THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN. THURSDAY, JULY 8. 1913. 9 METER ISSUE IS IT Mr. Daly Asks Right to Make Installations Requested, but ' Mr. Baker Is Opposed. OTHERS RESERVE DECISION Heal Kttate Agent Before Council Demands Removal of Meters and A No Complains of Methods -Pursued by Water Bureau. V have with us once more the water meter issue. Under the cuidins hand of Commissioner Daly the Issue came back smilins; yesterday before the Council in the form of a request by Mr. Daly for authority to purchase 1700 or 2000 meters to install on services where requests for meters have been made. Apparently the issue recovered from the Knockout blow administered by the voters a month asjo yesterday and it may have some Councilmanic support in addition to that accorded, it by Mr. Daly. Mr. Daly wanted an expression of the Council as to the attitude of the mem bers on the subject, but he received only an expression from Commissioner Baker who came out flatfooted apalnst the purchase of meters in face of the recent thoroughly decisive vote of the people. Other members of theCouncil reserved their opinions until later even thousrh Mr. Daly urged them to Intimate their ideas at once. , Mr. Daly Thinks Matter Obligatory. Mr. Daly announced that he has sev eral hundred applications for water meters and he said he believes the city Is morally if not leg-ally obliged to supply these meters inasmuch as a meter rate is maintained. He declared that the Water Bureau is a public service corporation and could be forced to furnish meters. "I think the people expressed their opinion sufficiently clearly on the meter proposition." said Commissioner Baker. "I believe the people do not want them as was evidenced by the re rent election. Of this there can be no doubt. Therefore I can see no use in KoinR to he expense .of buying and in-t-tallinpr meters where they are to ajive no general service to the water system, It is an unnecessary investment and means that flat rate users will have to pay for the meters. It doesn't seem like pood business to add to the Water Bureau Investment without need." Mr. Baker Is OppoHfd. "There are hundreds of people ask ing for meters and I think the city Is moraly obliged to furnish them," said Mr. Daly. "My child might demand something I don't think it should have," retorted Mr. Baker. "The fact that a demand is made does not mean that I am obliged to grant the request." Charles Korell, who was one of the Council specttators at the session, gained the floor and demanded that the Council adopt also the policy of remov ing meters from premises where they are not wanted. "If it is right for the city to put in meters because they are requested." said he. "it is just as right .that they should be removed where re quested. "I have had a number of in teresting experiences with meters in houses for which I am agent. Since the first of the year when the policy of as sessing water rents to property owners Instead of tenants was adopted my cli ents have had many instances where tenants have taken delight In dunning up big water bills before moving. The other day I had to pay a bill of $4.90 on a five-room house where' a man and his wife and baby resided. Land Agent Haa Grievance. "Another thing in connection with these meters is that the Water Bureau refuses absolutely to furnish a bill at any time except on regular billing dates. Recently a tenant wax going to move from a house and I requested the Water Bureau to furnish me a water bill up to that date so that I might en deavor to collect from this tenant. The bureau refused to give me a bill until the regular billing date. I paid the bill as the tenant had left the city." Commissioner Daly insisted that members of the Council express their ideas on the meter subject but he got no satisfaction except in the case of Mr. Baker. The others reserved their opinions until later. Mr. Daly prob ably will bring the matter up again to morrow. PAVING BIDS ARE OPENED Prices Made on Upper Drive, Rodney Avenue and San Rafael Street.

TOWNS JOIN OFFICIALLY PART V OK I'ORTI.A II OFFICIALS TO MAKE I..PKCTIO. TODAY. Mercian ef St. Johns an) l.lnaten Be Completes! Licenses Are Granted to Saloons. The City Council and the heads of the principal bureaus of Portland's government will go to Llanton and St. Johns this morning to take over those two towns officially, which became a part of Portland at midnight last niitht. The party will start from the City Hall at a o'clock and the officials expect to pass several hours coins over the various parts of the public services of the two towns. The party will be accompanied by fire and police officials, water bureau officials and officials of the health bu reau, highways and bridges bureau, the Auditor's office, the dock commission, the Treasurer's office, the engineering bureau, the building bureau, the park bureau and the legal bureau. Kach member of the party will look into the conditions concerning his line of mu nicipal activity. The 'purpose is to determine exactly what is necessary to keep the two towns in full operation without their separate governments. The questions to be decided include the enforcement of Portland's laws In the two towns, the transfer of all the municipal busi ness transactions of the two towns to the City Hall in Portland, the taking over of the lire and police departments and merging them with Portland's lire and police bureaus and the taking over of all the docks and public property and records. It is probable that the arrival of the party will be the occasion for a cele bration in each of the towns or dis tricts as they now are. The Council yesterday passed an emergency ordinance providing for the making of an Inventory of all the property and the auditing of- all the books and records of the towns to see that they are correct and that all money is accounted for and that all present street and sewer proceedings are regular and in proper shape for the transfer of Jurisdiction to Portland.

( Special.) work is to be started immediately by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Company In the entire rebuilding of its plant in this city, on the north side of the river, estimates for the contem plated work, which is to cost $5590, naving necn arprovea. The work is to be finished by August 1. The plans call for the elimination of all crossarms on telephone poles in the district affected. It is expected that the new plant will eliminate 90 per cent of "wire trouble' experienced on the North Side in tne HEW RAIL RATE OH STEEL PROTESTED Discrimination Is Charged by Transportation Bureau of Chamber of Commerce. SPOKANE WOULD BENEFIT Other Goods Also Included In Tar iff Revision Regarded as Wede to Cnt Off Portland's Advan tage Gained by Canal. Protests were filed yesterday by the transportation bureau of tha Chamber of Commerce against the proposed new distributive rates on structural iron and steel, wnlch are to go Into effect, under tariffs recently filed by the car riers, on July 15. The new rates show sharp advances over existing rates, and, according to the Chamber's pica, would seriously cripple the business of the big iron and steel fabricators in Portland. The present rates on this commodity from Portland to Kastern Oregon. Kastern Washington and Idaho vary from 3S cents to 40 cents for 100 pounds. The proposed rates are from 40 to 45 cents, an average advance of 16 2-3 per cent. Complaints were filed with both the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Oregon Public Utilities Commission, and an order is asked for poi- pontng the application of the rates pending a bearing on the merits of the complaint. The Chamber of Commerce not only holds the rates unreasonable per se, but- declares that they will work a serious disadvantage to the fabricators operating in Portland, and be generally prejudicial to the best interests of the entire city. Discrimination In Allraed. The alleged disadvantage to Portland is made all the more pronounced, it is asserted, when the proposed rates are considered In connection with the new rates on the same commodities from the East to the principal points in the Northwest, which rates also are to be come effective on July 15. The carriers have attempted a com plete readjustment of their transcon tinental and distributive rates to meet the effects of the Panama Canal com petition. The commercial Interests of Portland contend that these rates are made for the purpose of eliminating Portland and the other Pacific Coast terminals as distributing centers entirely. In other words, they assert, the railroads are seeking to make the rates to Spo kane so low and distributive rates out of Portland so high that Spokane will supersede Portland and Seattle as distributing center. While the proposed new rates apply on a limited number of commodities only, it is pointed out that with this leverage the carriers sooner or later will be able to apply the same rate principle to all other commodities. Other Rates bnnged. In addition to structural iron and steel, some of the other important commodities covered by the new sched ule are canned goods, green coffee, dry goods. linoleum, nails. wire, wrought and casttron pipe, aivd heavy hardware of various kinds. The Chamber's protest is aimed at the structural iron and steel rate be cause the alleged discrimination Is the most glaring In this particular, inasmuch as the distributive rates are the more sharply advanced, although the transcontinental rates are reduced. However, the reduction to Spokane is more pronounced than the reduction to Portland. For instance, the proposed rates on structural iron and steel from the Pittsburg district to Spokane on a minimum of 40,000 pounds Is 11.05; on a minimum of 50.000 and SO. 000 It is I. The rates- from Chicago territory to Spokane are 95 rents on a min imum of 40.000 pounds, 90 cnt on a minimum of 50,000 pounds, and 85 cents on a minimum of 0.000 pounds. The present rate to Spokane from Pittsburg is 11.01 on all carload ship ments, and from Chicago It Is 97 cents. TTsroaah Rail Shipments fmnll. Portland, under the proposed sched ule, is to have a rate of so cents from Pittsburg on a 40. coo-pound minimum. and 75 cents on, the higher minimums; the rate from Chicago to Portland Is to be 80 cents. C6 cents and 55 cents, respectively, for each of the three minimums. The present rate to Portland is. 80 cents from Chicago and Pittsburg alike in minimum lots or 40.000 pounds. i-oriiana, nowever, moves little iron and steel at those rates. It ships inrougn tne canal at rates a little lower than the rail rate, and up to mis time nas enjoyed a distributive rate to the Interior that ha- permitted her manufacturers to ship fabricated Iron and steel as far east as Idaho and Montana, and as far north as Vancouver. B. C The new set of rates, it Is feared here, will give Spokane a decided ad vantage over Portland and deprive i nruann oi a large portion of this business, with the result that the car riers would be permitted to handle over their own rails to Spokane the traffic that now goes to Portland by water.

The cargo of arms and ammuni tion aboard the schooner Annie Larsen. which has been held at Hoqulam since June 29 by Federal authorities, will not be discharged at present, according to orders received today by Deputy Col lector of Customs Sebastian. The Government requires that the owners of the ship pay the cost of such unoadlng. As yet Olsen. and Mahony. ownera of the Ltnen, have refused to pay these costs and the cargo will be held aboard ship until the company Is willing to pay these costs or the arms are disposed of. The cargo probably will have to be condemned in a Federal Court before any attempt to diapose of it Is made. Following Its condemnation. It probably will be eold at public auction. The ship cannot be moved until the cargo is discharged. All arrangements for the discharging of the cargo In Aberdeen and the stor ing it In a vacant building near-the business district had been made by Mr. Sebastian when he received orders not to unload. These orders were from F. C. Harper. Collector of Customs at Se attle. While it la said that no efforts are being made to capture I'age, the super cargo, speculation is rife as to his whereabouts. The general opinion Is .hat he Is in hiding about lirtyi Harbor. FOUR-CENT RATE UPHELD Orej-on Sltort Line SuMainrd by Idaho Vtllltlt'H Commission. BOISE. Idaho. July 7. 'Special.) The Public L'tlllly Commission of this state cannot find the contention of the Attorney-Jeneral that the rates charged by the Oregon Short Line on 14 of Its branch and subsidiary lines feeding into all parts of Southern Idaho are unfair and discriminatory in charging 4 rents a mile for passenger service. The complaint is therefore dismissed In an order handed down to day. The commission found that tha Ore gon Short Line's contention that Its branch lines were not paying, even when cliarglng 4 cents mtlesge, was substantiated by the evidence taken at the hearing. The Attorney-General contended patrons of the branch lines were being dlscrlna'nated against tn that they had to pay 4 centa passenger mileage while main-line patrons paid but 3 cents a mlie.
