his home, 605 Holly street, after an
illness of six months.
Mr. Wood was born at Ithymney,
Wales, in England. November 28, 1856,
He came to the United States in 1880.
Since 1882, when he left Bethlehem, Pa.,
Mr. Wood had remained in Portland.
In 1900, after having been in charge
of the construction of the several
torpedo-boats and merchant ships
built by the Wolff & Zwicker Iron
Works, he assisted in founding the Co-
umbia Engineering Works. It was due
to his constant representations to the
tockholders and his persistent en
thusiasm that that firm put in opera
tion the first steel foundry on the Pa
cific Coast, and, in fact, west of St.
Louis.
In 1906 Mr. Wood started the John
Wood Iron Works, which from a mod
est jobbing shop he raised, through
prudent and painstaking management,
to its present standing among the rep
resentative industrial establishments
of the city.
Mr. Wood is survived by five chil-
ren from his first wire, who died in
S95 Mrs. Dixon, of Oakland, Cal.; Mrs.
H. E. Nelson, of Umatilla. Or.; Mrs. C.
A. Schmeer. Mrs. E. H. V ise and Mrs.

ACT TO BE PUT TO VOTERS
Legislature Xot . to Be Asked to
Amend Bonding Measure.
At a conference Tuesday the City
Council abandoned the plan to submit
the State Legislature a number of
proposed amendments to the Bancroft
bonding act, proposed for the benefit
of property owners of the city. In
stead the act will be prepared in good
form and presented to the voters at
the June election.
It was decided by the Council that
the measure was submitted to the
Legislature, enactment by the voters
might be necessary subsequently, so
was deemed advisable to let the
voters puss upon the question first
hand. The amendments as proposed
are considered essential to the future
success of the system under which all
public improvements in the city are
andled. .

ard Grill, died suddenly yesterday
morning at his home at 307 East Thir
tieth street. After taking a hot bath
Mr. Phillips went back to bed and fell

awake. Dr. Thomas W. Kirby pro
nounced death due to enlargement of
the heart.

a native of Toronto. Canada. He was
in the employ of the Northern Pacific

AID FOR POLICE DISCUSSED
Appropriation or Levy Proposed to
Benefit III or Injured.
If plans outlined yesterday at a con
ference attended by City Attorney La
Roche, City Auditor Barbur, Mayor
Albee and Police Captain Moore, are
enacted finally into a city ordinance, an
ample relief and pension fund will be
inaugurated 'for the Police Bureau to
take the place of the present system.
The conference was held in Mayor
Albee's office. "
Two plans for the new system were
considered. The first Is similar to that
of the Fire Bureau, where firemen con
tribute 1 per cent of their salaries each
month and the city levies a special tax
of one-tenth of 1 mill. Every fireman
is subject to the system.
The other plan is to have the police
men contribute a percentage of their
salaries, and to appropriate from the
general fund each year a percentage
of the receipts from licenses. Police
Court fines and other revenues over
which the Police Bureau has jurisdic
tion. The Council, it is 6aid, could pass (
this system, while the voters probably
would be required to adopt the first
plan before It' could be made permanent.
HOTELS TO HAVE PETITIONS
Passage of Law to Serve Iiquor With
Meals Is Aim.
Petitions for the passage of the pro
posed law drafted by the Oregon State
Hotel Men's Association will bo placed
in the leading hotels of the city today
for signature. ' The proposed law would
permit the serving of liquors with
meals to guests of the hotels and will
in effect, it is said, confer the same
right on the traveling public that the
prohibitory law now gives to the stay-at-home
citizen who may buy liquor
for use at his own table.
"We do not want any Itinerants to
sign these petitions," said M. C. Dick
inson, president of the association,
yesterday. "We want only residents
and voters to sign their names.
