PORT LEV! IS 1.8
$125,000 Provided for Steel
Hull Dredge.
TAX IS LOWER THAN 1910
Com mlw loner Drlscoll Opposes Not
Only Dredge Construction but
Assessment, Which Ho Says
Too HighTug to no Built.
When those comprising the Port of
Portland Commission yesterduy consid
ered the matter of levying a tax of 1.6
mill with which to carry on the work
during 1911 and Included in the summary
of funds required an Item of H2S.00O for
starting work on a steel hull dredge, a
dupllcnte of the big digger Columbia.
Commissioner Drlscoll entered a strong
dissent to both the levy and a new
dredge, voting against both questions.
The Commission instructed J. B. C.Jxck
wood. consulting engineer, to survey the
dredge tenler Wcnona, which waits op
the dreilKe Portland, with a view to pass
ing on her worthiness and include in his
report an estimate for a new tug. Be
sides th Commission has plans nearlng
completion fof" a steel sternwheel tow
boat to cost In excess of IKO.iMO. There
will also be ordered 30 pipe pontoons.
The tax levy of one-tenth of a mill be
low that of 1910, which was 1.7 mills, and
there Is to be raised for the coming
year' operations a total of lO.0O. The
original sum needed was KtiT.OOO. but
there will be due from bonds IS8,0.
thereby cutting down the aggregate. .
Drlscoll Opposes Dredge.
Captain Pease presided at yesterday's
gathering and thero were present Com
missioners Drlscoll. Wheelwright. Ains
worth. Willis and Adams. When In
formed of the item In the budget for
commencing the new dredge. Mr. Drls
coll made It known plainly that he was
not in line for the expenditure on the
ground that the dredge was not required,
and that the levy should be reduced sj
long as the amount to be provided would
not b necessary. "We have Iwo dredge
now and they are tied up most of the
time." said Mr. Dr'scoll.
"Something may happen to one of the
dredges and the Portland will last but
about two seasons longer," said Captain
Pease.
"To provld HS.000 to atart the dredge
means but about one-tenth of a mill in
the levy and we would not omit that at
any rate." said Mr. Alnsworth.
Another dredge la absolutely neces
sary, for If anything should happen w
would be severely criticised." remarked
Mr. Wheelwright.
Steel Hall Cheaper In End.
I favor a steel' hull for the dredge,
because it will have an Indefinite life,
though costing more." said Mr. Adams.
When the vote waa taken Mr. Drlscoll's
ballot was In th negative on each ques
tion. Mr. Adams, as treasurer, and because
he drafted the financial statement, said
that during the present year Interest on
the bonds had been saved through th
fart there had been sufficient in the
general fund for most .needs up to De
cember, when the last batch of bonds
was advertised. He expects the levy will
provide sufficient until the same time
next year. Regarding the Item of I30.O00
to take care of an expected deficit In
the towage and pilotage sorvlcei Mr. Ad
ams said that It as not known accu
rately how that department would
weather the year, because the rates had
been reduced during the Summer and
when tie tug Oneonta was commissioned
the Port waa relieved from a charter
that meant an expenditure of I10W1 a
month on the tug Tatoosh. On motion of
Mr. Adams It was voted to divert IIS.OOI
to the sinking fund to meet bonds due
later.
Old Patterns Available.
Mr. Lockwood was called Into the dis
cussion regarding plans for the new
dredge, and he said that those from
which the Columbia was constructed
were available, except that a steel hull
would be substituted. The item of
IliS.OW will be about half the cost of the
digger, though a greater saving may be
made because patterns and other equip
ment of the Columbians parta can also
be used. The Columbia's bull, which Is
of wood, cost about IK.0V. and It 1 s
umated that a steel hull would be an

additional expense of 125,000, but would
last 40 or 50 years, while that or the Co
lumbia Is nearly worn out after eight
venra' service.
Steel trusses will be secured for be
tween IS000 and 000 additional. Mr.
Lockwood said that he favored some
changes In the hull, allowlns for greater
draft and less length, which would give
about the same displacement. In con-
nectlon with repairs to be made to the
Columbia at the drydock. specifications
were ordered prepared for 30 new pon
toons for the pipe line and repairs to 38
pontoons In use and six barges, also work
on the tuc McCraken. In speaking of the
condition of the tug Wenona. Mr. Lock

of JfJJOO for repairs to her would be a

Contract for Heater Awarded.
On the recommendation of Mr. Lock
wood, It was decided to award a contract
to the John Woods Iron Works for re
pairs to the water-heater of the dredge
Portland for U50 Instead of securmg new
ones, and bids for the latter were re
jected. Captain Pease's report on signals for
the St. Johns bridge, which are for the
bridge-tender to sound one long whistle
during thick weather when he hears
steamers approaching blowing fog whis
tles, to Indicate that the draw Is open,
and under the same conditions to sound
a danger signal of several short blasts
when the bridge is closed, was adopted
and referred to Major Mclndoe, of the
Corp of Engineers. U. S. A.
Major Mclndoe asked If the dredge
Columbia would be available April 1 for
digging In the channel to be deepened
to the westward of Swan Island. The
Commission agreed to charter her to the
Government as long as required unless
other work interfered.
The estimate for the tax levy as adopt

rXCH SEARCHLIGHTS READY
Government Is Providing River
rts With Powerful Lamps.
On his return yesterday from Fort
Stevens, where he went on business
connected with fortification construc
tion. Major Mclndoe, Corps of Engin
eers, U. S. A., said that four of the 0
lnch searchlights provided for use at the
mouth of the Columbia, have been in
stalled and until six additional arrive
from the East it Is probable smaller
lights will be put in place.
Fort Stevens, Fort Canby and Fort
Columbia will be equipped so that the
entire entrance and approach to the
river can be brilliantly illuminated in
emergencies, and while the lights are
intended for service in time of war, so
as to keep track of hostile ships, they
will be used for night target practice.
Experiments made with the big search
lights show a newspaper can be read
five miles at sea in the rays of the
lights, and vessels can be seen, unless
fog Intervenes, long before they could
reach a point where their guns could
do effective work. The lenses have a
diameter of five feet. The lights are
among the largest in use.

AILING
Bv my method I am enabled to
reach the vital spot with direct
treatment, which drives every ail
ment from the system by going to
the root of the ailment. I always
obtain prompt and satisfactory re
sults, because my searching exam
ination brings to light the nature
and extent of the ailment. My
facilities are the best and my treat
ment is perfect.
I have treated so many cases that
I know Just what I can do and
what I cannot do, and I never
promise or attempt too much. I
accept no case in which I have
doubt as to my ability to cure, and
results are always equal to the
claims I make.
