SCHOOL BOARD MAY APPOINT OVERSEER Creation of Office of Superin tendent of Properties Is Considered. $3600 SALARY SUGGESTED Purchase of East Side Ground Pro pord Thrre Trarlirr Kelgn. Armory to Be Engaged for Taxpayers Meeting. The fflre of Superintendent of Properties to supervise the work of architect employed by the Board of Education, to soperintend the eonstruc- tlon of all new school buildings In Portland, to in thut repairs are made properly, and Incidentally to relieve the s.'hrxl Hoard of the responsibility of countersigning requisitions, may be created. The question was diseased at a meeting; of me Board In the Tllford building yesterday afternoon. The an nual salary suggested for the proposed superintendent was 13S00. but as mem bers of the Board did not think a com petent man could be enganed at that future. It Is probable the salary will be ftxed higher. If the office Is created. H. C. Campbell, a member of the Board. suggested that It Is by elgning requisitions that the Board members keep In touch with work being done, and that It might be wise to continue doing this work. M. ti. Munlv and S. C Bearh said they thought a sal ary Inadequate. Laag Parrtsae niaeaaaeg. It was decided to purchase, if pos sible, a trlp of 5:o feet long and 109 feet wide, lying between East Se-enty-thlrd and Seventy-fourth streets and Orihini avenue and Siskiyou street. This strip aajolns property now owned by the city, and which It Is intended to use for school purposes. C J. Jones la the owner of the land sought. He de sired to eell three and one-half acres at 0U0. The Board agreed to purchase the land provided he would not charge at the rate of more than JJuOD an acre. The Board decided to obtain a con tour survey of a plee of property ly ing near the Shaver Scnool. The Board has several pieces In mind to be used for playground purposes, but as there Is heavy grade, retaining walls would have to be built, and there Is a ques tion as to which could be put In shape the cheapest. Mary Ward, first grade teacher at Shattuck School, resigned and Cather ine Ridgley. of Arleta. waa appointed to fill her place. Other resignations and appointments were: Kva .Mulkey. -fourth grade Ladd School, resigned; Klsle Koerber. of Brooklyn School, elected to till her place: Lois Tager, teacher of English at Stephens School, resigned: Miss Rose B. Kouts. of Walla Walla, elected to fill her place. F. E. larrlgan. teacher of mathematics, has been transferred from the Jefferson High School to the Lincoln High School. O. E. Carr. a graduate of Al legneny College, was elected to fill the place at Jefferson High School tem porarily. Mis Maud Laughead will fill the place of Miss Kldgley at Arleta, and Miss Josephine Ol-eary will take the fifth grade at Brooklyn School. f or fear that It will be necessary to adlourn the taxpayers' meeting Friday nuiil to a larger place becauso of the heavy attendance, the Bard decided to engage the Armory. Although all the taxpayers In the district have the right to vote on the tax levy fixed by the School Board, from 30 to ZvO usually cast their votes. CIVIC (OlNdli WANTS CIT I'.ody Would Umrr Tax Levy and Issue Ilonds. Aiming to bring about a reduction In the proposed school tax levy from to I mills and provide for the de ficiency thereby created through the Issuance of bonds ami to have much of the work outlined for the future cared for by bonds a 4 a means of re leasing taxpayers from liquidating heavily at one time, representatives of the Civic Council will attend the an nual meeting of the School Board Fri day evening at 1 o'clock at the Lincoln lllsh School. The Council's committer on school resolutions, consisting of E. L. Mills. L. K. Latourettc. J. H. tlaak. Ir. Hamil ton Meade. It P. Merchant. O. a. IlusMson and 11. A. Huble, will present t-iree resolutions to the Board, one resolution provides fiat expenditures for buildings and property be raised through future taxation and that the Board provide for the payment of at least one-half of the projects by bond Issues ami create a sinking fund for their redemption. Another resolution will provide for the reduction of the tax levy and that bonds not to exceed $400,000 be Issued to make up the de ficiency In the estimate. The third ap proves the school bill Introduced at the last session of the Legislature, which provides, among other things, for the appointment of a commissioner of school property who la to be re sponsible for the care and preserva tion of holdings and the expenditure of funds for maintenance. Members of the committee complain tlat In the past they have been given no consideration at annual sessions, fat the Board members have disre garded parliamentary rules by moving to adopt a report and couple with It a root 'on to adjourn so the committee rould not be heard at length. This, they say. has prompted them to draft resolntlons In the hope of gaining ccnslderatlon. "As there is considerable money spent annually for school purposes, we mnt a business system. say the com mitteemen. -The Board can negotiate In the interest of the school district for funds to carry on work without making It a drain on the taxpayers at one time, and Interest would be from 41, to I per cent- while If small prop erty owners have to borrow to make up their tax payments they often pay as high as per cent- The assessed taluatlon of property In School Dis trict No. 1 is 1:90.000.000. The Board has estimated that from the ta-c levy at C mills f l.t0.000 would be available. Now. on a tax levy of li mills there would be fl.30S.000 accruing and on a bond issue of $3Ss.v0 the funds avail able would be the same. - We do not care to conduct a lone handed campaign.

Har vey, the Mllwaukle nurseryman, acquit ted of having any connection with the slaying of the Hill family In Justice of the Peace Samson's court, to the grand Jury, which will meet January 10. "I want the grand Jury to have the evidence and the case to be sifted to the bottom, not only for the benefit of the people of the county and state, but for the benefit of the man we accused." said the Sheriff. "We made a mistake in not Introducing more evidence at the examining trial. The mistake will not be made again. I shall have a talk with District Attorney Tongue regarding the course to be pursued." Scores of friends of Sheriff Mass said today that the Sheriff had done his duty, and should not be blamed In any way. He has worked almost continu ously" on the case since the finding of the bodies, and has gone without the necessary sleep for weeks at a time. It Is argued that the Sheriff, has done all possible for any human being to do In trying to solve the case. "I am confident that the slayer of the Hills will yet be captured." con tinued Sheriff Mass, "and I have by no means given up the fight. If Mr. Harvey Is Innocent I want that fact to be clearly shown. But aa certain as the crime was committed the guilty person will be found, and I believe pun ished."

FEE REDUCTION IS ASKED Seaside Lumber Unit's Bondholder Says Attorney's Pay Too Much. ASTORIA. Or.. Dec IT. (Special.) While no objections have been pre sented to the resent foreclosure sal of the. plant and timber holdings of the dofunct Seaside Lumber and Manufac turing Company, a petition haa been tiled in the Circuit Court by A. Judson Sayre. one of the holders of bonds Is sued by the company, asking thst the attorney's fees be reduced to t per cent of the. sale price and that the compensation of to trustee be re duced to $500. Accompanying the petition Is an af fidavit from Robert Treat Piatt, at torney for the petitioner. In which Mr. Piatt says the attorney's fee of $9000 for foreclosing the mortgage and the receiver's fee of $-000 were fixed when It waa supposed the company's prop erty was worth $10.000. The prop erty sold for $ ft. 000. says the affi davit, and s per cent of that amount or about'$1000. It is said, would be m reasonable fee. It adds that If the full amount of the fees asked la allowed nothing will remain from the sale for the benefit of the bondholders. SHERIFFS' RULING MADE Only Fees Specifically Named in Code Held Collectible. SALEM, fir, Dec. 7. (Special.) That Sheriffs cannot collect fees in civil actions except those that are specific ally named by the code in acts subse quent to 1S93 is the substance of an opinion written by Assistant Attorney General Crawford today. The opinion states that that provision In the code which provides that "Sheriffs shall collect the following fees" Is a nullity. Inasmuch as no pro vision is made for them to collect rich fees for the benefit of the county. The Supreme Court held In the Dunbar case along this line and the opinion of the Attorney-General's office is largely based on the opinion of that court. A Steinway Piano for rent or sale.

ONLY TWO ARE FILED C. E. S. Wood's Short Form -May Go on Ballot IX"plte Consolidation. Mayor Trees Vntty Wednes day Meeting Called. With four rival charter drafts In the field, the fate of the commission form of ffoverrrment for rortland will rest in s large defrree In the hands of the committee of Ave appointed by Mayor RushllKlit to take steps for a fusion of the different charter drafts, to limit the number to be put to a vote. This committee will meet next Wednesday to consider plans for consideration of the drafts. At present there are but two drafts In the hands of the Council, the short form drawn up by C. E. 8. Wood, and the draft of the official charter com mission, and the latter is the only one that has been submitted formally for the consideration of the Council. When the people's commission, appointed by the East Side Business Men's League, disagreed and dissolved at Its tinal meeting; Tuesday niicht. It was suggest ed that the draft It had completed might be submitted Informally under the signatures of the Individual mem bers favoring It. W. C. Benbow. whose short draft broucht about the disrup tion of the commission, said he Intend ed to submit his charter yesterday In formally, under his own signature and thoe of his adherents In the minority. Neither draft was filed with the Coun cil yesterday, but will be filed In time to come before the committee f five for consideration next week Mayor frees Coasolldatloa. 1 have suggested to the committee." said Mr. Rushlight last night, "that a second commission be appointed to work over and fuse the four into one draft, which shall to on the ballot klone. with the official sanction of the Council. In this new commission J believe there should be at least three men from the Council and the other six should be representatives of the other commissions or supporters of the other drafts. I am not particular as T J lardy Gift Portland's Big Men of Affairs PIANOLA PIANOS AT MERCILESSLY CUT PRICES UDraxy ana juumkuiu vui. 6.- NOW THE NATION'S LARGEST to the exact methods they use to ar rive at an understanding, so long as they deviBe a satisfactory method of getting out of the difficulty with which the presence of so many pros pective charter drafts confronts the people." The Wood charter was the first com piled and copies of It were In the hands of the other commissions before they completed their work. Mr. Wood also filed a copy Informally with the City Council. The Wood charter provides generally for the mere essentials of commission form of government, plac ing the executive and administrative power with the Mayor and the legis lative power with the Council. Initiative May Be Tried. Even If the committee from the Coun cil Is able to agree on fusion of the different charter drafts. It Is still pos sible for the supporters of the Wood draft in Its original form to have it placed on the ballot as an Initiative measure, as more than 7500 have al ready signed for it. A. D. Cridge, a member of the people's commission, who came out last Tuesday night with the Insurgents In favor of Benbow's draft, has been a strong supporter of the Wood charter and has been active In placing It before the people. It has also been Indorsed and backed by all the labor organisations of the city. Mr. Wood himself has not been taking an active part in the campaign to bring his draft Into popular favor and said last night that he Intended to take no active part in the future. The official draft filed by the com mission appointed by Mayor Blmon is the only one that haa been submitted formally to the Council. On the date that had been set for the completion of the draft the commission, of which E. C. Bronaugh waa chairman, com pleted its labors and placed the result of Its work in the hands of the City Auditor. The official charter consists of an adaptation of the existing char ter to the commission form and pro vides for few new features aside from those absolutely required to harmonise It with government by five commis sions instead of Mayor and Council. Second Draft Ready. The people's commission announced when it first began Its labors that It Intended to have Its draft completed at an earlier date than the official com mission. Before the time had expired, however, an extension until December 17 was asked and granted. Not ready to file the draft at that time, the com mission, without petitioning for an ex tension of time, continued Its meetings until Tuesday night, when the final corrections of the draft were completed. The proposed charter of the people's commission differs from the official draft, in that it does not attempt an adaptation of the old charter, but at tempts to draw up an entirely new draft, leaving in the old charter such provisions as were not in conflict, to stand with the force of ordlnances, sub Jecf to repeal by the CounclL Throughout the meetings of the com mission two factions were in evidence. One. In which Chairman A. E. Clark and A. W. Montague were the strongest representatives, favored a draft suffi ciently long to cover practically as many details as are covered In the ex isting form. W. C. Benbow headed the other faction, which stood for gen Buyer House. At one stroke it is a gift to the whole family. And such a gift! Not for today and to be forgotten to morrow, but for every day for a gen eration to come. $122 to $175 will buy you a good, dependable used Piano.

AT SEVENTH eral sweeping provisions covering the essentials of commission government, leaving the details to be settled by the ordinances of the Council or decided by the courts. Mr. Benbow's short draft, which was first brought before the commission and rejected about three weeks ago. follows similar lines of those of the Wood charter, going somewhat more deeply Into detail. With the refusal of Dr. Harry Lane In the meeting Tuesday night to sign the official draft of the committee, the Benbow opposition sprang to the front, with the result that the commission dis solved, dividing about equally in sup port of the official draft and of the Benbow short draft. A resolution was adopted last week recommending that the Council make an effort by fusion of the charters to reduce the number In the field. This resolution, which was drawn up by Mr. Montague, was to have been submitted with the completed draft of the charter. Since the dissolution of the commission, however, the resolution, apparently. Is not considered. Both the Benbow doc ument and the official East Side draft will go Into the committee from the Council as submitted by Individuals. St. Johns Ferry Bids Opened. Bids for building of the St. Johns ferry, to operate between that city and Clare mont, were yesterday opened by the County Court.

County Also to Appropriate Fundi for Rellet Road Builders to Get $2 a Day. When Mayor Rushlight's office at the City Hall became crowded yester day afternoon with worklngmen ask ing for food for their children the Mayor decided that Immediate action In furnishing: city work to the unem ployed was necessary and accordlng lv signed the ordinance passed by the City Council yesterday morning ap propriating $10,000 to the cause. He then took up the task of arranging a system whereby the needy can be given employment tomorrow morning at wages of (2 a day.- The needy are requested to appear ar the office of Park Superintendent Mlache In the City Hall, when deserv ing men of families will be engaged and taken to the Mount Tabor district where a road is to be built. The scene in the Mayor's office yes terday was pitiful. Honest-appearing laborers, skilled and unskilled, ap peared with their children and told tearful stories of destitution and asked for food and fuel. Secretary McCord said last night that the Mayor gave away an amount equal to his week's salary to men whom he knew to be In actual need. The men spoke to the Mayor and In many cases the chil dren gave mute evidence of being hungry and cold. Mayor to Rash Aid. The Mayor said there was no need of delaying the beginning of work.

The men who have been In my office are all worthy. When a man with five or six children appears in my office and asks for work at small wages. I do not con sider that he Is an idler or unwilling to work. If there are any hobos and tramps who are trying to get work they have not been In my office. I do not believe in extending charity to any able-bodied man, but there is a big difference when a man with a large family proves to you he cannot get work and Is willing to do any thing to give his family food, clothing and warmth." The ordinance passed by the Coun cil appropriating 110,000 was passed without a dissenting vote. It carried the emergency clause and became ef fective as soon as the Mayor signed it. The signature was affixed within two hours after the ordinance was passed. The county will be able to take care of more than BO men, according to the statement given out last night. The decision of the officials to give more than 60 men work was reached when the office of the Board of Belief re ceived several hundred applications for work. The men were sent to the offioe by the Municipal Free Employ ment Bureau. Many men were en gaged, while others refused to work for $1 a day and board. The county will be able to take care of about 75 men, according to present arrangements. Temporary ramps are to be established at the Multnomah Farm at Rocky Point. At these mar ried men will be engaged In rough labor. They will be well fed by the county and their families will receive their wages. County Outlines Work, Work, as outlined by the County Court, is as follows: 15 men near the Linnton quarry, grubbing and break ing rock at tl a day and board; eight men at the rock quarry In the Taylor Ferry district removing dirt from the rock above the rock face at J1.50 a day and carfare; 25 men at the Mult nomah Farm clearing land at $1 a day and board; 30 men at Rocky Point breaking rock at tl a day and board. The county appropriation probably will amount to as much or more than the city appropriation. It is figured that the city and county will both get value received for the money expended and will furnish relief to hundreds of families. The police will take steps to rid the city of idlers. At present many men are said to walk the streets all night because of having no places to sleep and the police have difficulty in han dling them. When the city and county work is begun tomorrow there will be no excuse for loafers, it is said, and they will be required to accept em ployment or leave the cityj A ft
