J8 r Council Decides on Illuminat ing Scheme 11 to 30. K. of Mayor Is Certain. 53000 GIVEN CITY PLANS Car frtanr-hic to lir Cnldcretl Wrdnoeday Official Oppose rviajloj Civil Service HI rlblea A.phalt Bid Ixw. After a aharp skirmish yesterday tnornlK In which three members ques tioned tbe business Judgment of appro, ptiatlnr funds for Illuminating the brldcea across the Willamette Klver at I'orUand. the Council passed an ordi nance carrying- 1 1 5.009 for that purpose. It will be signed by Mayor Rushlight, undoubtedly, as he In reality fathered the measure. It being his Idea that this plan would be a good one fur the city to fallow In showing- Its spirit toward the thousands who will participate In conventions and festivals here this year. Councilman Masjulre first took the floor against the ordinance, belna; fol lowed by Councllmen Clyde and Daly. Mr. Maguire said he believed there are other things more urgently needed than Illumination of bridge, although he favored cluater llghta. these being re carded by Mm as necessary for public safety. Clyde Osipimea Blx Fobs. Councilman Clyde said that Ms con stituents bad been clamor Ins; for arc lights In the suburbs, but that he had been forced to tell them there was no fund from which to draw for additional lamps. In view of this fact, he said. It appeared tn Mm as though it would be wiser to eliminate some of the Unfits on the b riders and spread a few lamps In suburban districts. Councilman Inly said he believed It r.or Judgment to spend 115.000 ou: of the lighting and general funds, because It was necessary to borrow $7500 from general fund to have the funds railed fur In the ordinance, lie aald he believed, after reflection. It would be best to eliminate some of the Illumina tion on the bridges and simply Install n-cesary permanent Herts. ieorge l Haker. president of the 'uncil. took the door la championship nt the original lighting pirn reported T.irorably by the was and means com mittee. Jointly with the lighting com mittee of the City Executive Hoard. Mr. timber argued that, while It I true there la need fr more lights In suburban dis tricts. It la also true tbat resi dents of those sections will reap Indi rect benefit by the hundred of thou sands of persons who are to visit Port land this year and succeeding years, because, he said, their property will be doubled In value by tie results to follow. taker la tmr Ordlaaar. l do not believe. said Mr. Raker. ' that many living la suburban districts would object te the passage cf this or- tinani. mrmm It a.... .... -. m t ikl.k thev will be glad to take their friends I t- the bridges In t.':e conventions and ncta! occasions and to point with pride la these Illuminations. Tha civic as sociations are trying to make this a iitv fur convention, and I think tha iuncil should do no less than to pass !us ordinance. The ordinance was then passed, the vat being II fur and 1 against. Coun cilman Wllhelm was absent during this period of the meeting. Councilman Jennings, who has been HI for several months, was present. Tha Council alo passed, by unani mous vote, an ordinance appropriating I !) for the publication of the tlreater l'artlandtans. A delegation of prom inent men waa present to show Interest In this subject. At the request of May or Kushllght. Councilman Paker sub mitted an amendment to the measure, which wilt Insure the publication In the volume of certain municipal stat'stlcs. Kraaeblaea I Wednesday.

Sl.tvor Rushlight said, answering a fiuestion by Councilman Haker. that tha c. tarter specifies the powers of tha Com mission and that be did not think tha Council can do more than show Its sen. tlment on tha subject. A remonstrance of 71 per cent of the property-owners In the district official, ly known as "Fourteenth and other streets." In North 1'nrtland. waa filed, invalidating an ordinance that waa passed, specifying vitrified bricks for t.e pavement there. A new ordinance ill be necessary. It is said that the property-ovrners want atone blocks. An unusually low bid for asphalt was submitted by the Oregon Independent 1'avlng Company on Kast Nineteenth street, the bid quoting a rate of f 1.45 a square yard. Tha bids are referred by routine to the Kxecutlve Board for for. mat award, after being considered by the Cooncll street committee. 32 V7i JURY FREES WALTER COX Young Mao Chanced With fccndlnr Thrratrnlng letter Kxonrra Ul.
