THE MORXIXG OREGOXIA3T.' WEDNESDAY, " APRrL 14, 1915. 20 FORESTER FOR PARK BUREAU IS ADVISED Mr. Brewster in Report on Public Affairs Department Advocates Changes. MORE FOUNTAINS ASKED Appointment of Deputy . In Legal Bureau to Do Nothing but Pre pare Ordinances Is Crged to Remedy Trouble. t.ii. f ik nnantlon of the Mu nlclpal Department of Public Affairs under City Commissioner Brewster durlns 1914, ara snown in jar. Dr-.-t.x. annual reoort sent yester- j.- r-it- Auditor Barbur. The report includes the -workings of the Park Bureau, the Local Bureau, tne ny Hall Bureau, the Bureau ol weigrnia and Measures and the Free Employ ment Bureau. The report of the Legal Bureau r hows that S7 formal written opinions and 1121 other official communications and a daily average of 16 oral opinions was the record for the year. These transactions were in addition to the A Miirt wnrk and work vui " - of preparing contracts and other legal documents. Because of the trouble experienced bv the Council with improperly drawn ordinances, Mr. Brewster recommends in his report that a deputy be appoint ed to do nothing else but prepare ordi nances. Deputies Declared Overworked. At . present." says Mr. Brewster, "this wort- is performed by the deputy who is least pressed by other work, and the result is that there is a wide variety in stylo of expression, and. worse still, many overlapping ordinances full of contradictions. The City Attorney re ports that the work of the office is more nearly up to date than formerly. This is true, but the deputies are over worked and should have relief." In the report of the Park Bureau Mr. Brewster recommends in addition to many park and playground improve ments a continuance of the system of planting shade trees along streets. He slso urges that a trained forester be employed to cira for the trees now planted and to be planted. "About three miles of trees were planted in 1914." reads the report. -With the exception of two or three persoi s this action seems to meet with the approval of the public When the Bureau plants the trees it takes care of them, and it is expected that this policy will be followed until the num ber of trees has been Increased large ly in neighborhoods otherwise entire ly destitute of planting and that the future will justify the small expense which is necessary for this limited work. No satisfactory plans as to this rubject have been settled upon because of the large expense which would be necessary if the city undertakes to control the planting, care and removal of all the street trees in the city. Keed e-f Forester Is Shown. "In other parts of the. United States municipalities spend as much as J50.000 in the care of their trees. While we may look forward to .such a condition, at present it seems wise to limit ourselves to the planting d care of trees in the newer locali ties, wa'ting for a more enlightetfed and generous public opinion to permit the expenditure of large sums of mon ey. It Is. however, most desirable that a trained forester be obtained to care for what wo have, and this compara tively small expense, I believe, the public would approve." Mr. Brewster advised in his report the establishment as soon as possible of more comfort stations in the busi less center and additional drinking fountains. That small resting places or park ing centers be established along Ter wllllger boulevard and that the ap proach at the end of Sixth street be Improved, also is advocated.
