Clause is attached, the victory won in
the City Council Wednesday afternoon
by the street railway company over
the question of paving between car
tracks was lost during the morning
session. yesterday. It requires 12 -Ifirmatlve
votes and the approval or
'the Mayor to make an emergency or
dinance immediately effective, and as
there were only 12 members present
land two negative vots. on the ques

the measure was lost. Therefore, as

. The Supreme Court decision, which
holds that the referendum may be ap
plied to all ordinances within SO days
after passage by the-Council has cre
ated much Inconvenience in the Coun

terday, puts the power of holding up
any measure In the hands of one man.
In such an instance as that of yester

specifications and rescinding proceed

later date.
City Attorney Kavanaugh and Coun
rilman Kellaher had a little tilt over
the emergency clause proposition dur
ing a debate over whether it is neces
sary to attach such a clause to all
tordinances. Mr. Kellaher declared that
it Is a game to make a great fuss
over the decision." and expressed his
(belief that unnecessary stress Is be-.
Ing laid upon the emergency clause.
He it was who caused the referendum
o be applied to the ordinance, which
S-esulted in the decision of the court.
-I suppose I should defer to Mr. Kel
Jrher superior legal ability." said
City Attorney Kavanaugh, with con
siderable emphasis.
'There is nothing personal In this.
aa!d Mayor I-ane. who was presiding.
"But he Just told me that I don't
know what I am talking about." re
plied Mr. Kavanaugh.
-I had no reference to you. Mr. Kav

the matter was thus- smoothed over.
An ordinance granting to the Mayor

ronslderatlon. but was not passed.
Mavor Lane. Councilman Cottel and
others thought the faithful old horse

urill endeavor to secure a good place
for it.
An ordinance submitted by Council
man Cottel. making it obligatory upon
any one wishing to purchase any kind
f a weapon, first to secure a permit
from the Chief of Police, was referred
o the committee on health and police.
O. K. & S. Asks $4 00 for ltlght.
An ordinance to secure a rlght-of-ay
for an outlet to the Marquam
t'.uloh sewer over property owned by
She O. R. A N. Company came up for
action, and it was disclosed that the
city is expected to pay the company
400 for the right. Mayor Ijine said
lie would try to get it gratis from the
company, or he will veto the ordinance.
Councilman Driscoll introduced a res
olution, requesting the Portland P.ail
way. Light & Power Company to set
aside some place on its streetcars fur
amokers.
"I think this is something which
Phould receive a great consideration."
said Councilman Kellaher, "and would
move that It be referred to the sewer
committee."
"Your motion Is out of order." ruled
Mayor Iane. .
"Well, ifs a weighty matter." satd
Mr. Kellaher.
It was finally referred to the com
mittee on health and police.
Councilman Kellaher introduced an
ordinance, the provisions of which are
that all wires and cables must be
placed in underground conduits all
over the city by September. 1909. He
contends that this is a very reasonable
thing to ask the companies to do, as
he says he would not attempt to compel
tliera to do anything unreasonable.
The proposed measure was referred to
the committee on health and police.

ESTATE WILL PLAT TRACT
Hawthorne Park to Be Wiped Out,
. Ravine Filled and Land Sold.
Hawthorne Park, comprising In all
about ten acres. Is not likely to be ac
quired by the city for park purposes, as
the owners are preparing to plat the
tract, open streets through It and place
the lots on the market. Surveyors have
been at work dividing the tract into lots.
It had been supposed, or hoped, in Cen
tral Kast Portland, that the city would
acquire the tract, which is a natural
park covered with a growth of fir, oak
and maple trees, and all the push clubs
have favored securing it for park pur
poses, but the slowness with which the
authorities moved in the matter will
likely result In the city losing the op
portunity of securing It.
However, the platting of the tract will
result In the filling of tne ravine and the
disposition of the flow of water from
Hawthorne Springs between Hawthorne
avenue and Belmont street, where at
present there is a long lake of water.
This ravine occupies many blocks of
much value, which undoubtedly will be
filled. Trees In the park have been gird
ed and killed and will be cut down.

ESTIMATES ARECUT
Committee Disagrees
With Chief's Figures.
LIMITS HIM TO $472,000
Thrls Sum Is Approximately $157,
000 Under What Is Asked This
Means but One or Two New
Stations, Little Apparatus.
A serious situation was disclosed yes
terday afternoon, when the Are commit
tee of the Executive Board met and dis
cussed the estimate for 1909. furnished
by Fire Chief Campbell. Brief, consid
eration revealed the fact that the high
est possible sum the department can
have for next year's operation and new
equipment Is $472,000, whereas the items
in the Chief's estimate call for J639.157,
or $107,000 .approximately, above the limit.
The condition is such that Ihe commit
tee took it up with Mayor Lane in the
tetter's private office behlng closed doors.
It Is understood that but one or two new
station-houses will be recommended, and
little, if any new apparatus.
The secret session of the committee with
'Mayor Lane continued a long time. When
asked about It, the Mayor replied that he
and the members of the committee were
discussing the matter and that, at present,
there was nothing to give out.
Before going into secret session the com
mittee held a meeting in a committee
room and briefly went over the Items
contained In the estimate for 1909, pro
vided by Chief Campbell. The committee
consists of John Montag, Isaac Swett and
P. E. Sullivan. Although Chief Camp
bell declared that there is urgent need
for several new stations In outlying dis
tricts, as well as at Third and Gllsan
streets and in the vicinity of St. Vincent
and Good Samaritan Hospitals, the com
mittee disagreed and maintained that
there Is really no need for some of those
recommended, especially one at East
Twenty-second and Thompson streets, In
the vicinity of Mount Tatoor, and at
Twenty-fourth and Johnson streets. Isaac
Swett declared there Is absolutely no need
for a station at Twenty-second and
Thompson streets and Mr. Sullivan said
that North AlWna could get along all
right without one.
It Is not known what recommendations
the committee will make to the ways and
means committee of the Council, as a
result of the secret session, but from what
occurred In the public meeting it Is be
lieved that there will be virtually no
changes in suburban ftrestations. either
as to houses or equipment, during 1909.
In the open meeting, Chief Campbell and
City Electrician Savarian were present,
urging the need of new stations and
additional apparatus, and Chief Campbell
frankly told the committee that, in his
Judgment, it Is Imperative that there shall
be some new houses and more apparatus
to protect outlying districts.
The committee virtually agreed that an
engine-house will be recommended for
Third and Glisan streets, and Mr. Swett
said he favors one at some point near
the hospitals. It Is planned to house the
water tower there. If one is put up. Sev
eral sites for new houses have been pur
chased by the city. In various sections,
but it is thought the lots will be vacant
at least another year. The expenditures
for 19i)g up to January 1. will be $393,157.
but little over one-half what Is asked for
this year. '
