J CHARTER PROVISION QUOTED Councilman Deferrds the Visit to Los Angeles, Declaring That Investi gation of Streets and Tele phones Is Necessary. The fund from which the $1500 will be appropriated to pay for the Los Angeles Journey of the Council Is provided by the charter and Is quoted as being the "Ap propriation for miscellaneous expenses of the Council." "While the charter does not state spe cifically that the fund shall be used for "Junkets," in the opinion of the Council men, the purpose of the fund Is to per mit Just such trips as they are about to take. Section 22, article iv., which provides the fund, reads as follows: To expend for purposes not la thte charter otherwise authorized during any fiscal year moneys out of the general fund of this city not exceeding In the aggregate ,the sum of $1000, no part of which sum shall be expended except by ordinance duly passed by the affirm ative vote of two-thirds of the members of the Council. A balance has been carried over from last year, and as there is now about $1800 in the fund, the Councilmen are enabled to appropriate $1500. City Auditor Devlin, although invited to accompany the Councilmen on their Journey, will not go, insofar as the du ties of his office will not permit bis leav ing. There is some doubt as to whether A. K. Bentley will make the trip. Re gardless of. this, however, Mr. Bentley said yesterday? "If the Councilmen have no right to appropriate this money for a trip to Ios Angeles, they should be Juhaped on, but as they have a right, I see no reason for the criticisms. "We have had one experi ence here with a second telephone com pany, and we do not propose to give an other franchise that will permit a com pany to bleed the people for a few months and then sell out to the present concern. Public opinion is apparently in favor of the Journey, although the press is against it, for every man I meet says, I am glad to see that you are going to make the trip "The Empire Electric Company makes eome pretty strong claims for their auto matic telephones. The question Is, Can they substantiate them? Well, we are going to And out. It is not only the tele phones. We are going to improve miles and miles of streets this year. We have spent millions of dollars in the past, but the City of Portland has not as yet one good street. The Councilmen will see the streets of the eltles In the South and they will learn the methods governing their improvement. The trip is not a "Junket, and there is no question but what the result will be of material benefit to the city." Mr. Bentley then turned to his tele phone and waited possibly 50 seconds for a. response from tho central girl. "There Is an example of the service we are" having. This company has promised -us the very best of service and two tele phones for the same price that we are paying for the one. It was only a few years ago that I had two telephones, one one either side of my desk. To pay for two telephones again will Incur Just as much of a burden upon me as upon any other business man, but if the coming of the new company will ultimately benefit the city by giving us better service and bring us in contact with probably 10.000 people who will have nothing to do with .'the present company, I am in favor of it. If 1 am convinced, however, that the Empire Company Intends eventually to pell out to the Pacific States Company, as did .the Columbia aggregation, why, I shall oppose it." They Know Each Other Two Patrolmen on Xocal Police Force Played Together While Boys In Sweden. '7V S BOYS they went to school together M in far-away Gottenburg, Sweden, and after years of Journeying, Patrolmen Carlson and Jsakson are wearing the blue ilothjp&nickel-plated shield of the Port land'TolIce Department Both attended the Technical High School. After Unishing that course, Carl son entered a military academy. Isakson accepted a position of trust with one of the largest lumbering firms in the world, and remained with the company a long time. Afterward, when he had -grown to manhood, he shipped and trav eled about considerably. After a good many years, ho arrived in Portland, where he has long been a member of the police force. Carlson came to Portland several years ago. and, after working at the painters' trade, made application and became a member of the police force. Jtsakson has special hours, reporting for duty under Captain Gritzmacher and re porting off duty to Captain Moore. He is -the most eccentric member of the depart ment In writing reports of things both on and off hie .beat. With each case he reports he tells Chief Hunt or the Cap tains Just what should be done. His hobby is keeping the electric lights burn ing on his territory, and It Is said that he has never failed to report from one to 25 lights out each night. Carlson 1b attached to the second relief, commanded by Captain Bailey. When the new alterations were made at Police Headquarters, he had the honor of being assigned in plain clothes to do the painting..
