ST. JOHNS HARDWARE CO. ,j I I DR. W. J. G1LSTRAP I'liy&lotmt ttml Surgutm Drugs Furnished Glasses Accurately and Scientifically Finished ST. JOHNS, ORHGON I A Rousing Meeting For Just a Promise A rousing Anti-Merger meet ing was held in the North School building Inst evening, nt which G. C. Currin presided. H.W. Bonhum gave a few sensible, practical and pertinent reasons why ho was against merging with Portland: Mr. Peterson of Lents told of conditions there, and how they had been treated in a most shabby manner; that they had - secured only one arc light since annexing, that only one policeman was on duly nt one time; that the volunteer fire department wero allowed fifteen dollars per month, had 500 feet of old cotton hose, and with the utmost difficulty secured enough chemical compound for use at fires. Ho told how diffi cult it was to get audience with the Portland authorities, and more difficult still ,to get any thing after audience had been secured. He said that Mayor Albee had remarked time and again that he did not see why the outlying districts should de sire to consolidate with Port land, that they could better look aft(r their own interest and that if ho lived in one of the outlying districts that he should certainly work against annexation. Judge J. E. Williams made some telling points right from the shoulder, and in nowjse minced his words. He supplemented his remarks with undisputable "facts. Mr. Balke of Portsmouth told of the great difficulty in getting anything from Portland authorities, and urged in the strongest and most persuasive terms that St. Johns stay out of Portland; that there was ab solutely nothing to gain by merging, and very much to lose. O. V. Zimmerman, the silver tongued orator of St. Johns, made the concluding remarks, which were greeted with fre quent laughter and cheering. His happy style of delivery, his bright witticisms and the point ed stories he told were highly entertaining. We regret very much that the brevity of space and the nearness of the hour of 1 At the Merger Club it was stat ed that St. Johns had no hard surfaced streets. One Mergorite claimed wo had no hard surfaced sidewalks, and that no more housos had been built than had burned down. During 1911, six ty permits were issued nt an average of almost $1000 each. There were 13 fires totaling al most $1000 per fire. These loss es were from $5 up to $G000, the latter being the Woolen Mill fire early in the year. Through merging our water rates may be less, but there are various licenses and permits to bo taken out that will offset somewhat what we save and altho these permits are not very ex pensive, they entnil a lot of trouble in procuring. Building permits 10 cents per 100 square feet.or no permit less than $1.00. License for milk wagon $2.60 per year; milk can or cart, $1.50 per year; Store selling milk $1.00; delivering by hand $1.50; license for signs projecting over side walk; tapping of water main $2.00; permits required for re wiring, changing sinks, putting in electric fixtures and work re quired done' by licensed work men. Insurance rates at Lents were cut down i of 1 per cent. Lentsj firemen allowed $15 per month spending money which generally was more than taken in keeping up repairs. No new street lights were installed at Lents. They had a sufficient number before going into Portland. What we would gain would be very little. What Portland would gain would be property worth millions. We are asked to exchange all we are worth as a city for a promise1 just a promise of a little saving in water rates. J. A. H. going to press precludes us from going into his remarks with more detail. The meeting throughout was a splendid success. J. E. Tanch, City Treasurer. candidate for adv. SAN-TOX.

From Portland's official news paper, the Daily Abstract: Parents of the Portsmouth school are protesting to Mayor Albee against the recent order from City Health Officer Marcellus to the effect that all pupils in the school in that district must be vaccinated who have been ex posed to the small pox before they can return to school. A number of cases of smallpox have developed in that locality and scores of the pupils have been exposed.

In order to correct an erron eous impression launched by the mergerltos. upon thorough in-1 vosigation wo find that only one single arc light has been placed in Lents since that place was an nexed to Portland, and it has one day police and one night police man. Portland pays the volun teer fire department there fifteen dollars per month with which to pay rent and other expenses. Tho Portland city charter com pels all property available to sewers to connect with same, and does not allow cess pools to je constructed where it is at all possible to connect with a sew er. This would mean that tnere are hundreds of citizens in St. Johns would have to connect with the sewer system after merging. And it will have to be done under the plumbing reg ulations of Portland.

A lady who has resided in ortland for 13 years, but who now resides inSt. Johns.told us this week of tho grievous trouble she experienced in deal ing with tho Portland inspectors the construction of a small dwelling near the Peninsula mills. All her plans had to be altered from what sho wanted them to be, nnd a solid founda tion was required where she had expected to place blocks under samo. Finally, after tho founda tion was completed of cement nnd concrete blocks, she found that io workmen had left outseveral r the blocks which had been stolen during the night and filled in with concrete. As her in structions wore that if ono thing was changed from the specifica tions in tho permit that all would havo to bo torn out and replaced, sho becamo disgusted, returned part of tho lumber back to tho company nnd tho bnlnnce was brought to St. Johns whero sho could build to suit herself, and sho abandoned tho idea of build ing in Portland. She said the only reason she registered was to vote agianst merger, having all she wanted of the strict re gulations of Portland. Parent-Teacher Notes The assembly hall of tho Central school was well filled with the members of tho Parent Teacher Association and their friends last evening to listen to an illustrated lecture by Miss Alice Joyce of the Woodlawn school who studied gardening in Germany last year. Miss Joyce has a charming personality and spoko most entertainingly of her work in Germany whero she studied methods of home gardening.
