MAYOR LANE GIVES VIEWS Committee Appointed to Consider AVI tit Water Board Xestred Amend ments to Charter for Submission to People at June Election. After a leng-thy discussion of the water question at a mass meeting- last night in Oddfellows' Hall, Grand avenue, called by the East Side Business Men's Club, and attended by delegates from all sec tions of the East side, the Mayor and members of the Water Board, it was de cided to refer the matter to a committee composed of one member from each push club. This committee will act with the Water Board in the preparation or such amendments to the charter as conditions demand. This action was the outgrowth "of the numerous suggestions that were made by those who addressed the meeting. Mayor lne was the first speaker. He comment ed at length on the splendid quality of Bull Run water and the advantage it Is to Portland in making this the healthiest city in the United States. He reviewed the work of the "Water Commissioners In the past, and then remarKed that con- dltions had changed and methods must be changed to meet tho new conditions. The Mayor said that the present method of paying" for the extension of mains la not fair, for the reason it taxes the home builder to build up and &td value to vacant lands. There axe other ways that would be more fair, either to ta.3c the abutting property, or tax a district for the distribution system or pay the whole cost by general taxation. He did not recommend either plan. Favors Meter Kates. In speaking of the waste of water the Mayor said that not more than 8.000.O00 gallons of water per day are really needed in Portland at present, and that the re mainder is wasted. Mayor Lane spoke of the present rates, and" ejfyressed the opinion that while they are probably as Just as it is possible to make them, the meter plan is the fairest, as it would make every consumer pay for Just what he uses and no more. He also declared himself in favor of" making every vacant lot pay a Bhare of the cost of laying water mains and maintaining- the water plant. Dr. S. Joseph!, who has long been a member of the Water Board paid a tribute to the men who had handled tho plant,' and declared that they had given the City service It could not have secured at any price, but conditions have changed and other methods must be adopted. He showed that the distribution system cost Jl,3&6,000 and that $700,000 had been spent In acauirine local plants. 'He then fle- clared that every lot tributary to a water main, vacant or occupied, should pay an annual tax for extension and other pur- pOSCS, additional to the regular rates charged for water. He made a vigorous argument for this plan, and also that the charter should be so amended as to compel the Council to levy a tax of 3-io or B-io of a mill to pay for water used by the city, and pointed to the fact that the city owes the water department $00,0v0 whlcn It refuses to pay. rr. Joseph! also spoke in favor of submitting the question of laying a second pipe line to -Bull Run. declaring that action should be taken at once in order to get this conduit completed in 1909. W. O. Haines, of Irvington. spoke against the free water Idea. declaring there could be no such a thing. He advocated the . meter plan as most equitable for all concerned and favored a second Bull Run pipe line. Frank 3. Perkins then introduced the following resolution: Text of Resolution. "Whereas, There is a measure before the DPnnle of the City Of rortland tending to the changing of the method of procuring funds to pay tor the 'laying- of watr mainl and It has baen .ucsMMd by some tn.t said funds be raised by assessing the abut ting property, same ft9 Is now done to PaJ for the laying- of ewrn. Resolved, That it la the decision ot tills meeting that it Is unjust and impracticable to expect the owners of abutting property to pay for water mains laid in front of It anl tnat we will do all In our jo wer to do Teat trio consummation of such an injustice. but realising that a cbanice should be mad recommend the bonding Of the city in such sum as will be necessary for the bet terment or tho present water supply sys tem ana the extending; of mains. Whitney LU Boise spoke tor the resolu tion, and for a second pipeline to Bull Run. IDr. "William Deveny, of Mont a villa, spoke for the adoption ot the resolution. G, W. Allen, or the Water Board, Bald that the adoption ot the resolution would As the resolution did not cover all the grounds, although apparently favored by the meeting. It was' referred to a commit tee of one from each push club to amend and to confer with the Water Board in preparing amendment to the charter, This committee will report to another mass meeting to be called as soon as the report is ready. Presidents of the clubs VHl appoint a member ot the committee from each club. H. I. Wagnon. of the Free-Water Asso ciation, was present, but said nothing- out side of a few questions he asked of the speakers. At the close of the meeting he announced that there would be a free water meeting? In the same hall In 2ast Portland as soon as it could -be arranged for. 8.3Q FRIDAY MORNING.
