BIDS TO BE TAKEN MAY 12 Last Difficulty .in "Way of Sale and Approval of Notes Itemoved, Say County Officials Plan for riant Is Rejected. A friendly suit will not be necessary to establish the legality of Multnomah County's $1,250,000 road bond issue. The legal difficulty which has stood in the way of full recognition of the validity of the bonds was swept away yesterday when District Attorney Evans received the following telegram from Storey. Thorndike, Ptilmer & Dodge, the Boston attorneys who had brought up the point that proof of the proper posting- of spe cial election notices was lacking:: "Telegram received. We waive re quirements regarding; proof of election nctlce." In a letter to Mr. Evans early In the week these attorneys, whose favorable opinion is guaranteed to bidders for the ronds, had declared it would be neces sary to obtain Affidavits from election of Ho! a Is that the notices were properly posted. This would have Involved get ting 2843 affidavits, an obvious impos fclblllty. A friendly suit to test the validity of the bonds would have been the only alternative. Coorfi Order Clears Difficulty. Arthur A. Murphy, Deputy District Attorney, however, in a telegram sent Wednesday night, called the attention of the Boston attorneys to a. section ot the road act which makes a formal declaration of the result of a bond elec tion by the County Court proof of the regularity of the election. He also cited court decisions. . "The answer of Storey, Thorndike, Palmer & Dodge shows they accept our view and clears up the situation," said District Attorney Evans last nigrht. "The only remaining- objections to the bonds are mere formalities which can be settled in a few days." Bids for the bonds will be received May 12. The plan for the county to do its own paving- was definitely turned down by the County Commissioners yesterday when R. S. Dulin and R. G. McMullen. of the City Engineer's office, who has submitted the proposal, were notified that they could bid with other contrac tors if they desired. Engineers' Proposal Refused. Messrs. Dulin and McMullen submit; ed exhaustive figures on the paving; ques tion yesterday morning-. They showed just what it wo,uld cost the county to lay Its own pavement according; to the specifications for every type as adopted by the city. They asserted In their pre vious proposal to the Commissioners that all the paving could be laid n.t an approximate cost of 60 cents a square yard if the county would spend about 150,000 to build a paving plant. They asked that. If their proposal was ac cepted, they be employed as engineers at $-00 a month each. The Commissioners directed that Mr. Dulin and Mr. McMullen be notified that the county did not care to take up their plan, but that they could bid with con tractors If they wished to do so. "I don't think it advisable to experi ment in a new business with the coun ty's money." was the explanation of Commissioner Holman. BONDS TO BE REQUIRED FIGURES SHOW WATER REVENUE WILL JVOT BUY METERS. Bureau's Statistic Prove That to Fol low Mr. Daly's Plan. Project Would Take 215 Tears. Issuance and sale of not less than $500,000 In 25-year 4 per cent water bonds is the only way City Commis sioner Daly will be able to install water meters on all services in the city under the city-wide meter plan which will be voted on at the city election June 7. Recent water rate reductions have reduced the city's total water revenue so that for the present year and subsequent years, according to the water bureau's -figures, the annual sur plus of funds from revenue will be about $37,000. Meters for the 3000 new water services each year would cost $34,000, leaving only $3000 available for installing meters on 43.000 unmetered services. This would buy 200 meters, and in 215 years the entire 43,000 would be installed. Commissioner Daly, however, avers that It is his intention to install the meters from current revenue. The total amount of Interest paid by water users or outstanding bonds at present is $315,760 a year. In addition a total of $140,880 is placed each year in a sinking fund to redeem these Donas, making their total cost $456,640 annually. Operation of the water bureau in 1914 cost $255,560, which increases to $712. 190 the total cost of operation and maintenance of the bureau. The total revenue for the present year will be $750,000. according to the water bureau estimates, leaving a surplus from reve- sue of $37,810, Today in Our 58th Anniversary Sales!

AVood Blocks Discussed and Cost Skews to Be Heavy Flans for Los Angeles Meeting Made. After hearing tho report .of J. W. Hammond, chairman of the "wood block" committee, the Portland Realty Board . yesterday decided not to make any recommendaflon as to what char acter of pavement should be used in hard surfacing the 70 miles of county road ordered at the recent bond elec tion. "In the East wood block pavement has proved much more successful than on the Pacific Coast," said Mr. Ham mond. "This is due, no doubt, to the fact that Eastern cities have utilized their best quality of lumber and have been more liberal in the employment of the supplementary material, creosote. I believe the Board should indorse the wood block pavement as used in the East." Mr. Hammond reported that the wood block pavement costs at least twice as much as the hard-suriace materials. The motion that no recommendation be made was put by Henry W. Fries. The Board re-elected Dean Vincent, ex-president of the Realty Board and candidate for the presidency of the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges, as Its representative on the executive committee at the annual convention of the association at Los Angeles. President Taylor yesterday appointed Herbert Gordon. W. M. Umbdenstock and Frank McCrillis to arrange for a car to carry Portland "real e staters" to the Los Angeles convention. In addi. tion to the members of the committee the following announced their intention yesterday of going to Los Angeles: President' Taylor and Secretary Cowglll, who have been elected delegates, Florian Fuchs, F. N. Clark, C. V. Everett. W. A. Firebaugh. Henry W. Fries, Dean, Vincent and J. D. Lee. Added City Veterinarian Asked. That the testing of dairy cattle for tuberculosis can be kept up to date, City Health Officer Marcellus yester day asked the City Council to authorize the employment of an additional veteri narian for about three months. The requests for tests are so numerous that it has been Impossible for Hhe present force of veterinarians to keep up with the work.
