Sarface of Curb.
