CITY IS GO TODAY
Portland's First Election Held
. April 7, 1851". .
ONE VOTE -BOOTH ENOUGH
Mnniclpal Government Has Birth
day Marvelous Growth Noted by
3Iayor Simon Who Came Here
Four Years Later.
Portland's municipal government Is
fa years old today. Its first election
having been held April- 7. 1851. It
was held In a small and Insignificant
house on Front street, the exsct loca
tion not being- known at this time.
There was but the one precinct. Pome
Idea of the tremendous growth since
sttained may be had when It Is known
that the city now has 165 voting places
In as many precincts, that number be
ing required for the primaries and gen
eral election, soon to be held.
"It Is Indeed nisrvelous how Port
land haa grown since Its first election."
said Mayor Simon yesterday. "While
I was not here at that time, I came
but four years later.
Marvelous Growth Noted.
"There was then but one house on the
Rsst Side, near where ;at Morrison
street now Is. There were mighty few
houses on. the West Side, either, ss I
remember. Since then, however, there
hss been a ateady growth until Port
land la now one of the first cities of
the United States and Is moving on to
become the greatest on the Pacific
Coast. There Is no city more beauti
ful or more prosperous."
Uugh D. O'Bryant was elected first
Mayor of the then Insignificant "city."
Joseph 8. Smith, his opponent, was de
feated by four votes. At that time, tha
Coucll consisted of live members, but
that body Is now composed of three times
that many, divided Into ten warda and
having five Counrllmen who are elected
at-large. The first ordinance passed
by the Council wss that creating the
office of City Marshal. Hiram Wllber
was elected Immediately to fill the po
sition.
In those days, the "city" was un
pretentious and had ho handsome City
Hall, such as now houses the city offi
ces. The Council therefore had to rent
whatever It could find In the way of
a building In which to meet. The house
home of Councilman Robinson was
rented for three months, at 3o a
month. Tha people were progressive
and demanded fire protection, so a tax
was levied for the purchase of a Are
engine. ,
Expense Total Leaps.
Starting ut with one Marshal and
one fire engine. Portland now has a
police force composed of more than
200 men and has fire companies scat
tered over all the city, employing
nearly 400 officers and men. It costs
$25,000 a month for police salaries
alone now and 130,000 for salaries of
Bremen.
The people now think little or noth
ing of voting bond tssues of millions
of dollars for municipal purposes, and
It costs ft.S0O.000 to operate the city
government this year, aside from pur
poses for which taxes are levied as
strictly municipal funds, such aa
schools. Port of Portland and the like.

The question of purchasing the local

duced an ordinance calling for the In
rurrlng of a general indebtedness of
$30,000 to purchase the waterworks
system, and S20.000 additional for re
pairing and bettering the system. The
ordinance passed lLsf first and second
reading, at which time several of the
voters and taxpayers of the city object
ed to the method of taking over the
plant. Inasmuch aa the Council had no
knowledge of the present value of the
system. -
Further, that the proper way to ac
quire the plant was through condem
nation or eminent domain proceedings,
thereby guaranteeing the City of Pasco

petent engineers to examine the plant.

had both come from the people. He
said that he objected to having it an
nounced that the railroad company had
reopened the freight depot question.
"It haa been aald in some of the

of streets," said Mr. O'Brien, "but we are
trying to do nothing of the sort. Tour
committee came to my office last week
and asked about the freight depot, and
I told what we could do toward building
a depot and providing -trackage. I again
say that the mbney is ready to build
the depot, make the fills required and
provide trackage, for the East Side. I
said that It was necessary to use certain
streets if the depot is to be built in the
central portion oX the district. IX the
streets are vacated, the city retains
every facility to cross the tracks over

$100,000 to spend in making these de

the railroad company would do and sub

The resolution also directs that -the
