Water Shortage Continues. W. J.
Burden, president of the Montavilla Im
provement league, yesterday said that
the water shortage In that suburb con
tinues mornins and evening, in spite of
complaints made. Mr. Burden insists
there Is no question but that tlieT Mount
Tabor Water Company, which receives
Bull Run water at meter rates from the
water committee, reduces the flow at cer
tain hours in the morning and evening.
About dark in tha evening the supply Is
shorter than even before Bull Run was
being supplied, and Mr. Burden gives it
as his opinion that the flow is reduced at
the Intake for no other reason than to
lessen the cost of water. During July this
shortage was not noticeable, he says, but
conditions have become worse Instead of
better. There is but a small pipe connec
tion to the upper Mount Tabor reservoir,
and when this is still further reduced the
supply is very small, so the people aver.
There seems no relief until the Portland
Water Committee lays a main to Monta
villa and supplies the people direct.
Loses Suit For Commission. The trial
of the lawsuit of W. C. Aylesworth to
recover $50 claimed for commission against
William and Millie G. Perkins, was heard
yesterday- morning In Justice Olson's
court. Aylesworth alleged In his complaint
that he secured a contract to sell lots 17
and 18, block 7, Mansfield Addition, for 5
per cent commission. and he was also to
receive all that he sold the property for
above (800. , He set forth that he secured
a purchaser for $850; that defendants gave
him (40 commission, but refused to pay
the other $50. The defendants asserted
that the purchaser only paid $64 in all on
the property, and then threw up the bar
gain, and for that reason the sale was
not consummated at all. hence Aylesworth
should not collect the remaining $50. De
cision of the court was for the defendants.
Secures Iron For Buildino. J. M.
Healey, who is putting up the brick build
ing on the southwest corner of East Mor
rison street and Grand avenue, announces
that he has at last secured Iron enough to
start work on his building. The concrete

ment. Watches Burglar Search Room. W.
H. Williamson, son of Dr. W. T. William
son, watched a burglar Bearch through
his belongings early yesterday morning at
his home at 54 North Eighteenth street,
and made no objection. A big revolver,
