THE aCOHiraSG- OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1905. 11 HID DESIRES NO HASTY' ACTION Bid on irvington Sewer Goes to the Committee on Rules. MAYOR WANTS NO SCANDAL After Prolonged Discussion hy 3rem bcrsof Executive Board Pacific Bridge Company Finds It Will Have to Walt. "When the Qo.Jn of awarding the con. tsaot Smc the oBstractlon of the Irvlng um dtrtrict powot to the FactHc Bridge Company, on its hid of J1S3.796.46, came -up fevflbr the special session of the Execu tive Board yesterday 'Xtornoon, there was r MtNintanitjr of feeling among the mem bers tfcat before giving the corporation the right to go ahead, every possible pro vocated xhoutd be thrown around tho pcwty-owner3. who otherwise might be at tfce snercy of some scheming contractor. Umir Lmiii was renounced in his Wwut on the tmbject. He sounded the koywot-e to the whole situation by cx pWwInc that already there had been a groat oeU of scandal connected with the fevtidlnK of sowers in thte city, and he wnw averse to having his administration Mixed p with them. The general dts ctmmIow that ' followed the motion of Mr. Poory to adopt the report of the sewer oMMMtUee recommending the award of tine contract to the Pacific Bridge Com juiay. developed such an antagonistic MOttoaent in the Board to act hastily in Dm matter that Peery withdrew his mo tto, and votod with a41 the others to refer the question to the committee on rules, with power to investigate and at ttoo name time draft a new rule or tne 1wdy covering; all future proceedings of vMe cnaracter. Cogswell States Position. C A. Cogswell at the outset stated that as a member of the sower committee he had voted to accopt the bid of the Pacific BcMire Company, and while still satisfied that R was legal and proper, deemed it expedient to proceed with caution, as mm questions had lately arisen that extefct to be looked into, especially with reference to the proper preparations of tkt ;pecMlcatiofis, and he thought the Board ought to have the benefit of ex proselonp on the subject from both ex Ctty Engineer "VVanzor and the present CUy Xagtooer. Opinion of City Attorney. WHh a -view of securing as much light as posdWe boating upon the situation, Mr. Cogswell Ud that he had solicited City Attorney's opinion in relation thereto, and submitted the following re ply from the municipality's legal adviser. iMMIor date of yesterday: Sa empttanc? rvilii your request for a writ ten epMilew on tbe legality a4 sufficiency of tke Md f the Pacific Brlose Company for the ortroctton f the Irvington district eewer. toe awoid of wMch contract to said company be been reeomnicitded by the committee on tern of the Sxeeutlve Board.

In tttafT bMs for tins clau of work, to In wHb te4r bid Itemized rehcdules of prices for tbe otnerent kinds t work or ma terial te be performed or furnished, find, wMte the apcreiratc amount for the whole eontraet is named In the bid of the con trcur. the jiyiHent has been made upon me basts of deductions and extras, and for the aowal astowtt of work jind material at tbe raten postulated In the Itemized schedules. It woaM appear from the opeclflcatlons pre jared br the City Bnglneer for this contract mat deductions and addltlona are not con templated, and yet sheets containing schedules of price for extra work and material to meet "unforeseen obstacles" are attached to the Mob, which fact may bo claimed by the con trator as a medtAeaUon of the specification a4 ooeieuent calm made by blm of being tMrtttM to allowance for extra work, while no cedweUona for leas work or material than etaated could be made by the city, and It Is therefore JrapowtWe to say whether the Md of the Pacific Bridge Company will aotu any be the lowest price to the property as peeved tor the construction of this sewer. uoteM the contract expressly provides and Uliwlale that neither deductions nor ex tras ahall ba allowed. I am yours very re rreetfutty. L. A. M'NARY, City Attorney. In view of the City Attorney's some what doubtful feeling in the premises, Mr. Cogswell moved that the City Audi tor be asked to return the cortified checks to all the bidders with the exception of the Padfic Bridge Company, and refor the letter's proposal to the committee on. rules, holding that if the specifications wore wrong the Board would have to re advertise anyway. Mr. McPhorson sec onded this motion, whereupon Mr. Peery withdrew his motion to adopt the report of the sewer committee. Dibcuss the Proposition. Mr. Goarin objected to referring the matter to the committee on rules, claim log that they wore in possession of the legal opinion of the City Attornoy, and U. ought to go before the sewer commit tee aprain. it anywhere. He called on City Engineer Taylor for hlB views, and the latts stated that he had examined the bids us woll as he could in the short space of time h had been in office and the slight opportunity allotted him for devoting any considerable attention to the matter on account of pressure of other details, and seemed to think the specifica tions were regular. He had no reason to believe them otherwise, he said: Mr. Peers Inclined to tho theory that if the specifications contained in the bid of the Pacific Bridge Company were faulty. the award ought to go to the next lowest hiddsr. Cogswell explained that his object In having it referred to the committee on rules was to secure the adoption of a rule indicating the future preparation of bids. Mayor Lane States A'iews. At -this point Mayor Lane ventured to miccest that there was a necessity for making some positive rules concerning bids of this character. Either the hid, of the Pacific BrldKo Company was irregu lar and should fie thrown out, he said, of Ire it was conect, and in any event he thought the whole thing ught to he threshed out. Under the present condition of things. If the contractors encountered a rockplle. It -would cost the city a grea ieal for extras, while if they had easy ground all the way, there would be no deductions. In tho opinion of the city's executive, every protection was thrown around the contractors and none around the property-owners or municipality. "There has been -trouble before In this city concerning sewers," remarked Mayor Lane significantly, "and I ddn't want this administration to get mixed up with them." Cogswell explained that while a member of the sewer committee of a former Ex ecutive 'Board, of which A. I Mills was chairman, it was tho custom to make' out bids on forma containing the detailed specifications. ' George W. Simons, manager of the Pa. clflc Bridge Company, appeared before the Board and made a statement, in which he claimed that at the time of making out the bid for the construction of the Irvington district pewcr. he had been iriven tho form at the City Engi neer's office, which he had filled out and submitted as his proposal, and that he was not aware at the time of the neces sity for any additional or detailed state ment, ,and was only apprised of the City Engineer's custom when It was too late to segregate the different items. He thereupon put in a bid on a typewritten form, under the impression that the usual printed form was for ordinary sewers, and the other style for those of excep tional magnitude, similar to the one un der consideration. He pleaded a lack of knowledge as his excuse for the error. Goes to Committee on Rules. City Engineer Taylor corroborated Manager Simons in this respect, and mid: "When the advertisement of the Irving ton district sewer came up, I asked my deputy If he had prepared extra copies of the special form of bid and found that he had not done so properly, as there were no itemized sheets accocropanylng them. I thereupon Instructed him t do so, but Mr. Simons got his blank form before they were prepared." "What object Is gained by putting on those detail sheets?" asked Mr. Gearln. "To govern any changes in the specifica tions," replied City Engineor Taylor. Mr. Gearln thought there was no ques tion as to the validity of the bid. and was of the opinion the Pacific Bridge Company was bound by the plans and specifications of the City Engineer, which are referred to and made a part of the contract, to complete the sewer for the amount of its bid. Without further discussion the roattef was referred to the committee on rules, with authority to furthor Investigate and report at tho regular meeting of the body next Friday. Cltv Engineer Taylor admitted last night that it was something unusual for bids to fall nS.77S.S7 below the Engineer's estimate, as was done in this case, it gen erally being the other way or closely ap proxlmating the Engineer's figures.

Cruelty and Drunkenness Are Other Causes Which Are Most Fre quently Alleged as Ground for Legal Separation. Ororon Commission Asks That Hardt Be Entirely Removed From Jury of Awards. Mayor Lane, on behalf of the City of Portland, yesterday afternoon made for mal application to the Oregon State Com mission for the Forestry building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. In his appli cation, which was authorized by the pass lng of an ordinance. Mayor Lane states that negotiations are now under way for the purchase of an acre or more of the ground under and surrounding the For estry building. Mayor Lane said the price asked for the ground was $7000 an acre. As provided for in the act creating tbe Oregon State Commission, the building will be turned over to the City of Portland upon the close of the Exposition, with the understanding that it Is to become perma nent. Richard Scott, a member of the commit tee appointed to consult with the ofilclals of the Exposition Corporation regarding the erection of a memorial building in Portland, made a verbal report that the corporation had practically decided not to furnish the $60,000 necessary. Secretary Henry E. Reed, when seen last night, said that as yet no formal action had been taken by the corporation as regards the erection of the memorial building, and that it would have to be decided by the board of directors. About J1CO.CO0 is thought nocefisary to erect a memorial building, and the Oregon State Commis sion has Its share. J50.O00, to furnish if the corporation provides a similar amount. The letter from Theodore B. Wilcox, chairman of the committee of exhibits. In which he stated that H. B. Hardt had no connection with the making of awards, was presented to the State Commission. Upon motion, Secretary Glltner was In structed to address a communication to the corporation asking that Hardt be en tirely removed from the Jury of awards. and that in no way should he be connect ed with the awarding of the prizes and medals. Members of the commission were inclined to believe that part of the clerical work in the making of awards still de volved upon Hardt. A recommendation suggesting tnat the bearers of all photo graph passes be allowed admission through the gates, no matter whether they were the original holders or not, was also sent to the corporation. Judce Sears officiated la the divorce court vesterdav and granted decrees In eight cases.

Notwithstanding" the silence of the government, the real fact is disclosed that- Japan made peace at Portsmouth In fear of a finan cial breakdown. The war proved more costly than had been calculated ana the rice and cereal crops seemea doomed to failure. Instead of sunlight and warmth during August, when the. crops ripen, mere was continued rain and exceedingly cool weather. While some Improvement may still be In store. It Is still certain that the rice crop. promises to be from 15 to23 per cent. below tne average ana iar oeiow iasi year's crop, when it was marvelousiy large. Six months moreof war would have meant very hard times, for the masses of the people are very poor and rice Is bread and meat to tnem.

W. P. OREGON CITT BOARD OF TRADE OPPOSING FRANCHISES. Company Controls Four Councllmen, but Taxpayers Hope to Win Today's Election. OREGON CITT, Or., Sept, 23. (Special.) Few political campaigns have been more vigorously waged In Oregon City than the fight against the objectionable freight franchise which Is asked of the City Coun cil by the Oregon Water Power & Railway Company and which will be submitted to a popular vote tomorrow.
