COUNCIL MEETS
Matters of Importance
Receive Attention
All members were present at
the regular meeting of the city
council Tuesday evening, with
Mayor Vincent presiding, as
usual.
The first matter to receive at
tention was a petition for the
improvement of Richmond street
from Willamette boulevard to
the river. This petition nirorded
considerable discussion. It call
cd for grading and standard
concrete paving. Councilman
Graden disproved of the pro
po3ed improvomcnt because it
was not carried on to Jersey
street. Miss Elizabeth Caples
made an earnest plea against the
improvement, claiming that it
would confiscate the property in
some instances and that the im
provement was not a necessary
one. Peter Aut7.cn stated that
the improvement was a neces
sary one, that the industries at
tho foot of street should bo en
titled to some consideration, that
at least ono important industry
had been lost to the city on ac
count of the non-improvement of
this street, that it was impossible
to pet out with n loaded vehicle
in the winter time, that the same
old objection was used last year.
and the chancca wero that the
samo objections would bo used
evory timo tho proposition was
submitted for tho next twenty
years. H. E. Penncll of tho St.
Johns Lumber Company, stated
that Mr. Aut7.cn several times
last winter had boon compelled
to borrow tho uso of teams from
tho company to pull trucks out
of tho mud holc3 in tho street
whero they had becomo lodged.
Alderman Munson said ho bo
Moved it would bo for hotter to
pay oxcbbs on tho improvement
rather than spend five or six
hundred evory year on repair.
Aldormnn DaviB believed there
was a strong probability that
tho improvement would be
remonstrated out, and believed
that provision should bo made to
avert this by carrying theim
provement only as far as Edison
street from tho city dock.
After a short recess nnd con
sultation with parties interested,
a resolution was adopted direct
ing tho engineer to prepare the
plans and specifications for the
improvement between Edison
street and tho dock. Tho en
gineer did not favor tho plan
very much, because tho rains in
tho winter would wash down
tho earth from tho unimproved
block above.
A communication from the
Board of Underwriters in regard
to reduction in insuranco rates
with better firo equipment stated
that if a chemical and hose truck
is installed with two paid fire
men and volunteer company the
rates would bo reduced fivo per
cent; if three paid firemen and
tho samo equipment are used,
u reduction of eight per cent
would he made, nnd if a triple
combination is installed it would
result in a reduction of ten per
cent
A request of the newly or
ganized firo department that
the city's contribution at the
rate of $1000 per year be con
tinued right along until tho now
apparatus is installed was grant
ed. Bills totalling $G4.35 were
allowed.
Upon recommendation of the
water and light committee, an
arc light was allowed at the
corner of Seneca and Newton
streets.
Councilman Graden called at
tention to an arc light that did
not seem to him to bo needed
near Pierce street between Wil
lamette boulevard and tho rail
road, but it was decided that the
light was a great boon for the
laborers at tho dry docks in win
ter, which H. W. Bonham, a
former Councilman, stated it
was placed for.
R. L. Roberts offered to supply
the city hall with good cord
wood at a price of $3.50 per
cord, and the matter was re
ferred to the buildings and
grounds committee with power
to set
The proposed improvement of
Charleston street by sidewalk
and thirty foot hard surface be
tween Hayes and Williamette
boulevard was taken up and dis
cussed at some length. P, H.
.Edlefsen stated that tho im
provement was necessary, that
the sidewalks would soon have
to be renewed, anyway, and it
Will Have a Booth
St. Johns will have n booth at
tho Hose Carnival on South
Sixth street, Portland, under
tho auspices of tho Commercial
club. It will bo decorated with
roses in competition with n num
ber of other localities. Special
cirorta arc being made to moke
it as attractive as possible.
President Bonham of the Com
mercial club has appointed tho
followimr committees to look
after procuring llowcrs and mak
ing the booth n credit to ht.

Buery nnd Ed. Monahan.

director of exhibits.
would be better to make tho im
provement complete at one time.
Mr. Tallmnn said ho believed the
improvement was uncalled for
at this time. As the petition
was signed by fully fifty per
cent of tho property owners, a
resolution directing tho city
engineer to prepare tho neces
sary data for such improvement
was adopted.
D. C. Lewis said some of tho
property owners along Wil
lamette boulovard wero desirous
of having the sidewalk to be
laid between Richmond street
and tho North Bank cut made a
littlo darker in color than are
sonic sidewnlks in St. Johns.
No objection was oirercd to the
suggestion, and it will likely be
adopted.
An ordinance providing tho
time and manner of improving
Willamette bqulovnrd. botwoen
Richmond and Burlington streets
wns passed.
R. D. Powell asked that tho
dog muzzling ordinnnco be
nmended so that it might bo put
in force at once, as such a step
had been adopted in Portland.
Alderman Graden nlso favored
such a move, but it was pointed
out that tho ordinance would bo
come effective tho fifteenth of
June, and it would scarcely be
worth whilo to make tho amend
mcnt in view of that fact. Miv
Powell complained of the habit
a certain dog in his neighbor
hood had of rushing out and bit
ing or scaring the residents
there, also of the continuous
barking of other dogs in what
should be tho still, quiet hours
of tho night. Ho was advised
to lodge a complaint against the
dog owner in the municipal
court. Councilman Garlick said
ho thought it might bo a good
plan to adopt the method em
ployed in on eastern city where
a few hours after the muzzling
ordinnnco went into effect all
dogs found unmuzzled wero shot
by tho police officers. Council
man Waldref remarked that it
might be a good plan if dogs
wero abolished altogether from
tho city limits.
Alderman Graden said he
would bo glad to second a motion
requesting tho city attorney to
draft an ordinance making it a
misdemeanor for contractors to
work their men and teams on
city work on Sundays without a
special permit from the city
council. Mr. Graden contended
that street work on Sunday had a
tendency to keep tho better class
of residents from locating here.
No one, nowever, seemed dis
posed to make tho motion, and
it was held over one week .for
further consideration.
Councilman Munson made the
laudable suggestion that a foun
tain be installed somewhere
near tho ferry landing for the
benefit of tho traveling public.
The suggestion seemed to appeal
to the members of tho council,
but no definite action was taken.
C. J. Anderson complained
that ho was being charged fifteen
cents more for water than be
fore tho commission-established
rates went into effect; also that
he had' applied to the water com
pany to install a meter, and the
company had refused to do so.
He plead with the council to take
some action toward acquiring a
municipal water plant. After
some discussion the city attor
ney was directed to prepare an
ordinance compelling the water
company to comply with the
regulations established by the
Railway Commission.

Good Times Ahead
The wave of confidence, based
on tho prospect of bumper crops
nnd a belief that unsettling in
fluences are disappearing, con
tinues to make itself evident in
all parts of the United States.
Tho following cheerful state
ments were mnde recently in
resjxmse to a request from The
New York Sun for an opinion of
business nrosnects from various'
parts of the country which bear
assurances ol a stimulated trade
activity and a belief in a rapidly
returning period of prosperity.
Louisville. Ivy.. May 10. John
B. Pittle. vice president of tho
Louisville Trust Company and in
close touch with local conditions,
sees a splendid outlook for busi
ness conditions. Ho said today:
. "Fundamentally business con
ditions arc sound und the pros
pects of a wheat crop give every
reason for encouragement. From
present indications it appears
that the new banking law will
work smoothly and give general
satisfaction. Tho effect of tho
tariff had been generally dis
counted, and has had no mnrked
depressing result as yet. If the
railroads get fair treatment nnd
there is a cessation of political
attacks on trusts, business will
revive with increasing confidence
In tho future, and wo will have
a real, continuous, healthy ex
pansion." Columbus, Ohio, May 10.
Business men of this city are
generally opimistic in their
outlook. A characteristic state
ment is that made by J. S. Rals
ton, president of tho Ralston
Slcel Car Company, who says:
"I bollovo that general busi
ness conditions are on a sound
basis. With tho prospects for
good crops that aro now half
mnde we aro certainly in for a
period of prosperity if business
conditions aro not interfered
with by vicious legislation. The
situation looks to mo as if tho
demagogue and muckraking pub
lications which have dono so
much to bring on business dis
tress were about eliminated, and
that is all wo need for a long
period of continued prosperity."
IrvingT. Bush, president Bush
Terminal Company said:
"There is nothing more
difficult to chnngo than habit.
Recently many of tho people of
this country havo acquired the
habit of despondency. They
look for t roil bio nnd hope for
tho worst. Tho habit has been
growing since tho panic of 11)07,
and has required tho help of
many a hard knock, for the
American is naturally an opti
mist. Tho country needs its
financial liver shaken up, so we
can get rid of tho black spots
boforo our eye&-and see things
in their right proportions. Some
ono thing is going to happen
soon to wako us up to the fact
that things aro ready for another
cycle of national prosperity if
wo will only see them as thov
are. The tariff changes are
over, tho currency law has been
enacted, tho President has select
ed able men for the Federal
Reserve Board, the railroad rate
increase is almost settled, and
crop conditions point to record
yields. Even war with Mexico
though terrible from the stand
point of human life will bring
certainty out of uncertainty and
arouse the people from a con
templation of their troubles to
action."
San Francisco, May 10. F. S.
Lipman. vice president of the
Wells Fargo Nevada National
Bank, said:
"The liquidation now going
on all over tho country must bo
completed before we can expect
prosperous times. The boun
teous crops now in prospect
should accelerate tho process,
and indeed may bring about good
times unless offset by adverse
governmental action having the
eifect of oppressing business
and enterprise. The crops pro
vide the fund upon which our
prosperity is finally based, but
we must at our peril solve aright
the main problems of the relation
Df government to industry. Un
til this is done uncertainty will
pre'vail, tending to delay the re
turn to prosperity."
Portland, Ore.. May 10. A. S.
Mills, president of the First
National Bank, said: "With
the Federal reserve banks in
successful operation, with big
crops this year, as now seems
most probable, and with tho
granting of the railroads' re
quest for a 5 per- cent, increase
in rates this fall, there should
be a very material improvement
in business conditions through
out the United States."
