Barbur, who were re-elected, will com
plete their first two-year terms under
Commission government on July 1 and
will start on that date to serve their
four-year terms to which both were
tlected.
The measures annexing- Linnton and
St. Johns to Portland will go into ef
fect in 30 days from June 7, in accord
ance with the provisions of the state
law. The Bancroft bonding act amend
ment will 'go into effect July 1. that
date being designated in the measure.
Mrunra Effective at Once.
All other measures passed will be
come effective as soon as outcome of
the election is determined officially by
the official count, to be made by the
Auditor.
v The measures adopted will make a
number of important changes in the
handling of municipal affairs. Many of
these measures have merely to do with
administrative features of the city
service. Others involve Important pol
icies. The Bancroft bonding act amendment
will not affect the bonded assessments
outstanding at present, but only those
Issued in the future. The street and
sewer assessments outstanding now
will not be changed in any way by the
measure. Interest and Installments will
be payable annually as at present. As
sessments made after July 1 will be
affected, however, by the installments,
Interest being payable semi-annually
Instead of annually. This measure will
eliminate the necessity of the city ad
vancing large amounts of interest from
the general fund to meet Interest on
street and sewer bonds, the city hav
ing to pay the interest semi-annually
at present and the property owners
nly paying annually.
JItaey Itearnlattosi la Ieax.
The measure regulating Jitneys be
comes effective at once. To make the
act workable Commissioner Daly, of the
Department of Public Utilities, pro
pose to have the City Council pass an
ordinance designating a date when the
measure shall take effect. He saya It
would be Impossible to apply the meas
ure without having time to prepare for
tta operation.
The measure providing for relief for
C D. Shane and W. H. Whltcomb, dis
abled firemen, will take effect with the
casting of the official vote. Also the
measure providing for the reappoint
ment of civil service employes on the
basis of seniority will become effective
at that time. Its Importance will be
felt at this time because the season's
work is opening up and workmen are
being engaged. Under the old system
many of the city's oldest employes
would have been left out by the newer
men being appointed.
It is probable that the City Council
and the officers of the Oregon Humane
Society will hold a meeting together
within a short time to begin negotia
tions for the taking over by the Hu
mane Society of the municipal dog
pound. In the negotiations the Council
will decide on the terms of operation.
The Council is not required to turn over
the pound, but is authorized to do so if
it sees lit.
Crosslna- KliMlnmif ta Provided
The measure pertaining to grade
crossing eliminations will be used to
good advantage in the handling of the
big project of eliminating eight grade
crossings along the line of the O.-W. R.
& N. between the head of Sullivan's
Gulch and the city limits. The measure
enables the city to handle all these as
one project instead of separately, as
would have been necessary under the
old law.
It is probable that the Dock Commis
sion will take up at once the erection
of fire stpps on the waterfront. The
measure as passed provided for the
making of such structures as are neces
sary to stop fires, the cost to be met
by assessment made in a district
benefited by the stops.
