NEW FIRE MAINS IS PLAN
BOATS TO SUPPLY PRESSURE FOR
PROPOSED AUXILIARY SYSTEM.
sale of Bonds Authorised at Election
Several Years Ago Will Provide
S1SO,000 Needed.
Pl.-ins are to be marie at once for a
system of high-pressure reinforcing
fire mains In Portland s main business
district on the West Side and the East
Side. At a meeting of the City Coun
cil yesterday, the proposal involving
an-expenditure or aoout $iou.vou was
ade by Commissioner .Daly. me
money will bo raised by the sale of an
issue of long-term bonds autnorizeu oy
the voters several years ago for this
and to purchase a new fireboat
The proposed 6ystem would operate
as a reinforcement to the regular serv
ice mains fed by the reservoirs. I ne
mains would be supplied with river
water pumped during fires by the fire
boats. It is said the present fire pro
tection in the business district can be
more than doubled by the high pressure
svstem proposed and emergency water
supplied.
A conference will be held with Fire
Chief Dowell and other fire officials
within a few days, after which Water
Engineer Clarke will be asked to pre
pare the plans,. Which have been
worked out tentatively.
The Fire Bureau reports work on
manv fires hampered by low pressure.
due to the heavy drain on mains while
a fire Is being fought. Cisterns have
been constructed in some streets In
the business district to augment the
regular supply.

Supreme Court Value of $2.50 an
Acre Ignored In Lane County.
EUGENE, Or, April 16. (Special.)
The Oregon & California lands In Lane
County have been placed upon the as
sessment rolls at valuations of from $5
to $20, the total appraisement amount
ing to $3,350,000, by B. F. Keeney,
County Assessor, disregarding the re
cent ruling of the Supreme Court of
the United States, which held that the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company's
Interest in this land amounted to $2.50
per acre.
"Whether we have a right to assess
these lands only for the amount of the
railroad's equity of $2.B0 per acre, or
whether we have a right to assess It at
all. is a matter for the Board of Equali
zation to determine," he said. "This
land is assessed at virtually the same
figure as last year."
