20 THE MORNING- OREGOXIA3T. FRIDAY, MAT 29, 1914. EFFICIENCY SYSTEM LAME SAYS MAYOR Admitting Certain Merits in Principle, City's' Executive . Says Change Is Needed. 'AN EXPERIMENT,' HE ADDS Old Clerks Declare Themselves In Constant Dread of Belngr Forced Out of Service by Operation of "Demerit'' Marks. Admitting that the city's so-called "efficiency system," brought here by the New Tork Bureau of Municipal Re search and adopted by the City Coun cil last year, to apply to all city em ployes, has proved defective. Mayor Al bee yesterday said he might take steps to have it modified and give it a fur ther trial. If it then fails to work out any better than it has during the first six months of its operation, he says, he will favor Its abolishment. Mayor Albee says he believes the system has merit and that it has done some good for the service, but he also says It has not been satisfactory to him. He says he does not believe that It should be administered differently In each department as, it is charged, is being done at present. It Is being ap plied vigorously by only one depart ment, while in others it is being recog nized only In part or not at all. The Mayor says he believes, If the city Is to have a system to govern Its em ployes, then all employes should be af fected alike, instead of having the sys tem Interpreted differently by the head of each department. ' Mayor Say It's Experiment, "When we adopted the system," said Mayor Albee yesterday, "I emphasized the fact that I considered it an experi ment. Like every business, a big change in administration cannot be brought about so that it will work smoothly at first. It is a process of trying out various propositions and picking out those that fit. "I had no idea that this efficiency system would work perfectly without being changed, but we had to put it into effect to see its results before knowing what changes were for the good. Personally, I believe some changes are necessary, if we are going to continue with it. We have found the defects and are in position now to remedy them. If the remedies fail then the system can be discarded and the city will have lost little financially." Commissioner Daly said yesterday that he believes the system can be worked, but not so Ions as each de partment is applying It differently. No other member of the Commission ex pressed any views, but it is under stood that at least one. Commissioner Kigelow, is not favorably impressed with the system. Commissioner Dieck apparently fa vors the system, as he is applying it vigorously to the detriment, it is said, of his department. One girl in his department said yesterday that she is so afraid of the system, as it is being administered, that phe cannot do her work properly. She is afraid to do any thing for fear of being demerited and finally put out of the service under Its operation. Clerks on Amtom Seat. A young woman In Mr. deck's de partment, who has been demerited nearly every month for various rea sons, also has said that she is so dis turbed that she cannot do her work properly. She says she is not given a. chance. This woman has been In the service for 10 years and has been spoken of highly by former City En gineers under whom she served. At one time she suffered a nervous break down through overwork. She says that she now is doing just the same work she did under tast administrations and la working harder and trying to do her best, yet she is the recipient of demerit marks nearly every month. It Is only a matter of time, it is said, until she will be demerited out of the service. Last month she received 20 demerits for in ability to properly perform her work, and, at the same time, was given 10 special merit" marks for being willing to perform work which the man over her has indicated, by the demerits, that che cannot do.

Cella Friendly, alter vlsitlns In San TWO PLANS HEARD FOR DOCK TRACKS Commission Wants Maximum Space for Cars on Slip at End of City Wharf. TEAM SCALES RATE FIXED County Gives Little Encouragement in Matter of Tax Rebate and City Attorney Is Asked to Ms ke I n qu try To obtain the maximum track space on the proposed slip and pier to be constructed at the north end of Muni cipal Dock No. 1, and not detract from the strength of the structure or increase the building: expense ma terially, the Commission of Public Xocks had ordered two estimates prepared. It received a report on the Question yesterday from G. B. Hegardt, chief engineer. His plans call for two parallel tracks alongside the slip, with a capacity for 11 cars. Mr. Hegardt explained that four ad ditional cars could be accommodated, if the tracks were extended to the harbor line, but to do so the outer end of the dock would have to be four feet lower than the main section, and in order to strengthen the dock to withstand Jars and shocks of large steamers, extra cost would have to be shouldered. The Commission authorized a' pay ment of $542 to the North Coast Con struction Company for installing team scales at the dock. Under an amended ordinance the rate for the use of the scales was fixed at 20 cents for each vehicle. Carrie M. Elwert filed a formal pro test against the payment of money to William Reld for lot four, block two, Fast Portland, which is part of the site for Municipal Dock No. 2 on the ground that the Supreme Court had not decreed in a recent opinion that Mr. Reid had title. The Commission had withheld $43,750 of the purchase price. The matter was referred to City Attorney LaRoche, j A. C. U. Berry, who has a contract i for building the second unit of dock j No. 1, was granted permission to j utilize a portion of space in the rear ; of the dock for the storage of timbers accumulating through the de- 1 struction of buildings on the property. While the proposed conference of Pacific Coast port authorities at Se attle has been postponed from June 2 to a date to be announced, F. W. Mulkey, chairman, and John Burgard will go there June 3 to confer with the Seattle officials. C. B. Moores, vice-chairman, was unanimously elected to represent the Commission at Flavel and Astoria June 3, when exercises will be held to commemorate the start ing of work on the Hill terminals at Flavel and the Astoria public docks at Smith's Point. Communications from the County Commissioners and the County Treas urer were read in which the Commis sion was given little encouragement in the matter of obtaining a rebate of taxes paid on property purchased from the Northern Pacific Terminal Company as part of the site of dock No. 1. It was ordered that the City Attorney be requested to investigate the matter. The City Attorney., was also asked to assist in the collection of more than $400 due on the Martin dock property as rent for part of a month previous to its vacation by the Portland Warehouse & Dock Company, and $17 due from owners of the gasoline schooner Anvil for a berth she occupied at the city levee. Ukase Investment Company asked the Commission to sanction an exten sion of its new dock. The City At torney was assigned the task of ad Justing the case. Tides at Astoria Friday. High.

Instead of a red lens lantern light of 50 candlepower. which is now main tained by the Bureau of Lighthouses on the Fort Stevens dock, tt the lower harbor as a range for mariners, an electric flashing: light of at least four times the intensity will be established there after July 1. Authority for the change has reached Henry L. Beck, Inspector of the Seventeenth Light house District, with the proviso that the work be deferred until new appro priations are available July 1. It will be the first lighted aid of the kind in Oregon, though a few have been tried on Puget Sound satisfactorily, and it is intended to place them on the Co lumbia where conditions warrant and electric energy is available. Mr. Beck has made Captain Macgenn, of the steamer Breakwater, happy through the announcement of his de termination to establish a bell buoy south by west from the south jetty. Captain Macgenn asked for such an aid while it was under consideration by Mr. . Beck. - He will place it when changes are made in aids on the bar June 1 so they will conform with the new channel.

They have used it and know. They tell of its wonderful in fluence to ease the abdominal muscles and how they avoid ed those dreaded stretching pains that are so much talked about This safe external application is gently used over the skin to render it amenable to the natural stretching which it undergoes. The myriad of nerve threads just beneath the skin is thus relieved of unnecessary pain-producing causes and great physical relief is the result as expressed by a host of happy mothers who write from experience. It is a subject that all women should be familiar with as "Mother's Friend" has been in use many years, and Is recom mended by grandmothers who in their ear lier days learned to rely upon this splendid aid to TTomen. Tou can obtain "Mother's Friend" at almost any drug store. Get a bottle to-day and then write for our little book so useful to expectant mothers.
