THE MORNING OREGONIAX, SATURDAY. AUGUST 29. 1914. I IDLE TO BE WARNED TO AVOID PORTLAND Committee Plans to Supply Hard Work With Little Pay to Undesirables. NOTICES TO BE SENT OUT Hospitality of City Iiast Winter Is Likely to Cause Influx of Un employed and Checking It Is to Be First Step. Llf, for the unemployed durins coming Winter will not be easy in Portland. This in effect will be the wording of a warning to be seni throughout the country in the next few weeks to head off any influx of idle laborers. It was decided upon yesterday by the committee on sea sonal employment. compris n the State Board of Control, the City Com mission and the Board of County Com missioners. It is the first important step in the campaign to be promoted to handle the unemployment problem. It has been reported that because Portland housed hundreds of the un employed In the Gypsy Smith auditor ium last Winter, the city has gained a reputation as a hospitable place and therefore will attract more than its hare of the Idle next Winter. ( Hard Work to Be Supplied. The committee decided to give ..i.. in advance that those prupcr ii iiiu6 ... . who come to Portland will have to work. It is planned to provide an ar ray of lobs with hard work and little pav for the influx of undesirables, it there is an Influx. Actual residents ot the city will be treated differently. Although the meeting was to have been attended by all the members Oovernor West and other members of the State Board of Control were not on hand, telephoning before the meet ing that they had another meeting to attend. There were present all the members of the City Commission and County Commissioner Holman. Secretary to Be Employed. The meeting by unanimous vote elected Mayor Albee permanent chair man of the general committee and ap pointed Commissioner Brewster a com mittee of one to select a secretary. He will endeavor to procure a man famil iar with the work and capable of con ducting a lively campaign. It is planned to provide a salary for the secretary. Although the question of what the committee should do to supply work to the unemployed was not discussed fully, it was the general opinion that residents of the city needing employ ment should be given work In the city, while laborers from out of town should be sent out of the city to do land clearing, rock-breaking and other lines of work. It was decided that the rock piles and the jails should be open to those who refuse to work. Rond Work Suggested. County Commissioner Holman said he Believed ine uoara 01 uviuiij v,um mlssioners would be willing to co operate supplying work on the roads. It was suggested that rock for county road repair work be broken by hand and that as much road construction as possible be done during the Winter. Mr. Holman said he would look Into this and see if it is practicable. Another meeting was arranged for next Friday, at which an effort will be nade to have all members of the com mittee present. At this definite plans tor finding work will be started. In the meantime County Commis ivioner Dieck will attempt to ascertain -miat land near Portland might be available for clearing during the Winter. ulty of the Oregon Agricultural College, is at the Seward.

Mrs. Henrietta VV. Calvin, of the fac- t im of Bull Run Aqua Will Be Re quired to Purchase Meter by December 1, Saya Daly. By order of City Commissioner Daly, all users of Bull Run water residing outside the city limits will be required to Install water meters by December 1. Orders to this effect were issued yesterday, and all the non-resident iiri will he notified as soon as pos sible. Each user will be required to purchase a meter, have It tested by the city and have it instanea. J.ne city will not attend to installation and will not furnish meters. Commissioner Daly says the meter plan will affect about 500 users. The cost td each, he says, should not amount to more than $9 or $10, Includ ing the cost of the meter, the charge for testing and the cost of installation. The city will make a charge of 50 cents for testing, the meters will cost between ?5 and $6, and the cost of in ntnllation should not be more than $3 or $3.50, Mr. Daly says. No particular make or style meter will be required excepting that it must meet the city's tests. The new order, Mr. Daly says, is nec essary because of the cost of main taining the outside water services on a flat-rate basis. By placing all these oorvirpB on meters. Mr. Daly says the work of the water department will be greatly reduced and the city will get its full amount of revenue. The meter rates for outside users will be 16 2-3 cents for each 100 cubic feet of water up to 600 cubic feet, and 124 cents for each additional 100 cubic feet. The minimum rate will be SI.
