SUMMER PLANS OUTLINED
Grratly lnrrrad Hartl-Surfaf) to
Absorb Appropriation Made for
Swrrplnir and Sprinkling.
w Marhlne Ordered.
Tlth IS miles of hard-aurfac. pe
menta to kff p clean, the atraet-clean-ln
and sprinkling department will b
compelled this year, bc-a u m of th
nerasaarily lara". amount of money ro
culre.t la tha work to de-rote tha major
portion of Ita appropriation to the
ImproTementa. Macadam atrecta will
t fortunate to recrlva one oiling tor
tha aaaon.
Thai farts war developed at
meeting of tha street-cleaning commu
te, of tha KiKutlrt Board yesterday
afternoon, when Superintendent I "on
aidnon waa outlining Ma plana for tha
coming Summer. Itlds wera opened
for three power brooma and two Mush
log machine,, all for um on bard
aurfaca streets. Plds wera received
from tha Studebaker Company and
F.all aV Co.. both i'ortland concerns.
but aa some of the membera of tha
committee wara abaent no action waa
taken.
PatrmroU lu Come f1rt.
Aa the season for oiling la approach
Ins; rapidly. Samuel ConnelU chairman
of tha committee, asked a to tha
plana for the Summer. Mr. Imnaldson
replied that, as the hard-surfaca area
bad been Increased to nearly double
tha sua of last Summer, a large por
tion of tha year's appropriation would
nece.sartly hare to be used in clean
ing thee streets.
"It wl!l cost us a larva sum to keep
tha hard-surface streets In the down
town districts clean." said Mr. Ionald
son. "and I want to have enoucb
power brooma and flushers to clean tha
hard-surface pavements la tha sub
urbs at least onca every week. Thera
are many of them now which have not
been flushed or swept since they ware
lal-l "
Tha department flu'bea and sweeps
the down-town pavements every I
hours, and will continue to do so. but
It Is the outlying; thoroughfares that
are likely to be nealected because of
the tremendous Increase In the hard-surfai-e
area. Not only has the admin
istration doubled the pavements In the
past 1 months, but a vast amount of
work of thl, nature Is outlined for this
romlrc Simmer, and contracts aggra
vating millions of dollars have already
been let.
Allowance la Absorbed.
The city expended about $32,000 la
oiling the macadam streets and roads
last Simmer, but the department ap
propriation will not be sufficient this
season to Justify the expenditure of
so larva a sum, because the expense In
maintaining; clean pavements will be
so great that it will not be available.
Tha appropriation for street-cleaning
h'.s year Is SZXs.OOO. a very larre sum.
but Insufficient to oil ail of the ma
cadam streets and roads and properly
to sweep and flush all of the bard
surface pavements. It waa because of
the condition of the general fund and
the necessity of prolactins; It that
Mayor Simon vetoed the ordinance car
rylng ;'.000 for this department.
His veto waa sustained by the Council
last Wednesday.
I'ortland will have a good many more
miles of bard-surfaced streets when
work now under way Is completed
than Seattle has. and It Is because of
the rapid Increase in the mileage of
these Improvements that the cost of
operating; the street-cleaning depart
ment baa become so large.

CITY. OF 2,
OUTLINED IN PUN
Widening of Burnside Street Is
"Backbone" of Civic Archi
tect's Idea.
FUTURE IS KEPT IN MIND
East Side, Says E. II. Dennett. Will
Become Part of Main Business
, Cenlcr, Without Affecting
West Side Values.
Portland planned for a population of
1.000.000. with skyline boulesards, a
civic center, a modern parka-ay through
the business center by use of the park
blocks, and depot grounds for trans
portation liens are among some of the
prepared plans brought to this city
from Chicago by E. If. Bennett, archi
tect and builder of cities and member
of the firm of Burnham & Bennett, who
arrived in Portland last night.
Mr. Bennett is employed by the Clvlo
Improvement League, which has for its
purpose the adoption of a comprehen
sive plan for the development of tha
city aa a whole, including auch practi
cal features In its arrangement as will
ttrart the attention of the world and
add to the convenience of the people.
Mr. Bennett said last n'ght that he did
not wish to make public all the plans
which he had matured, for he felt It
to be his duty to permit the members
of the league to examine them first
and deride what should be given out
for publication. lie waa willing to say
that the "backbone" of his plan was
the widening- of Burns'de street.
Artery Is Essential.
Every city must have an artery. It
is as necessary as the main arteries to
the body for the proper circulation of
the blood or a trunk to the tree so that
the branches may get their sap.
"My plan for the City of Portland is
comprehensive and provides all that is
necessary for a city of 2.000.000. I
have found In my examination of cities
hat a business center always grows In
slse according to the population. Thla
appears to be quite axiomatic, but there
are. many things to be considered. The
business center of Portland Is bound to
grow with years, and on the West Side
fled that there is not enough ground
for a ritr of a large slse. It simnlv
tist widen out. and there being no 1
other place to go it will of necessity
go to the East Side. There will be no
depreciation of values, in my opinion,
providing the city has perfect freedom
f egress and ingress from and to each
Ide. For this reason I have arranged
for the widening of Burnside street and
Hawthorne avenue. This is the basic
principle froiA which I work.
"The Hawthorne bridge furnishes an
ther opportunity for a civic center.
which will run to the foothills. Upon
these blocks will be the publlo build
ings. When we reach Park street I
propose to utilize the blocks used for
park purposes, condemning those occu
pied by business blocks and running
clear to the depot or freight grounds.
Here I find a grand opportunity for the

From Burnside I propose to run a
radial street, to connect with the Cor
nell road. It Is 'my opinion that Mor
rlson street should cot be opened, for
in the exposition grounds I find a
splendid opportunity to place your ath
letic field and auditorium building. I
suggest that the little diamond-shape
tract near the grounds be taken over
by the city and the extension of Mor
rison street be provided by widening
Washington street sufficiently to make
curve for Morrison. Here would be a
beautiful opportunity to improve the
street and the appearance of the city
by having a sort of breathing place.
A great deal depends upon the wid
ening of Burnside street. It will not.
n my opinion. Injure the values of
Wnshington street. In fact it will ben
efit them. Washington street is rap.
idly becoming so congested that busi
ness Is transacted with a great deal of
difficulty now and it Is only in being
able to take care of the trade that the
security of the merchant exists today.
With Burnside widened, it is my opln- I
ion that much of the traffic will be re
lieved, and a proper distribution of the
masses will take place. With this wide
street It will be easier to distribute the
crowds in their distribution. I have
provided something of treatment of the

Comparisons Are Made.
I have examined some of the prin
cipal cities of the country with a view
of comparison as to what the future
will mean for Portland, and in e.very
case I found that the population and
the business center Increase, with a
corresponding ratio. With this fact in
mind it is necessary for big arteries to
take care of the situation.
"I sm anxious to have these plans in
such shape that when they are pre
sented to the public they will be appre
ciated. I have brought with me out
lines of the improvement as a whole,
with some sketches which are in color
work. These plans are still to ' be
worked out, and I do not think that
they will be ready for the newspapers
until some time in July."
Mr. Bennett will remain in the city
a week. He has been at work upon
plans for Minneapolis, which provided
for several .large arteries and which
were adopted by the city. Mr. Bennett
will nppear before the Public Dock
Commission in the course of his stay la
Portland.
Disappearance Reported to Police-.
Disappearance of Henry Connolly, 3i9
East Third street North last night, was
reported to the police by Mrs. Connolly.
She says her ljusband left the house
about 8 o'clock to go after some medi
cine for himself, saying that he would
return in a short time. His failure to
do so leads Mrs. Connolly to believe ha
has met with some accident.
Those Twinges of Kidney Backache
Those stabs of pain in the back over
the kidneys, are only warnings of kid
ney weakness.
Can't afford to neglect sick kidneys.
Kidney diseases are dangerous. A little
backache at first, or some difficulty about
passing the urine. Then comes uric pois
oning, dropsy or gravel and the tenden
cy is to drift into fatal Bright's disease.
If your back aches, or if urination is
too frequent, or too scanty or painful,
take Doan's Kidney Pills, and ward off
the more serious kidney ills. Doan's
have brought relief to many thousands
of kidney sufferers.
