Discovery by Frank W. Winn of a
alve whereby any person with a us-
Ire to do so could cut off th city1
water supply nearly a mil this aide of
the headworks. leaving th city with
out adequate supply, waa one feature
rf the trip of Mayor Rushlight. Engi
neer Clarke, of the Water board, and
Commissioner Winn to the Bull Run

That the .contractors on the second

ehould be compelled to put In a dou
ble meter system for measuring the
ater this side of the hradworka. in
stead of having but one meter and
yiarrowtng the pipe down mora than
Ci per cent thereby. Is another feature.
That the big conduit, which Is cost
ing the people of Portland tl.l&s.oos.
Is not going to be done In time to do
any good this season. Is still another
phase of the water situation that was
laacie plain by the visit of the officials.
Condole of Small Service.
Even If the conduit were finished Im
rnediately. owing to the non-completion
tof the reservoirs at Mount Tabor, It
would be of small service. Is another
Cart, according- to Commissioner Winn.
hlle Mayor Rushlight, after In
rpectlng the new pipeline and the re
verve at the Intake, did not care to die
russ the situation at great length, h
tlld say that he "will be surprised If th
conduit Is finished and water running:

gr-.prtage now or recently existing.

avaid Mr. Winn. "I would show no
tnercy to either Robert Wakefield

reservoirs, or to the Kohaw-Batcher
i'ompany. contractors for the new con
klult. I believe that. If there are any
unforeseen things, contractors should
jruard against them and that tbey can
rot expect the Board to overlook their
cellnquencles. A contract Is a con
tract, and both parties te It should
Ulde by Us terms.
Another Meter Wanted.
Fpeaklnr of his observations,
Minn said:
Mr.
"I shall recommend to the Board that
the contractors be obliged to Install an
ether meter this side of ths head work.
where now but one Is In position,
While the contractors maintain that, in
(running the pipe down more than to per
vent to measure the water does not
Irrpede the flow, no living man can con
vince me that this Is a fact, and I (hall
surge that another meter be put In. giv
ing no room for doubt that (he flow Is
kerfectly complete.
This meter connection, cutting down,
s It does, the else of the pipe mora
toAji one-half, was one of the features
to which attention was called by a
committee of Peninsula cltlsens. who
made an Investigation recently to find
why the pipeline Is not completed.
-I was surprised." aald Mr. Winn, "to
learn that there la a means, about one
alf mile this side of the head works.
whereby any one who so desires may
rot oft the city's water supply In the
rid conduit. In company with In spec
(or Maupln, I saw a gauge which con
iro'.s the supply. This I consider i
dangerous thing, and shall recommend
that It be taken out and that the only
rut-off be at the head works, right by
Lie Intake.
Bummed up. the water situation in
"ortland Is that, with the present
weather prevailing, there will be a good

STREET WORK IS RAPPED
Citizen Say Improvement on East
Sixth Is Undesirable.
George Prosser. of US East Sixth
street, has filed with City Auditor Bar-
bur complaint against the manner In
which th Inman-Poulsen Company has
filled and surfaced East Sixth street. lie
says:
"I wish to call your attention to the
matter of bad faith on the part of the
Inman-Poulsen Company in connection
with th improvement of East Sixth
street. Their man Friday (Shepherd)
went before the Council and promised
that If the Council would rescind the
extensive Improvement ordered by them
and allow the company to Oil up the
slough on Sixth with sawdust rilling.
which he assured th Council was lust
aa good as gravel nil. tney wouia
cover the same with gravel and put in
sidewalks so that the people could have
the use of It right away, or if not al
lowed to do so. they would fight th
matter all th way through th courts.
-Mr. Wills, their champion, assured
us that It should be done right away.
but Instead of doing th same they have
fenced up tbe street, to stop it being
used, and the gravel that should go on
th All is being used In other places."
