DOBSON
New Ordinance Said to Refer
to Building Inspector.
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

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.
