REVIEW -I II 1 1 I XI VOLUME 18 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1922. NUMBER 22 St. Johns Community Club Hotter Ntreots was the loading subject taken up at the regular meeting ot the St. Johns Com munity Club which was held in the Y. AV. V. A. building Tuesday evening. The repair of Rich mond street from Jersey to WiU lametto boulevard, which is in n most deplorable condition, ami the redressing of Jersey from IJaltimore to Catlin was discuss ed by President Mouahan, A. W. Davis, A. J. Freum, 1). II. Know les.Kd. Moiiitliun and A. 13. Jones. Air. Davis made the suggestion that since the city assumed a porjion of the cost of redressing Jersey street from Baltimore to Richmond, that it could scarcely do less in redressing the street from Raltimore to Catlin. Mr. Jones made the suggestion that the dock commission would prob ably be willing to absorb a por tion of the cost also, as it would beiiellt so greatly by reason of a first class street leading to the Terminal. It was iltmlly decided that the secretary should take up the matter with the city and the county commissioners and the dock commission. Mrs. Mont gomery called attention to the poor condition of the cross walk at the intersection of Kellogg and New York streets, and the secretary was instructed to bring this matter also to the attentiop of the city authorities. Mr. C. X. Drailsch told of desirability of improving Burlington street from Jersey to Central avenue and President Monahait suggest ed that he circulate a petition for its improvement, which Mr. Hraasch agreed to do. Deaue II. Kuowles imparted the informa tion that the contract for the improvement of .Seneca street had been let and that const ruc tion would begin in about two weeks. J. I. Misner called atten tion to the desirability of having the old gravel pit at Bristol street tilled in, and the secretary was instructed to communicate with Commissioner Barhur in re gard to the matter. C. H. Russell, chairman of the building committee, reported that progress would be rather slow under present conditions to ward the nc(iiiranee of, a commu nity building, and that more, time would be needed to submit a definite report. Attorney J. (). Hailey gave a re port concerning the naming of the new high school, and said the probabilities were that it would lie called Roosevelt. The matter of the building of small frame buildings on Jersey street was discussed and it was decided that it be taken up witli the city commissioners with the end in view that a fire ordinance lie enacted whereby a limit bo es tablished within which none but GENERAL Peninsula D.

Mr. Monahan stated that Commissioner Rarbur had suggested a set back limit for residences should be established whereby dwellings built in the future be erected at least fifteen feet back from the property line. Mr. Monahan said the suggestion was made to him that the Club meet once a mouth instead of twice, but no one seemed dispos oil to express themselves in favor of such change. An invitation extended on be half of the M 15. church by Mrs. Clark for the Club to meet at the church in two weeks and where a dinner at fiOo per plotc would bo served, was accepted. Mrs. Montgomery expressed her deep appreciation of flowers sent to her by the Club during her re cent illness. The meeting then ad journed to meet at the Methodist church on Tuesday evening, Apr, 18th. An Interesting Occasion Last Thursday evening Ponin sula Chapter Royal Arch Masons held a very interesting and enter taining communication. A team of throe, composed of L. A. Rou gher, John T. Fox and M. R. .Morrow, were exalted to the au gust degree of the ltoyal Arch, At the conclusion of the cercmo lift S. I;. Dobie and other com panions served refreshments in the dining room. Several com panions were in attendance from Kunnysidc Chapter. High Priest John Webster was master of cer emonies in all the term implies. Past High Priest W. A. Carroll and others made a few timely re marks. Companion Carroll has spent an even half century in ac tive work in all the York Rite Masonic bodies. He is past emi nent commander, past high priest and past master, and has done more, perhaps, than any one member in the organization and perfection of Peninsula Chap tor. The Chapter is in a flourish ing condition ;the ofllcers are pro fleieiit,and the attendance is very i tisfnetory. The members are 1 1 !e - obligations to many ii'himV without as well as within l.,o.l d-iors for many favors, The Scriptures declare, "Heboid how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in unity."

Public utilities corporations report correspond ing gratifying service additions, as well as sales of equipment and appliances. Hctoil business is better than a year ago. So many new homes, apartments and other structures are dotting the city's (50 square miles of territory that the bureau of water works has installed 7124 connections the first three months of this year as against HIO for the same period in liJUl. An outstanding of vast magnitude and tremendous im portance with relation to the general improved tone or busi uess here is the increase in linn her shipments to Japan and to the Atlantic seaboard. A conser vative estimate made by one of the largest mill managers in the northwest, places this volume at 700,000,000,000 feet for 1 Is idore than euotigh, he said, to off set the slump in middle western territory caused by what opera tors contend is an unfair tariff in favor of competitors elsewhere The lumber business is the lar gest industry in the northwest, and when it is good other lines are correspondingly active, lichee it will be seen that this new market trade has a big sig nificance in its relation to the lo cal situation. Add to this the fact that there is u fairly good condition existing as to the more immediate domestic demand. caused in part by exceptionally ive huihling operations, and it is easy to understand why there is a better feeling in this respect. Iiiimocr exports for the first quarter of 1022 were valued at $2,1 88,1 fill and total exports from this port, including wheat and Hour, for that period aggregated $10,078,02:1, as against $!),l!l!).72."( for the same quarter of 1!)21.Tius hhows a substantial gain, despite the fact that many ports are showing losses these times, and proves that Portland s shipping is healthy and prosperous. iMisiness in Portland is stcadi y on the upgrade and people are spending lots of money, not only for new homes and commercial buildings, but on modern appur tenances such as gas and electri cal equipment features they were not so heavily installing some' months ago."

The housing situation of the city makes necessary a large number of new homes and apart ments and expanding business requires additional structures. With these go hand in hand the equipment, which starts a long line of activity and a continual flow of money in the channels of trade. The reflection in this construction work is seen every where and merchants and trades men enjoy its benefits. Portland's banner building year was 1010, when the figures ran up to $l),Si)li,0U0. A. U. lohnson, assistant commissioner of public works, says there ts ev ery reason to believe that 1022 would reach $.'10,000,000. "There is," said II. K. Plum mer, chief of the bureau of build ings, "a volume of work passing through our ofllce that is highly gratifying. Along with the tre mendous activity in construction proper, goes u corespondingly large line of service installa tions, plumbing, elect ical connec tions, etc., making a large aggre gate of business in addition to the sums in permit figures.'.' On aeoiint of conditions over which the city administration has no control, the department of public works had to "cut its gar ment according to the cloth" this year and as a result the improve ment program will include con tracts up to a total of $1,500,000. It would have run to $1,000,000 had there been sufficient funds at hand for adequate inspection. A. li. Marbur, commissioner, points out that this feature indicates the feeling of property owners who Hied petitions for betterments and proves their willingness to have this expense levied upon them, showing that there is mon ey for such extensions and that the people are in a more optimis tic frame of mind. A year or two ago there were scarcely any requests of this kind being taken to the city hall. Oregouiau. Four hundred thousand big Hiked potatoes, weighing on the average .of two pounds each.have been served on Northern Pacific dining ears duringwthu last nine months, according to i. K.

There is no good reason why every business concent in St. Johns should not be represented in the advertising columns of the Review. Do not let the niblie forget you arc in business and appreciate the public patronage. How can the noiHidvortisiug bus iness man expect the people? to do their buying at his Htoro when he does not advertise and other merchants do! If you waul trade, do something toward get ting it.
