Central Water Committee Hits Upon
New Plan for Giving City Better
Supply 88,000,000 Bon d
Issue Is Contemplated.
1 Property-owners who benefit by water
mains will have to pay an annual front
age tax for the extension of the mains
and the expenditure of S3.000.000 for an
additional pipe-line to Bull Run will be
authorized if the voters at the June elec
tion approve an amendment to the char
ter whjph the central water committee
adopted last mjrht. There will be a gen
eral installation of meters and the city
will be compelled to pay for the water
it uses the same as other consumers.
The central water committee Is com
posed of members of the Water Board and
representatives of different civic improve
ment associations in Portland. The action
of the committee virtually represents the
sentiment of the Water Board and there
in but little doubt that the Council will
ordr tht proposed amendment submitted
to the voters. City Attorney McNary will
egin at once to prepare the amendment
according to the instructions of the com-
1 mittee.
The meeting last night was long and
interesting, as no agreement was arrived
at until after many lengthy wrangles.
1 The greatest disagreement and one that
! threatened to disrupt the meeting was
, over the frontage tax. Lots that are con
tiguous to mains and have mains running
1 in front of thrm win he taxod from 10
' to 12 cents' a front foot a year to raise
about lKKM)ti0 for the extension of mains.
This particular taxation will decrease
every year as the mains are extended.
It la estimated that there are about 50,000
lots that have a 60-foot frontage in Port
land. Frank J. Perkins, secretary of the com
mittee, led the fight against the frontage
tax. but W. O. Haines, of the Holladay
Park Improvement Association, James D.
Hart, of the Water Board, and Council
man Vaughn and others were successful
in carrying the provision.
"The frontage tax won't sfand the test
of law for one minute," shouted Mr.- Per
kins, who became excited. "If we try
to force that on the people the free water
measure will carry by an overwhelming
majority.
"Wo mliiht as well leave if they are
going to insist upon that," declared J.
H. Nolta, a real estate dealer, who
backed up Perkins.
Both Mr. Perkins and Mr. Xolta cooled
down, but they could not be converted.
They were the only ones of about lc
members of the committee to vote against
the frontage tax.
The $3,000,000 for the additional pipeline
and reservoir nyetem will be raised by
a bond isnue, the interest on which will
be paid out of the general fund of the
city. It will cost approximately $200,000
to install motcrp. and thia sum will be
rained by a bond issue, the interest on
which will also be met by appropriation
out of the general fund of the city.
The income of the Water Department
will be atufflclenl to mtikt the extensions
for this year that are contemplated, but
the &X,000 planned to be raieed by a
frontage tax will be used for next year
it the amendment meets the approval of
the voters.
The frontage tax will affect every prop-trty-owner
in the city who has the ad
vantage of mains. A lot with a 50-foot
fronlaff will op taxed from J5 to K a
year. T-ols that do tint have mains in
front of them will not be taxed on the
frontage basis.
It is expected that about $100,000 will
be derived from the city. Wherever the
city usee water meters will be intalled
and tire hydrants will be charged $5 a
montn.
It is believed that the charge to the
consumers will be materially decreased
if ne amendment to the charter carries
as planned by the committee,- and by
'some It is said that It will amount to
practically free water. The burden will
be placed almost entirely upon the property-owner
and the consumers wHl have
to pay only the interest on the bonds
now outstanding and the cost of operation
and maintenance of the system.
Faro Layout Found;
Who Is Owner?
(Gambling PnrHphrrnnlla Dlnrov
vrrd by Alataot Chief Holdrn
in Fire Enictne Hooae at Sell
wood. "WHOSE faro layout?" th
Vr question which Is agitating
the minds of Pell wood people and Bat
talion Chief Holden, since the latter
found It complete stored away In the
firemen's orpine house at Sellwood.
Wednesday Mr. Holden began the work
of changing the interior of the. build
ing: for the hose company soon, to oc
cupy the structure. In a dark cor
ner the carpenters found something
they never saw before. They did not
know -what the contrivance was, and
showed it to Mr. Holden, who recog
nixed it as a faro layout. How it got
into the building and who used it is
the question that nobody has answered
satisfactorily.
The layout did not appear to have
been used very lately, as it was cov
ered with dust and cobwebs. None of
the volunteer firemen ever heard of it,
and members of the Women's Auxili
ary scorn the Idea that they ever had
anything to do with It. Mr. Holden
says that If the owner of this faro lay
out will call he can have it and no
question will be asked.

Injf M.iteh Between Olma Dranija
and Carabin Gossip About
Other Local Men.
Olma Dranga. Julian Hughes, and E.
D. Smith, who will represent Multnomah
Club in the Northwest boxing ami wrest
ling tournament, which opens at Spokane
tomorrow, will, .leave . .tonight for the
Eastern Washington metropolis. Box
ins In&tructor Fred Rennit'k will have
chargre of the boys on the trip and dur
ing their stay in Spokane.
Dranga lacks but one pound of being
down to the required weight, as he tipped
the beam at exactly 126 last nt!?ht. He
worked out for several hours with Nicken
last night and there is no doubt about his
being able to make the required weight.
The main topic of discussion in the gym
nasium at the club last night was the
coming contest between Dranga and Car
abin. The Spokane lad who fought the
mighty Xloken such a game fight has a
large number of admirers in the local
club. By his gameness and sportsman
like conduct young . Carabin won the
hearts of Multnomah's most ardent sup
porters. Whether he will be able to Jand
the wild rieht swing on Dranga that sent
Xicken to the floor, is a question yet to
be settled. Dranga is a cautious, cool and
nervy boxer and is not apt to step reck
lessly Into the Spokane boxer's dream
producer. While Dranga is much faster
and shiftier than Carabin, his punches,
however, lack the steam of the Spdkane
man. This match is attracting more at
tention than any other match scheduled
for the Northwest meet.
Julian Hughes is down to weight and in
kthe best of condition. Ray Stansbury,
who lost to Hughes in the recent SJpo-kane-MuItnomah
meet, has announced his
intention of taking another chance at
tli crack Multnomah feather-weight, but
it is not generally believed that he will
be able to make as good a showing as in
his last contest with Hughes. Just how
many entries will be made for each event
Is not yet known., but there will prob
ably be only one aspirant besides Hughes
and Stansbury for the Uopound wrest
ling championship.
E. D. Smith, who will represent the
local club in the 125-pound wrestling class,
has made the required weight but is re
ported to be somewhat weak from the
effort to make weight. Iess than a week
ago he was many pounds over the limit
and has been compelled to over-exert
hlmeelf to make the class. With one day
to recover, however, he should be able to
go on, the mat In good condition.
The preliminaries in all the classes will
take place tomorrow and the finals the
day following. - To the winner of each
class a handsome gold medal emblematic
of the championship of the Northwest will
be presented.
BUTTE TO LOSE BALL TEAM
If So, Bcllinghuin Hopes to Secure
Husa Hall's Nine.
BKLl-lXGHAM. Wash.'. March IS. (Spe
cial.) The prolonged labor strike In Butte
and the appearance of another strike
within the last week will probably- result
in Bellingham getting Russ Hall's Butte
Northwestern League team. 'Belltngham
has offered to post J5000 for a league team
placed here.
It is declared by friends of President
W. H. Lucas in Taeoma that Bellingham's
opportunity for getting the Butte aggre
gation is very god. It is not believed in
Bellingham and Tacoma that, with so
many thousands of laborers out of em
ployment. Butte could maintain a team,
for the laboring classes give baseball in
Butte its chief support.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
March 17. (Special.) Manager McCarty
received a ' letter from D. D. Sales, the
Stanford . manager, accepting Oregon's
terms for a meet to be held In Eugene
during the first week of May. The final
date is not yet decided, for an effort is
being made to. arrange with the business
men of the city for a satisfactory day on
which they will close the town, but the
meet will probably come on Friday or
Saturday, May 3 or 4.
- In order to win from the Stanford team
Trainer Hayward will need every man of
athletic ability in the university, and
will have to develop some first-place
athletes in the distances. "
With Jvelly in the sprints and broad
jump and with McKinney, Hug and
Zackarlas in the weights the varsity
counts on 30 points. The high hurdles
will likely go to Stanford, but Oregon
will take points in the .low. hurdles, in
the pole vault and possibly 'in the half
mile and the mile run.
Without doubt the meet will be close,
but Stanford will suffer the handicap of
a tiresome railroad journey, while the
Oregon athletes will have tile advantage
of the home 'grounds. Since the announce
ment that the meet with the California
team haRbeen finally arranged, the track
candidates .have expressed their inten
tion of redoubling training and doing
the best possible to win out.
The retirement of George Prideaux from
college for the remainder of the year has
hurt tne strength of the Oregon team,
for Prldeaux was a fast man in the 440
yard dash last year, running almost neck
and neck with the speedy Greenhaw, of
Corvallls, at the Salem meet. Prideaux
was forced to give up college because of
nervous attacks which became too severe
to permit active work..

holding out for more money. Manager Mc

McCredie got Betzel from the , Western

a week (or $ti a month) secures choice.
