Water Main Compijcatio. 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.

session of the Multnomah Improvement
Club was held In the hall on Mississippi

In Multnomah In getting Albina avenue
made 70 feet wide from Goldsmith "'If

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. Further
consideration of the matter was con
tinued until Wednesday night. Septem
ber 1. when an effort will be made to
secure the attendance of property-owners
from Albina avenue.

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.

DELAY VEXES BOARD
City Officials Demand More
Rapid Street Work.
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.
