There is work In plenty for the new
Mayor and for all of the boards and
officials of the administration, who will
assume their duties July 1. Projects in
volving the expenditure of millions of
dollars, authorized by the electorate two
years ago. are still to be executed, and
these will fall to the lot of those who
are to comprise the official family for the
next term. Combined with the tremen
dous volume of city business each year
It if a certainty that public officers will
be kept busy.
Construction of the second pip. line to
(Bull Kun River, augmenting the water
supply of Portland, Is the most expensive
project ahead of the incoming administra
tion. This project is Just being put under
way. the present authorities having em-
Plifd..,R- Thonson' Engineer
of Seattle, to assist Chief Engineer 13 D
Clarke, of the local Water Department'
This work Involves the expenditure of
3,000,000, and Is of the greatest Import
ance to tho municipality. It was ordered
by the people two years ago, but tho
amendment authorizing it, like all of the
other amendments, was tied up in the
courts for a long time. All were linallv
upheld by the State Supreme Court, and
the unwinding of official red tape was
commenced. All Is now In readiness to
proceed.
Meter System a Task.
Installation of a meter system, by
w-hich water Is measured to consumers
Is also a part of the work that will fall
tr. the lot of the Mayor-elect and his as
sistants. This has to be done under
direction of the Water Board. Manv
thousands of meters will be needed, and
the present Board has just ordered 5000
which will be. here soon, readv for In
stallation. While the preeent administration has
accomplished a great deal toward estab

JoOO.000 of funds, voted two years ago
to be expended an the acquisition of prop

been expended In the purchase of tracts
throughout the city, but the plan contem
plates such an elaborate chain of parks
and connections by boulevards that It will

. There te also the fund for the purchase
of public docks, the construction of a
new steel flreboat and for a system of
reinforcing mains for the waterfront dis
trict. This Is an Important project, but
he present City Council has not seen
tft to proceed with it very fast, and the
bonds have not yet been sold. The Is
sue for this purpose Is J275.000. but It Is
believed that more funds will be neces
sary to carry the complete plans through
The Lam administration recommended
ne sale of the bond issue and Immediate
execution of the scheme as ordered by
the electors two years ago, but all of the
real work Is yet to be done.
The Madison-street bridge must be con
etructed under the direcUon of the new
i 'Executive Board, and the bridge com-
mlttee or the Board will be chiefly re
sponsible for the work. This will cost
460.000. the- fund being ready for use
The Lane administration emploved en
gineers and adopted a design for the
structure, and the contract will be let
probably, before July 1. it will then re
main for the Incoming administration to
execute the work and finish the bridge
There seems no probability of the Lane
administration awarding a contract for
city lighting, as It has collided with tho
company having a monopoly of current In
Portland, and It Is highly probable that
the Mayor-elect and his Executive Board
v.111. be called upon to adjust this matter.
Face Span Trouble.
There is still trouble over the rein
forced concrete bridge across Sullivan's
Oulch. at East Twenty-eighth street, and
It is believed this structure will not be
taken over by the present administra
tion. It was rejected by the executive
(Board, it being alleged that It was faulty
The company which built It has offered to
repair it and make It right, but It Is
probable this will not be done In time
for the work to be accepted by the Lane
regime.
The East Twenty-elghth-etreet police
nation, to be located at Union avenue
and Hancock street, will be under way
in the near future, but It will not be com
pleted by July 1. and It will fan to the
Incoming Executive Board to complete it
Several Fire Department stations, in
various sections of the ctty, have been
authorized by the City Council, but no
buildings are as yet under way. and it
will be up to the new administration to
take up this work and push it to com
pletion. The big sewer In thA t?.-i-i

gained.
Mr. Humphrey described the burglar
as .being little more than a boy, of an
effeminate appearance, dark-eyed and
wearing a brown suit of clothes.

MAYOR
HiDS
Number of Important Offices
to Be Filled by City's
New Executive.
WILL NAME POLICE CHIEF
Kxecutive Board, Board of Health,
Council Committees, City Engineer
and Private Secretary All
in His Control.
The new Mayor will control sufficient
patronage to attract the attention of
those who covet public positions. Some
places which are at the disposal of the
Mayor are such as will cause a scramble,
while others are less desirable, but none
of them has ever been known to go un
filled for the lack of applicants. The
real, ever-sought-for Jobs are City Health
Officer. Chief of Police, City Engineer,
Market Inspector, Milk Inspector. Assist
ant Health Officer and City Physician,
superintendent of the garbaee crematory
and the Inspectorship In the health of
fice. These pay good salaries.
Among the more important matters for
the Mayor-elect to care for is the ap
pointment of an Executive Board of ten
members, and another task of equal
weight Is the designation of the City
Council committees. The Executive Board
really has charge of the various city de-
Eanmhn J' .J"SOfar as the executive
IS ,V f the muncipallty is concerned.
and the various committees have great
responsibility. The board consists of Com
mittees on police, fire, bridges, street
sewers, street-cleaning, light. City Hal
and current expens. Of these perhaps
stree? hHPOrtant are the Poll

mentioned for Health Officer is Dr. C. H.
.....Cr, wno iormerly held the posi
tion under Mayor Lane. There will be
numerous applicants, of course, for this
and all the other places.
The position of Chief of Police is
one of the most talked-of places at the
disposal of the Mayor-elect. It is the
one Job of them all which commands
constant attention and has much to
do with the success or failure of an
administration. It pays $22& a month
salary. Among those mentioned for
this place are Colonel Charles E. Mc
Donell, ex-Chief Dan McLachlan, ex
Chief Charles H. Hunt, ex-City Detec
tive L. G. Carpenter. Deputy United
States Marshal F. J. Kerrigan and ex
Chief John Minto, who Just finished a
term as postmaster of Portland.
The Mayor-elect has the appointment
of a secretary, who Is paid a salary of
$75 a month. This place Is an Im
portant one, as the secretary has to
meet the public and assist the Mayor
In his official business.
The City Engineer's place is always
a coveted place, too. While it pays
but $200 a month and Is extremely dif
ficult to fill, there are always many
who wish to serve in that capacity.
No one has as yet been mentioned pub
llcly for this office.
