14 THE MORNING GKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1905. WORK ON STREETS What the Committee Decides to Recommend. MESSAGE FROM WANZER He "Advises That Work on an Em bankment for.. East Morrison . Street Be Begun and Hur-' rled to Completion. The streets committee of the City Coun cil yesterday adopted a recommendation from ox-City Engineer Wanzer relative to the immediate improvement of East Mor rison street, from "Water street to Grand avenue. Captain Wanrer set forth in a commu nication that unless the Improvements were commenced at once the street would have to be closed to travel, -which would entail great inconvenience; not only to residents alone: the street ItselC but to the whole East Side. He suggested that the property-owners be requested to fur nish the necessary lumber to redeck the roadway, this to be put down at once by the streetrepalr force of the city. In or der to secure safe travel during perma nent improvement. Ho fifHher advised that the permanent improvement should consist of oarth embankment filled up to the top of the present stringers. "The fill," said he. "should be made on one side of the railroad track at a time, the street not to be open for a greater extent than one block, and the plank to be replaced upon the stringers as soon as the fill on that portion of the street is completed, this method to be pursued for the entire distance, resulting, when com pleted, in the plank roadway still resting upon the preBont .stringers, while the process of the settling of the embank ment would be going on. "Upon the wearing out of the new plank roadway, the same with the string ers to be entirely removed, and the em bankment, having fully settled, to be re dressed with gravel and crushed rock, thus affording good teaming surface until aJI settlage has occurred, at which time the traffic of the ntreet would certainly Justify permanent improvement by stone blocks. The amount of embankment al ready in place along the street renders it possible to All on one side at a time, as above suggested, without any danger of affecting the present timber structure disadvantageous'." Last Official Act. This communication was one of the last official acts of Captain "Wanzer, he having retired to private life yesterday, in con formity with Mayor pane's demand or his resignation. His successor, Douglas "W. Taylor, was present during the ses sion of the committee, but took no active part in Its deliberations. The following new street Improvements were authorized: Seventeenth, from the north line of Elizabeth to the south line of Clifton; east half of Grand avenue, abutting on lots 1. 2. 3 and 4. block 114; intersection of Hancock with East Twenty-fifth and EaBt Twenty-sixth: north half of Cook, abutting on lot 13, block 4t east half of East Ninth, between the aouth line of Belmont and a point 100 feet south thereof; Raleigh, from the cast line of Twenty-fourth to the west line of Front, by macadamizing the roadway; Morrla, from the east line of Vancouver avenue to the west line of Williams ave nue: East Yamhill, from the east line of Union avenue to the east line of East Eighth; Halsey, from the cast line of Union avenue to the west line of East Seventh; Clackamas, from the east line of Union avenue to the west line of East Seventh. The remonstrance of E. T. Johnson ngainst the assessment for the improve ment of portions of Davenport street was referred to the City Engineer for inves tigation. The committee recommended that new proceedings be instituted- relative to the improvement of East Stark street from the east line of East Ninth to the west line of East Twentieth. Remonstrants Notified to Appear. Margaret Dunn and other property-owners having remonstrated against the ap portionment of the assessmetti for the Improvement of Shaver street, from the west line of Mississippi avenue to the cast line of Maryland avenue, oiv the ground that it was excessive, the com mittee oeclded to notify all affected to appear before the next meeting tcr the purpose of considering the matter. The street railway company was quested to remove Its abandoned track on Savier street, between Fourteenth and Twenty-third, and unless an early com pllance Is made, It Is probable the city will Institute proceedings to compel it to 4o so. There being some question relative to the validity of the proceedings In connec tion with the recent annexation of the Mount Tabor district. City Attorney Mc Nary advised that action on the petition for the extension of Belmont street, from the east line of Thirty-ninth to the east ern boundary of section 6. bo temporarily suspended. The thoroughfare is now 30 feet wide, but It is the desire of several property-owners to double this width. The course of the City Attorney in this matter is considered significant as show ing that the newly-acquired territory need not look for any official recognition from the municipality until the validity of Its annexation is disposed of definitely. Upon the petition of J. H. Lucas and others, the committee recommended that the name of Hamlet avenue be changed to Carlton avenue. , For Joint Committee Meetings. Monday, September 18, was set apart for the Joint meeting of the- streets com mittee and Judiciary and elections com mittee of the City Council to consider the various features of the paving-war situa tion between the Warren Construction Company and the Barber Asphalt Paving Company. Several weeks ago a petition was circu lated among property-owners of the East Side asking the City Council to widen East Watcf street, between East Mor rison and Hawthorne avenue, by taking off 20 feet from the west side sof the street, making it 80 feet in width, and viewers were appointed "for the purpose of assessing the costs and benefits. In the course of proceedings incident to the report of the viewers, it developed fhat W. M. JLadd, who owns two blocks abutting on the street, and who was largely instrumental in circulating the petition to have it widened, presented a claim for damages based upon a valua tion of 5100.000 for each block, although It was stated before the committee that property In the neighborhood was not worth more than 515,000 a block. The Troy Laundry, also submitted a claim of 518,000 damages for cutting off 0 feet from Its building, and under the circumstances the committee concluded to abandon all further proceedings in the direction of widening the street. DR. J. O. ZAN IS REMOVED City "Physician's Place Filled by Dr. Franklin CaHthorn. The City Board of Health held a special meeting yesterday morning, and one of Its first official acts was. to get rid of Dr. J. C.Zan as City Physician, and appoint Dr., Franklin Cautborn In Ills place. Dr, Sam C Slocum, Assistant City Physician, was also removed without much cere mony, but the appointment of his suc cessor was temporarily passed. The board likewise removed Superin tendent Robinson, of the garbage crema tory, and gave his 5110-a-month position to C L. Doggctt, a local Democrat. Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, the newly ap pointed Market Inspector, roported that she had investigated conditions pertaining to 75 groceries, meat markets and cream eries, without finding anything of a start ling character. . Mayor Lane was In favor of employing the city prisoners to clean out the ob noxious sloughs on the East Side, and the board coincided with his views. In ac cordance therewith, a resolution was adopted asking the consent of the City Council in having the chain-gang perform the work. Dr. Ray Matson, the new Health Offi cer, submitted a request for the employ ment of a young lady assistant by the city. Instead of out of his 590-a-month salary. The City Council will also be asked to make the necessary appropriation. Introduced "by Request Only. Councilman Masters wishes it under stood that he Is not the author of the or dinance Introduced lately Imposing a license on farmers and others disposing of their product on the streets. He says that he introduced the measure by re quest, and Is in no way otherwise respon sible for Its provisions. He is moved to make this explanation for the reason that his friends have refused to sign the petition asking the Council not to pass the ordinance on account of the belief that he originated it. Mr. Masters says that they need not refrain any further on that account. LORD'S SUIT THROWN OUT DEMURRER IX ACTION AGAINST HENEY IS SUSTAINED. Court Agrees With Counsel That Civil Action Will Not Lie Against Public Official. The 550,000 damage suit of Charles F. Lord against . Francis J. Heney. United States District Attorney, for slander and malicious prosecution, was knocked out by Judge Frazer yesterday, who sus tained a demurrer to the complaint. Mr. Lord has five day time to proceed fur ther, but It is doubtful that he can re instate himself in court. He says he will file an amended complaint. Lord was Indicted by the United States grand Jury on a charge of Impeding jus tice. Specifically the accusation was that he falsely accused Mr. Heney with Im proper relations with Miss Marie Ware, the purpose of which was to hinder, de lay and defeat the prosecution of the land fraud cases. The indictment was dis missed, and Mr. Lord sued Mr. Heney for damages, alleging that the United States District Attorney was actuated solely by malice and that the charge was false and groundles?. Mr. Lord further set forth In his complaint that In the grand-Jury room Mr Heney called him a liar, and threatened to meet him outside and thrash him, and numerous other things. All these acts Mr. Lord said In jured his reputation, and caused him mental suffering. Henry E. McGinn appeared as counsel for Mr. Heney. Mr. McGinn read the complaint through fully and then ad dressed the court briefly. He stated that It was a well established principle of law that a public officer such as a district attorney. Judge or Juptlce of the peace, could not be made liable In a civil suit for his official acts, even though those were alleged to be malicious. In such a case if the facts were true counsel said there might be grounds for impeachment or criminal action. Judge Frazer readily agreed with Mr. McGinn that there was no room for dis cussion, and sustained the demurrer. Mr. Lord was not prewmt durlne th nt.. ument. BAClC FR0MCRATER LAKE Railway Officials Are Much Pleased With Its Plcturesqucness. The party of Southern Pacific and O. R. & X. Railroad officials which has been absent from the city since August S on a trip to Crater Lake, returned yesterday morning. They were accompanied by William E. Curtis, the well-known cor respondent of the -Chicago Record-Herald. All in the party were much pleased with the region visited. The special object of the trip was to see the country which It Is proposed to Improve by the Govern ment Reclamation Service. A careful in spection was made of the Klamath region Including a visit to the Indian reserva tion and a trip through the Cascade for est reserve. The grandeur of Crater Lake surpassed all expectations. A. L. Craig general passenger agent of the Harrlman lines in Portland was enthusiastic in his description of the trip. "Crator Lake and its surroundings Include some of the grandest scenery in America," he said. "I believe that It will hmnmo th. xr of thousands of tourists when the region oecoracs more wiaeiy known. We were especially pleased with the scenery along Anna Creek. This stream, bursting out of the mountain side, flows between pre cipitous cliffs hundreds of feet in height, forming one of the grandest canyons in America. The stream Itself is much larg er than some of the so-called rivers, and It seemed to us that the name belittles It. We suggest that Instead of Anna Creek it oucht to be caJIivi fmtor ti.- The whole region abounds in game, both large ana small, ana there are fish in abundance. It Is the sportsman's paradise."
