AMENDMENTS TO
tin CHARTER
Wnat.the Voters of Portland
Are- to Pass Upon at the
Election.
TWO 'ANNEXATION PLANS
Resume of the Various Subjects Sub
mitted to the Electorate and a
Careful Analysis of "What
Would Be the Effects.
Electors of Portland will vote next
Monday in the city election on eight
charter amendments and an automatic
telephone franchise, and in eight East
Side precincts on prohibition, at the
same time as they vote for officers of
the city government. The amendments
which receive a majority of the votes
cast will become integral parts of the
city charter, and should the new tele
phone franchise receive a majority of
the votes on that question, a competing
telephone system will be established
in the city.
Among the most important of the
proposed amendments is that which
would assess the cost of gulch bridges,
costing 515,000 or more, against the en
tire clly, instead of against a special
district, and would authorize the Coun
iM to levy a special tax of 2 mills there
for. The Gulch Bridges.
Three gulch bridges have been built
in the city on the special district as
sessment plan, one at "Willamette
Heights and two in South Portland, but
the assessments against the bridge
districts have not. boen levied. Should
the 2-miIl tax carry next Monday, those
three bridges will be paid for by the
entire city, the same as all such bridges
hereafter. Morrison bridge is paid for
by the whole city, not, however, by a
tax. but by bonds.
The proposed amendment is an ad
dition to section 114 of the charter, and
reads:
The Council aleo has the power and au
thority, at the fame time the other annual
levy or levies of taxes are made, as provided
n this section, to levy and collect annually,
n addition to all the tax or taxes herMnbc
iore authorized, a special tax not exceeding 2
mills on each dollar valuation o the property
in said city, both real and personal, which
is taxable by law for city purposes for the
purpose of paylmt for the construction of
bridges in said city, and said taxes shall be
apportioned to a fund to be known as the
special bridge fund"; raid speclal bridge
fund shall- be used only for the purpose of
paying for the construction of bridges In said
city, elsewhere than across the "Willamette
Itivcr. the estimated cost of which by said
city Phall be not less than $15,000 each; and
also for the purpose of paying for any bridge
or "bridges not across the Willamette River,
which were constructed in and by said city
during the year 1004. or which. are now under
course of construction under contract with
said city and which have not been paid for
prior to January 1, 1805; provided, that this
provision shall not be construed so an to
Include elevated roadways, tramways or any
Atru'etures other tban bridges acrofs gulches
.and .ravines. The, said City of Portland 'shall
postpone all proceedings tpward the" assess
ment, levy or collection of special assessments
upon property within the vcral districts de
scribed as being benefited by bridges con
structed during the year 1004, or which are
under course of construction as above de
scribed until the 15th day of June, 1905, and
If this act la approved, as hereinafter pro
vided. 6aid proceedings shall be permanently
discontinued, and said bridges shall be paid
for out of the special bridge fund herein pra
vided for.
The said City of Portland Is hereby fur
ther authorized unUl said special tax shall be
collected, to pay out of the general fund of
oaid city, or after said special tax has been
collected, to pay out of said special bridge
fund. Interest at the legal rate upon all money
due upon contracts for the construction of
said bridges built by said city during the
year 1004, or which are now under course of
construction, under contract with said city.
Said amounts due shall bear Interest from and
after the approval and acceptance of paid
bridges and until paid. Provided, however,
that the provisions of this section thai I not
be construed to release any street railway
company, its successors or assigns, within the
City of Portland, or operating cars or rail
ways therein, from paying its full share of
the cost of construction of any of said bridges
which have been or may be constructed, but
euch street railway company or companies
shall be liable for and shall pay Its just pro
portion of the cost of said bridges as pro
vided by the ordinances or franchises of said
city. Upon the completion and acceptance
of any such bridge or bridges the Mayor and
Auditor of the City of Portland are author
ized to issue warrants in paymeitt thereof
out of said special bridge fund In the same
manner as warrants are Issued against spe
cial assessment funds for other Improvements,
but no liability shall be Incurred in any one
year for a greater amount .than would be
produced by a 2 mills levy on each dollar
valuation of property as shown by the last
assessment roll.
The alleged purpose or the street rail
way franchise amendment is to facilitate
grants fo car companies for short connect
ing tracks and extensions from one street
to another. Since the street-car lines were
united the Consolidated Company has de
sired, wherever possible or convenient, to
connect the lines of the two systems
which were merged. To this end the com
pany seeks passage of the charter amend
ment so that the franchises for the new
tracks can be secured on the same terms
as the blanket franchises, which were se
cured before the new charter went into
effect, and "under which the Consolidated
Company operates its various lines. The
new charter contains mandates as to joint
use of tracks, and limits the life of fran
chises to 23 years, while the blanket fran
chises have nearly 28 years yet to run.
The Objectionable Clause.
The amendment would still require
grants of such franchises to be passed by
two-thirds of the Council, and if vetoed
by the. Mayor, by four-fifths of the Coun
cil, the same as all other car franchises.
The charter authority placed In the Coun
cil to compel holders of franchises to
give the use of tracks to a competitor is
eliminated by the amendment, and it is
held that this provision will strengthen
the monopoly of the Consolidated Com
pany In the business district of the city.
The amendment follows, the objection
able part being the last clause:
Whenever any person or corporation owning
or operating street railways in the City o
Portland under a franchise or franchises
granted oy the city, -makes application to
build, .maintain and operate connecting lines
of railway upon streets of the city upon
which no tracks are laid, for th purpose of
connecting said street railways, or connecting
said street railways with street railways
owned or operated by others, or to shorten or'
m.k more convenient the operation of satd
street railways, the Council may by ordi
nance from time to time grant upon such
conditions and terms as it may prescribe, to
such person or corporation the righj. to build.
maintain and operate for such purposes, and
not otherwise, lines of track upon street not
already occupied "by railway tracks, without
complying with the "provisions of this charter
several Eg the granting of franchises, excest
those set oat la 'sect! cm 97 of this charter;
provided, however, that sack- .coaectlng, lines
shall in no. one tostance exceed 13 feet In
length; And provided further, that the fran
chise or franchises under which each per
son or corporation is operating such lines of
railway so to be connected ' shaU In all re
epects be deemed embodied In pnd an in
tegral part of such grant as though express
ly embodied in and made an Integral part of
the ordinance granting such right.
Deposits of city funds in the banks arc
now secured by Indemnity bonds of surety
companies. The charter provides that the
security may be standard securities, twice
In value the amount of the deposit. An
amendment is proposed to eliminate in
demnity bonds and to require standard
securities, such as bonds of the City of
Portland at their face value, or state,
county, municipal or school bonds, rail
road or street railway bonds, whose mar
ket value Is one-fourth greater than the
amount of the deposit.
Smaller Banks Object.
Much opposition to this amendment has
arisen from the smaller banks, which In
sist that the amendment is got up In the
interest of the larger banks, which desire
to monopolize the deposits and to pay the
city little or no interest. The answer is
that Indemnity bonds are not adequate se
curity for city funds.
The amendment is to be made to section
293 of the charter, and Is to be:
Any bank In the City of Portland with a
paid-up capital of $250,000, which desires' to
receive on deposit a portion or all of the
city funds, shall, prior to the first Monday
in April In each year, file with the City
Treasurer an application for such deposits.
Such application shall stale:
First The amount and character of secur
ity the bank has to offer; and
Second The rates of interest the bank will
pay on open account and on time certificates
or deposit. The Treasurer shall present such
application, together with his recommenda
tions, to the Council. The Council shall
thereupon determine what bank or banks shall
receive the city funds and be designated as
depositaries of the city.
The bank or banks receiving euch deposit
from the city shall be required to deposit
with the Treasurer jslther:
Bonds of the City of Portland, the face value
of which must be at al times ejual to the
amount of money on deposit by the city with
said bank or banks; or
Bonds of any city, county, municipality or
school district within the State of Oregon; or
Well-recognized railroad or street railway
bonds, the interest upon which has not been
In default for a period of six years prior to
the offering of such bonds as security, and
the market value of which is such that the
net returns from the bond is no greater than
5 per cent per annum.
Where state, county, municipal or school
bonds, railroad or street railway bonds are
offered as security, the market x-alue of the
same at all times shall be not less than one
and one-quarter times the amount of the city
deposit In said bank or banks.
The Council shall determine the relative
values of all securities offered, and when the
same rate of interest is bid, the Council shall
give preference to the bank or banks offer
ing bonds of the City of Portland as security.
The Council may at its option reject any se
curities offered.
Addition of 15 per cent penalty for
delinquent street and sewer assess
ments, to the present 6 per cent per
annum interest penalty is the object of
another amendment.
As the charter now stands, the 6 per
cenX penalty begins ten daya after
the assessment is 'due. The proposed
amendment would add a 15 per cent
penalty 90 Jays after the assessment
becomes due. The ostensible purpose
of the change Is to relieve the city of
long-delinquent assessments and to se
cure prompt payment to contractors,
who now arc put to long waits for their
money not only by negligent property
owners but by those who find It cheap
er to pay the 6 per cent interest penalty
than to pay the assessment when due.
Comes Prom the Contractors.
The amendment originally came from
contractors. It is an addition to section
408 and follows:
If said delinquent assessment is not paid
within P0 days after the date of the entry of
said assessment In the docket of city Hens,
there shall be collected from the person or
persons paying said aSfessment and for the
benefit of the City of Portland ,a penalty
equal to 15 per cent of said delinquent as
sessment, and If the property assessed is
old after said 00 days after the entry of the
assessment In the docket of city liens, as pro
vided in section 412 of this charter, said
property shall be sold for a sum not less than
the unpaid assessment and the Interest there
on, and the cost of advertising and sale, and
me amount oi saia penalty.
in order to reJuce the expense to
property-owners of advertising the cost
of street and sewer improvements, an
amendment has been proposed whereby
the advertlsments shall specify the
whole cost and the boundaries of the
district to bo assessed therefor. The
present method Is to advertise each lot
or parcel of land against which the as
sessment Is to be levied and the effect
Is a largo amount of advertising In
the official newspaper. The amendment
would require the Auditor to notify by
mall each property-owner of his appor
tionment of the cost.
Amendments are proposed for annex
ation of two districts to the city, one
between Portland and St. Johns, the
other between Portland and Mount Ta
bor. "But nothing In this act shall be
construed to change the boundaries of
school districts No. 5 (St. Johns) and
No. 44 (Mount Tabor) of the County of
Multnomah, State of Oregon, or to make
the territory added to the City of Port
land, by said amendment, a part of
school district No. 1 (Portland) of said
county."
The Territory Described.
The territory between Portland and
Mount Tabor consists of section 6,
township 1 south, range 2 east, Wll
lamette meridian. It extends south of
Base Line road to the section line
which runs about 130 feet south of
Section Line road, and east from the
present city boundary to a line about
400 feet east of west avenue.
The description of the St. Johns ter
ritory follows:
Also beginning at the northwesterly corner
of the City of Portland, running thence south
westerly and 150 feet northerly from a county
road known as the Columbia Slough road, to
a point which is Intersected by a northeasterly
extension in a straight course of the westerly
side line of Ida street, as located on the map
of Northern Hill Acres, said westerly side
line of Ida street being the easterly side line
of a tract of land known as the Brazce tract;
thence southwesterly along said extension and
said side line to its intersection with the
southerly side line of Willamette boulevard
thence southeasterly along the last-named line
to the west line of McKcnna. avenue; thence
northemly along the last named line and an
extension thereof to the point of beginning,
The Clerk of the Municipal Cfurt is
now appointed by the .Executive Board
and draws $75 a- month salary. An
amendment is proposed to 'give the ap
pointment to the Municipal Judge and
to place the approval of his bond with
the Council; also to exempt the clerk
from civil service rules.

Declares That the Three States of the
Coast Should Act as One for
the. Common Interest
of All.
Edward P. Antron, of San Francisco,
representative of the California
Promotion Committee. Is at the
Portland TTotel. Mr. Antron is making
arrangements for the excursion to
Portland of prominent business and
professional men of California which
will be given under the auspices of the
committee.
T am surprised at the great prog
ress which has been made In getting
the Fair ready for the opening day."
said Mr. Antron. But tnen it is no
more than we of the Golden State have
expected of our progressive sister
commonwealth.
"The people of California are In
tensely Interested In the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition: our pa
pers are constantly commenting upon
the Exposition and the public Is talk
ing of It.
"The business men s excursion to be
given under the auspices of the Pro
motion Committee will be an expres
sion of the friendly feeling which the
Golden State has for Its great north
ern neighbor. In commercial as well
as social progress the Interests of the
whole Pacific Coast are closely identi- I
fled and our buslenss men appreciate
tiis fact more and more. The party
will leave California on the evening
of June 10 in one of the finest special
trains ever made up on the Pacific
Coast. It will consist of the latest de
sign Pullman sleepers, new type obser
vation car, composite carr with bath,
barber shop, buffet, library, etc., and
dining cars. Several representatives of
the California and Eastern press will
accompany the excursion and a special
darkroom will be fitted up for the com
mittee's official photographer. The
train will arrive on -June 12, which has
been designated by President Goode
and the official management of the Ex
position as California Promotion Com
mittee day. A feature of the commit
tee's stay In Portland will be a day's
trip on the teamer Bailey Gatzert.
which has been chartered for a trip to
Cascade Locks on the Columbia River.
On this trip officials of the Exposition,
members of the Portland Commercial
Club and others will be guests of the
committee. On Thursday, June 15, a
public reception will be given at the
California building.
"The California Promotion Commit
tee's excursion is of especial signifi
cance Inasmuch as the committee is the
central organization of 150 Chambers
of Commerce and development organi
zations in California. Almost without
exception these organizations have
taken part in the movement to exhibit
California products at the Fair. Many
representatives of commercial .organi
zations of California ar already here
In charge of exhibits. The commercial
organizations of California expend all
the way from (1000 to $25,000 a year each
In their routine work. Besides this a
tax of 2 mills Is available for adver
tising purposes at the discretion of the
Boards of Supervisors of each county.
Large individual subscriptions have
been made to assist the exhibits at the
Fair.
"The Oregon Development League is
'doing a great work. I believe our com
mercial organisations tnrough the Pa
cific Coast are fast appreciating the
benefits to be derived from working to
gether. "Tha head and shoulders of the move
ment In California Is Rufus P. Jennings.
a well-known merchant of San Fran
cisco. Mr. Jennings Is the very embodl
ment of energy, optimism and organiza
tion. He Is executive officer of the Pro
motion Committee representing the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce on the
committee. Mr. Jennings takes a" broad
view of everything. He was the first
to lead out vigorously that California,
Oregon and Washington should be
close friends and that commercial or
ganizations of these states as express
ing the sentiment of the business com
munity for development should pull to
gether. The committee's excursion is
a step in this general -movement.
"The committee has sent out alm'ost
2,000,000 pamphlets to all parts of the
world from its headquarters in. San
Francisco since it was organized- less
than three years ago. But we also end
out literature on Washington and Ore
gon and our publicity bureau is syndi
cating matter on the Exposition. -Mr.
Jennlnss' motto" is: 'Get the population .
rolling westward to the Pacific.' There's
room for everybody on the Coast,- "he
says, and there Is no need for anyono
to go to Canada In order to find good
agricultural land, and great natural-resources.
The committee maintains- a
large force of stenographers which' Is
constantly sending letters to all "parts
of the world. Many departments such
as publicity, information, etc., etc, are
kept up."
New Pine Creek Wants Doctor.
New Pine Creek, in Lake County, Is Jn
need of a doctor at the rate of J75;gBar- -teed
salary a month for 12 of those:e
Tlods of time. Being in need, the secre
tary of the Progressive Alliance of' that
city has written to the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce asking that a doctor
of experience willing to work for the sum
named be found and sent to his new field
at once.
It is stated in the letter that the town
has 25 families, two stores, a blacksmith
shop and two hotels. It Is 14 miles tiver
the mountains one way, and 16 the other
before a doctor can be found. The 25
first families of the city pledge 575 a month
for a year, with the understanding that
anything more that the physician makes
he can keep.
The people of New Pine Creek make-ap-pllcation
at this time, knowing that the
graduating exercises are just now increas
ing the ranks of the healers, and thinking
that the large additions will "make it nec
essary for some of the older men to get
out into the country, where the life Is not
so strenuous.
To Every Home
as -with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play when in health
and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor
life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and
the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health .
should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of
every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a
remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence
should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial
in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in
many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and
excellence is based upon persdnal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, be
cause they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform
all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, .
by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most benefici
ally and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian
blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret rem- '
edy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not
approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup ;
of Figs always has the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the. front of every package and that it is for sale-in
bottles of one-size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty
cent size, or having" printed thereon the name of any other company, do not
accept it If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects.
Every family should always have a bottle oh hand, as it is equally beneficial
ior tne parents ana tne cniiaren, wnenever a laxative remedy is requireu.
