The committee of the Greater South Portland Bridge project la "waiting for the opinion of the City Attorney as to whether the bridge proposal ran be placed on the ballot at the special char ter election January as an Initiative measure authorized by the council or by petition. It had been decided to have the measure authorised by petition and be voted on at the aam time the com mission charter la submitted, thereby saving expense and time, but doubt has arisen as to whether It can go on tne ballot as an Initiative measure. If the City Attorney decldea that It can be made an Initiative measure petitions will be circulated. The committee baa listed the precincts that opposed the bridge and alms to meet this opposition In the next cam paign. It has been found, according to the report of the committee, that the large sum asked for at the June election waa the principal reason the bridge lost at the polls. The committee will not be called together by Chairman Day RafTetv until September, as it is ex pected that details for the next vote and campaign will be setuea ny tnat time. the scene of the oil tank Are In which Fire Chief Campbell was killed, but the Standard Oil Comapny will nrobablv be notified to move Its tanks within six months. The City Attorney wrote to the manager of the comapny. asking by wnat autnority the tanks are being main tained, and received In reply a reauest tor a personal interview. The Standard Oil Company is said to have been notl- ned that It Is storing oil on- East Water street contrary to the city ordinance. 'o Permit Is Found. Before the committee yesterday after noon Mr. Grant aald that one of his deputies and Deputy City Auditor Grutze looked through the city records for a permit granting the Standard Oil Com pany the right to maintain the tanks, and failed to find one. Mr. Grant said he had not had time to look through the records personally, but that he had heard this corporation obtained a Derm it from the old city of East Portland. Members of the committee, which con sists of Councllmen Baker, Burgard and Wutkins. expressed the opinion that the tanks now In existence were erected since East Portland became a Dart of the present municipality. Acting Fire Chief Laudenklos and City Fire Marshal Roberts were present at yesterday's meeting, as was Attorney w. M. Cake, -representing the Union Oil Company. Mr. Roberta showed the committee a ground plan of the arrange ment of the Standard s oil storage tanks in Seattle. They have been built in a pit. away from all costly buildings, and ire surrounded by a reinforced concrete wall 29 feet high, he said. He thought the arrangement a good one, and recom mended it for Portland. Restricted Plan Opposed. It waa suggested that two or three districts where the tanks could bo built might be selected, but to this the objec tion was made that property owners would put the property so high that It would be beyond a reasonable figure. Chairman Baker Insisted that all the oil companies ought to be treated alike. He said the Crystal Oil Company, owned by Balfour, Guthrie A Co waa operating from headquarters at the foot of Seven teenth atreet, and said It had been re ported to him that a tank had been con structed there. Fire Marshal Roberta aaM there were no tanks, and only a small building. City Attorney Grant said be did not favor the granting of special permits for the construction of buildings or tanks, because when the Council wishes to revoke the permit, the owners of the property take the case Into court nd In some Instances obtain damages from the city to the amount that the buildings are worth. As an Instance of this," he said, "just watch the fur fly when the Council at tempts to revoke the special permits for the use of streets here In the city. The committee granted the Mount Hood Brewing Company the privilege of constructing two fuel oil tanks, to hold carload each, at Marlon avenue and East Ninth street. In Sellwood. Per mission was also given to the Warren Construction Compsny to construct a flux oil tank at East Salmon and Water streets. This tank will be for the storing of asphaltum. 1 5 Warriors to Fight for Portland at Rochester Conclave.

The autoists jumped from the car. and In half ' an hour the machine waa lifted from the wrecked bridge to solid ground. It waa found that the engine was not disabled. More than 160 automobiles went over the bridge Saturday and Sunday, many of which were heavier than Mr. Kad derly "s car. The decking of the bridge gave way aa the machine reached the center, and only the bridge timbers held It up. With the assistance of Elijah Coalman, Mount Hood guide, who was In another machine, and others the auto mobile was lifted onto the ground Fourteen other automobiles were de layed by the wreck.

"While the water situation In Port land was much better last night than It waa a week ago. It does not yet justify the Water Board In restoring permission to sprinkle lawns In the evening, according to Superintendent Dodge.
