KI eh teen of the 33 measures to be
voted on at the coming election were
favored by the Taxpayers' League at
Its meeting yesterday afternoon In the
Chamber of Commerce. This action
ratifies the suggestion of the com
mittee composed of W. B- Ayer, Geora;e
W. Bates. Rodney L. Qlisan. L. J- Gold
smith, Thomas N Strong and J. N. Teal,
appointed to prepare & statement cov
ering its recommendations In the mat
ter of the amendments and ordinances
to be presented to the voters at the
June election.
The committee recommends the re
jection of the new charter as proposed
by the committee of IS on the ground
in substance It resembles the present
one, and that its innovation are too
radical. The commission system is
considered Inadequate for a city of t
size of Portland. The committee be
lieves that the old charter with such
amendments as can be made to It at
this election should be given a lonirer
trial in new hands before being dis
carded.
This special committee also tfdvlsev
the rejection of the charter amend
ment suRKested by the . committee of
seven, as too trifling for serious con
sideration.
The committee recommends the amend
ment providing for the Issuance of
150.000 of crematory bonds. A crema
tory, the committee considers, an Im
mediate necessity and as the bonds are
payable In 10 annual Installments the
Issue does not constitute a heavy bur
den. The committee reject the amend
ment changing the Madison-street
bridge to Market street, for the reason
that business has adapted Itself to the
present site and Its removal would also
entail an extra cost of $500,000.

Gothenbnrg Plan Jolted.
The amendment granting a franchise
to the Oothenburg Association is re
jected. The committee considers It
dangerous and vicious in the extreme,
and that it would tend to corrupt the
dispensary system.
The measure known as the excise
board amendment is also rejected on
the score that it would disastrously af
fect hotels, clubs and other business
enterprises. It Is considered inadvis
able to abandon the present system for
such measures said to be radical and
untried which could not oe perman
ently maintained and would result in
a disastrous reaction.
Tbe Full Report-
Following Is the complete report of
The new charter proposed by the com -r
is ia in substance very much like
the old charter, except In the radical change

Council and the merging of all legislative
V1w.rir functions in the Mayor ana
I'nuncll. It seems to this committee almost
. mn irtlen a. chance. The com
mission plan, as It is called, has worked
well in some small cities, but no city of the
first class has so far adopted It. In aah-ine-ron
T c. which has I under Congnesa)
