WOULD OUST HIM FROM JOB Council Said Not to Like Way He Has Enforced Building Ordi nancesCouncil to Consider Vetoes of Mayor Lane. The City Council will meet in regular session at 9:30 o'clock this morning, after holding an all-day meeting yesterday. Many matters of Importance are on the list for today, one of which is the veto of Mavot Lane on the so-called elght-Inch-walls ordinance, which. In brief, allows thinner walls in brick buildings outside the Are limits: There Is also a new ordinance to be considered, which is said to he aimed chiefly at Building In spector Dobson. It defines the duties of that office and specifies that the inspec tor must have had at least ten years of actual experience. As Mr. Dobson has had but eight, it is regarded as being designed to oust him: Building Inspector Dobson has been very stringent in enforcing all the ordin ances, so much so that he has offended some Councilnien. it is said. This is espe cially true in the case of State Senator Nottingham, who secured from the Coun cil a special permit to build a frame structure of considerable proportions in the, fire limits. Mr. Dobson fought this action so stubbornly that it resulted' in a written opinion from City Attorney Kava naugh. holding that special permits are without authority of law. None have been Issued since. The incident, however, caused much bitterness against Mr. Dob son. When the proposed thin-wall ordinance was under consideration by the Council committee on health and police, and when It went to the Council. Mr. Dobson ap posed It. but It passed. Mayor Lane vetoed It. In support of his position in the matter. Mr. Dobson wrote to many building Inspectors and fire chiefs throughout the country, and haa received replies from several. All aro strongly opposed to thin brick walls, and unhesi tatingly d)enounce sucn ieginuu. The following letter is from Walter Lips. Chief. of the Los Angeles Fire De partment: In reply to yours of November 13. wl!" sav that we do not permit eight-inch fcricR walls to go higher than one story, and under no consideration would we permit an ordinance to be passed allowing such construction. They are very dangerous in case of Are and if I am properly Informed. It was Just such construction which caused the death of poor-Chief Sullivan, of San Francisco, during the first shock of the r quake. -He slept In an engine-house, ad joining a hotel, which towered over his roof; this eight-Inch wall fell through the roof of the engine-house and crushed ills bed. so that he died a few days later. I handed your letter to our building Inspec tor. J J. Backus, who also denounced it. I can' plainly see that this has been put throudh your Council by people desiring to put up cheap construction, regardless of human life. I ee this letter anywhere you desire, as an opponent of such construction. P. H. S-haughnessy. Chief of the San Francisco Fire Department, opposed the proposition in general, and concluded by saying: We had an actual experience in this matter three years back, when the side walls of a two-story brick building, in which the fire was in progress, fell out on the roof of a two-story frame adjoining It, and. crushing through the roof thereof, killed three firemen, who were on the top of the frame building. I am entirely op posed to any ordinance requiring only eight-Inch walls. The Council will also' have to pass on the vetoes of the Mayor In regard to the franchise for an Alberta-street extension to the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, and also the increase in the license fees of street peddlers. TEA FOR PATTON HOME Function Is Most Successful and Programme Interesting. The tea given yesterday afternoon at the Patton Home, for the benefit of that institution, was in every way a success ful affair. The programme, which was in charge of Mrs. Millie Perkins, was most pleasing and excited much favor able comment. Notably well-received were he selections by Miss Cornelia Barker, Miss Flynn. young Miss Beatrice Wilson, and the several solos and piano numbers by Mrs. Perkins. The hostess of the afternoon. Mrs. George Chamberlain, was assisted in re ceiving by Mrs. J. C. Hare. Mrs. D. G. TomaBini and Mrs. Knuettner. In charge of-- the dining-room were Mrs. Robert Glafke and Mrs. C. Watson. The deco rations of chrysanthemums and greens were very effective, and the parlors were crowded with guests from 2 o'clock until alter 6- - TURKEYS ARE AT PREMIUM DEMAND FOR FOWLS IS FAR GREATER THAX St'PPIL'. Although Birds Were More Plentiful Than Ever Before, Orders for r 3000 Are. Refused. Some one In Portland may have to go without turkey this Thanksgiving. The supply, as was fearedr proved small for the growing trade of the city, so pur chasers would do well to get out early this morning and do their buying, if they have not already done so. Because of the shortage, prices are high to 30 cents a pound at retail but. Judging from the way business was booming at the markets yesterday. Port landers do not begrudge paying this steep price for the royal bird. The Oregon turkey crop this year was the largest ever produced, but the supply available for the Thanksgiving trade was reduced by the purchase several weeks ago of over 3000 turkeys by the Govern ment for the use of the troops in the Philippines. That left Just about the same quantity available for Portland as was on hand last year. The demand, however, is much stronger this year. One year ago, with the bank troubles everywhere, things looked a little haxy in a financial way, and not everybody cared for turkey. This year it is dif ferent, and if anyone does not eat turkey Thursday it will be because there are not enough to go around. The wholesale people got through with their part of the game yesterday. The Front street dealers did not handle as many birds as usual, because a large packing firm cut into the business. These packers declare they handled over half of the supply that was sold here. They had to turn down orders yesterday for 000 turkeys and the Front street dealers had orders for about 1000 that they could not fill. With the demand greater than the supply, the wholesale price steadily advanced from 22 cents quoted on the street Monday morning, to 26 cents, asked by the packers yesterday after noon. The total receipts of dressed turkeys In the past three days were about 150. 000 pounds. A good part of this was shipped out to other markets in the fill ing of early orders.
