The measure, which is a compromise between the fraternal and charitable organizations on the one side and the city department for the safety of girls on the other, went through with but little opposiion, the only objection be ing that aeainst exempting dances given by clubs and societies where ad mission is charged. The ordinance provides that no' pub lic dances excepting those given by bona fide clubs and societies shall be held until a certificate of registration shall have been obtained from the City Auditor. Each certificate shall be for a period of three months and a fee ranging from 13.25 to 1I.B0 is re quired. The dancehall must comply with rigid restrictions regarding safety and sanitation. The Mayor is authorized to appoint one or more policemen as dancehall inspectors, whose duty -it shall be to see that the law is strictly lived up to. The inspectors are given absolute authority over the halls. Bars Are Forblddea. Issuance of return checks or main tenance of a barroom in connection with or adjacent to a dancehall is pro hibited. Provision is made against the admission of women or girls for a smaller tea than one-half the fee charged for males. Sunday dancing is prohibited, as Is also the sale of liquor In any form within the halL Fancy dancing, such as the "turkey trot" and the "bunny hup," is prohibited. Mid night Is set as the hour for the conclu sion of all public dances and minors are required to leave not later than 8 o'clock. The ordinance exempts "any dances r halls conducted in private homes or under the auspices of the school dis trict, the park board or any fraternal, charitable or benevolent organization having a regular membership associat ed primarily for their mutual physical ami mental welfare and conducting lances the revenue of which accrues to such fraternal, charitable or benevolent association." Objection was made by Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, of the department of safety for girls, to these exemptions and an effort was made to eliminate them, placing all dances under the same reg ulations, but the plan failed. Mrs. Baldwin says her department is will ing to experiment with the new plan ami hopes to be able to bring about better dnncehall conditions. The or dinance legalizes public dancing, which has been under the ban in Portland about a year. Milk Caaa Tader Baa. The Council put through a new milk ordinance yesterday, requiring retail dealers to deliver milk and cream in bottles and prohibiting the delivery in bulk or cans. The measure also pre scribes a system of pasteurization and establishes standards tor milk. Milk, the ordinance provides, shall contain butterfat and solids as required under the Federal regulations. With but few dissenting votes, two proposed charter amendments which J. B. Zlegier and V. C Benbow re quested the Council to place on the ballot at the May election were indefi nitely postponed. The measure wlitch Mr. Ziegler asked to have submitted under the initiative provided for the establishment of a common-user regu lation Vovering al! territory within 1000 feet of the Willamette Hlver within the city limits. I'nder the plan as pro posed all franchises and-revocable per mits granted t railroad companies or other corporations in this zone would be subject to tile common use of all companies. The measure which Mr. Benbow asked to have placej on the ballot provided that if the commission form of govern ment is adopted t-y the people the, Public loek Commission shall continue as an organization separate from the city commission. The two measures were defeated on the ground that the Zeigler amendment can be put through when there Is need for tt and the Benbow measure can be submitted to tlte people after commis sion government carries. An ordinance was passed requiring the Installation In ail workshops ana stores of seats for employes, to be used during leisure time. The measure re quires one seat for every three em ployes. Memorial to Be Engrossed. A memorial was adopted asking the Federal Government to turn the bat tleship Oregon over to the Naval Mi litia of Oregon as a practice ship. The request, with the unanimous vote of the Council, will be forwarded in en grossed form to the Navy Department in Washington. The practice of ambulances oper ated by private concerns breaking the speed limit in responding to emergency calls was terminated by the passage of an ordinance requiring such vehicles to comply with the city speed regulations and the other street regulations to which ordinary vehicles are subjected. The speed limit in the fire limits is IS miles an hour and in the residence sec tion 23 miles an hour. The anti-cigarette ordinance was amended to prohibit the sale to boys under 21 years of tobacco in any form. In addition to a severe penalty for the sale of tobacco to minors a penalty Is provided for Its use by minors. The ordinance was drafted by various social organizations after investigation showed that boys were being given cigars and tobacco and they were be coming addicted to the habit. Because .of the fact that many of the macadam streets are being cut up by heaily loaded wagons, an ordinance was passed prescribing the width of wagon tire to be required, based on the weight of the load. For a load of 3500 pounds a three-inch tire is required; for 4000 pounds, a 3-inch tire; for 600) pounds, a 4-inch tire; for 8000 pounds, a 5-inch tire, and for loads in excess of 8000 pounds a tire of at least inches. Special Meeting Called. Ways and means of preventing the confiscation of property along Sandy boulevard because of the high assess' ments for paving were considered at length and finally led to a call for a special aojourned meeting of the coun cil on Thursday of next week at 10 A. M. The question came up under an ordinance providing for assessing the cost of the improvement to the prop erty owners. The ordinance Is the usual legal procedure of definitely as sessing property for improvements. It was pointed out that the assess ments against some of the lots were so high that the property owners could not take advantage of the city s bona ing act, the assessments being more than the assessed valuation. The act provides that the property may be bonded up to its assessed valuation. In such Drocedure the city advances the amount of the assessed valuation to the contractor and the city holds a lien or mortgage against the propirty. The owner has ten years in which to reimburse the city and pays Interest at the rate of 6 per cent. Protection Bring Devised. Bv nutting through the ordinance as sessing the cost of improvements, the property owners would be caiiea upon Immediately to Day their assessments. Many of them declare that they would be unable to make the payments, ana being unable to bond the property, the contractor could confiscate it. In calling a special meeting the Council plans on requesting the con tractor. In this case the Oregon In dependent Paving Company, to promise to protect the property owners Dy giving them time in which to pay where they are unable to make pay ments at once or to take advantage of the bonding act. A committee compris ing Councilmen Baker and Schmeer was appointed to confer with the contrac tors. The committee will finish its work and be ready to report Thursday, at which time the Council will close up the Sandy boulevard troubles, which have been hanging fire since the latter part -of December last year. After much controversy the Council passed an ordinance granting the Port land Railway, Light & Power Company an extension of time until July 1 to finish placing fenders on streetcars. A resolution to that effect was passed about two months ago, but those In terested desired to have the extension granted in ordinance form. An at tempt was made to Indefinitely post pone the ordinance on the ground that it Is a plan to affect the fender cases now in the Circuit Courts. Indefinite postponement failed and the ordinance was passed by vote oi to . Sanding Measure Passed. After manv months of consideration the Council Anally passed an ordinance providing for the appropriation of 8750 to pay the cost of sanding the streets In stormy weather. It is proposed to sprinkle sand on all thoroughfares which are made slippery Dy reason oi rain or Ice to lessen the danger to horses. Because of objections to their final passage the proposed newsboys ordi nance and an ordinance prohibiting nnnram vendors and others from stand ing within a block of the city, parks went over for two weeks. Councilman Clyde objected to the final passage of the popcorn measure and Councilman Watklns to the newsDoy ordinance. The proposed franchise granting the Northwestern Electric Company the right to extend a heating system throughout the city was sent to the Executive Board for valuation. It will come back to the Council at the next meeting and will then be up for ad vertising, after which It will come up for final passage. Jefferson Contract Is lt JEFFERSON. Or March 26. (Spe cial.)
