It -will become in force and effect July 1. 1910, and the resolution submitting it to the electors calls for a primary election, pro vided for in the charter itself, and a gen eral election, before the date named, in order to elect the officers required under its provisions. The main feature of the commission plan Is that it places the en tire control of the city in the hands of a Mayor and six Councllmen. The Council's committee of seven made its report yesterday morning, as follows: Report of Committee of Seven. The Mayor and Council of the City of Port land. Gentlemen: The undersigned, a com- hv rnitlon .i.tad February. 1900. to pre- I Council, much against the wish of Mr. have taken an interest In the effort to secure better and what they consider more adequate pay for the officers desig nated. The recommendation to cut off all pay for Councllmen was also put forth by "friends" of the Council, and not by the committee. Kellaher Meets Opposition. State Senator 2Cellahera proposed amendment, prohibiting the laying of any hard-surface pavements. brought out strong opposition by R. W.

Action of the City Council yesterday will place before the people at the Juno election virtually two new charters, so that the voters may select their choice, and various other proposed amendments to the present charter, brought forward by individuals, all of which are to be voted upon at the same time. The commission scheme, reported by tho committee of 15 taxpayers, and a revised draft of the present charter, unanimously recommended by the Council's committee of seven, are both to be laid before the sovereign people. In addition to all of these, other amendments will be up for decision. placed before the electors through the initiative. y The only opposition of a serious nature that developed apalnst the proposed com mission plan was offered by Councllmen ReMlng and Cottel, just as had been an ticipated, and although the Council dis cussed the various features of the plan for a long time, there was at no time any danger of Its submission to the people being defeated. The only members vot ing against submitting it to the people were councllmen Welding. Cottel. Dris- coll and Dunning, and in the first part of the skirmish, when an amendment was moved by Cellars, fixing the time for the commission charter to become effective If the people adopt it. the vote stood 7 to 7. Mayor La no promptly settled It by saying: "Well, gentlemen. If it Is left to my vote to decide. 1 will lay, let the people have the charter at the earliest possible date, if they want it. 1 therefore vote to have It take effect July 1. 1110, the date named by Mr. Cellars In his amendment. Therefore, u the people adopt the rar amendments to the- charter of the city and report thereon for submission of such I amendments to the voters at the general ! election on the first Monday of June. 1009. have completed and reported to you certain amendments which we unanimously recom mend be submitted to the electors at the coming eloction. The committee understood from the reso lution creating It that Its scope of work was circumscribed and limited to needed amendments for carrying on the affairs of the city in an orderly and expeditious man ner In case of the failure of i-assae of the report of your first committee of 15 ap pointed a number of month! ago. we nave, therefore, limited our work to the amend ing? of about 15 sections of the charter in addition to the amending or repealing of about 85 additional sections in the con solidation of the four departments of the city known as the Executive Board. Water Board, Park Board and Health Board. The principal changes made in the char ter, if the report of this committee Is adopted and the several amendments submitted to the voters are carried, will be the abolition of the Water, Park and Health Boards and their duties placed upon the Executive Board: the chancing of the method of lay ing water mains by making the cost thereof chargeable to the water fund; the payment of Interest on the unissued water bonds as well as the principal of the unissued bonds out of the witer fund; the absolving of the city from liability of payment of $50,000 annually to the water fund for water con sumed by it: chanirinr the civil service pro visions to make easier the discharge of incompetent and unfit employes of the city but aa we think without injuring the effi ciency of the public service; making a com plete bonding system ror public improve ment to supplant the state law; providing a better system for banking the funds of the city and the making of a number of wholesome changes in the matter of making and assessing street improvements and other public work. The committee wishes to report that It does not consider that the charter u. amended by our recommendations would be a complete or meal cnartei. ana we Deneve that there are many additional amendments which could be made In the general public interest, but as stated above we have con sidered that our duties were limited, and within the time allotted we have done the best that was possible under the circum stances, assuring you that each amendment recommended by us is. we believe, of a beneficial character to the city. We are, respectfully. P. L. wiLbia, Chairman, I A. M'NART, J. E. WERL.EIX. J.. P KAVA.NAUGH, A. I BARBt'R, T. C. DEVLIN'. D- W. TAYLOR. Kellaher. It was ordered placed on the ballot. Amendments to the laws governing the laying of water mains and the pay ment of interest on water bonds were submitted, one by the committee of seven and another by Councilman Rushlight. The provisions of these are similar, ex cept that the committee's proposed amendment, calls for the payment of $50,000 a year from the city to the water fund, and Mr. Rushlight omits the item. It is Mr. Rushlight's belief that the de partment should pay all Its operating ex penses, interest on bonds and for the lay ing of all except general reinforcement mains. The Council authorized City Auditor Barbur to have 5000 copies of the amend ments printed for distribution in book form, for the benefit of voters who may wish to make careful study of them before the election in June. After an all-day session, adjournment was taken until 10 o'clock this morning, when the Council will assemble, should there be any further amendments to be considered. This is the last date upon which amendments may be submitted to the Council and or dered placed on the ballot for the June election.

Under the amendment recommended by the committee and adopted for submis sion by the Council, the Board of Health, the ater Board and the Park Board will be merged Into the Executive Board, and will be under Its control. Each of these departments will be In control of a committee of the Executive Board. The plan will abolish the three boards as they now exist, so that the members of each will not be appointed as now, but will be destgmated by the Mayor from the Executive Board. Each committee will have Immediate direction of a de partment, through the executive head. For example, the committee on ' health will direct the affairs of the health department through the health officer. At present the health officer is under orders from the Board of Health, which is appointed by the Mayor, and which consists of physicians and the Chief of Police. The Water Department will be revolu tionised. If this plan carries, as the Board will be abolished, and the conduct of affairs will be directed by the Executive Board, through the City Engineer, who Is constituted the engineer of the 'Water Department and all other city departments.

City En gineer and City Treasurer, as well as the subordinate officers and employes, are left to the Council for regulation, but it is stipulated that the salaries of the first three named shell not be less than $2400 a year, the present figure.

Moral squad operations were resumed yesterday, but on a different scale than heretofore practiced. The entire po lice force Is to be the moral squad. Every officer on the force has instruc tions to keep close watch on the rooming-houses of the city and to report to the station on any cases of law breaking that may come to his atten tion. In accordance with a special order Issued by Chief Grltzmacher and read to the first relief as it went on duty yesteraay arternoon, the Avalon, at 41SWashina;ton street. Is to be riven particular scrutiny. A report filed with the Chief by Patrolman Evans, des cribes the Avalon as a rendezvous of disreputable women. The report caused considerable surprise as the place is prominently situated and has been looked upon as one of the better class of rooming-houses. All other rooming- nouses are to be given scrutiny, as well, a beginning being made last night. Patrolman Evans, In his report to tho Chief, describes graphically his advent at the Avalon during the early hours of yesterday morning. He seta out that boisterous talking by men and women attracted his attention. He in vestigated, to find that two men and two women were drinking together In the place. One of them, who proved to be .Mrs. Chllberg, the landlady, summarily ordered him out of the place, he avers, and he left to avoid trouble, returning later with Sergeant Keller. As the officers returned they saw the landlady carrying eight empty beer bottles out of the room. No ar rests have been made as yet, but It Is said arrests may occur today In con nection with the incident. By the new Instructions given the officers it Is plain that the old system of breaking In doors Indiscriminately Is to cease, especially In view of recent grand jury Indictments of Sergeant Kienlen for such work. But the wrong doers axe to be checked up and every erron made to secure evidence upon which to base arrests and convictions. Relief Society, held yesterday In the First Presbyterian Church the officers of the society were re-elected for the ensuing year. An interesting feature of the meeting was the report of Mrs. P. J. Mann, In which she showed that the Children's Home, maintained by the so ciety, is in excellent condition. Mrs. Mann said she had formerly held the opinion that the children in the home should be kept there until they were able to choose some work for themselves; but she now believed that homes should be found for them as early as possible. She referrerd to the resignation of Mrs. Stearns, the matron, and the appoint ment of Mrs. Ella Matlack as her suc cessor. The employment of an assistant matron was also shown to have proved an advantage. The oequest to the home of J5000 from the estate of the late Amanda Reed was referred to with an expression of appreciation of the generous gift.

The very great majority- of TJersona need a tonic in the Srjrine? or oarltr Summer. The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire physical machinery is disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired. worn-out feeling, fickle appetite, poor digestion, a half sick; feeling and a general run-down condition of the system, show that the blood is -weak or anaemic, and a blood purifying tonio is needed to build up the deranged system and enrioh the blood. The use of S. S. S. at this time may sava you from a long spell of sickness, and it will certainly prepare you for the long, hot Slimmer. Many people have put off using a tonio until the system became so weakened and depleted it could not successfully throw off disease germs, and have paid for the neglect with a spoil of fever, malaria or some other debilitating sickness. S. S. S. is Nature's ideal tonio. It is a composition of the extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks which science and experience have proven are best fitted for a tonio to the human system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfectly safe for persons of any age. S. S. S. tones up the stomach and digestion, rids the system of that tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength to every part of the body. It purifies and enriches the blood, stimulates the secreting and excreting members to better action, quiets the over strained nerves, and makes one feel better in every way.
