The receipts for the quarter ending De cember 31 were given at $260,019.58, and in the disbursements a dividend of 1 and one-half per cent is noted. An ordinance was submitted to the Council yesterday fixing a penalty for the violation of the section of the char ter which provides that public service corporations must submit quarterly finan cial statements. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee, which will probably recommend that it be enacted. The proposed law provides as a penalty a fine of not less than $250 or more than $309, or improsinment of not more than six months for failure on the part of the companies to furnish reports. The. presidents, secretaries and local man agers of the companies are held liable. Two weeks ago Mayor Iane addressed a letter to City Attorney McN'ary asking that something be done to force the com panies to submit reports, as many of them have ignored the chartev provision. Mr. McN'ary replied that nothing could be done at that, time as there was no penalty for the violation of the pro visions. He then prepared the ordinance submitted yesterday. IS INSTALLED AS PASTOR Rev. G. A. Blair Take Charge of Xcw Presbyterian Church. Rev. G. A. Blair was installed as pastor of Vernon Presbyterian Church last flight by a committee from the Portland Presby tery. The ceremony took place in the small temporary chapel recently erected. Rev. Andrew Montgomery, of the Third Presbyterian Church, delivered a sermon Rev. (i. A. Blti.r, PaMor wt Vernon Pi-ethTterliin Church. 1 appropriate to the occasion, in the course of which he-congratulated the new church on the start it had made and on its pros pects of becoming a larpre and prosperous r ongre-jaiion.- Rev. Henry Marcotte, of Westminster Presbyterian Church, and Kev. D. H. Hare assisted in the instal lation. Mr. Blair is a recent arrival in Portland. Already plans have been pre pared under hi? direction for a church that will cost $VXH), the contract for the cement foundation having been let last nifiht by the building committee. Mr. Biatr has been in the ministry 22 years and has now started on the erection of his 13th new church. He lounded and built the First Cum berland Presbyterian church, now the Hawthorne Park Presbyterian Church of Portland, and has had a most remark able record as a church builder, having built a new church for every IS months of his career as a preacher.

April Permits Segregated A. L. Fin ley Bays Corner on Yamhill Street for $55,000. Building Inspector Spencer complet ed yesterday a segregated statement of the April permits. The statement shows that operations on the Kast Side in dwellings so far exceeded those on the West Side as to indicate two facts worthy of attention. The East Side offers the better inducement for small home-makers in the cheapness of lots, and that the West Side lias little more, ground to offer for dwellings east of the Heights. Buildings for business purposes, on the other hand, have made a record during the month on the West Side, reaching nearly $1,000,000 in value. The fire ordinance restrictions have kept down the number of frame busi ness blocks, only 12 figuring in the month's permits, and they, of course, arc located outside the limits and. as a rule," in sparsely settled districts near the suburbs. The segregation of permits is as follows: Total number of permits . 3?9 91 for repairs, amounting to..$ 40.172 42 for sheds and barns 6.885 207 for East Side dwellings.. 370.2P0 19 for West Side dwellings.. 82.850 16 for class A, B, and C 979,600 2 for reinforced concrete buildings -. 12,000 12 for frame business blocks.. 26,180 Total ,1.52.6,977 The most important deal closed yes terday was for lots 1. 2, 7 and 8. in block 309-, being 100n200 feet on the south side of Yamhill street, between Fourteenth and Lownsdale streets. The property was owned by Annie J. Lawrence, and through the agency of F. O. Xorthrup was sold for $rio,000 to A. L. Finley and others, of Portland. The price is considered reasonable, and the purchasers express themselves as well satisfied with their bargain. This is the largest piece of property sold in that vicinity in several years. The lots are Improved at present by a large frame building, but the new own ers expect to erect on the site, proba ably within a year, a six-story class A family hotel orapartment house. Excavation work has begun on the 100x200 piece on the east side of Fifth street, between Yamhill and Taylor streets, for David S. Stearns' four story brick business building. A local investor has purchased 50x 100 feet on the north side of Wash ington street, between Sixteenth and Seventeenth, known as the Templeton, of six flats. The consideration was $37,500. The property was owned by Dr. Templeton. The sale was made by W. B. Strcetcr and E. J. Daly. DENTISTS CONVENE TODAY Annual Meeting of State Association to Be Held In Portland.

ACTIVITY AT RAINIER. Believed Hnrriman Is Seeking Itler Frontage to Parallel Hill Line. RA.IXIER. Or.. May 1. Marked ac tivity continues in this town, and there is not the slightest doubt that Rainier is Just on the eve of bis developments. That such is the. case is evident from inquiries made during the week for river frontage. While these inquiries are apparently from concerns looking for manufacturing sites, with both rail and water facilities, there is generally supposed to be more back of the in quiries than industrial plants. Ever since the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad passed into the hands of the Hill crowd the Harriman people have been very active through this district. It is known that it was the Harriman people who made large purchases of water, frontage at Astoria, and it Is believed here that the Harriman roads system is back of .the inquiries for locations here, for it is impossible for the Harriman road to parallel the Hill lino, as it is supposed it will do, un less it is able to buy or control all the river frontage of this town. In teresting developments are looked for in the near future. - KJSER KB SOUVENIR PHOTOS. Northwest Scenery Imperial Hotel.

The Kast Twenty-eighth Street Im provement Association held its annual meeting last night in the Mission house, on East Glisan and Twenty eighth streets, and elected the follow ing officers for the ensuing year: President, Frank Hotter; vice-president, W. B. Hall; secretary, W. T. Gard ner; assistant secretary. Joseph S. Hutchinson; treasurer, F. W. Ariss. Mr. Motter. re-elected president for the third time, thanked the association for the cdVnpliment. The association had intended to take CITY RA.Fg.KL in IS TRANSPORTATION 00 . There will be no better transpor tation facilities in Portland than those that will be' completed to Rose City Park within a few days. Al though it was originally announced that the carline would be ready by June 1, it is now a fact that service to the foot of the hill will be in full force by May 15., Many people who have withheld the building of their home3, pending the completion of the carline, have announced their intention of com mencing their homes at once. Service from the heart of the city to Jtose City Park will require only 15 minutes. Returning to the city this time may be reduced be cause of the decline. The carline will run along Sandy Road, the straightest and quickest route from Rose City Park. The fare will be only five cents. Residents of New York, Chicago, St. Louis or other large Eastern cities would go wild with delight -had they the street car facilities of Rose City Park. There is scarcely a desirable suburb in Chicago that can be reached by street car in less than 30 minutes, while most of the higher class locations are more than an hour's ride from down town. Rose City Park is not only the most favored by Nature, but by the street railroads as well. It is an ideal place to live, to build, to bring up children and for every purpose connected with real home life. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE up the veto of Mayor Lane of the ordi nance, providing for the buildins 'of a concrete bridge across Sullivan Gulch, on Kast Twents'-eiprhth street, but Councilman Bennett reported that, while the Mayor's veto had been sus $40,000 Paying' $275 Per Month Under t-ecured o-year lease, made in 1903.

Transportation need worry nobody. Those who live in the far dis tant suburbs of Port land will tell you that 15 minutes down town is a Godsend. Street- cars will run on a schedule of 15 minute3. The first service will be an extension of the Twenty-eighth street line. It is quite possi ble that the inaugura tion of streetcars will influence the price of the lots. It would be extremely wise to buy now, and particularly within the coming two weeks. 1 1 0 3 I I 11 I 1 tained, another ordinance providing for the bridge had been passed embodying the Mayors suffgeslons for the saving of considerable money on the bridge.
