TIIE 3IORXIXC OREGOXIA. FnTHAV. vnvnmn? 10 mi- 101 BUDGET DUE TODAY Public Hearing Expected to Be Lively. BIG ATTENDANCE PROBABLE Medical Inspection in Schools, Au ditorium Erection and Closing of One Fire Station Are Main Points at Issue. Tl.e public will have its inningf this afternoon' at 2 o'clock on the City Council's budget of proposed 1916 ex penditures. The Council will devote the afternoon to a public hearing of all budget questions citizens wish to bring up. The Commissioners are looking lor some lively tilts. Inasmuch as there are several important Questions in which there is a division of public opinion. Trouble is expected over the propo rtion of cutting out school medical in spection. The City and County Medi cal Society, a number of women's or ganizations, the citizens' advisory budget committee and others are in the lineup scheduled to oppose this move. 3t is contended the service is an abso lute necessity for the protection of school children from contagious dis ease. The inspection stands now elim inated from the city budget by vote of Commissioners Baker. Daly and Bige Jow aibinst Mayor Albee and Commis sioner Uieck. The balance of power in the proposition rests with any one of the three Commissioners who have voted against the inspection. The switching of the vote of one of the three will save the inspection. ' Commissioner Daly is said to be wa vering. He ha3 announced that he doubts the wisdom of discontinuing the service, and while he does not say he will switch his vote, it is thought there Js a chance of a change.' The proposition of discontinuing building of the proposed public audi torium will be another bone of conten tion. It is said a delegation of South l'ortland people will be on hand to fa vor going ahead with the construc tion, while others will protest against the structure. The Central Labor Council will be represented with a committee to urge construction. Still another fuss is expected over the plan to abolrsh the Are station at Sixteenth and Washington streets. Fire Chief Dowell and the board of fire chiefs and the underwriters declare tilere is need of a fire station in this vicinity. So far their recommendations have not been recognized by the Coun cil majority Baker, Bigelow and Daly li. P. Boardman. of the Equitable Rat ing Bureau, has declared before the Council that the change means an in crease in fire rates for that section of the city. It is expected that property owners of that vicinity will be on hand both to- oppose and favor the removal of the station. It is said there is a di vision of opinion as to the need of the station. The plan of the Council ma jority is to move the apparatus from this station to Fourteenth and Glisan streets. FALL FROM TRESTLE FATAL Man Dies From Injuries Received at Columbia Slough Accident. Charles Wilson, who fell from the first span of the Columbia Slough trestle, at the approach of a Vancouver train Wednesday, and was fatally in jured when he struck a log raft 25 feet below, died at the Good Samaritan Hospital yesterday morning. It could not be determined whether he fell from the trestle in trying to escape being hit by the train or was struck, as his body lay directly below the steps of the first car, and the motorman said that the car did not hit him. Wilson was 46 years old, and came from Seattle, but no relatives are known of. There probably will be no Inquest.

Black to the effect that he sustained injuries at the hands of policemen at the City Jail are being investigated by Mayor Albee.
