14 TE SUNDAY ORTCOyiAy, PORlTuAlO), DECEMBER 3, 1905. written uw OF ITEfl BOARD How It Is Broken for Favored Few, but Observed for Others. - MAINS ARE LAID IN ALLEYS Xiadd Tract Can Have-All the Pipes It Desires, but Less Fortunate Districts Are Constantly Being Refused. Analysis ol the situation -with reference to the "unwritten law" of. the Water Board that a main shall nrft be-laid until the street has been Irnprovod or the grade established and the revenue to be -derived pays C per cent Interest vn the cost of construction, reveals many-intoroatlug features. Occasions have been frequent where tho mains have been extended even beyond the city limits to cover special cases, while at tho same time loss .favored dis tricts within the borders of the munici pality have clamored In vain for a supply. According to Its own estimates, it is hard to determine upon what basis the 6 per cent proposition is figured. The rec ord of proceedings by the Board show many instances where watcr-usars have been granted larger mains, not upon the supposition that there was any actual In crease of revenue at all, but merely upon the theory that what they had already been paying under a cramped method would amount to the established rate of revenue by an Improved pervlcc. R. L. Cate, agent for the Ladd tract. undertakes to defend the action of the Board In laying maina tnrougb an alley way there upon the hypothesis that when the tract was dedicated it was stipulated that all water mains and sewer pipes be laid In the alleys wherever practicable, to the end that connections with houses might be more easily made. The answer to this argument exists in the fact that any other tract might make It a. condition precedent to dedication that the city chould furnish Its residents free water, .and the Water Board would have just as much right to obey the injunction. Mr. Cate admits that the 16 rcsidonts of tho Ladd tract were already usors of water by private mains from the Haw thorne-avenuc main, and 4hat the city was legally entitled to pay therefrom; consequently when tho main was run down Poplar street to the alleyway, and from there to Maple and thenco back to Hawthorne avenue, the city was -not en r'ched in any manner by tho operation, because it was done merely as an accom modation to the Ladds, for whlah the records show the Water Board paid J1&00 of public money for the privilege. Case of Variance. In direct variance with this evidence of frenzied finance, the case ' of IL H. Brown and two others stands out heboid relief. They made application for water on the same day as the agent for tho Ladd tract, the contemplated mala to run on East Fortieth Htreet BOO feet south from Hawthorne avenue, but were refused for tho alleged reason that the venturo would only pay J27 a year, or exactly S loss than the 6 per cent cl tho cost of construction, which the Board arbitrarily tlxes as Its rate of Interest. Agent Cate, of the Ladd tract, in his defense of the Water Board's action In violating Its own rules by running tho maliv through the eight-foot alley less tnan iw xeet on a parallel rrom uw Haw thorne-avenue main, intimates that fiome of tho 16 residents might take water for lrrrlgatlng their lawns during four months of the year, and thus Increase, the revenues to tho extent of $112 annually, but on tho other hand. Mr. Brown and others, who get no water at all except what they secure by tho Rebecca pro cess, might contend that the mere fact of the advent of mains in their neigh borhood "would prote suflioiently attrac tive In Itself to bring many nw residents there, and greatly add to the Income from that source. At the meeting of the Water Board on September 18, the following. petitions for mains were granted : On Mllwauklo ave nue, from Ijoo avenue to Lexington ave .me in thC'Scllwood district. WO feet of 6 Inch, East Couch. East Twenty-eighth to East Thirty-second, 1420 feet of C-inch; Wasco, " East ' Twenty-fourth to East Twenty-jelgtath. 1040 fct of 8-inch; East Twenty-fourtlt. Multnomah to Broadway. 332 fet S-lnch: Multnomah. East Twnnty Xourth to East' Twenty-tifth. 2G0 feet 6 lnch, Clackamas, -K&st Twenty-fourth to East Twenty-eighth. 1040 feet C-inch; Hal Fey. East Twenty-second to East Twonty elghth.,lDC0 feet 0-Inch; East Twenty-fifth. Multnomah to Wasco. SCO feet 6-inch; a total of 2360 feet of S-Inch piping and 5040 feet of 6-inch, or 7400 feet all told. At the same time these petitions for mains were denied: A. Wright and eight others for a main on East Madison street from East Thirty-sixth to East Thirty ninth; F. c. Goodwin and three othors, for main on East Ninth street, from Ma rion avenue to Ochoco street, in Soil wood; the Multnomah Real Estate Corn lany and 53 others for a main in ovcry other street 'in Willamette Addition (Al blna district); F. Klndorf and flvo others lor a main on Mllwauklo avenue, from 3-eo avenue to Hunter street and thence cast 700 feot; W. E. Williamson and four others for a main on East Morrison street from East Twenty-third to East Twenty sixth; O. L. Lohman and 16 others for a main on East Davis street, from East Twelfth to East Sixteenth street. August S. E. B. Foley and eight others, who live on Cleveland avenue, between Fremont and Beech streets, and who were "being supplied from a 1-lnch pipe, were granted an S-inch main at a cost of $f00, on their plea that thflr supply was lnsuf JlcIenL They were already paying a total or J10S a year, and there was no increase of revenue for the W0 expended. This is a sample of what has been going on right -along, and apparently the only remedy left for communities shut off from a Wter supply is by agitation until the Water Board is made to seo tho injustice of some of its nets. Unwritten Ijtnrs Broken. That the Water Board does not always observe Its "unwritten law" not to lay a main until the street is Improved, the frrade established, or the 6 per cent inter est theory is properly observed is shown by many of its official acts, too numer ous, in fact, to mention. Experienced engineers give It as tholr opinion that unless there are deep gorges, or the form ation of Yhe country Is otherwise broken. It is not entirely necessary for the grade to bo established or the street Improved before mains ore put down, on account of the high pressure from the reservoirs. Whenever the Water Board wants to deny some poor -citizen the right to get water. It can always find an easy means of doing so, and the record of Its proceed ings are full of instances where it has repeatedly violated its own rules. The beard' Is usually governed entirely by tho report br Superintendent Dodge, and he is seemingly Invested with autocratic power to say who shall and who shall not he favored 1 that respect. Tfe Member., of the board seldom, if ever, question his edicts, and rarely make any personal In vestlgatlons, because they arc all "business men. who are scrYing the city withuot salary, and It is not to be supposed that thjpy are going to work their heads off In the city's Interests under such circum stance?. The fate of all the application for water mains is therefore practically vsted In the hands of one man. and while he may be the mast honest and i4n corc person on earth, he Is Just as liable to err as anybody else, especially In such coses where he Is obliged to draw the linos so closely as to create r distinction without a difference. Mr. Dodge has sev eral favorite subterfuges to fall back on whenever he wants to deny n 'applica tion for. water. He says no. either because it will create a "dead-end." and the water become liable to stagnation on account of infrcquont usage, or he tells the board the street Is not improved or the revenue to be derived will not "pay 6 per cent in terest on the cost of construction, and whatever he says goes, because he is mcroly carrying out a few of the board's own rules that were apparently framed for no other purpose than to suppress the growth of tfie suburbs.
