until the next regular meeting. In con
nection with this matter. City Engineer
"Wanzer wrote the following letter -to
Auditor Devlin at the time of transmit
ting his certificate,, of acceptance of the
work: i '
Mr. T. C. Devlin. City Auditor Dear Sir:
Herewith please find certificate of accep
tance for the Front-street bridge from a
point 100 feet south to the south line of
Caruthers street to the nortb line of Arthur
street, constructed by the Pacific Construc
tion Company, and In accordance -with the
(""provisions of ordinance No. 13956.
in mis connection J wish io any idm hub
acceptance Is In accordance with thi orig
inal estimate with the exception of the
increase in the amount of -concrete in the
piers and abutments. This Increase occurs
on account of total lack of knowledge at the
inception of the work, of the depths to
whlch'lt was necT-ssary to go in order to
place' the piers on solid foundation. Other
wise there Is not an extra of any kind al
lowed or asked for. .and. I-would al this time
be pleased to convey to the Executive Board
my opinion that thls,strueture Is first-class
Jn every particular that the price Is rea
sonable, and In comparison with the First
street bridge, more than reasonable, and
further" tliat the contractors have since I
have had charge of the work shown a de
fcfre to meet my wishes In every regard.
The work has been constructed in a con
scientious and workmanlike manner. Yours
respectfullv, CHARLES WANZER.
, City Engineer.
Wanzer deplored the fact that, in the
effort to protect the people of Woodlawn
from the encroachments of gravel-hunters,
the City of Portland had -deprived
itsell, of its best material for street im
provement, as under prevailing ordinances
to adopt his suggestions in the matter.
and a resolution was passed recommend- j thc cjly ls prohibited from usktg-any oth
ing the City Council to make thc increase- ur than rlver cravd. which is much in-
lerjpr io oanK gravel lor -eLreeis. ,
upon thc following basis: Captains, $S3;
lieutenants, $S0; . hSsemen, laddermen,
stokers and drivers, first six months, $63,
second lx months. $70. and third six
months, $75. where the salary is to remain
stationary (or that class or service. The
increase applies to those who -have been
in the department any length of time, and
goes batjlt;- so that those who have been
there 18 months will be paid thc maximum
salary at once. Captains and lieutenants
now receive -$I3 .a, month, and the men-$S3.
ThejJHpposcditcrea9C was the s'Ubje'ct!
of considerable good-natured discussion
amongJvariQus members of the board, and
was participated in by Mayor Williams,
Curtis, Soise and Fliedncr. In answer to
a question, Ciiicr Campbell stated that
the lrioSt trouble prevailing in thc depart
ment -iydts oiuaccouut of securing thc right
kind "of rank-and-llle men that is, hose
men, laddermen, stokers aud drivers. .It
was .difficult to get them to remain In
thc service at the salaries paid, and he
made iih earnest appeal in their behalf.
Fliedner seemed to regard it as a sort
of Miles Standlsh proposition, and favored
placing the salary of -Chief Campbell "on

Xorth Park Streets.
"Ever fcince the decision of the Park
BoarVl was published, taking away from
the boys the privilege of. uslng the
block between Hiimside and Couch
streets as a ball' ground, X have been
anxiously watching- your columns, hop
ing tnat some one would come for
ward as a chaplon or the' boys," says
William P. Trumbull. "As I under
stand the situation It is, briefly, as fol
lows: The hlock In question has been
used by the boys for years as a ball
ground, but recently some of the
property-owners, who, by the way,
used it as a playground' for their own
children until they moved out or the
neighborhood, objected, on thc ground
that the boys destroyed property, used
obscene language, tore up the f turf
wanted to cut down some trees, and,
afler the manner or boys, made them
selves .generally obnoxious. In rep.ly't
the boys In question submitted the pe
tition, t .. ',
"Upon inquiry, we Jin3 that the gen
eral scheme or continuous park blocks
does not take into consideration- thc
fact that the children or this particu
lar neighborhood have no other place
for their more vigorous games. They
are not allowed to play ball In the
street, and their mothers will not allow
them to go over to Alblna, the only
-other open place for their ball game3.
The Park Board "does not object to the
children rolling 'on the lawn, or play
ing two-old-cat. Unfortunately we find
the breathing- spaces of our city pre
empted by the people who need them
least or all by those who can go to the
beach or to the mountains In the Sum
mer, who can afford to pay car fare to
the City Park or to the golf links. Thc
Park Board listened once "before to a
similar ' pettttlon and shut 'off the
square near the Park School because It
was being used by those 'who'tild not
live in' me lmmeuiaie neignoornooa
"Who need the playgrounds the chil
dren of the well-to-do, who can be
sent to the park In :are of their
nurses, or the children or mothers who
canoot afford to go wth them and wjio
will rot allow them to go far from
home unattended?
"Take a rjde through the nortn and
.the south ends or town, through Ixtw
er Alblna, after school hours, and
whejee will you find the children play
Ins? In the streets. Portland needs
playgrounds, and wc should provide
theas now not sometime In the future
i now. L.et us nope tnat tne iaric
i Board will reconsider Ha refusal, and
let us use this one remaining block as
a public playground. It will cost less
ts equip It as a playground than It
will-to lay cement walks and keep the
grass cat. Fence It with wlre'jjttliif, .
put,; ia seme swings, oe tMayjMfef , x
sand pile for the little ones. soWie gywr-"
nastfc apparatus, a drlnkteg- fountain',
let the bi boys have It for btili
every Saturday afternoon, and after
a month shall have .passed, let us take
a ballot as to the most popular square
In thc city.
"We ure facing a curious situation.
On the 18th of this month, the Juvenile
Court law goes into effect, designed to
keep our children out -of jail. On the
other hand, our Park Board, at the die--
tatlon of some of our citizens who pave
forgotten their own childhood, proceed
to Increase the boy's chances for get
ting into Jail. Joseph T-.ee, the cham
pion of the playground, tells us that
lheJoy without a playground is the
father of the man wlthouta job.'"
The petlflqn o'f the boj's follows:
"We boys, whose signatures are
hereunto-attached, do. most respect
fully petition that wc niay be allowed
the use of the Bark block, bounded by.
Burnside. Couch,' Eighth and North
Park streets, as a playground.
"Should our prayer be "granted, we
agree in return that we will allow no
boy or boys to Indulge In profane or
obscene language while using the
playgrounds: neither .will we tolerate
bullying, quarreling or fighting, -and
wc pledge- ourselves to act In concert
to prevent It."
The petition is signed by 43 .boys
with their home addresses, all of
whom, with the cxceptlonof half a
dozen, live within the Immediate or
convenient vicinity of -thi4-Park block.

OFFER TO REFUND MADE
Colored "Man Insisted on iveepinj
Tickets for Private Bex Rather
Than tp Receive His Money
Back From 3fanngcr.
The rights of colored people attending
theaters -was argued yesterday bcrore
Judge Frazer In" the suit of Oliver Taylor,

ge? of the Star" Theater, 'tp.gecover $3000
damages .because. Xayio.r and several ol
his frleiids were" denied the occupancy

lor had .purchased, several box seatsv and
whenr ho ana his party arrived at the
theater their attention- 'was called to a
rule of the house refualngseats in the
boxes to colored persons, and the" party
was denied admission., Taylor declined to
accept the return of his money, and sued
Cohn, alleging ln.,hls complaint that he
suffered mortification and humiliation.
The argumentj-yerday was on the de
murrer to the complilnt. McCant Stewart,
the"attornev for .Taylor, is a colored man.
There is no clyjl jfehts-'blll In the Oregon
statute, And Mr. Stejwart argued that the
common - law applied, and that his com
plaint should stand. He read a case de
cided in the New York courts where it
was held that when a ticket was pur
chased "entitling- the holder to occupy a
certain numbered seat, the holder was
entitled to thc use of the seat on the dale
specified.
Alexander Bernstein, for the derense.
contended that the ticket was a revokable
license, subject to b cancelled by th?
management and the - money refunded.
counsel said the manager or a theater
had the right to say that colored persons
might sit in a certain portion or the
house and be excluded from another por
tion. Reasonable rules could be estab
lished, the same as were adopted by rail
road companies. Mr. Bernstein called at
tention to the "Jim Crow" cars In the
South, and he read a, decision of a Call
fornla rourt that to refuse to permit col
ored-iChlldren to attend the same schools
as white children, and to attend separate
schools was hot an unjust discrimination
if school facilities wen; .provided, and that
was; all that was necessary comply with
the law. Counsel further ...argued that
Taylor could not recover for alleged
humiliation, hue could .recover for the
tickets he purchased and .expenses' but
