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.

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.

PIBST ELECTRIC AID SURE
Lantern at Fort Stevens to Be Re
placed Wltli Brilliant Light.
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.

Mother's Friend
Before Baby Arrives
During several weeks of expectancy
there is a splendid external embrocation
in our "Mother's
Friend" in which
thousands of women
have the most un
bounded confidence.
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.
