DEADLOCK LIKELY
AS TO CREMATORY
Public Works Company Puts
in New Bid $40,000 Under
Competitor.
BAKER FOR WILLAMETTE
Returned Councilman Stands by
Hoard of Health Award, but
Council May Stand 7 to 1, With
No Casting Vote for Mayor.
The situation with regard to a proposed
garbage crematory was further compli
cated yesterday by the filing of an offer
by the Public Works Engineering Com
pany, of Portland, to build a plant in ac
cordance with the specifications of the
proposed burner of the Willamette Iron
& Steel works for- $40,000 less than the
latter concern's bid.
"I will consider the matter thorough
ly." was all Mayor Simon would say
relative to the proposition made by the
Public Works Company.
Bluff, Says Baker.
Councilman Baker returned from Cali
fornia yesterday and conferred with the
Mayor relative to the garbage crematory,
assuring the Mayor he will support the
recommendation of the Board of Health
for the Willamette Iron & Steel Works
Plant. Mr. Baker, accompanied by
Councilman Rushlight, called upon the
Mayor late in the day regarding the
supplemental offer of the Public Works
Company.
"The offer of the Public Works Com
pany is a pure bluff. In my opinion,"
said Mr. Baker. "If the company officers
were sincere and can build a crematory
now for $40,000 less than the Willamette
Iron & Steel Works, why didn't they
bid that way In the first place 7
"It ts impossible for the Board of
Health now to consider this proposition,
coming at this date as it does. The cer
tified check accompanying, it cannot be
accepted by the city, as trt officers of
the company know as well as any one
else. I don't Intend to pay any attention
whatever to this proposition, as I don't
consider It fair in any sense. The city
has opened bids and has seen the fig
ures and the plans and specifications
of the bidders. It cannot at this time
proceed to toss overboard all of these
bids and accept one tendered long after
the deal la virtually closed. As far as
I am concerned. I am glad to have the
Mayor and Board of Health shoulder
the responsibility for the type of plant,
as the Council fussed around with it four
years and did nothing. We've got to
have the crematory, and It is no time
to block the Mayor in his plans."
T1eVote Seems Probable.
The Mayor and members of the
Board of Health have recommended an
appropriation of $119,500 for the con
struction of a crematory, to be built
by the Willamette Iron and Steel
Works of Portland, and it is a question
whether the Baker-Rushlight forces
can secure enough votes to carry the
ordinance. At present they have the
strength. Councilman Devlin, who is
favorable to the appropriation, is ab
sent in California. The best informa
tion obtainable yesterday afternoon
showed Councilmen Baker, Rushlight.
Wallace. Belding, Menefee, Concannon
and Ellis in favor of the ordinance,
and Councilmen Kubli, Cellars, Drls
coll, Annand, Dunning Watkins and
Lombard opposed. This constitutes a
tie of seven- to seven and the Mayor
has no deciding vote on an ordinance,
as he holds the veto power.
The situation is complicated, as it
is feared that it will perhaps result
In the defeat of the plans for building
any kind of crematory. The Mayor has
said that, should the Council block
the efforts of the Board of Health, he
will not build another type of incin
erator. Public Works Company's Xew Bid.
The bids of the Public Works Com
pany, which were opened with other
bids from competitors, were for two
types of plants, at $95,500 for one and
$119,900 for the other. Its supplemen
tary proposition is as follows!
Th Public Works Kngineering- Company
of Portland, Or., begs leave to submit the
following propottlon for building crematory
for City of Portland:
If the City of Portland shall desire to
build a crematory plant according to the
plans and specifications submitted by the
Willamette Iron & Steel Works, the Public
Works Engineering Company will build a
plant in accordance with said plans and
specifications for the sura of $79.rtOO, being
$40, 000 less than the bid submitted by the
Willamette Iron & Steel Works for the
building of - said plant, and give a good and
sufficient surety bond for the faithful per
formance of said work.
The Public Works Engineering Company
herewith hands you & certified check No.
96, on the United States National Bank of
Portland. Or., for the sum of SSOO0, made
payable to the Mayor of the City of Port
land, as a guarantee that they will enter
into euch contract for said work If the
same shall be awarded to them.

PAY-RISE VETOED
Mayor Simon , Blocks Grant
Made by City Council. s
COUNCILMEN IN WORDY WAR
Baker and Cellars Blame One An
other for Differences AVltH Simon,
Former Declaring He'll Stand
Pat on Salary Deal.
Mayor Simon yesterday vetoed the
Increases in salary granted by the City
Council last week to Deputy City Audi
tors Gill. West. Hutchinson. Mc
Eachern and Pierce and filed his mes
sage to the Council with the Auditor.
While the Mayor's messags was being
filed Councilmen Baker and Cellars,
members of the ways and means com
mittee, and several of their colleagues
indulged in a wordy war over the first
veto of the salary ordinance, respect
ing firemen and 1 policemen, to which
the Mayor made known his objection
last week.
Emergency Clause Wanted.
Owing to the fact that it had but
nine votes, failing to carry an emer
gency clause, the pay of all city de
partments 'is held up until the expira
tion of 30 days, under the initiative
and referendum rule. Cellars en
deavored to secure the co-operation of
Baker and Rushlight and their follow
ing to carry an emergency clause in
the Council tomorrow, so that the pay
roll may be audited and the men paid.
"I will stand pat and vote to pass the
whole ordinance oVer-the Mayor's veto,"
said Baker, who had Just returned from
San Francisco. "It is no fault of mine
that the salaries cannot be paid," ad
dressing Cellars. "It is your : fault;
you voted against the increases and If
the veto is sustained Wednesday it will
be because you and a few others, who
are in the minority, can rule because
you have the Mayor with his llttJe
veto in your favor."
"What is the use of holding up the
salaries of regular employes when the
question at issue is over men not yet
employed?" asked Cellars.
"Well, I refuse to separate the items
of salary," retorted Baker, "and if I
can get the votes I'll whip you into
line, too, and pass this ordinance over
the Mayor's veto."
"You couldn't whip me into line if
you had 47 votes," answered Cellars.
"I determine what I think is right and
vote that way; no action of yours
would change my vote."
Baker Won't Favor Truce.
A proposition was made by Cellars
that the two factions get together in
case of the passage of the ordinance
over the veto, or even if it fails to
pass, and arrange a means of caring
for the regular salaries. An emergency
ordinance, carrying these, could be
passed under a flag of truce, so to
speak.
Baker replied that he did not favor
this, but later said he would not hurt
any city employe and that he would
help to pay them. The verbal clash
occurred Just before the Council com
mittee on ways and means took up its
business.
The Mayor vetoed the ordinance
carrying the graded scale of pay for
firemen and policemen because he re
garded it as unsatisfactory and because
it was contrary to the recommendation
of the "Executive Board. His reasons
for objecting to the increases of pay
included in the item covering the Audi
tor's office are given in his message
to the Council, which follows:
I have returned and filed with the Audi
tor ordinance No. 20561, entitled. "An Ordi
nance Making Appropriation Out of the
General Fund for the Payment of Expenses
of the City of Portland For the Fiscal Tear
1910," passed by the Council on January
12. 1910. approved as to all the Items ot
euch ordinance except the Items thereof
under the genera; title, "Auditor's Office."
section 7, as follows: "For salary of one
deputy, not to exceed $175 per month; for
salary of 11 deputies and clerks, not 'to
exceed each $150."
' Major TeUs Why He Objects.
These Items objected to by me contem
plate an increase of salary of one deputv
from ISO to $175, four deputies from $125
to $150. I do not believe that these in
creases are necessary or that private cor
porations or individuals conducting large
business enterprises would pay the salaries
fixed in the Item of this ordinance objected
to for the. services of the character being
rendered by the employes referred to. The
increases do not met with my approval.
In this connection I must also respectfully
refer you to my veto message accompanying
ordinance No. 20553. For the reasons stated
I must ask your honorable body to re
consider the items to which I take excep
tion. y
It has been necessary for me to Include
In this veto the appropriation made for the
salaries fixed for other deputies and clerks
in the Auditor's office, and to which I take
no exception, because they have air been
uiciuuca in one general item of approprla-

Referring to the Beef Trust
If the people of Portlaud would do what is right, every one of Smith's
markets would be crowded to the doors patriots would refuse to eat Beef
Trust meat. This city would be in the depths of distress from high-priced
meat, had not Frank L. fcmith for the past four years fought and wrestled
with the Beef Trust. The Trust had the retail butchers all lined up. Men
could be found who would do most any detestable act. ' You remember how
five of the Beef Trust's markets flung out banners, "Fighting the Beef
Trust," trying to fool the public? One market-keeper followed on a bicycle
behind Mr. Smith, saying: "We have had this man boycotted; don't trade
with him." They used the courts of justice for knavery. Smith was be-i
seeched, entreated, implored and begged to stop the fight. At last came an
offer to buy his Alder-street market, with the premonitory warning: "If you
don't sell out, we will put a market right alongside of you and drive you
out." Smith would not sell, and the market was put there. Later on came
another warning: "If necessary we will put another market on the other
side of you." That market was put there, too. . Smith still fights on. Wo
have given you a few instances of the .work of the Beef Trust, the members
of which Uncle Sam hopes to put behind steel doors.
