WOULD KEEP ALLBfDS OPEN
CITY EXGIXEER TO ELIMINATE
"PATENT" PAVING.
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.
Accompanying Mr. Metschan in his
trip abroad, which embraced about 16
months, were Mrs. Metschan. Miss Lil
lian and Miss Pansy Metschan. Upon
arriving on the other side of the At
lantic they first went to Mr. Met
schan's birthplace. the village of
Schenklengsfeld. In Germany, after
which the traveling party made a tour
through several countries.
Leaving Germany, they went to
Switzerland and visited the principal
cities. They then proceeded to Italy,
visiting Genoa. Rome. Naples. Flor
ence. Milan and Venice. 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. After
some time spent In Saxony they re
turned to Berlin and spent six weeks
there, and In making side trips. They
were there during the army maneu
vers. June 1. and saw the assembled
royal families. They made the trip
through the Black Forest to Trlberg.
and the mountains adjacent, leaving
via Straussbourg to Paris, where they
remained six weeks.
Mr. Metschan says. that Paris Is a fine
city, but that In his opinion Berlin is
the cleanest city In Europe, the parks
especially being kept In a most perfect
order.
They then came back to London and
made trips through Scotland and Ire
land, visiting the principal points of
Interest. They sailed on October 17
for the homeward trip and arrived
In New York October 26. They left
the metropolis October 30 and stopped
in Kansas City election day.
Mr. Metschan said that he had an
exceedingly pleasant and entertaining
trip, but was well pleased to get back
to Portland and Oregon, where he ex
pects to end his days All the Met
schans in Oregon were at the Union
station to meet the head of the fam
ily, including some that had come into
the world since his departure.
