CITY FACES LOSS Failure of Garbage Tests Not Covered in Contract. $60,000 IS ALREADY PAID Ajrrremrnt Appears to Bo That No Itcsovcry Can Be Made micas Plant Is Accepted January Test Shows Kl Cost. Failure of tha new crematory to burn garbage at the price guaranteed In the contract brought to light yesterday the fact that a refusal of the Board of Health to accept the plant as a result of the tests would cause the city to loe, the K0.000 It has already paid on the contract. The agreement entered Into between the city and the contractors provide that while a bond must be pro vided to Insure the city against poor workmanship or Injury to city property, the bond does not cover the loss by failure of testa. At the same time the agreement permits the contractors to re move the plant from the city property within six months after the tests. In case the teete do not meet requirements. -I have carefully looked through the contract." said City Auditor Barbur yes terday, "and It seems that the city must l"Se the J60.000 already paid In unless the plant Is accepted. nondMiicn Are Itelleved. The terms of the contract require that when the crematory Is completed and Is accepted - as to the quality of workmanship, the payments, totalling 60 per cent of the contract price, must be paid by the city. Thla was done, and the bondsmen hare been relieved frcm further responsibility, and I can't under stand how we can get that money back again If the tests fall and the city ro fuea f Inally to accept the plant." . Mr. Barbur la preparing a letter which he will formally present to City Attorney Grant, asking him If the bills covering the excessive cost for burning garbage during January can legally be paid by the city. The contract entered Into for the con struction of the crematory provides that 14 per cent of the contract price must be paid when half of the work is done; 30 per cent when the plant la completed and ready for the beginning of the testa, and 0 per cent when the tests linve been successfully completed. The first two payments, totalling 0 per cent of the entire contract price of the plant, should be paid only on the recommenda tion of the City Engineer, who is the cliv's representative to see that the contract conditions are properly fulfilled. Balance Due Is $10,000. The entire contract price Is approxi mately lluO.OOu. and thus there Is still remaining to be paid by the city $10. 000. This payment, according to the terms of the contract. Is not to be mude unless the phint proves, during tests cov ering 180 calendar days, that It can con sumo garbage In quantities and at ths cost specified In the contract. The test period will not be completed until the latter part of May. but the Board of Health may atop the operation of the plant at any time It Is found that It cannot burn garbage as provided In the tests. According to the teims of the contract, the crematory must burn garbage at a cost of from 48 to 60 cents a ton, ac cording to conditions, but during the month of January, while the tests were being made, the cost of burning the garbage averaged II. Zi a ton. The Board of Health, at Its meeting Wed nesday morning, authorised the contin uance of the tests for two weeks, at the end of which time ths Board will de termine what further action can be taken. REDUCED RATE DELAYED RAILROAD WOtXD MAKE NEW TARIFF INTERSTATE. Avoidance of Confusing Schedules More Ttian Compensates for Drop In Receipts. Application of ths reduced rates on freight between Portland and Southern Oregon points on the Southern Pacific which will be Imperative as a result of the Federal Court's decision In re fusing to grsnt tha railroad company an Injunction against the State Rail road Commission last week, has been deferred, pending action from the In terstate Commerce Commission at Washington, on the request to make the new tariff applicable to Interstate, as well as Intrastate, business. Following the court action of last week the state commissioners were ap pealed to by local officials of the Southern Pacific for permission to withhold application until authority could bs received from Washington to make the reduction on goods passing over tha state line as well as on that remaining In the .state, as two sets of tsrlffs will be confusing to ths agents of the company. Copies of the proposed tariff were started to Washington on the first mall and a telegraphic request was sent. While the mall has not yet reached Washington, several replies have been received to the telegTapblo 4 message. Soma of these have not been encouraging to the officials, who want to have the reduction go lnts ef fect at once. If the Federal commission fails to grant the request It will be necessary to wait the usual period of 30 days after the tariff Is received in Washing ton before application of rates can be mad on Interstate traffic. In several past Instances, however, the commis sion has waived the 30-day rule. Shippers will be sure to take advant age of the lower rate across the state. Freight started at Seattle, for Instance, could be billed to Portland at the pres ent Interstate rate, and then recon slgned here to Its destination In South ern Oregon at the new rate. This would cause an unnecessary lot of work at the freighthouses ss well ss In the offices. While the railroad would be collecting the higher rate for the Inter state haul, this difference. It Is figured, would be more than overcome by the added amount of work In the clerical and freight handling departments. This difficulty would result on all business based on Portland combina tions on freight originating out of the state. It Is expected that the Issue will be settled so that the new rate can be mndo effective for business accepted Monday morning. JOYRIDERS GET WARNING ev Sheriff Stevens Clamps IId on Roud Iiouses Now. Joyriders may not hereafer indulge themselves In wild revels and unre strained gaiety at outlying roadhouses; that Is. unless they wish to risk being seen In court. Sheriff Stevens soldered the lid on the roadhouses yesterday and gave out the edict that Joy-rldlng hereafter must be reduced to at least semi-respectable limits. At least two roadhouses will be put out of business by the terms of the Sheriffs order. The two are the Seven-Mile House on the Section Line Road and the Cliff Inn on the Llnnton Road. Merrill's place on the Base Line Road will have to quit or get a license or resort to blind-pig practice. The several other places will have to ob serve closely the rules of propriety. "So long as tlte places observe the law they will not be molested." eald Sheriff Stevens with reference to the roadhouses having county licenses. "But hereafter officers will drop out to the roadhouses at frequent and un expected hours and any disturbances will result In arrests." Cliff Inn and the Seven-Mile House will be closed because of having no county licenses. Merrill wtll be ordered out of business, but he cannot be com pelled to shut his doors on account of having his residence at the Twelve Mile House he conducts. "My deputies have made frequent Inspections of the various roadhouses and the proprietors have had warn ings." said Sheriff Stevens. "Some of the licensed places have made a point of following the law. But those with out licenses have been the most notor ious. The law must be strictly fol lowed, both as to Sunday sale of liquor and orderly conduct of patrons and proprietors." Deputies making the rounds of these places hereafter will operate with or ders to let no persons escape from any roadhouse where dlsorde Is found. PAVING TO BE WATCHED Defective Work M ill Xot Be Accept ed, City Official Says. "Property owners on Mllwaukle street need not fear that the pave ment laid so far will be accepted," said T. SI. Hurlburt. acting for City Engineer Morris, who Is 111, yes'erday. in speaking of the improvement of that street Belief was expressed at a meeting of property owners Wednesday night that the part paved between Beacon and Holgate streets might be accepted. This pavement Is declared to be de fective, having been laid with Inferior cement. Mr. Hurlburt also said that the pavement laid on Kast Twenty first street would have to be relald. The Hassam Paving Company is the contractor on both streets. George M. Hyland, of the Hassam Company, told the Waverly-Rlchmond Club that the company would make that Improvement satisfactory and also would make the Mllwaukle street good where It was defective. Mr. Hyland said that some outside cement had been supplied which was presumed to be good, but which had proved to be Inferior. H- L. Bellarts charged that the cost of the pavement was exces sive and said that attorneys had said that thero was certain ground for damages against the company. Other property owners. F. G. Urfer. U. M. rot, J. C. lleckman and C. U Urfer. did not agree that to 'go Into the court was the best course to take, and It was decided to appoint a special committee to confer with the City Engineer con cerning the Improvement and F. O. Urfer. II. L. Bellarts and J. C. Heck man were appointed. It was the sense of the meeting also that the property owners should ap point a special Inspector to watch the Improvement when work Is resumed.

Estimated Cost of $4500 a Room Is Xot In Excess of That of Non Fireproof Structure. The new school law prepared by the Civic council and approved by the School Board la being engrossed and will be presented to the Legislature not later than next Monday. With this legisla tion out of the way the Civic Council has renewed lta campaign for fireproof schoolhouees. Newton C. Gauntt. an Eastern archi tect, who has made a specialty of constructing- school buildings, has prepared plana for a concrete building, strictly fire proof, and providing the latest heating and ventilating process, for the Civic Council. The Civic Council, through John H. Haak. told the Board that a fire proof building could be built for approxi mately the sajne amount the Board has been paying for wood construction. The Board asked for plan and specific data. Architect Gauntt was then requested to prepare plana to he submitted to tha Board as soon as tha Civic Council can obtain a meeting. Architect Gauntt says that a concrete building can be constructed for W300 to a room, the leaser price being for an entire building and the hither price for units of a building. "I believe the Board's figure will show that buildings have been costing all the way from HuOO to liSOO a room," said Mr. Haak yesterday. "A concrete build ing can be -constructed for practically the same amount of money and besides will be fire proof, last longer, be safer and more sanitary. The Board has agreed to look at the planai of Mr. Gauntt and hear him tell how it can be done. The plans will soon be finished and aa soon as I am able to make an appointment with the Board, we will go over tha entire matter of school build ings." . : SEWER ROUTE PROTESTED Slass Meeting Is Called to Urge Change to Avoid Tunnel. Arrangementa have been completed for a mass meeting tonight In Grebel's Hall, at the end of the Montavllla car line, to protest against the route se lected for the trunk sewer of the Sul livan's Gulch district. According to a survey mads by C. A. Groat, of Center Addition, a saving of more than $100, 000 can be made by changing the route from East Twenty-ninth street to East Fifty-first street into Sullivan's Gulch, by avoiding the construction of a big tunnel to East Twenty-ninth. The Montavllla Board of Trade has taken the subject up, and the meeting tonight will be held under its auspices. Mr. Groat will have maps and figures to support his contention that a big saving can be made by turning the main sewer Into Sullivan's Gulch by way of East Fifty-fifth street and not by way of Laurelhurst. A large terri tory is interested part of the Rose City Park district, all of Center Ad dition, North Mount Tabor and Monta vllla. It may be Coffee Prove by change to 10 days.
