SOME TEACHERS GET MORE Instructors Who Akerl for Raise of 30 Per Cent Are Recommended for Inrreartte Amounting to About 15 Per Cent. Teachers In the public schools of Portland presented to the Foard of Education some weeks aao. through a committee, a request was made that sal arlee be Increased ! per cent straight through the existing schedule. This re quest was taken up by the committee on salaries last week, a compromise schedule was presented and adopted by a majority vote, the president of the board. Her man Wittenberg, alone voting against an Increase. Tn advocating the advance, argu ments were presented and figures shown Indicating that Portland stood below any of the Coast cities In the matter of teachers" salaries, with the result that the best teachers coming to this part of the country to seek positions po to Los Angeles. San Fran cisco. Oakland, or to Seattle or Spokane, where salaries are higher than here. For this reason Portland has been de prived of the services of some experi enced tutors, and besides. It was alleged br one of the directors, some of the I experienced teachers already In posl f Hons, In this city had announced their LI intention to resign and accept better paid positions eisewnere ir roruino um r.nt see fit to advance salaries to corre spond with those paid along the Coast In cities of similar Importance. Better Schoolhousea Wanted. An argument was raised by oppo nenta to the advance that more and bet ter srhool-houses were of more urgent necessity than to use additional funds In paying teachers. This stand was an swered by an advocate or tne increase in the words. "I would rather nave child of mine receive the benefit of good teacher's training in a barn than to be badly or carelessly taught in the finest building that could be erected. All agreed that better school-houses are required In Portland, but tne aavo rates of the increase said that both bet ter buildings and the best teachers inhtalnable are enually of Importance, fend that the slightly Increased taxation vmniH h vllltnfflv met by the people I of the city, especially as it meant bene fit to the children of the community. The" teachers" committee also request ed, that salaries, with the 10 per cent Increase, should be paid monthly for IS months of the year. The board decided on an advance approximately of 15 per rent, and by vote decided that salaries hall be paid monthly for 1 months as heretofore, thus giving teachers Immed iate use of the increased salaries rather than have it spresd over a calendar year. The matter of the-proposed Increase will rome up at a meeting on the night of December 3. and it is believed by mem bers of the board that opponents of any Increase at all and some who favor a larger increase will have representatives present on that occasion to advocate their respective contentions. Tables were made part of the report to the board by the committee, with an explanation that it was deemed advis able, after due consideration, to so ad Just the schedule that teachers longest Jn the service and necessarily pos sessed of the most experience In local schools shall have a higher percentage of the advance than those who have been in the department for less time. It was said in advocating the adoption of the schedule as prepared that It is based on commercial and professional usages an experienced employe In a mercantile house, for example, or an ex perienced attorney or physician, com manding better salaries than novices or newcomers. If the subjoined sched ule Is favorably voted on at the tax payers meeting. Its provisions will go into effect at once. The increase pro posed adds 4-10 mill to the tax rate.

The erection of new and Improved poles on Alder street ordinarily would not have attracted any particular attention but In view of the agitation by members of the Cltv Council for legislation requiring that all electric and telephone wires be placed underground the activity of the electric company on Alder street naturally ar rested the attention of pedestrians, in response to an inquiry. B. S. Josselyn. president of the Portland Railway, Ijght A Power Company, explained that the pending Improvement would be made on the one street only. The company, he said, had no intention of extending this character of improvement to any of the other streets of the city at this time.

Heretofore it has been the custom of funeral directors to mako charges for all inciaentaia connn-im witn a funeral. The Edward Holman Under taking Company, the leading funeral directors of Portland, have departed from that custom. When casket is fur nished by us we make no extra charges for embalming, hearse to cemetery, outside box or any services that may be required of us, except clothing, cemetery and carriages, thus effecting a raving of $?J to $7i on each funeral.

AGREEMENT IS HOPED FOR Lighting Committee of Council Will Tonight Consider Situation, Which Was Brought on by Pruning: of Bills. Unless the City Council through Uie Ex ecutive Board readies an understanding with fhe Portland Railway. Ught & Power Company before midnight Thurs day, December 31, the management of the electric light corporation may shut off all lights now supplied the city for lighting Its streets and public 'buildings. The contract under whii'h this service Is being furnished expires December 31, and because of the hostile attitude of the Executive Board toward the light com pany there is said to be a disposition on Uie part of the latter to terminate Its lighting service for the city promptly on the expiration of its contract. It is be cause of the seriousness of the situation that the lighting committee of the City Council will hold a special meeting to- Oight that some solution to the trouble may be reached. B. S. Josselyn, president of the electric light company, would not discuss the subject yesterday. He refused to Inti mate what would be the course or his company in event of the failure of the city to renew its contract or make some arrangement for lighting service. The Council committee on lighting expects to make its report and recommendations to the Council at its meeting v ednesday. At that time the Council will report the matter, back to the Executive Board, which meets Friday afternoon. The elec tric light people will not issue any state ment until after the Executive, isoard has finally declared itself. New Lamps started Controversy. The trouble between the Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company and the Executive Board had its origin several months ago. It resulted from the in stallation by the light company of a new style of street arc light. Mayor Une and members of the Executive Board protested against the change In lamps, contending that the substitutes furnished not to exceed three-fifths of the electricity consumed by the oll lamps. This objection w answered by tlie man agement of the light company, which contended that the new lamps furnished 10 per cent morj Illumination than the old ones, but this d'd not satisfy the objections of the Executive, Board, which inaugurated a programme of discounting the company's monthly hills. Some time ago the electric company submitted to the city a ' new contract for municipal lighting covering a period of five years. To the proposed agree ment Mayor Lane immediately registered a vigorous objection, contending that the terms of the agreement were decidedly more liberal for the company and less reasonable toward the city than were the provisions of the one about to expire. He urged further that under the pro posed contract the rights of the city would be curtailed to a greater extent than under the old one. The result was that when the Executive Board met subsequently tile contract was sent to the Council with the recommenda tion that the city refuse to enter into t!i agreement. Instead of rejecting the proposal of the electric company the Council ordered that the contract be re ferred to the standing committee on light ing for consideration and recommenda tion. Councilman Cellars la chairman of that committee and the other members are: Baker, Belding. Concannon and Menefee. Cellars Will Present Data. Tills committee will hold its first meet ing tonight, when Mr. Cellars expects to present some facts that Will prove In teresting and possibly pave the way for an early adjustment of the existing dif ferences between the city and the electric light company. Ever since this Important matter was referred to this cominltteo Mr. Cellars has been conducting a thor ough Inquiry into the actual status of the relations between the city and the light company. At the same time the committee requested from City Attorney KavaDaugh a legal opinion as to the rights of the city to withhold from the company a portion of lis monthly bills, alleging a non-compliance with the terms of Its contract with the city. Mr. Kav anaugh will deliver this opinion to the committee some time today, that it may lie considered In connection with the de liberations of that body tonight. The whole trouble between the city and the electric company." said Mr. Cel lars yesterday, "appears to have "orig inated from the refusal of the city to pay to the electric company Its bills for service alleged to have been rendered under the terms of the existing contract. In my Investigations I have obtained pos session of all of the docunents pertain ing to the contract between the city and the electric company for a lighting serv ice I have been very much surprised to find that there exist two distinct and separate contracts between the city and the light company on the subject of mu nicipal lighting. One of these agree ments refers to street lighting and the other to he lighting of municipal build ings, and neither refers In any particular to the other. Kxecntlve Board Is Blamed. "I have also learned that the Execu tive Board has been withholding from the electric company a part of Its month ly bills for this service ever since last Spring without the knowledge of the City Attorney, who at no time has been re quested for an opinion as to the legality of the procedure. It also appears that since last October the Executive Board has been consolidating In one warrant the bills 'both for street lighting and light ing municipal buildings after making re ductions In the bills for street lighting on tbe alleged grounds that the service was not according to the terms of the contract. Having done this, the members of the board have been holding these warrants until the management of the light company would receipt its bills In full. "Under the circumstances I -onBider that the course of the city authorities in their dealings with the electric com pany is a high-handed procedure, evi dently dictated by politics. The commit tee has not completed Its Investigation Into this wrangle, but when Its work is finished some facts not generally known to the public may be expected." City Attorney Kavanaugh yesterday de clined positively to say what his opinion would le as to the terms of the existing contracts and the rights of the city thereunder.
