18 TIIE 3IORNIXG OKEGONIAN. FRIDAY. JUNE 18, 1915. MR. DALY TO KEEP HE WORK NOW HAS Commissioner-Elect Baker to Succeed to Departments Mr. Brewster Relinquishes. MAYOR ANNOUNCES POLICY Head of Water Bureau Reported to Have Promised Co-operation With Other Members or Council as Price for Holding Place. Following completion yesterday by City Auditor Barbur of the official count of votes cast in the recent elec tion, showing that George L. Baker and C. A. Bigelow were elected Com missioners. Mayor Albee made the an nouncement that there will be no change in the departments other than the replacing Commissioner Brewster by Commissioner-elect Baker. Mr. Baker will be placed at the head of the Department of Public Affairs, which takes in the Park Bureau, the Lgal Bureau, the Free Employment Bureau and the Public Auditorium and the City Hall Bureau. Mr. Baker will take up the work of this department on July 1 where Mr. Brewster leaves off on the last day of June. Commis sioner Brewster said yesterday that when his term expires he will take a week off to rest at home, after which he will go into the practice of law. He has made no definite arrangements for his law office as yet. Peace Ram.r Heard. The fact that all department heads are to remain as they are, with the single change of the Public Affairs Department, is attributed largely, it is said, to a treaty of peace between Mayor Albee and Commissioner Daly. 'It was thought at first that the Mayor would take the Water Bureau from Commissioner Daly, owing to the fact that the Mayor was not entirely satis fied with the administration of that bureau. It is said the troubles were patched up by Mr. Daly agreeing to work closer to the City Council with his administra tive affairs than he has in the past. It is said he will submit all matters to the Council before putting them into operation, instead of going ahead large ly upon his own Initiative with mat-, ters of importance in the operation of the Water 'Bureau. The Mayor yesterday complimented Commissioner-elect Baker upon the ex cellent vote he received. "It is a dis tinct honor to be the first Commis sioner to be elected on first choice votes under our preferential system." said the Mayor. "I am confident that Mr. Baker is groins to make a splendid Commissioner." Assignments to Be Made July J. The assignment of the Commissioners to their respective departments will be put through officially on July 1 in com pliance with the provisions of the city charter. The Mayor said yesterday, how ever, that he has his mind fully made up and intends no changes from the ar rangement he has announced. With Commissioner-elect Baker in charge of the Department of Public Affairs there is a question as to what his policy will be toward J. O. Convill, park superintendent. There is no ques tion but that all the other bureau heads in the department will remain. This includes City Attorney LaRoche. It is said to be quite likely also that Mr. Convill will remain. It is thought Commissioner HigeloSv has abandoned his plan to seek the dismissal of City Treasurer Adams, who was Mr. Bigelow's nearest opponent in the election. At first, it is said, Mr. Kigelow was strong for the immediate dismissal of Mr. Adams, but it is said he has abandoned the plan because of his inability to get a sufficient num ber -of members of the City Council to back him up. CODE REVISION IS OPPOSED Permission for Mill-Construction Buildings Xow Held XTnfair. Proposals of the city building code revision committee to amend the build ing ordinances to that mill-construction buildings of one and two stories height can be erected within the restricted zone of the city will be aired before the City Council next Wednesday. On that day the ordinance providing the changes will be up for final passage. C. Lewis Meade, representing a num ber of owners of fireproof buildings, appeared before the Council Wednesday and urged against permitting the change. He said it would not be just to those who have built fireproof struc tures to take down the bars now and permit the construction of buildings with brick or concrete walls and frame interior construction. He said that in addition to increasing the fire insur ance rate on the- large buildings the change would place the expensive fire proof structures in competition witn the cheaper structures of non-fireproof construction. SCHOOL VOTING PASSED ON Hcsristration 'ot Held Necessity ir Property Is Owned. Following the rccejpt of many inquir ies as to the qualifications of voters at the school election next Saturday, from 12 to 8, R. H. Thomas, school clerk, has obtained an opinion from the legal firm of Nicholas & McCoy, attorneys for the School Board, as to the requirement in the new law that all voters must be enrolled on the registration books in order to be eligible to cast ballots. It is held that If the judges at the various polling places are satisfied as to other qualifications, such as own ing property, etc., one may properly be allowed to vote, even though his name does not appear on the registration books. MARY C. BARTLETT DEAD Head of Private School for Children Passes Suddenly. PORTLAND, Or., June 17. (To the Kditor.) Eight years ag-o Miss Mary C. Bartlett arrived in Portland with her sister. Miss Gussle Bartlett, to make this their home, after lifelong residence in New York City, which was also their birthplace. In that time they have endeared themselves to a remark ably large circle of friends, who were greatly grieved to learn of the sudden death of Miss Mary C. Bartlett June 13 at her home at 680 Flanders street. About two months ago she suffered a fall, which somewhat disabled her, and about a week before her death her wrist was broken in another fall and these accidents were a shock to the al ready weakened heart, which refused to rally, and she slipped away most peacefully last Sunday morning. Since coming to Portland Miss Bart lett has .conducted a small private school for children. Which has been highly appreciated by the parents, and the little ones learned to love her fond ly. In New York she had given their entire education to children of several prominent families, and there as well as here her work was characterized by the utmost thoroughness. This has borne and will continue to bear fruit age in the lives of those who have been fortunate enough to come under the . influence of her training. into which she Introduced strong moral and religious elements. Miss Bartlett early developed a tal ent for music and received a fine mu sical education. Her success in teach ing that art was marked, as also in French, in which she specialized, for she was noted for her perfect accent, although acquired in America. She was a member of the Oratorio Society of New York under the leadership of the elder Damrosch and his son, Wal ter. 'As a protege of J. G. Holland she essayed poetry and other writing and composed a number of fugitive verses, some of which were published. She was a devoted church woman and at once identified herself with Trinity parish and Its activities. The home of these sisters has been the center of unstinted hospitality, and not only have their friends tasted its joys, but many a discouraged or homeless person has been warmed and fed in its comforting Christian atmosphere.
