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

fire proof buildings may be con
structed. 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."
May the companions and their
descendants ever remember t lie
above declaration of Holy Writ.

as well as sales of equipment and

structures are dotting the city's

The lumber business is the lar

and when it is good other lines
are correspondingly active,

new market trade has a big sig

fact that there is u fairly good

cerns report substantial increases
in service connections and a
marked gain in general sules.par
ticuhirly within the last two or
three weeks.
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.
