Mernbers of Street Committee) Say Paving Companies Should Keep Streets Repaired Free. "The maintenance charge of t 1-3 cents per square yard for hard-surface Improvements for a term of ten years is simply a gigantic graft, for which the paving companies give absolutely noth ing in return, and which is getting to be a burden too great to be borne by the people of Portland." declared Council man Vaughn, chairman of the street committee, at the meeting of the com mittee yesterday afternoon. "The cltv should abolish this system and instead make the paving companies guarantee to maintain their work for a period of years at their own expense, and free the taxpayers from this graft now exacted by charter provision: a graft of the most unwarranted kind, and one which Is so great that prop-erty-ownera are groaning under it all the time.' This statement by Mr. Vaughn was followed by the adoption of a resolution by the committee Instructing City En gineer Taylor to eliminate the special names of Ingredients and copyrighted patent articles from future specifica tions furnished for hard-surface street Improvements by him, so that the con tractors can bid in open competition. This is said to forecast a big fight be tween the Barber Asphalt Paving Com pany and the Warren Construction Company, as against the Hassam Pav ing Company, a new concern. Just start ing in Portland. Oskar Huber. representing- the Barber Asphalt Paving Company and the Port land Railway. Light A Power Company, speaking "as a private citizen." declared with CouHcllman Vaughn that the tax payers should be relieved of the main tenance tolls, but he prophesied that higher rates for hard-surface streets will be the rule. If the charter provis ions are changed and the companies forced to maintain their own work. He acknowledged that the maintenance fees are nothing more nor less than a big contribution to the paving com panies, and said he would be glad to see the change effected. As to whether they will bid on speci fications under the new plan of elimi nation of the various "patent" names, such as "Warren's httulithic." "asphalt" or "Hassam," the City Engineer is or dered simply to specify the ingredients, and make it possible for all contractors to bid for the work. "We can try It this way. and if they refuse to bid. we can order the Improve ments laid bv the city." said Chairman Vaughn. "Then if they enjoin the city we will fight It out In the courts and wait for the result; if the suit goes against us. then we can refuse to have anything to do with the "patent" pave ments." Tills plan Is most radical, and great Interest attaches to the outcome. In the past all hard-surface Improvements have been specified by name in the City Engineer's estimate, and it Is contended by Councilman Kellaher and others that It Is directly contrary to law for any of the three "patent" brands to be laid, as the charter Is very plain in stating that all bids must be open and com petitive. PHILIP UETSCHM HOME RETURNS FROM EUROPEAN TRIP OF 16 MONTHS. Visited Birthplace in Germany and With Part or Family Made Tour of Principal Countries. Philip Metschan, former State Treas urer of Oregon, and proprietor of the Imperial hotel. In connection with his Bona, arrived home last night from his first trip to European countries since his arrival In this country in 1854.

After leav ing Italy they went to Kgypt and went up the Nile with a Cook excursion to Assouan, the site of the great dam, the ancient temples and pyramids. Returning, they came to Vienna, where they spent two weeks and found that Austrian city to be beautiful and Interesting. They also went to Buda pest h. which Mr. Metschan thinks is one of the most beautiful cities he saw on his trip. Like other travelers abroad, they found Dresden and other cities in Saxony of particular Interest on account of the art galleries.

They made the trip through the Black Forest to Trlberg. and the mountains adjacent, leaving via Straussbourg to Paris, where they remained six weeks.
