The new law tor laying- water main ha caused imm complications, as Illustrated by the situation on Tillamook street, and also In Alomavllla. Tillamook street Is to be Im proved wllh hard-surface pavement, and the property-owners asked for a six-Inch main before) the new way of paying- for mains by assessing- the property-owners went Into effect- Now there Is a dis position to apply the new law to the cost of laying- this main, to which the people object. They ask that the pipe be put rloin under the old plan as their appli cation was made before the new law was In force. It will make a difference of about HO each for the property-owners on the street. In Montavilla application was made for water mains that will cost Ila.0. but the work Is being deferred pending the decision whether the people or the 'Water Committee will have to pay the cost. It is understood that where the mains had been provided for under the old method of paying for them, they can still be laid under original rules. Objections are being- raised to the new method of charging the cost to the abutting property, as Is done where sewers are laid, and an effort will be made to repeal at least a. portion of the new law. GKTTIXO HlOH SCHOOL READY. The East Side High School buildinir is being made ready for the opening. Much work has been done both on the structure end on the grounds. Stone walls have been built around the. grounds on Kast Stark and East Fourteenth sides, and the main entrance on East Fourteenth street has been completed. On the north side of the building tire escapes have been placed. During the Summer the manual training department has been used to manufacture articles for the trade school. The library room has been fitted up. and stairs have been built to the roof of the building so It may be used for observations. East Stark street has been improved to Grand avenue, giving an excellent thoroughfare to the building. Between the High and Central schoolhouses the space is covered . with weeds, which will disappear quickly when nearly 2000 pupils run over them. From present Indications the East Side High School will be crowded this year. Consider Street Widening.

A delegation was present from the North Albina Improvement Associa tion to ask co-oporation of their neighbors In Multnomah In getting Albina avenue made 70 feet wide from Goldsmith "'If south and the Columbia boulevard. The sentiment of those present was favorable to the widening, but it was not con sidered advisable to take action as no property-owners were present.

START WORK AT KENWOOD swifts' ready to begin erec tion OF dwellings. Construction of Town Near Site ol Tacking Plant on Peninsula Soon Under Way. Within a few days construction of a number of dwellings and offices will be started on the townsite of Kenwood, which lies almost directly south of the Union Meat Company's packing-house site on the Peninsula. The Kenwood Land Company Is the holding company of both the platted tract and the ground on which the packing houses are to be built, the Swifts owning controlling interests in the company. 1 D. Stephenson has arrived In Portland, commissioned by the general officers of the company, to begin building operations on the townsite. and said yesterday that about 20 dwelling houses would be un dertaken at once, the material to be ce ment brick made in the neighborhood of the tract. A large number of frame houses will be built also, present Inten tions indicating something like 200 of these. . These dwellings, when completed, will first be offered to employesof the Union Meat Company, and If not all taken by them will be offered to any who may de sire to rent them. The houses are to be of from live to seven rooms each and will be constructed with a view of having a model town In the vicinity of the pack ing plant. Work Is going on in preparation of the grounds for the meat company's build ings on the Slough, and officers of the company say from this time on there will be no cessation of work until the whole plant Is completed. Among realty- men the announcement that over 2U0 buildings were to be started about the same time in one locality is a record that has not been approached here, even In the face of phenomenal building operations in other districts of the city. The average cost of the cement block buildings is estimated at J3000 each and that of the frames -at approximately JitiOO each. BUILDING TO COST $35,000 Printing Company Will Occupy Structure at Fifteenth and Gllsan. Following the movement of commercial printing-houses from downtown to up town locations, the Irwin-Hodson Com pany is to occupy a building at tho southwest corner of Fifteenth and Glisan streets as soon as the structure can bo erected. Final papers were signed yesterday be tween George F. Thompson, trustee, and Llpman, Wolfe & Co. for the quarter block referred to for a consideration of fcS.000. Llpman. Wolfe & Co. Intend to begin at once the preliminary plans for the erection of a two-story brick build ing to occupy the 100x100 feet, following plans prepared some time ago by Archi tect W. C. Knighton for the printing tlrm, when It had decided to negotiate for a similar site. As there are only minor improvements on the ground at present, only a few days will be necessary to clear the site for excavators. A full basement will be finished and the building will be con structed with reference to the require ments of the tenants. A lease of the new premises was closed yesterday for a term of 15 years, the figure" being with held for the presenL On a rough esti mate the building will cost about J35.000. ARCHITECTS FILE PROTEST Demand Made on Board of Educa tion for View of Designs. At a special meeting of the Board of Education, held yesterday afternoon, the directors discussed the report of Archi tect Somervelle, of Seattle, who assisted In the award of prises for the designs on the projected Albina High School. Certain local architects have appealed to the Board for a glimpse of this docu ment, which has thus far been refused. The architects have gone Into court to compel the directors to exhibit it. A meeting will be held next Tuesday after noon, at which definite action on this matter is expected.

BELGIAN BLOCKS WANTED Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. Must Hurry Improvement On Its Lines Through out City. An attempt Is to be made by the Executive Board to compel the Port land Railway. Light & Power Company to proceed more rapidly with street Improvement work throughout the city, especially on First street between Washington and Yamhill, this pave ment being In what TL L. Sabin yester day designated "a scandalous condi tion." He was presiding at the street committee meeting, and instructed City Engineer Taylor to notify the company officers to take Immediate action. 'I do not wish to be ugly In the mat ter." said Mr. Sabin, "but I want those people reached if there Is any way to reach them, and if It Is necessary to put a nail In the end of the lash, so to speak, to make them hurry along with their Improvement work." There Is not the best of feeling be tween the railway corporation and the city, and especially does this hold true with regard to street Improvement work. President Josselyn recently sent a letter to the Mayor, the Council and Executive Board, notifying them of a decision rendered by himself and as sociates, to object to all proposed street Improvements, unless made strictly in accordance with the franchises con trolled by the company. Heretofore, the company has been laying Belgian blocks between its tracks on all hard-surface pavement Jobs, and one foot on the outside of the outer rails. Henceforth, according to the order of Mr. Josselyn, the company will refuse to lay anything between Its rails, save the same kind of material with which the street Is paved. This letter created considerable com ment In official circles and Just what will be done about it, as far as the city officials are concerned, remains to be seen. Some Indication may be noted this afternoon, when the City Council's committee on streets will meet. There are a number of petitions for Improve ments to come up at that time. Councilman Kellaher Is expected to have something to say on the subject and it may be that ho will try to se cure action to force the company to lay Belgian blocks in all hard-surface streets, as formerly.
