HILL REPORT QUESTIONED Belief Is Recommendation of Taft Appointee Meets With Disap proval of Treasury Depart mentMay Choose Block S. That the selection of a Postoffice site for the City of Portland, as recom mended by Dr. J. W. Hill, has not met with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury was made plain yesterday morning when Joseph W. Roberts, of San Francisco, reached the Seward Ho tel. Mr. Roberts Is tne Federal superln tendent of building construction for the Pacific Coast. He admits that he is here in connection with the purchase of ground by the Government for Postof fice purposes. That is as far as Mr. Roberts will go. "I am under orders to secure certain additional information desired by the Secretary of the Treasury in connection with the Postoffice site." said Mr. Rob erts last night. "I know nothing of the report submitted by Dr. Hill, and have nothing to do with It. I have not culled uiwn Dr. Hill, and really have nothing to say on the matter. My report will be confidential and mill be submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury - soon as I am through with the mission which brought me here." Itoberts Talks but Little. Superintendent Roberts said he would call upon Postmaster Merrick this morn ing. but did not Intimate Just what he had to say to the Portland official, in fact, Mr. Roberts refused to talk more than he could help. it has been known for some time that the representatives of the owners -of block S, chluf among the latter being Dr. Andrew C. Smith, have been in Washington to controvert the report that Dr. HIU, appointed by President Taft to handle the site selection matter and whose compensation for the 70 days of service was approximately 11400, had turned down block S on the allegation tUat it was "filled in" ground. Dr. Smith disputes that statement, and it is bolleved that Roberts may be here to Investigate the question. Roberts Is the man m-ho had much to do with the building of the Customs House In Portland, and who constructed the Postoffice building at San Francisco, and Is considered an authority. His reputation was made when the San Francisco Postoffice building not only withstood the earthquake of 1906, but the fire which afterm-ard destroyed the dis trict on all aides of It. Knotting that Postmaster Merrick and Senator Bourne hnd Joined in a recom mendation of block S because It was the cheapest site offered mithln 80 rods of the Grand Central Station, it is general ly believed that Bourne has helped block the report submitted by Dr. Hill. Realty Men Busy on "Tip." Another rumor was prevalent last night in real estate circles to the effect, that Dr. Hill had selected and recommended the purchase of block 68, bounded by Tenth and Eleventh streets, Burnslde and Couch streets. So strong was the "tip" that real estate men were endeav oring to make trades on account of It. The block la a part of the Glisan estate, under the management of Rodney L. Gli san, and was not among those offered to the Government when bids were called for in August. Under the Instructions which are said to have governed Dr. Hill in his labors of selecting a site, power was given to report upon sites other than those ten dered In response to the advertisement. Knowing these facts to be true, real estate promoters were inclined to credit the rumor of the location of the favorite selection of Dr. Hill. It Is believed among real estate men of the city that Mr. Roberts has been asked to submit a general report upon certain specific sites without having in formed the superintendent of construc tion what Dr. Hill really did recommend and that when he submits his report it mill be used as a check against the re- lort of the special agent appointed by the President. Mr. Roberts will be here until Monday or Tuesday, and perhaps longer.

"The plan of making the County Court also Judge of the Juvenile Court has been suggested, but it does not meet with our approval, because the County Court has not the prestige of the Circuit Court. People have not as much re spect for the County Court. "If we cannot have a bill to our lik ing, we will help support the bill which nearest meets our mind. What we want Is more attention for the boys and girls. I understood a bill was being prepared to increase the number of Judges." AlfreO I Thompson, a member of the committee on the new law, was in con sultation with Attorney John F. Logan about the matter of a new law. Mr. Logan said yesterday he Is In favor of increasing the number of Circuit Judges to seven or eight, and making the Coun ty Court and Juvenile Court one body. That he said, would send all family troubles to the County Court, as that body already has Jurisdiction over non- support cases. He said he is In favor of placing pro bate business in the Circuit Court In stead of the County Court, which would give litigants in estate matters one less court to which to appeal, and reduce the amount of red tape. He said he would also make the County Court the final arbitrator of all Municipal Court and Justice Court matters, unless Jurisdic tional matters were Involved. "Let the County Court have a Jury of six from the Circuit Court Jurors, If necessary," he said. 6 ""(''("'"1' ) INovember s d Showing V The month Just closed was the most prosperous in the tJ history of Portland.

Lamson that the City Engineer had forced him to strengthen a retaining wall on his own land to protect a street improvement on Aspen street, on Willamette Heights, refusing later to make repairs when the wall gave way and the street im provement suffered, were taken up by the street committee of the Executive Board yesterday afternoon, and, after a hearing was given them, were re ferred to the City Attorney to deter mine the legal status of the matter. Statements made by Mr. Lamson and City Engineer Morris at ths hearing did not agree, but the committee did not put either man under oath. Mr. Morris Insisted that his department had been notified by Mr. Lamson that the city would not be permitted to go on his land in order to make a retaining wall, while Mr. Lamson denied that such a request had ever been made. The following from Mr. Lamson's written complaint to the Executive Board shows on what his objections are founded: That whereas, your petitioner had, for more than three years last past, a service able street In front ot said property, which has been continuous!" in place, he la now In a position of havlns to nay an assessment of $fltV4.Uo for an expensive Improvement and at the aame time, under the ruling of the City Engineer, will be compelled to expend a eum in exceaa of the original coat of aald improvement to repair the aame when, aa your petitioner believes, the automobile of the City Engineer la the only vehicle that hsa passed over said pavement since same was completed. Mr. Lamson's charges, together witn written statement to be prepared by Mr. Morris, will be submitted to City Attorney Grant, that he might decid the legal status of the case. duced the merchandise assessment of the Oregon Moline Plow Company from 60,000 to $50,000.

Propoeed 1bw Reform Is for Cre ation of Sixth Judgeship for Minor Ca-.es Only. ARTISTS AND MECHANICS In their line. Walter A Lord Co., Jewelers, ill lb street. Plant Elbson rosea Phone Sellwood 960. Reform in the Juvenile Court law Is proposed by a committee of business men In charge of the boys' work of the Young Men's Christian Association. A sub-committee has taken the matter up with E. C. Bronaugh, ex-Judge of the Juvenile Court, asking him to draft a suitable bill for a law. J. C. Clarke, secretary of the bovs' department, said last night that the chief trouble mlth the present law is that it puts the burden of Juvenile troubles upon the shoulders of a Judge already overworked mith Circuit Court business. At present Judge Gatens holds Juvenile Court on Tuesdsys and Fri days, beginning at 1:S0 In the afternoon, after his Circuit Court work Is out of the may. Sometimes it is necessary to adjourn In the midst of a case for the benefit of the Juvenile Court. Secretary Clarke thinks there should be another Judge to attend to the Juve nile Court: snd to be Judge also of the Circuit Court. He says he believes a Judge should be elected for this work for four years. Instead of taking the work for a year, as Is now done. "If the Juvenile Court takes all the j-.idgea time, let him spend all his time at it." said Clarke, "but If he has time left to give to Circuit Court duties, let Mm take such of It as he has time for. but let the Juvenile Court be made para mount. Judge Fraxer. when in charge of the Juvenile Court, took enough time to attend properly to , Juvenile delin quents. But the work has been piling up so high since he died, that the Judge in charge has hsd hut little time to give to the boys and girls. Their cases demand more attention. I understand there has been hardly a case of con tributing to the delinquency of a minor which has been tried In the last two years This Is not because such cases do not exist, but because the Judges haven't time to hear them, and the Prosecuting Attorney refuses to prose cure. "Seattle has IS Judges on the Circuit bench. Ordinarily one Judge la allowed for every 25,0 inhabitants. That would Tax Ivevies May Be Made on Basis of Old ValuMions. County Clerk Fields received a let ter yesterday from the State Tax Com mission, Informing him that the Board would be unaole to report the valua tlons it places upon railroads and like corporations before the time expires In which the city and school districts may make their levies. C L. Starr, secretary of the association, suggests therefore, that last year's levy be used as a basis, an addition being made thereto in proportion to the Increase of the total assessment this year over the total assessment last year. The time allowed the State Board in which to report expires later than does the time allowed the school districts to make their levies. The total assessment of property in Multnomah County before being equal ized by the County Board of Equaliza tion was $277,476,625. There are 184, 245 acres of land in the county, valued at $22,987,180, according to the unre- vlsed figures, or $124.22 an acre. Other figures are as follows: Improvements on acreage, $2,613,400; town lots, $154 014.330: improvements on town lots, $48,556,815: logging roads and rolling stock. $115,030; steamboats, sailboats, stationary engines, and manufacturing machinery. $7,427,725; merchandise, $14,919,425; farming implements. $1, 096,770: money, notes and accounts. $9,176,615; shares of stock, $8,389,895 household furniture and Jewelry, $7,- 176.760; horses, $7,-2,145; cattle, $233,- o30; sheep and rats. $942a; swine, $16,255, and dogs, HI, 325.
