The Improvements made about the city
during the last year are briefly but com

Note. During the year 1894, in addition to
the levy stated, there was a levy of $1.20 on
each $1000. which was turned over to the
Bridge Commission for cost of maintaining
tree bridges. During the year 1003 there was
la addition to the levy stated a levy of $1.50
on each $1000 providing a special fund for the
construction of a flreboat, and of the $0.50
per $1000, 20c was levied for the Free Li
brary, and -was turned over to the library com
mittee by the City Treasurer, and under the
present law is not accounted for In the Au
ditor's report of the clty'a finances.
Executive Hoard.
The Executive Board consists of TV. L. Boise,
Rodney L. GUsan, Charles F. Beebe, Slg
felcheL El D. Curtis, H. C. Wortxnan, H. W.
Goddard, William Flledncr, George H. Howell
and Joseph Weber. This board has Jurisdic
tion over all purchases of supplies and ma
terials used by the city, all claims of con
tractors for public work, and all pay-rolls
and claims of officers and persons in the em
ploy of the city, and many other details of
administration. The members of this board
have given a great deal of their time and
labor to the consideration of public matters,
without compensation, and have been active,
faithful and careful la the performance of
their official duties.
Full-Paid Fire Department.
With a change to a full-paid department the
number of men will be increased from 140 to
155, by additional companies, and the number
of horrcs from C3 to 70. The salaries for a
lull-paid department, as estimated for 1004,
would be $130,400. The estimated amount of
operating expenses for 1004 with such a de
partment would be $21,420. Assuming that a
full-paid department was to go into operation
the 1st day of January, including the expenses
of a flreboat, the total amount, as estimated.
Is $102,820: bat the full paid department can
not be organited at the beginning of the year,
nor can the new companies be organized at
that time, and the flreboat will probably not
go Into commission until April or May, and It
Is believed that $150,000 will cover the entire
expenses of a full-paid fire department for the
year 1004.
There are several ways In which money can
be saved to the department by substituting
a full-paid department for the call system.
In that the expense of a vacation of firemen.
as provided in the charter, amounting to $3500
per annum can be saved; and then many of
the firemen who are mechanics can be em
ployed In the work of repairing bouses, en
gines and machinery, and la that way save
expense to the department. My opinion Is
that the finances of the city can stand a
necessary Increase for changing the call sys
tem Into a full-paid department, unless some
thing unexpected happens to reduce Its antic!
pated Income.
Pursuant to an act "of the Legislature ap
proved January 26, 1002, a special tax. amount
ing to $60,000, was levied and collected tor
the purchase or construction of a flreboat. A
contract has been made with the Willamette
Iron Works for the construction of such a boat.
The boat will be equipped with the best pumps
and machinery that the country can afford, and
all Indications are that we will have a first'
class flreboat. It Is believed that ths boat
will be ready for use by the first of next
April. The cost of the boat completed will ap
proximate $00,000. To operate the flreboat It
Is thought to be necessary that there should
be one captain, one lieutenant, one engineer.
one assistant engineer, two pilots, two fire
men and three plpemen, the aggregate amount
of the salaries of whom would be $5300 per
nnTMT"', The estimated cost of operating the
flreboat for 1004 is $1200. exclusive of sal
aries.
Mr. George J. Walker, the superintendent of
the fire-alarm telegraph system, earnestly
recommends that a change be made from the
automatic to the manual method of operating
said system. There Is no doubt. It the change
could be made, that the new system could be
operated at' less expense and with greater
safety to the public than the present system.
It Is estimated that the entire cost of the
change from one system to the other would
be about $21,000.
City Engineer's Department.
This department has performed an unprece
dented amount of labor for the city during the
last year, and expended a large amount of
money. Its monthly pay-roll amounts to $5000.
It has jurisdiction over the construction and
repair of streets, sewers, sidewalks, elevated
roadways and bridges. Many of those ecu'
nected with this department must be persona
of skill, or special qualifications, tit Is needless
to say that at the beginning of the last year
generally our streets, sidewalks, bridges, and
elevated roadways were In a- wretched con
dition, many of them being In such a dilapi
dated state as to be unsafe for use. While
much remains to be dose, there baa been a
great Improvement made In respect to these
matters. The old asphalt and wood-block
pavements on the main thoroughfares of the
city, aggregating Z mile,. all of nrhlch were
entirely out of repair, nave been repaired or
renewed. There have been 23 miles of streets
improved, and 7G miles of sidewalks laid.
60.93 miles of which are made of cement and
cost $1,150,000. 16 miles of which are mads
of wood; 12.7 miles of sewers have been con
structed, costing $142,000. In addition to
this, work has been commenced on 80 streets.
which Is now In an Incomplete condition.
The aggregate expenses of this department
for 1003 were $S9,3S6.03. The estimated ex
penses for the year 1904 amount to $125,139, for
which estimate X recommend an appropriation.
Street-Cleaning and Sprinkling Department.
The average number of men employed In this
department for the last, year was 35. These"'
men are divided Into day and night shifts;
the day shift consists of 16 men with 8 carts,
and the night shift consists of 18 men with
9 carts, 3 power brooms and 1 scraper. There
are 35 miles of streets improved with asphalt,
brick, stone and wood blocks. It is, of course,
impossible to clean each of said streets every
night with the present force. The department
has 23 sprinklers, 7 of which are worthless.
and only 10 of which can be used. In ad
dition to these, an electric-car sprinkler was
employed at a cost of $9 per day, and covered
an average of 30 miles per day. There are
32 horses belonging to the department. There
Is an absolute need of more sprinklers, more
men and more horses in this department to
make It at all adequate to the increasing
wants of the city. The business of the de
partment has been well and economically man
aged during the last year by Superintendent
Donaldson. The entire expenses of this de
partment for 1903 were $43,846JL The esti
mated expenses for 1004, approved by the
Executive Board, amount to $60,000, for which
amount I recommend an appropriation.
Park Board.
The present charter provides that the parks.
squares, openings, public grounds, grounds
surrounding public buildings, bathhouses and
other places of recreation belonging to the
city shell be under the management and super
vision of a Park Board, to consist of four
persons, to be appointed by the Mayor, with
the Mayor as chairman of the Board. Accord
ingly I appointed Rev. T. I Eliot, L. L.
Hawkins, Ion Lewis and J. D. Meyer such
board. The following is a list of the parks
belonging to the City: City Park, Macleay
Park, Park blocks. Plaza blocks, Holladay
Park, North Alblna Park, Columbia Park, Ter
wllllger Park, Governor's Park. The public
use of Hawthorne Park has been granted to
the city by Mrs. Hawthorne for three years
for a nominal consideration. A tract of land
near the Slavin road has been offered to the
city for a park, but whether it will be ac
cepted has not yet been determined by the
board.
The City Park has been considerably im
proved during the past year, and among other
things a music stand has been erected there
at an expense of $1000. Thirty-five musical
concerts, under the direction of Charles F.
Brown, were given during the past Summer
in the parks of the city, paid for by popular
subscription, including $1000 subscribed by
the Park Board, which amount was used In
the erection of the music stand. These con
certs were very popular, and It Is believed that
the people will cheerfully renew them next
Summer.
During the ensuing Summer It is expected
that a monument commemoratlvo of the early
history of the country will be erected In the
City Park by the heirs of the late D. P.
Thompson; also a Lewis and Clark memorial,
the corner-stone of which was laid by the
President of the United States. Also a monu
ment to the memory of the soldiers of Oregon,
to be erected In the Plaza block, near the
County Courthouse.
Mr. John L. Olmsted, of Boston, has been
consulted by the board as to park improve
ments, but no report has yet been received
from him. Mrs. Burrell made a bequest in
her will of $20,000 for a monument to be
placed In one of the Plaza blocks.
Cement sidewalks on each side of the park
blocks from Salmon to Harrison street have
been contracted for and partly constructed
and similar crosswalks are to be constructed
on the north park blocks, to be paid for out
of the funds of the Park Board. The total
Income of the Park Board, Including sub
scriptions to music fund for the year 1003,
was $31,205.83. The total expenditures, includ
ing musical fund, were $17,043. Estimated
receipts for 1904. Including balance of 1003,
are $34,732.28. The estimated amount of ex
penditures for 1904 Is $31,021, for which esti
mate I recommend an appropriation.
In view of the approaching Lewis and Clark
Fair in 1005, It Is desirable that as much as
possible should be done In 1004 to beautify
the different parks of the city.
Civil Service Commission.
Within 30 days after, the present charter
took effect I appointed a Civil Service Commls.
sion, consisting- of A. A. Courteney, C. W.
Hodson and P. L. Willis, who Immediately
entered upon the discharge of their duties.
Rules and proceedings In the civil service sys
tems of other cities were secured by the com
missioners, and from these they formulated
a set of rules for civil service In this city.
Some of these rules were found at first to be
rather stringent, and were slightly modified.
According to these rules all applicants must
be examined as to their physical condition,
athletic powers or mental qualifications, each
examination, of course, being suitable to the
department for which appointments are to be
made. Since the appointment of the above-
named commissioners they have examined In
all 520 persons, and -448 have been admitted
to the eligible lists. These examinations have
been made by persons appointed by the Com
mission, and have been so conducted that It
was impossible for the commissioners to know
to what applicants the examinations applied.
I can confidently say that the persons placed
by th Commission upon the eligible lists were
placed there without any reference to any per
sonal, party or political consideration, but ex
clusively upon their standing as it appeared
from the examinations; and when the markings
were made upon any particular examination
the yiame of the applicant whose examina
tion ws under consideration was not known
and could not be known to the commissioners.
All the examinations tor all branches of
the public service in the city have not yet
been completed, but the Folice Department,
the Fire Department, the Engineering Depart
ment, tne Street-Cleaning Department, and
generally the labor service for the city, have
been organised under the civil service rules;
and very soon all the persons In the employ
of the city, exclusive of those expressly ex
cepted from its operation by the charter, will
be under the civil service system, and no ap
pointments will be made thereafter except
from the eligible lists.
The Civil Service Commissioners have given
a great deal of time and labor to their duties
without compensation, and I desire to com
mend the diligent, faithful and energetic man
ner In which they have discharged those
duties. In September Commissioner Hodsoa
resigned, and J. W. Blaln was appointed to
fill hts unexpired term. Mr. Tbaddeus S.
Potter was appointed secretary of the Com
mission In March. 1003, and resigned Novem
ber 1", 1903, and Mr. B. L. Stowell was ap
pointed as his successor.
The Commission estimates that an appro
priation of $2000 will be necessary to cover
its expense in 1904.
Health Board.
Pursuant to section 23S of the charter, I
appointed Drs. W. H. Saylor, William Jones
and Mrs. Mae H. Cardwell a Board of Health.
Dr. J. C Zan was appointed City Physician,
and Dr. H. R. Blersdorf, Health Officer. The
city during the past year has been unusually
free from sickness. There have been no epi
demics. As to Infectious disease the following
appears from the report of the Health Officer:
Cases. Deaths.
Diphtheria 214 27
Measles 504 1
Chicken-pox . "SO O
Erysipelas S 5
Typhoid fever - OS 27
Scarlet fever 22 6
Smallpox 170 1
Total number of deaths In this city during
the past year, 1241. Most of the cases of
smallpox have drifted Into the city from other
localities. An additional building for smallpox
patients has been erected, and other Improve,
ments made at the pesthouse. A' pipe line has
been laid from the city to the pesthouse and
Poor Farm at a cost of $1751.30, one-half of
which was paid by the county. By this line
the Poor Farm and the pesthouse are furnished
with Bull Run water. A man and his wife are
employed at the pesthouse at $S0 per month.
Garbage Crematory.
During the past year there have been 2S.1SS
cubic yards of garbage cremated. 251 horses.
33 cows, 742 dogs, and 62 other animals; S774
hours were employed In operating the crema
tory, 450 cords of olabwood, and 1094 loads
of sawdust consumed. The cost of operating
the crematory during the year 1903 was
$7,67&0. It was expended as follows:
Labor $3328.60
Fuel 3206.75
Repairs 748.20
Miscellaneous 394.95
The volume of garbage cream ted during the
year was greatly in excess, of the amount In
any previous year. Extensive repairs were
made to the furnaces, and the plant has been
operated In a very satisfactory manner. No
complaints have been received. The garbage
crematory Is under the, control of the Board
cf Health, and has received the particular su
pervision of Dr. W. H. Saylor." i
There are' employed at the crematory five
men, a superintendent at $75 per month; three
laborers at $60 per month each, and one la
borer at $50 per month. It la very probable
that the capacity of the crematory will have
to be doubled during the next year, and this
can be done by adding two more furnaces,
which. It Is estimated, will cost $6000.
Water Department.
The receipts and disbursements of the Water
Department 'for the year '1003 are as follows:
Receipts
From water committee 30,613.01
Water collections 303,448.25 $424,059.20

Plumbing Department.
By an act of the Legislature, approved Feb
ruary, 24, 1003, it was made my duty to ap
point a Board of Examiners, to consist of two
master -plumbers and one Journeyman plumber,
to examine persons desiring to do plumbing
work In Portland. Accordingly, I appointed
such a board. The act requires that all per
sons except the proprietors of plumbing shops,
working at the business of plumbing la this
city must be examined by said board and must
obtain a license therefor after receiving a
certificate of qualifications from said board.
Each applicant holding such a certificate may
obtain a license to work at plumbing in this
city upon payment of $1 per annum to the
City Treasurer. Proprietors of plumbing shops
are required to register their names with the
Auditor and pay a license fee of $5 per an
num. Any violation of the. provisions of the
act is to be punished by 'a fine of not less
than $10 nor more than $100.
The official plumbing force of the city con
sists of Plumbing Inspector Thomas E. Hulme
and an assistant. The salary of the In
spector is $125 per month, and of the assist
ant $100 per month. The duties and. labors
of the Plumbing Department are Indicated
by the following statement for 1903:
New buildings inspected 961
Old building with new fixtures Inspected. 757
Cesspools connected 448
Sewers connected .. 937
Written notices served 490
Special permits issued 6
Total number licensed plumbers 49

Total number of visits ....6257
Total number of fixtures connected S499
Lights.
-Ordinance No. 13,255, approved March 5,
1903, provided for lighting the streets, ave
nues, parks, publlo grounds and public places
of the city exclusively with electric arc lights,
and empowered the Executive Board to enter
into a contract for five years to supply the
city with such lights. Pursuant to this ordi
nance the Executive Board, after due adver.
tlsement, entered Into a contract with the
Portland General Electric Company to furnish
the city with 850 arc lights of 2000 candle
power each from January 1, 1904, to Decem
ber 31, 100S, for which the city is to pay the
company $4500 per month. The city has the
right to order the installation of any ad
ditional arc lights upon paying for each the
sum of $5.30 per month. The charter provides
for the levying of not to exceed 1 mills for
the lighting fund, but a levy of IVi mills will
furnish all necessary funds for lighting the
city in 1904. A levy of 1U mills will raise
$55,801, to this add the balance on hand of
$10,725, making a total of $72,026, which we
will have for use in supplying lights for 1904.
It is proposed to establish 1000 arc lights, the
cost of which, with the expense of lighting
the public buildings, will not exceed $65,540.
From the balance on hand this date is to be
paid the expense of lighting the city during
the month of December, 1903.
The 1000 arc lights will be so distributed
as to light, as far as practicable, all the
parts of the city. The total expenses for
lighting the city In 1903 were $49,700.65, to
which should be added the expense for Decem
ber, 1003, for which bills have not yet been
presented. The estimates for 1901 amount to
$65,540, and I recommend an appropriation
in accordance with such estimates.
Bridges.
Pursuant to an act of the Legislature Feb
ruary 18, 1903, a contract has been let for
the construction of a new Morrison-street
steel bridge, for the sum of $331,343. It Is
provided in a contract with the City & Subur
ban Railway Company that the minimum
amount paid for the use of the bridge by said
company shall be $12,000 per annum, and any
other railway company using the bridge shall
pay the minimum sum of $6000 per annum.
It is expected that the receipts from the rail
way companies will pay the Interest, or nearly
all the interest upon bonds to be sold for
money with which to construct said bridge.
A contract has been let for the construction
of a steel bridge across Marquam Gulch for
$43.-633." Steps have been taken to build a
bridge on Thurman street at Willamette
Heights, at an estimated cost of $32,500.
Ferries.
Pusuant to an act of the Legislature ap
proved February 24, 1903, I appointed E. D,
Curtis, Joseph Weber and J. M. Nlckum a
committee to take charge of the establishment
of as free ferry at Sellwood. Bonds to the
amount of $15,000 have been sold for that
purpose. Landing places have been secured
and a contract let for the building of .the
ferry-boat.
By an act of the Legislature approved Feb
ruary 24, 1903, provision was made for an
additional free ferry at Alblna. It has been
Impossible so far to secure landing places tor
such a terry for any reasonable price, and It
Is probable that condemnation proceedings
will be necessary for that purpose. An adver.
tlsement for the sale of $50,000 of bonds for
the Alblna ferry will soon be made.
Street Signs.
Four thousand dollars has been appropriated
for street signs, and a contract has been let
for 11.000 signs, which will cost, delivered In
Portland, about 35 cents each. The signs are
to be made of enameled steel, on blue ground.
with large white letters or figures Indicating
the streets. The signs will be delivered so
that in the early Summer all the streets of the
city will be provided with these signs.
Every possible effort ehould be made to pre
pare this city for the Lewis and Clark Ex
position next year. To this end citizens Indi
vidually can render valuable aid to the city
authorities. Weather-beaten and dingy houses
should be painted, dilapidated buildings re
moved, old fences repaired or renewed, lawns
and grounds cleaned up. and assistance given
to the Street-Cleaning Department.
Portland, with Its natural advantages and a
proper civic pride by Its citizens, may be
made one of the most attractive and beautiful
cities in the country.
GEORGE H. WILLIAMS. Mayor.
Tide of Coke Production Turns.
SCOTTDALE. Pa., Jan. 7. The long-expected
turn In the tide of coke production
seems to have been reached, and the Indi
cations are now that each succeeding
week will show substantial gains In pro
duction and shipments. The production
last week Is estimated at 95,000 tons, an
increase of 17, 923 tons over the week pre
vious, while the shipments show a gain
of over 26,000 tons.
SESSION ENDS IN GAYETY
CONFERENCE OF PACIFIC -SYNOD
CLOSES.
Visiting Pastors and Members Art
Tendered Reception by Rev.
and Mrs. J. A. Leas.
The district conference of the Pacific
synod of the English Lutheran Church,
which has been in session at St. James
Lutheran Church for the past three days.
closed yesterday afternoon, when the
work for which the conference assembled
was finished. Last night at the home of
Hey. J.. A. Leas a large reception was
tendered the visiting pastors and the
members of the church. Mr. and Mrs.
Leas received their guests In the front
parlor and their gracious hospitality made
the evening a most enjoyable one tor ail
present. The church, which immediately
adjoins the residence, was thrown open
also to accommodate the visitors.
Probably the most pleasing feature of
the conference occurred yesterday after
noon when tt "was voted to extend a call
to Professor R. S "Weldner. D.D., LL.D.,
of Chicago, the dean of the Theological
School of the Lutheran Church, to open
a Summer school of Theology in Portland
during the months of July and August.
There were many outside pastors present
when this motion was carried, and all
expressed themselves as much pleased
with the project. There Is no doubt that
Professor Weldner "will accept the call,
for he has often spoken of the field for
such an Institution here.
The morning session ytstefaltT jeras de-
voted to a discussion of the outlines oi
sermons taken from the texts, Romans
xii:l-16. and Luke 11:41-62. Dr. A. B.
Brace's "Humiliation of Christ" was criti
cised and discussed by Bev. J. A. Leas in
the afternoon. He said, in part:
"The Humiliation of Christ" by Rev. Pro
fessor A. B. Bruce, D. D., of Glasgow, Scot
land, Is a monumental work of 450 pages, and
well portrays the learned mind of Us author.
The whole earthly history of our Savior Is the
result and evolution of a sublime act of self
humlllatlon, according to the author, and thus
becomes Invested with a high ethical Interest.
This he calls his central idea, and therefore
argues necessity for never allowing a separa
tion between an abstract doctrine and the
consequent ethical result.
The person spoken of la Philliplans II is
the historical person Jesus Christ, conceived
of having previously existed before be en
tered history.
The humiliation consisted first In tha deter
mination not to hold fast and selfishly cling
to equality of state with God, and, secondly.
In the servile, suffering character of bis life
as man; but this humiliation did effect a
change In the personality. It did not mean a
self-extinction, or metamorphosis of a divine
being Into a mere man. He who emptied him
self was the same who humbled himself, and
at the same time he retained a continuity of
self-consciousness.
Christ, during the period of his humiliation,
was a free agent, but was subject to the
reign of natural law, so that the marks of
weakness of the human flesh were real and
not miraculously assumed.
We consider the volume of monumental
work. Like the apologetics by the same
author, it Is rich In material. Here are
brought together all the prominent views on
the subject at hand; they are discussed a.nd
criticised, none perhaps more harshly than
those of our own church, for which we can
forgive him. Kls is the privilege so to do,
and if the Lutheran doctrine cannot bear
criticism, let It fall and give way to truth.
To the contrary, our faith I only strength
ened, after wading through the showers of
criticism and Irony, believing that the old
historic church still stands firmly on the faith
of her founders.
Should this volume fall Into the hands of
those unsettled in their faith, it might drive
to total confusion or at least lead them
through the learned doctor's own favorite
paths, there to wander forever in the ethical at
mosphere of the human Christ, working out his
perfection of humanity.
Bev. iMr. Leas and the visiting pastors
all express themselves as much gratified
with the work of the conference. The old
officers were re-elected and the meeting1
next year will be held In Tacoma.
Working for New Schoolhouse.
