Mr. Henry there fore bided his time and waa present when the order waa made about sprink ling. He waa pleased with thla. but In regard to the failure to complete the second pipeline on time, as well as -the reservoirs at Mount Tabor, caused him to make an offer to Rev. George C. Carl, pastor of the Friends' Church on tha Peninsula, to pay the exnensos of an lrrvestlgatlon started by a delega tion In that community. Mr. Mills also remained and heard the Board through. He made no com ment after the evening sprinkling privilege was renewed. Contractor Are Censured. Robert Wakefield Company, eon tractors on the Mount Tabor reservoirs, were criticised severely for declining to sign an agreement to allow the Board to attach the city's pipe to Reservoir No. i. It ts said a better pressure for the South Fast Side can be had by ao doing and the Board members expressed the opinion that contractors finished np a Job 16 months late had best not stand too earongly on their rights. It was suggested that tha city might complete the contract in case the company holda out against the agreement. In view of the great necessity for Increased wafer supply over all the city. The effort to get thla arrangement will be renewed today by order of the Board, through Engineer Clarke. There waa tremendous pressure from all sections of the city at the Board session, residents. Including men. wo men and children, pleading fur action that would at least afford enough wa ter for rooking meals and doing ordin ary household work. Some places In tha Mount Scott district tbera bag been - x--.' v.-' v actual distress, particularly in Reser voir Park, where the Metzger private plant ts the only source of supply. F. W. Jobelmann and others besought the Board to do something- to relieve the conditions and Mr. Wilcox moved to have the enplneer report on the needs there, with a view to Installing mains. Mayor Rushlight does not favor purchasing the private plant. Sell wood Blames Kng-lneer. Walter Adams, from Sellwood, complained- that that district Is scarcely any better supplied now than before a larger main was laid Into It. because, aa he said. Chief Engineer Clarke had used bad Judgment In his estimate of the needs. Mr. Clarke tied a 24-Inch main Into the new pipe, said Mr. Adams, decreasing the supply and leav ing Sellwood without water at some time, of the day. He crlticlned Mr. Clarke severely, but Mr. Wilcox laid that such charges must be placed In writing, and Mr. Adams said he would make L,a complaint that way. Mains were ordered rushed into Ful ton Park, aa far south as the Portland donation land claim, where rights of way have been obtained. This was ordered two years ago, but Engineer Clarke said he had delayed because of other and more important work. Mr. Wilcox said he thought it waa about time to do tl.s work, that he had sup posed It was under way. Engineer Clarke's report on the Bull Run pipeline showed that considerable progress has been made by the con tractors, but that the time of comple tion of the conduit is Indefinite. He said the work may be finished In 10 days. Tests must be made after com pletion. CITY VOTE IS ANNULLED SrPREME COCKT REVERSES rMIXXVILLE VERDICT. Failure of Recorder to Post Xotlcea Properly Is Baals for Ruling-. Other Cases Heard. SALEM. Or Aug. L (Ppeclal.) Revers ing the lower court today in the case of G. a Wright vs. the City of Mc Mlnnvllle, the Supreme Court practically held void an election to bond that city for $10,000 for the construction of water main a Tha fact that the City Recorder Improperly posted notices of the eleo tlon not in accord with the provisions of the city charter was the principal reason for tha reversal. Peculiar features arose In the caae of Elmer Wallace vs. Mary E. McDaniel. et al., which waa appealed from Mult nomah County and resulted In a modifi cation of the lower court's decree. Thla was a stilt in equity Involving title to real property in Multnomah County. John and Ida Endecott were separated and the wife married Elmer Wallace, deefndanta allege, before the expiration of alx months following the divorce. Tlve court held that the t'me was ao near the expiration and circumstances were such that the marriage was not void. Instead of giving Wallace merely an equitable Interest in the land In ques tion, which belonged to Mrs. Wallace, who died Intestate, the higher court gave Wallace all the land.

Dissatisfaction on the part of stock holders In the Bowers Hotel Company was disclosed In the suit by that cor poration filed in the Slate Circuit Court yesterday against L. F. Weaver for the recovery of $1000, alleged to be a de linquent assessment against Weaver for stock held by him. The trouble has arisen entirely from the fact of the reported acceptance by H. C. Bowers, president of the Bowers Hotel Com pany and manager of the Bowers Hotel, of the management of the Multnomah Hotel, which probably will be opened about the first of the year. The Bowers Hotel Company was or ganised last February and took over the Nortonia Hotel property at Tenth and Stark streets, from the late R. B. Lamson. The capital stock of the cor poration was $200,000. H. C Bowers, at that time manager of the Portland, agreed to assume the management of the Nortonia under the name of the Bowers Hotel In consideration that he should receive $S0,000 of the capital stock. Mr. Bowers was made presi dent, I. N. Fleischner vice-president, and E. C. Mears, secretary. Three months later, Mr. Bowers was reported to have accepted the management of the Multnomah Hotel when that hos telry opens, probably next January. Thl scaused tho dissension among the stockholders. Weaver Falls to Pay. In the meantime, with the exception of two or three stockholders, all those Interested In the property, paid their stock subscriptions and subsequent as sessments. Mr. Weaver la one of those who did not New Offer Tentative. "Like a number of other stockhold ers in the corporation, the investment by Mr. Weaver In stock In the Bowers Hotel Company was purely specula tive." said Mr. Bowers, president of the company, last night. "His invest ment was not solicited. Tht fact is. he hunted me up and solicited an op portunity to invest his money. When he did ao. It was with a knowledge of the affairs of the corporation, the amount of stock and the amount held by each of the Interested stockhold ers. As to the amount of stock I re ceived In the corporation, I regard that as the business of the stockholders only and not that of the public. "My agreement with the Multnomah Hotel people as to accepting the man agement of that hostelry is tentative only. My final decision will be dic tated by the expressed wishes of the stockholders in the corporation with which I am now Identified. In re sponse to personal letters addressed to esery stockholder In the company, I have received replies from two-thirds of them and without exception I am advised, if my interests will best be served by accepting the management of the Multnomah Hotel, to do so and at the same time to look after the In terests of my associates in the Bowers Hotel Company as best I can. How ever. I shall remain loyal to my friends and under no consideration will I leave my friends in the lurch, even If it In volves abandoning the offer that has been made to me by the owners of the Multnomah Hotel." Sale May Follovrw. Mr. Fleischner, vice-president oi the Bowers Hotel Company, admitted that dissatisfaction existed among a minor ity of the stockholders of the concern because of the possible resignation of Mr. Bowers as manager and his ac ceptance of a similar position with the Multnomah Hotel. "In the meantime." said Mr. Fleisch ner. "an effort will be made to dispose of the property held by the Bowers Hotel Company to the satisfaction of the stockholders to the end that they will be able to get their money back. We have the word of Mr. Bowers to the effect that he will reserve a final decision -as to the offer of a position i.w .
