MERCHANTS OPPOSE
ELECTRIC SIGN TAX
Many Declare New Ordinance
-Will Compel Abandonment
. of illuminations.
ACT AFFECTS 1400 STORES
JProtesls Filed AVUb City Charge Dou
ble Taxation and Injustice.
Matter Taken TTnder Consid
eration by Commissioner.
If the city enforces a recently passed
ordinance requiring: business bouses to
mr an annual license of from 10
cents to 15 cents a square foot for
illuminated signs, doiens of merchants
will turn out their slims or the street
cluster lights which they are required
to maintain. This was the announce
ment of many business men who at
tended a meeting- yesterday at the City
Hall at which Commissioner Bigeiow,
head of the license department, heard
protests against the new license ordi
nance which goes lnio eiieui aauu-
irr 1.
Those present declared that license
for illuminated signs is not only un
just and unfair, but Is double taxation
and a burden on business houses and
merchants which they cannot stand.
After a doien or more merchants spoke
uaalnst the proposal. Commissioner
Bigelow announced that he would take
the matter under consideration and de
cide whether or not the license shall
stand, be reduced or abolished.
Sla-aa Declared Benefit.
W. F. Woodward was one of the
principal speakers at the meeting. He
declared that the signs are a benefit
to tho city In many ways. "In the
first place," he said. " "the city must
have well lighted streets. II tnese
lights must be maintained by the city
at public expense the ouraen win ie
upon the taxpayer. If It Is to oe
borne by the merchant It seems to me
to be sufficient that he pay the cost
of maintaining the sign. I cannot see
any equity in the plan of his having
to pay the city to help illuminate tne
streets.
"It Is true that the merchant de
rives a benefit, but I dare say that
his benefit is no greater than the
benefit to the general public. The
mall merchant Is the man whose in
terests should be looked after by the
city if the city's commerce is to thrive.
It Is his interest the city should strug
gle to enhance. The license la placing
an additional handicap against hlra by
requrlng him to pay for something
that Is helping him to build up the
business end of the city.".
Barries Declared I'ajaat.
J. H. Joyce declared that the mer
chant Is overtaxed at present By niv
ing to subscribe to charity and to pub
lic affairs. "To place a license against
our signs, which are used to beautify
the streets and make fortiana iook
like a city," he said, "is to place Just
one more burden upon us and it is
unjust and unfair."
Ht Filers declared that this is the
most Inopportune time to Impose such
a penalty upon the busness men of the
city. "There is no question but that
if this ordinance le enforced many
signs will be shut off." he said.
V. Margullla said that because of
the cost of power and other expenses
he has already had to shut down two
of bis signs and he says he knows of
others who will have to shut down if
they have to pay more.
Others who were of the same opin
ion Included F. J. Glass, F. O. Buffum,
O. H. Holtxclaw and J. Dellar.
Soaae Pay Lteeane
The new ordinance calls for the pay
ment by the owner of an Illuminated
sign of 10 cents a square foot each
year for signs lighted on both sides
and IS cents a square foot for signs
lighted on only one side. The ordi
nance was passed some t,lme ago to
take effect January 1. So far a num
ber of merchants have paid the license
under protest and many others have
refused, saying they will shut them
off if additional expense ' is Imposed.
The ordinance, it is said, will require
licenses from about 1400 signs.
Commissioner Bigelow said at the
meeting yesterday that other cities,
including New Tork. require a license
for signs and that it has been consid
ered equitable here. He says the mer
chant puts the sign up as an advertis
ing medium and not particularly for
Its Illuminating value to the streets.

CITY AND COUNTY
ROAD PLANS MADE

of 60 Miles of Highways
Not Owned Already.
ADVISORY BOARD WILL ACT
INITIATIVE GHANGE UP
COIKTT GRANGES CONSIDER . TOG-
ISO MORE SIGNATURES.
eaolationa Ad-rocatlaa Iacreaaiaa; Fer-
ceataare to IS Peidlai for Action
at Meetlns la March.
Grangers of this county are consid
ering the advisability of urging a
change in the Initiative so as to in
crease the per cent of signatures re
quired from 8 to 15. W. H. H. Dufur.
of Woodlawn Grange, presented resolu
tions to Pomona Grange at Woodlawn
Grange some time ago. which . were
adopted without much discussion at the
time. But since then the resolutions
have caused much discussion and they
are now pending. The question of
changing the percentage of signatures
has been under consideration lor more
than two years, but the only action
taken was at Woodlawn last Septem
ber.
These resolutions came up for con
sideration at Pomona Grange meeting
at Kockwood. and. after extended dis
cussion, the whole matter was con
tinued until next March at the meeting
which will be held at Russellvllle.
Meanwhile the resolutions are being
discussed at Grange meetings, at which
there is wide difference of opinion.
It Is set forth in the resolutions that
the small percentage now required
often is taken advantage of by "design
ing persons to Initiate pet measures of
their own that are both useless and
cumbersome to the ballot, misleading
and confusing to the voters." The clos
ing resolution of the several, which
contains the gist of the whole ques
tion before the granges of this county,
is as follows:
Resolved. That we favor the amend- I
ment to the Initiative that will require
the signatures of not less than 15 per
cent of the legal voters of the state to
initiate and place it (any measure)
upon the ballot to be voted upon at the
general election thereafter."
This subject will he made a special
subject at the next meeting of Pomona
Grange. If adopted, the resolutions
will be taken to the State Grange,
which will meet in May.
Work Done on 3Iultnomah Thorough
fares Will Be In Conformity With
City Requirements So as to
Become Streets Later.
Multnomah County Commissioners and
the Commissioners of the City of Port
land will co-operate in planning for the
development of such county roads as lie
within the city limits of Portland, a
portion of the roads being taken over
by the city and developed, and the work
on the others attended to by the coun
ty, with the city co-operating In an
advisory way. There are 60 miles of
county road within the city limits, much
of which has become city streets.
Arrangements for this co-operation
between city and county were made at
a Joint meeting of the County and City
Commissioners held at the Commercial
Club yesterday. It was arranged that
an advisory board consisting of four
representatives appointed by the coun
ty and four by the city, with Road
master Teon ex-offlcio chairman,
should be organized to assist in the
work.
County Representatives Named.
The County Commissioners and the
roadmaster immediately appointed C. B.
Sewall, John F. Carroll, A. L. Fish and
O. C. Leiter to. serve on the advisory
committee. Commissioner Brewster an
nounced that he would refer the matter
to the Council at its meeting Wednes
day and have the City Commission as a
whole make the selection of its repre
sentatives on the committee.
Commissioner Dleck has been asked
by the County Commissioners to check
up as soon as possible such stretches of
county road within the city limits as it
is intended to take over at once and
improve as streets. Re will also check
up other county roads within the city
and report back. It will be determined
then by Mr. Dleck and Mr. Teon what
proportion of this remainder shall te
Improved by the city and what by the
county.
Tentative Programme Outlined.
Commissioner Brewster, in making
his motion that an advisory committee
be appointed, urged the importance of
considering the provision of the Port
land Flans Association, which, he said,
had paid the most careful attention to
the solution of problems of traffic
The representatives of the county met
later and formulated a tentative plan
which will be considered at a future
meeting. The plan is to organize on
main-artery roads running into the
city separate assessment districts ex
tending bait a mile on either side of
the road. The road witnin tne city win
then be improved with hard - surface
paving and sewer and water Improve
ments, In accordance with the plans of
the City Engineer, so that when it Is
taken over by the city it may con
form to the city's system.
Those present at the Joint meeting
yesterday were County Commissioners

If members of the City Commission
uphold Commissioner Brewster in rec
ommendations to be made tomorrow,
an auditorium committee will be ap
pointed and ready for work by next
Monday.
If Commissioner Brewster's recom

empowered to appoint a committee of
four persons to serve with himself as
an auditorium committee. He says he
believes he can select these persons
by Monday and arrange to have a meeting-
soon afterward to formulate plans
of procedure.
"I have talked the proposition over
in a tentative way with other mem
bers of the Commission," said Mr.
Brewster yesterday, "and I expect
there will be no objection to my plan.

cited by Mr. Fernsworth as one of the
Justifications for his activity on the
pretentious scale Indicated.
