10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY. APRIL 3, 1901. TO IMPROVE STREETS (CITY - EXGDTEER CHASE'S LETTER TO COMMON COUNCIL. He Discusses the anestlon in Great Detail, and Make 3Iany Very Important Susreeattona. City Engineer Chase has prepared an elaborate communication to the Common Council an the subject of street Improve mentsJindirtreet repairing He discusses the matter In great detail, and gives much useful Information. The communication will probably be read at the Council today- It -was glveri some discussion at he meeting of the Board of Public Works yesterday, but no action -was taken upon it. if indeed It calls for any action other than a thorough reading. The communi cation follows: Mr. Cliase Letter. Portland. April 2,-To the Honorable Jtfavor and Common Council. City of yo" land-Gentlemenl By an ct of the Legis lature, at its last session, provision waa snade for a small fund for the repair of etreets in the City of. Portland Our people are probably expecting great er results -from the expenditure of the fund than can possibly Te realized, but everv effort trill be made to do the most good -with any money entrusted to the street department. It will require the exercise qf the great est discretion on the part of the city au thorities to determine the difference be tween an Improvement and a repair. Some of our older streets are worn -down four or more inches over the entire surface. These should be deemed improvements, und be paid for by the abutting prop erty. . . When streets are In general up to grade cr only slightly worn in the center, but with ruts and holes, or where streets have been recently Improved, but worn out ?Dy some congestion of travel, the work of repairing might be deemed a repair, and be paid for out of the repair fund. It may occur that where the street is the thoroughfare for the product of a manufacturing establishment manifestly too heavy for the cheaper class of im provements, that the city might justly as sist the property-owners to pay lor a bet . ctT-oPt hut the exercise of such gener osity, If Indulged In often, -would become a dangerous habit, likely to dissipate the repair fund more rapidly than is expe dient. . , . I vould suggest that for purposes of systematic repair, gravel and macadam streets be divided into three classes, ac cording to the amount of repairing need ed. Class A. Where a street Is needing re pairs over Its entire surface. Repairs of this kind to be made by ordinance and contract in th usual way. Class B. Where the .general surface is but little, if any, below grade, but with numerous holes'and Tuts that need filling. "Repairs for this class to be made by pur chasing material of the lowest bidder, to be delivered by the dealer on the ground, in piles at places designated on each block. The rock to be spread or placed in the holes by laborers employed by the Engineer's department. Class C Streets requiring but small re pairs, only here and there a bushel of rock, or work on the crosswalk. The re pairs contemplated in this class can beet be done by use of a wagon loaded with rock, the load to be hauled to the place needing repairs and the amount required unloaded and placed. For repairing streets under Classes B and C, the Engineer's department will re quire an appropriation for the employ ment of men and "for the purchase of ma terial. For work under Classes A and B, no additional horse-power Is required, but for work under Class C, the department should be provided with a heavy team and wagon for the district lying east of the Willamette River, and one for that lying west of the river. These teams would be kept going constantly in making minor repairs. At the present time, the street depart ment is short of team power, not having enough to move one of the rollers. We have one light team for the sewer repair wagon and incidentally for other purposes, and one horse and light wagon lor the East Side repairs. The light one horse wagon referred to is now practical ly worn out, and will have to be replaced en the return of dry weather. ROLLERS. According to Ordinance No. 3283, the city undertakes to furnish rollers to the con tractors for the construction of streets. We have at this time two light horse roll ers, and one old steam roller out of re pair and out of commission. These are not sufficient to do the work properly or promptly. Contractors have to haul the rollers Tack and forth several times on each Job, and as the Improvements are often in re mote parts of the city and distant from each other, there is great cost and delay, lor which ultimately the property-owners must pay. Under these conditions "we cannot roll the work as much as it ought to be. The Jack of rollers covers a mul titude of sins on the part of the con tractors, who find In it an excuse for de lays and insufficient rolling, and yet It is manifestly unfair to delay acceptances of work or impose fines for non-completion when the city falls to furnish roll ers, which It Is supposed to do under the ordinance. Either a greater number of rollers, and better ones, should be fur nished or the city require contractors to provide their own, just as they do wagons or scrapers. STEAM ROLLERS. For the better construction of gravel and macadam streets, I have to report that a steam roller is very desirable. Portland te one of the few cities In the "United States which continues to build gravel and macadam streets without the use of steam rollers. Some cities but lit tle larger than Portland have two or three of them. Indeed, a full equipment re Quires a light steam roller, of about seven tons weight, for rolling sub-grades, and heavy ones for finishing. Horse rollers will answer for sub-grades, and, perhaps, first-course rolling, but gravel and mac adam streets should be finished with a steam roller of at least 10 tons weight. I would suggest that as soon as financial conditions will admit a steam roller be ptirchased. In the operation of a steam roller it is customary for the city to employ the en gineer and pay all expenses of the opera tion of the roller, and charge the con tractor a sum per day or a price per square yard. I do not think rolling with a steam machine costs property-owners any more than rolling with horses, while the results are much better. COST OF OPERATING STEAM ROLL ERS. In a report from Grand Rapids, Mich., for 1899, I find that during the year three steam rollers worked 454 days. The cost was: Coal ? 6S2 70 Supplies 99 20 Roller engineer and watchman 1336 03 Total .. $2057 93 The Engineer states that two of the rollers had new flues and axles, at a cost of $775, but repairs of this character would only be made once in several years, and I have not included it in the above items of 'COSt. COST OF ROLLERS. A steam roller suitable for our work f. o. b. cars in Portland costs from $3300 to $3500. Say approximately $3500 00 Supply wagon for roller 50 00 Total $3550 00 Horse rollers can be built here for, ap proximately, each, $800. I trust your honorable body will serious ly consider the matter of a better equip ment, and whether the city wishes to fur nish rollers at all or not. - Since many of our streets need minor repairs, I would suggest to your honorable body to authorize the department to pur chase 250 cubic yards of gravel for the east side of the river, and 250 cubic yards of crushed rock for the west side of the river, the material to be advertised for and to be according to specifications, and delivered where and when requlreh by the Engineer's department. This amount of material would enable the department to repair several of the streets under Class C with the men and equipment iow available. Any extensive work, however, will require more men and more material. There will need to be also an appropria tion for more lumber, if extensive street repairs are to be undertaken. As a sort of rule, I would suggest that all the streets built In the last five years be put In condition first and others be re paired as rapidly as possible. Tours very respectfully, WILLIAM B. CHASE, City Engineer. TRYING TO GET THE SPUR. The MontavIIIa Sab-Board of Trnde Wrestling with the O. R. fc N. Dr. William. Deveny, secretary of the MontavIIIa Sub-Board of Trade, said yesterday that he considered the pros pects fair for that district getting a spur M0NTAV4lLA BASE. I-INE R.OAD PROPOSED RAILWAY from the main line of the O. R. & N. built at or near the intersection of the Barr and county roads, northeast of MontavIIIa. Built at this point the switch will be accessible from the county road extending southward to the Base Line road, and also to the Barr road, which extends east and west through an ex tensive district. The census shows that the school district has a population of 1250, but It Is figured that surrounding the point where the switch Is desired there are fully 2000 people. Secretary De veny has been corresponding with the railway officials and is quite confident the Sub-Board of Trade will be able to show that It will pay the company to build the spur. Large quantities of feed, lum "bfer and produce are required at Monta vIIIa and in the large and well-settled district surrounding. It was hoped that some of the large property-owners im mediately adjoining the O. R. & N. would donate an acre of ground where the switch Is wanted for possible depot pur poses, but so far no one has done so. It may be that this will yet be done. The committee having the matter in hand will make a report at the next meeting of the Sub-Board of Trade. Working: Up Oregon Oak. A plant for making pick, hammer and other handles out of Oregon oak has been established in a brick building on the East Side, which has become a con siderable concern. The small growth of Oregon oak is used exclusively and large quantities are worked up. It is cut in four-fot lengths, the same as cordwood. A wood-sawing machine cuts off the ragged ends, leaving the Btlcks the length of a pick or ax handle. These sticks are then sawed up Into pieces of the proper sizes, the smaller ones being used for hammer handles and the larger for picks and axes. Nothing is wasted. The end pieces are used for fuel, and the smaller ones work up Into small handles. The timber used Is from five to six Inches In diameter. Electric power 1"? used. It seems to be an important industry along this line. Bishop Esher Cannot Come. The Oregon conference of the Evangel ical Association will meet at the First Evangelical Church, corner East Sixth and East Market streets the 25th of the present month. It had been expected that Bishop J. J. Esher, the seniOT bishop of the association, would preside, but Rev. G. W. Plumer, pastor, received Informa tion yesterday that he was very 111, and had gone to a sanitarium In Cleveland, O., for treatment. He Is quite aged, and, taking Into consideration his falling health, Mr. Plumer said he had no hope that he could preside. He thinks It prob able that Bishop Breyfogel will be sent to Oregon to conduct the conference. East Side Notes. A chimney fire occured In the cottage of Mrs. Lizzie Neldgh, 717 "Vancouver ave nue, last night, and an alarm was turned in from box 326. No damage resulted. The little daughter of Rev. Jerome Mc Glade, pastor of MIzpah Presbyterian Church, was taken dangerously ill last week, and on account of her sickness services at this church were dispensed with Sunday night. Yesterday the child was considered greatly improved. Word was received yesterday from J. M. RoblnBon, who Is at Wind River, taking the baths, that he is slightly Improved. When he first was taken there he had to be carried to the baths, but is now able to help himself. His relatives and friends are very hopeful that he will recover. Within a few days it is expected that a petition for the Improvement of Grand avenue with wood blocks from East Mor rison to East Burnside streets will be cir culated. This would be through the busl nes district, and then north and south of these two points J. different kind of Improvement may be made. The business men along the avenue will be greatly re jolced to hear ofrany movement to better present conditions. Dr. Wise, room C14. The Dekum. Dr. San ford's Liver Invigrorator.

COLUMBIASOUTHERNDEAL NO HITCH IN THE IiYTLE-O'REILLY NEGOTIATIONS. "W. H. Moore, One of the New Owners, Sara There Will Be No Exten sion This Year. Satisfactory progress Is being made with the negotiations to end litigation be tween E. E. Lytle and Drake C. O'Reilly, the promoters of the Columbia Southern Railroad. It was hoped yesterday to dis miss all pending cases in the United States and State Courts, but some minor details could not be closed up in time. Walter H. Moore, the Moro banker, who with E. E. Lytle takes up the entire issue of stock of the road, was In Portland yes terday. He sa,ld people living along the line of the Columbia Southern are glad that the litigation has been settled. In answer to a request for a statement, Mr. Moore said: "The deal by which Mr. Lytle and myself take up the stock of the Columbia Southern has been closed. There probably will be.no extension of the road from Shaniko this year." SOUTHERN PACIFIC ELECTION. , Annnal Meeting; of the Stockholders in New Yorlc Today. Four or five changes are expected to be made in the board of directors of the Southern Pacific at the annual meeting of the stockholders in New York today. All the new men will be named by the Harrlman syndicate. Private advices from New York are that George J. Gould SPUR AT MONTAVILLA. will be one of the new members. His election will enable the Missouri Pacific and affiliated lines to get better terms on through traffic to the Pacific Coast. On the north the Missouri Pacific's business will go over the Denver & Rio Grande to Ogden, thence over the Central Pacific to San Francisco. On the South traffic will go over the Texas & Pacific to El Paso', thence over the Southern Pacific to Cali fornia and Oregon points. RIO GRANDE CONSOLIDATION. Ninety Per Cent of the Common Stock of the R. G. W. Sold. NEW YORK, April 2. Spencer, Trask & Co., bankers, have Issued a circular stating that, acting In behalf of the hold ers of more than 90 per cent of the com mon stock of the Rio Grande Western Railroad, they have negotiated with rep resentatives of the .Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company the sale of such com mon stock, together with allied securities and properties. They offer to include In their sale such common stock as may be deposited with them on or before April 30, the price allotted to the common stock by the venders being 80 per cent net, with 4 per cent interest from January 1, such amount being reached after deduct ing a commission of $5 per share. The preferred stockholders are to be offered the right to exchange 10 shares of Rio Grande Western preferred for 11 shares I of Denver & Rio Grande preferred, the sale being subject to ratification by the stockholders of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Company. Annual Report of Panama Rond. NEW YORK, April 2. The 51st annual report of the Panama Railroad, just is sued, reports net earnings for the year 1900 at $446,764, an Increase of $151,632. The total operating expenses of railroad and steamship lines were $1,727,403, an Increase of $385,020. The gross earnings were $2,655,794, an Increase of $460,152. Of the severence of relations between the Pan ama Railroad and the Pacific Mall Steam ship Company, the report says: "The great changes which had come about in the traffic world had convinced the directors that the time had arrived to Inaugurate the 'open-door policy' for the Panama route, and we therefore de clined to confer upon any one steamship line exclusive privileges over the Panama route. We accordingly negotiated and re cently have executed satisfactory traffic agreements with several important steam ship lines on the Pacific, and also have renewed the long-standing contracts with the seven Atlantic lines now serving the Panama route. The eanre privilege upon equal terms was offered by us to the Pa cific Mall Steamship C6mpany, but that company expressed its unwillingness to contract other than upon an exclusive basis." The report also says that the growth of traffic will require additions to the steam ship service, both on the Atlantic and Pa cific sides. Great Northern Orange Shipments. SEATTLE, April 2. The experimental shipment of oranges from, Los Angeles to St Paul via Seattle last week proved such a marked success In point of time and condition that the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and the Great Northern Railroad are said to be already figuring on handling the oranges on a more extended scale, with a special line of steamers running direct from Los An geles to Seattle. As the steamers could land the oranges in greater quantity than any one railroad could handle across the continent, It Is even said that the North ern Pacific Is to be enlisted In the service in order that the fruit can be started across the continent within a few hours after reaching Seattle. Rio Grande Stockholders to Decide. NEW YORK, April 2. A special meet ing of the stockholders of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad has been called for J May 15, in Denver, to vote first on the purcnase or tne mo uranae western ay acquiring the common and preferred stocks of that company; second, upon can celing the Denver & Rio Grande stock now in the treasury, mainly $4,350,CKXhpre ferred, and $7,500,000 common, and, there- upon Inoreaslng the preferred stock from o . 6 $23,650,000 to $44,400,000, to acquire -the Rio Grande Western; third, on assenting to the issue for future capital requirements of ,$6,900,000 consolidated mortgage bonds; fourth, to decide whether the directors may, by a two-thirds vote of their entire number, have the power to revoke or amend by-laws. The transfer books will close April 15, and reopen MayJL6. Sub ject to the authorization of the increase proposed, $12,500,000 of the new preferred stock will be offered to the company's stockholders at 90. Holders of common or preferred stock of record April 15 may subscribe for the new preferred stock at 90, to the extent of one share of the new preferred for- every five shares, common or preferred, of their present holdings. Railroad Officials Visit Portland. Stuyvesant Fish, president of the Illi nois Central Railroad, and J. Henry Smith, a director of the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul, and the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy, arrived from New York yesterday. They came in private cars, and registered at the Hotel Portland for lunch. In the afternoon they took a drive about the city, and left at 6 P. M. for the East, via Spokane. Mr. Smith declined to discuss the railroad situation. He said he had been away from home for three weeks, and knew nothing about the proposed consolidation of the Burlington system with the Great Northern and Northern Pacific.
