TO REFUSE WORK
OF GONTI
Thompson-Street Curbing and
Sidewalks Not to Be Ac
cepted by Board.
SWETT TO MAKE REPORT
EKH-nUve Board Members Go on In
rrstigating Tour and Are Said to
Find Very Bad Conditions.
Contractors Are Disturbed.
Thompson-street eurblnir and 1Je-
walks. from East Tenth to East Twenty
Ixth utreeta. will not be accepted by
the City Executive Board under the new
regime, as was evidenced by a premature
motion by Ineac Swett, at a special
Board meeting yesterday afternoon.
Swett Is chairman of a committee
named by Mayor Lane to Investigate the
matter, and without submitting a formal
written report, started to make a motion
to reconsider the acceptance of the work
although It had been officially accepted
by Cliy Engineer Taylor and the Ex
ecutive Board, upon recommendation of
the old street committee, of which
Robert L. Sabln was the chairman. Mr.
Pahln Is said to have resigned from the
Rnant because of a severe rebuke from
the Mayor.
Fight on Pacific Bridge Company,
While Miller & Bauer are the con
tractors In this case, the contract was
first let to the Pacific Bridge Company,
which laid the bitulithic pavement on
Thompson street, and employed the
other firm to lay the curts ana siae-w-alks.
It Is therefore regarded as a
continuation of the fight between Mayor
I-ane and the Pacific Bridge Company.
which Is said to have caused the resigna
tion of Mr. - Sabln.
An adjourned session of the Execu
tive Board will be held this afternoon, at
which action on the Thompson-street
matter will be taken, and It Is deemed
certain that Mr. Swett will submit a
written report. In which he will say. In
effect, that the curbing and the sidewalks
re exceptionally poor work, and that lie
will recommend reconsideration of the
acceptance.
Contractors Greatly Disturbed.
This attitude on the part of the Board
has created a genuine sensation among
the contractors of the city, as It indicates
that there Is apt to be any amount of
trouble all along the line. While an
effort has been made to keep the matter
oulet until a little later. It was ascer
tained late yesterday afternoon that at
least three nwmbers of the Executive
Board were out for several hours yester
day, testing curbs and sidewalks In
various sections of the city and that they
fonnd much poor work.
Mayor Lane declares that It is his
purpose to determine to a certainty In
future, without necessarily relying upon
ny reports from the City Engineer, that
contracts have been properly fulfilled,
before the E-xecutlve Board accepts
them. Tn the case of Thompson street,
the Board had accepted the work and the
warrants had been drawn and were sent
to Mayor Ijne for his signature before
It was decided to Inspect the work. This
wss brought about by complaints from
citizens.
STRIKE BLOW ST PLUMBERS
COTTEIj WOILD I.KT CITIZENS
I0 THEIK OWN WORK.
Will Endeavor to Amend Ordinance
but Will Provide for In.-pcction
by City Official.
Councilman Cottel. of the Fifth
Ward, announced yesterday that he
will make a fight in the Council for a
revision of the plumbing ordinance. He
will contend that the law should be
amended so as to permit every one to
put In his own plumbing, provided it
Is done under the supervision of the
plumbing inspector and ts accepted by
him when completed. This effort is
certain to cause protest from the
plumbers, as at present they have a
monopoly of the business, and no one
can do any such work without their
sanction.
"I can see no good reason why the
master plumbers should have a monop
ly of the plumbing business." said Dr.
Cottel. "and I am going to demand a
revision of the present ordinance,
which gives them the exclusive right
to do the work. 1 am of the opinion
that the ordinance needs to be taken
up and revised In some way that will
give the public a chance to do plumb
ing, under the supervision of the
plumbing Inspector, and make it bis
duty to pass upon all plumbing. Why
should the master plumbers be privi
leged to monopolize the business?
There Is no reason at ail. And while
the plumbing inspector Is supposed to
Inspect and pass upon all plumbing at
present. I venture to say that there
is a lot of It done that he never hears
about."
Plumbing Inspector Hey. when in
terviewed about the ordinance, exhibit
ed a report made by him to the City
Council in 19"5. declaring the present
plumbing ordinance to be very bad;
that it conflicts tn its provisions, and
stands In great need of complete
revision.
Three years have rolled by, however,
and there has been no revision, al
though a committee of the Council was
appointed In 190S for the purpose of
making an Investigation. It seems the
committee members were unable to
uree upon any ordinance, and appar
ently dropped the whole matter.
Ir. Cottel has not fully decided upon
the means he will employ in making
his fight for the public In this In
stance, but it Is believed he will In
troduce an ordinance of his own. and
endeavor to secure Its passsage. An-
tner way would be to introduce a
resolution calling for a special commit
tee on revision to change the present
law. In view of the inactivity of the
other committee, however, it Is thought
probable he will choose the first-named
means.
VARDAMAN SENDS MESSAGE
Governor Chamberlain KecelTes
G recline From Old Home Siate.
Greetings from his native State of
Mississippi met Governor George E.
Cbamberlain on his arrival at his law
office In the Chamber of Commerce
ballding. yesterday afternoon. They
came from another distinguished Mis-
CTORS
slssipplan and fellow-Governor. James
K. Vardaman. Henry I- MacMahon,
business manager of "The Clansman
Company at the Heillg Theater next
week, was the bearer of the message.
"Ex-Governor Vardaman presents his
compliments." said Mr. MacMahon. "and
hopes that you will see and enjoy the
play that he championed in the South."
"I read The Clansman and liked it."
responded Mr. Chamberlain. "So you
wish me to come Thursday night? I
have no engagements for that evening,
and I shall be pleased to accept your
Invitation, probably for Thursday.
"I met Governor Vardaman," con
tinued the Chief Executive, "four years
ago in St. Louis at the Mississippi Con
gress. He is a versatile character. By
the way, what is he doing nowT I
am also well acquainted with the pres
ent Governor Noel and with Congress
man John Sharp Williams, who defeat
ed Mr. Vardaman for the Senatorship.
With all respect to Vardaman. I am
inclined to think Mr. Williams will
make a safer Senator, as he is more
conservative and less given to stirring
up strife."
Then Governor Chamberlain chatted
remlnlscently of his early days In
Natches, Miss., which he left 32 years
ago to take advantage of the oppor
tunities In the newly-opened West. He
displayed close familiarity with the
politics of his native state, and has
evidently kept In touch with all the so
cial. Industrial and political movements
of the New South.
Dr. Chamberlain, the Governor's son.
Is a friend of Austin Webb, the actor
who originated the role of the mulatto
Lieutenant-Governor In "The Clans
man" and who Is remembered In Port
land stock. This negro character had
a prototype in Mlssisssippt, a black
man who actually became Lieutenant
Governor of the state during the re
construction regime.
VIEWERS FOR EAST THIRD
STREET COMMITTEE PROPOSES
TO OPEN THOROUGHFARE.
George Shepherd, for Inman-Poul-
fecn Company, Protests Sharply
Against Action by Council.
George S. Shepherd. ex-Councilman and
lawyer, defied the whole street committee
of the Council, with Councilman Rueh
light in the chair, yesterday afternoon
when the committee voted to appoint
viewers for the opening of East Third
street, from East Market street to the
Willamette River. Mr. Shepherd was
representing the Inman-Poulsen Lumber
Company, which Is vitally affected. After
the vote was taken. It being adverse to
the interests of the corporation, Mr.
Shepherd continued to protest, but was
called to order by Mr. Rushlight.
"You are out of order. Mr. Shepherd,"
shouted Mr. Rushlight, rapping with the
gavel.
"But the committee la going at this
blindly," replied Mr. Shepherd, heatedly.
'Come to order," again shouted Mr.
Rushlight.
1 defy the committee to produce any
one except Mr. Kellaher and Mr. Rush
light who wants the street opened," con
tinued Mr. Shepherd.
The greatest confusion prevailed, and
every one tried to talk, but Mr. Rush
light ordered Clerk Grutze to proceed
with the reading of the next item of busi
ness, which was done.
Councilmen Kellaher and Rushlight,
who live on the East Side, have been
endeavoring for two years to open up
some of the streets which are claimed
ail. the property of the mill company. It
has resulted in a great contest between
the city and company, and bids fair to
be a long fight. The committee having
recommended the appointment of viewers
for Eist Third street, brings the matter
up to the Council, where it Irs sure to
cause a lively debate. Councilman Dris-
coll openly opposed the appointment of
viewers, and declared that he sees no
need of opening the street. He Intimated
that it is simply a bit of activity on the
part of Messrs. Kellaher and Rushlight
to force the mill company off the prop
erty. This they both denied, saying that
only the city's interests prompt their
action.

fuses to Accept Terms.
PROVISIONS TOO DRASTIC
Oskar Huber, Engineer, Say His
Company Will Xot Bo Bound by
Terms of TTntted Railways
Franchise Matter Tabled.
The Portland Hallway, Light &
Power Company positively refuses to
accept franchises for Una extensions
throughout the city, which contain the
same provisions Incorporated Into the
United Railways Company franchise,
granted by the Council within recent
months. This declaration was made to
the members of the Council committee
on streets yesterday afternoon by
Oskar Huber, constructing engineer of
the corporation. The matter came up
over the application for franchises for
line across the Peninsula district to
the great Swift packing houses, and on
Kast Fifteenth street, in the Broadway
district.
Councilman Kellaher held out for the
Incorporation of all the stringent reg
ulations contained In the United Kail
ways franchise, until Mr. Huber, dur
ing the discussion of the East Fif
teenth-street grant, said:
Franchise Flatly Refused.
'There Is no use reading over the
franchise at all, for we will not accept
it. and you may as well save the time.
I will say now that we are not pattern
ing our business after the United Rail
ways Company, and that we will cer
tainly refuse any franchise like that.
w rtnm't mind having our hands tied.
but we do object to having both hands
and feet tied."
It seems to me that If It is lair to
the United Railways Company, it is
fair for your company, repneo. air.
Kellaher.
The committee, however, acting upon
the statement of Mr. Huber, placed the
proposed franchise for East Fifteenth
street In the box, and passed on to
other business.
Objects to Pouble Track.

to the packing-houses now being con
structed on the Peninsula, the. commit
tee considered the provisions df the
proposed franchise for the extension,
although the streets over which It Is to
run have not been designated as yet.
The franchise was ordered sent to the
Council, which will meet next Wednes
day, and it is certain that there will be
a light over the provisions when the
matter comes up there. Inasmuch as
the regulation of fares and traffic and
provision for free sprinkling of streets,
are incorporated and the company re
fuses to accept such stringent rules, it
is anticipated that these features will
be eliminated by a majority of the Coun
cil, and that the franchise will be or
dered sent to the Executive Board for
appraisement.
Mr. Huber declared again yesterday
that his company does not care
whether It sets the franchise or not;
that the people alone are affected.
Councilman Kellaher, however, said
that such is not the case; that the com
pany "is eager to get the franchise
now under consideration.'
