THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1911. 13 CITIZENS TO BLOCK OfL TANK RULING South Portland Club Enters Protest Against Proposed New District. SECRECY MARKS PASSAGE 3Iayor Says He Will ot ApproT Ordinance Until Property Owners Affected Have Hearing. Insurance Companies Active. Mivnr Rushllsrht ha not slsmed th ordinance passed by the City Council at a SDecial meeting Wednesday morn ing, creatlngr five big oil districts In various sections of the city, and ne ae clared last night that he will go care fully into the details of it before tan lnar action. Protests from the districts prescribed In the ordinance are reaching the city officials, and last night the South Portland Improvement Club started an aggressive movement against the pro posed oil-tank area created by the or dlnance in that section of the city. Burt C. Jones, secretary of the club called upon Mayor Rushlight and en tered a verbal protest, asking him to withhold his signature, at least until the club and the citizens could have an opportunity to take action. Public to Have Hearing. When Mayor Rushlight left his office late yesterday afternoon he locked the ordinance in his desk, saying that tie would give it his attention- later. That he will give the pumio ample time m which to voice sentiment on the sub ject, is said to be certain. It Is be lieved that a mighty remonstrance will b& made against moving the tanks of 'the Standard and Union Oil Com panies from their present location on the East Side to any other section of the city. Owners of property declare there will be financial loss to themselves be cause of the establishment of rights to the oil companies In the various places. These protests will be gotten into tan gible form and will be laid before Mavor Rushlight as soon as possible, "We don't want any oil district in South Portland." said Secretary Jones, of the South Portland Club. "We don't need any such "Improvements. We shall make ourselves heard, too, in a way that will leave no room for doubt as to our feelings. We shall take im mediate action." little Publicity Given. The ordinance now before Mayor Rushlight was passed by the City Council without any publiicty what' ever. It was prepared in absolute se crecy by City Attorney Grant, acting under instructions from the special committee of three Councilmen, and was carried into the special Council meeting after the Mayor had called the Council to order. It was read by City Auditor Barbur at the request of Coun oilman Jennings, and was not listened to by the majority of the members, who were called' to order by the Mayor while It was being read. It had never been discussed in any public meeting, and the only person who was Informed on its provisions aside from the offi cials handling it was W. R. Roberts, who represents the insurance compa nies. Three months time is given the vari ous concerns affected in which to com ply with its provisions, which require the removal from the East Side of the tanks and buildings of the Standard and Union Companies and the construc tion of fireproof buildings and tanks In any or all of the districts created. Whether or not the companies will try to meet these requirements Is un known, because the subject has to be passed upon by the head offices of each before a decision is reached. The districts created He along the river, with the exception of that at Guild's Lake, where a big manufactur ing center is springing up. BOSTON BAND UNIFORMED Gay Navy Garb to Be Worn by Mu sicians When Reorganized. New uniforms, made expressly for the band of the Oregon Naval Militia, have been received at the office of Adjutant General Flnzer from the Navy Depart ment. The outfits are complete, with spiked helmets, white belts with regu lation brass plates, the usual decora tions on the blouse and other features as demanded in the Navy, making them much more attractive than other garb worn aboard the cruiser Boston. It is planned to reorganize the local band and a competent leader will be enlist ed, to have full charge. Young mVt with experience will be asked to join the organization and the uniforms will not be issued until the band is capable of making a showing. Lieutenant Bromberg, of the Boston, has received word from Captain Rey nolds that the vessel will leave Coos Bay between September 12 and Septem ber IS for Portland. He requested Har bormaster Speier yesterday to assist in obtaining a permanent berth for the cruiser, that she may be moored there, instead of In the stream, as before. Preparations are under way to add many new features to drills in the winter, which will be held twice a week, and with the aid of experienced men from the regular Navy, who will be avail able, it is expected that the organiza tion will be advanced to a high state of efficiency. tee has adopted the river road between Mllwaukle and Oregon city, ana is con siderlng Improvement of the road. A. N. Wills, who was a member of the committee which Investigated the routes between Milwaukle and Oregon City and selected the river road as the best, said yesterday that it can be im proved easily,' as there Is plenty of rock which may be crushed near the road. There is a quarry at Rock Island on the East Side. Mr. Wills Is opposed to the construc tion of a new bridge across the Clacka mas River, and believes the present county bridge is sufficient and ought to be used. A few members of the association are urging that a new bridge be built across the Clackamas river near the point where It empties into the Willamette. This would make a more direct route and shorten the road to ' Oregon City, but would make an expense of $10,000 or 120,000 for the bridge, which Mr. Wills believes can be avoided. . "It will take considerable money to build the road from Mllwaukle to Ore gon City," said Mr. Wills, "and I would suggest that as much money as possi ble be raised by subscription among those who live near the road and who will receive direct benefit from it. Men who have homes on the road will get the most benefit, of course. The road is to be built in Clackamas County, but we of Multnomah County should do all we can in aiding the construction of the road financially. We should first undertake to raise all the money we can by subscription, and then levy a tax on the districts to raise the bal ance required. A viaduct should be built above the Southern Pacific and electric tracks at the south side of Mllwaukle to avoid all chances of acci dent. The hill also can be cut down so there will be only a 3 per cent grade out of Milwaukie." IRISH ASSEMBLE TODAY SOCIETIES OP ERUf TO HEAR FATHER O'FXANAGAX. .

Preparations are complete for the meeting of Irishmen of the city,- under the auspices of the various Irish so cleties of Portland at the Baker Thea ter tonight. The object of the meeting is to organize a branch of the Gaelic League Alliance in Portland, to keep residents here In touch with the work of the league In Ireland, and to organ ize them in support of it. Father Michael O Flanagan, who has been In this country as a representative of the league since last October, will be the principal speaker, and a programme of Irish music, dancing and song will be presented by talent direct from Ire land. The Gaelic League was organized In Ireland In 1893, by Dr. Douglas Hyde, and Father Eugene O'Growney, and Is known across the waters as the "Irish Ireland Movement." It aims at promot- ng everything Irish, such as language, music, games and industries. Douglas Hyde, the president, is an Episcopalian, the son of an Episcopalian minister, while Father O'Growney, co-founder of the league with Dr. Hyde, is a Cath olic clergyman. All creeds are joining hands In promoting the work. The league also alms to unite the Scotch and Irish people In a closer bond. Father O Flannagan was a member of the board of executives of the league in Ireland at the time he left for America, but according to the regulations of the league, could not be re-elected at an election held 10 days ago, on account of his absence from Ireland. The posi tion he now fills as representative of the league in America Is regarded as the most Important office In the league next to that of president. He has lectured at publlo meetings In the principal cities of the East, and n many large Canadian cities. He Is on his way to California, where he will give a series of lectures in behalf of the league. He will attend the annual convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians next July in Chicago, after which he will leave for Ireland, hoping to reach there In time for the annual convention of the Gaelic League in the second week In August. His home is in Sllgo. Dr. Hyde, who was elected president at the founding of the league and has been chosen unanimously for that posi tlon every year since that time, was in the United States five years ago. and collected $55,000 for promotion of the work In Ireland at that time. The money is now almost exhausted, and the continuation of Dr. Hyde's work In raising additional funds for the league Is part of Father O Flanagan s mis sion in this country. The meeting today will begin at 8 clock, and is free to the Interested public. Wallace McCamant will pre side as chairman, and In addition to the address of Father O Flanagan, an address will be given by E. H. Deery. Eileen Noone 'will give .selections of Irish airs on the piano, Bridget O Quinn will dance the Irish reel and jig, Pauli- nus McDonald will play the Scotch gael Anna Twiss will dance and sing, and Frank D. Hennessy will sing "The Wearin' o' the Green. Representatives from the various Irish societies In the city will also be heard.
