16 TITI? MORXIXG OREGOXIAN", FRIDAY, APRIIi 13, 1910. FIREBDAT PLANS WILL GO THROUGH Mayor's Recommendation Is Promptly Indorsed by the Fire Committee. MEW MAINS WILL FOLLOW Arleta and "Woodstock to Have More Fire Protection Captains Ask More Wages, Which Will Be Opposed by Mayor. Mayor Simon has recommended to the flro committee of the Executive Hoard the construction of a eteel fire boat and reinforcing mains for the vaterfront district, asr proposed in an act of the people three years ago. The bond issue for this purpose is $275,000. Iolowing the recommendation of the Mayor, the fire committee yester day afternoon unanimously Indorsed this action, and directed Chief Camp bell to seek a site for docking the proposed steel fireboat. A marine en Klneer to handle the plans and speci fications and to direct the building of the vessel also will be sought. It is the purpose of the administra tion to proceed with this work rap idly. . Act Ion Taken Promptly. A committee consisting of Presi dent MacMaster, of the Chamber of Commerce, and I. Lang called upon Mayor Simon on another subject, and Mr. MacMaster introduced the fireboat nnd reinforcing main question. The Mayor said that he. would give the project attention soon. That he meant this emphatically is made manifest by his recommendation to the fire com mittee, which met at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. I desire to call the attention of the members of the committee to a recom mendation by Mayor Simon," said Chairmaji O'Shea, when this item of business was reached. "He wants the proposed steel fireboat and reinforc ing mains executed." Samuel Connell and S. C. Pier, the other members, concurred. The city has only one fireboat, the George II. "Williams, which is a wood en craft. It has done much . good work, but it is believed that the waterfront is too long and the prop erty to be protected of too great Value to permit the frontage to go much longer without another fireboat. The reinforcing mains' are an im portant part of this project, and when installed will be of great value to the great wholesale and the downtown retail districts to be served thereby. The whole waterfront and vicinity will be benented. The fire Insurance risks will be lessened materially. Xeed Not Questioned. 'I have never doubted the need of Another fireboat," said Mayor Simon, "but there have been so many vital questions for this administration to cope with that it has been impossible to get to this issue before now. That It is Important, I have always recog nized. I believe the waterfront should liave additional fire protection, and It will be the purpose of the administra tion to execute this work as rapidly as Is feasible. The reinforcing mains called for in the act are also import ant." Attention of the committee was railed to the case of Porter Loomis, engineer of Engine No. 9, who has been indicted on a statutory charge. The committee decided to await the outcome in court. The committee declined to rec ommend payment of an extra claim of $450, filed by the contracting firm of TJriburg Bros., building the new house for Engine No. 16. The cement in the floor froze and had to be replaced. More fire protection Is given to Ar leta and Woodstock, according to the plans of the committee, which will in spect these districts at once and do whatever it can to accommodate each until permanent paid houses can be established. Captains Ask Increases, The captains in the fire department presented a petition for an increase of $10 a month in wages, giving as their reason increased responsibilities and more work. Chief Campbell Indorsed the request, but added that the en gineers also should receive an in crease, if the city decides to grant the captains' petition. Mayor Simon is opposed to the increases sought. There are 27 captains. Specifications for new apparatus, re quired for new engine-houses, were recommended for approval of the Ex ecutive Board at its session this after noon. This aparatus will cost approx imately $30,000. Included in the list are requests for bids on automobile apparatus, although the committee has not decided definitely to install any of this. The members may buy a hose cart. The Home Telephone Company ab talned aa allowance of six months in which to install a system of tele phones in the station-houses to con nect with fire department headquarters. PERSON ALMENTION. I B.

Star Publishing Co. 367 Morrison St., Opp. Olds, Wortman & King's New Location DPEH MORRISON FOUGHT F. W. MCLKEY THREATENS TO WAGE COURT BATTLE. Owner Declares His Property Will Be Damaged Instead of Bene fited Dedication Questioned. F. W. Mulkey says he Trill contest the action of the City Council in open ing" Morrison street from Chapman to Washington streets. He plans to gro into court -within the prescribed limit of 20 days,' but is undecided as to what point he will select as a basis for liti gation. "There is no question but that I have been damaged, instead of receiving benefit to my property," said Mr. Mul key, "but I do not know whether this will be my point in court. I shall go into court without doubt. There is a question about whether the street was ever dedicated, and I am investigating that subject. As to the benefits said by the viewers to accrue to me, I will say that anything that tends to take the business away from a man's prop erty is not a benefit, but a positive damage." With the exception of Councilman Watkins, the action of the Council in ordering the street opened was unani mous. Mr. Mulkey's argument was heard, after which the ordinance was passed without comment. Mr. 'Watkins declares he is not supporting the open ing of the street, because he thinks the viewers did an injustice In assessing property east of Fifth street. He thinks the property in that district de rives no benefit, but is actually damaged. Japs Continue Slaughter of Seals. VICTORIA. B. C. April 14.

Dentists who come to us seeking em ployment attracted by the high wages we pay, complain that our demands are unnecessarily severe. One man said, "I am no jeweler."
