MOVIE MEN GIVE AID
MEETINGS TO MARK ACTIVE PART
ITT CITY BEAUTIFUL PLANS.
Committee of Exhibitors Narard to
Co-operate and Slides Will Keep
Campaign Before People. .
Motion picture men of Portland will
have an active part In the city beau
tiful plana of the 1915 Rose Festival
Association. Edwin F. James, presi
dent of the Motion Picture Exhibitors'
League and manager of the Majestic
Theater has named a committee of
prominent exhibitors of the city to co
operate with the city beautiful com
mittee, of which Julius L. Meier Is
general chairman.
The committee consists of Oscar T.
Bergner, of the Columbia The.ier; D.
Soils Cohen. Peoples Amusement Com
pany: H. C. Phillips, Tlvolt Theater and
W. E. Stevens, of the Woodlawn
Theater. President James will act aa
chairman of the committee. Stevens
is secretary of the exhibitors league.
in reading of the plans of the 1915
Rose Festival Association," said James
yesterday, "it seemed to me that the
board of governors have started off
along right lines,
"I believe the motion picture men of
the city can be of great service in
this campaign, especially the next few1
months. Slides in the different thea
ters in both the city and residential
districts will serve to keep the cam
paign fresh in the minds of theater
patrons and we can urge them to
beautify their lawns, vacant lots or
parking strips to give the city the
best possible appearance this year.
"With the city divided into districts,
perhaps the suburban motion picture
theater can be made the central morn
ing meeting place of the special com
mittee for that particular section.
Usually, the location of the theater is
well known and it could serve as the
headquarters for the district."
TARDY REPORTS BLAMED
Health Officer Traces Cause of De
crease in Birth Kate for 1914.
Believing that a decrease In the birth
rate In Portland In 1914 was due in part
to failure of physicians and others to
report properly all births. City Health
Officer Marcellus yesterday started a
campaign to require all doctors, mid
wives and others handling birth cases
to report at once, as required by the
city ordinances.
It is said by Dr. Marcellus that in
many cases physicians are months be
hind in their reports. This probably is
the reason for the apparent dropping
off of the number of births In 1914.
He says it is probable that when the
record for the year is completed the
birth rate will be much higher than
that compiled from the records as they
stand.
CITY WOULD TAKE ROAD
COTJJfTY IS ASKED TO TURN OVER
LINNTON BOULEVARD.
Nicolal-Street Property Owners and
Others Propose Paving From Front
to Portland Boundary Line.
The first step on the part of the city
and property owners in North Port
land to pave Nicolai street and Linnton
road from Front street through to the
city limits was taken yesterday, when
City Commissioner Dieck asked the
Board of County Commissioners to turn
over the road to the city as a city
street. It is now owned and maintained
as a county road.
In a long petition property owners
urge tne city to take over tne street.
promptly that paving may be com
pleted by next Spring or Summer.
Improvement of Nicolai street has
been contemplated for some time, but
the property owners found an obstacle
in the fact that the county had juris
diction, the road never having been
turned over to the city, although it is
inside the city limits.
The improvement proposed by the
city and the property owners Includes
removal of a grade near Twenty-sixth
street. This will necessitate removal
of a knoll and the making of a eut of
several feet. With this improvement
He is all right. I'll hide and Jump out
when he gets along here."
He turned to look for a good place
to hide and saw an old hogdbead with
one end gone lying at one side of the
road.
Billy Goat went into the hogshead
head first. He did not stop to think ha
completed only one slight grade will be
encountered in passing from the Linn
ton road to the business district. At
present the entrance to Linnton road
passes the Forestry building and has
a grade of about 10 per rent. It is ex
pected that improvement of Nicolai
street will divert traffic from the old
route to the new, bringing traffic to a
number of hard-surfaced streets run
ning into Nicolai street Instead of Into
Thurman street, at the Forestry build'
ing, as at present.
Portland excursionist have arranged
to remain over until the following
Monday, aa the O.-W. 11. A N. Com
pany has granted a reduced round-trip
rate with return privileges until the
following week.
