Mr. Daly's Project Calls for
Initial Expenditure of $1,
777,000 From Bonds.
VOTE ON JUNE 4 DESIRED
Author's Claim Is That Needed Ex
tension of Service Can Be Pro
vided for Portland Without
Any Increase In Cost.
JLn issue of $1,777,000 in 22-year 5
.per cent serial bonds, an annual outlay
of $327,682 in interest, maintenance
and operation, and other expenditures
from the city -water funds, , are to be
the financial considerations of the
proposed municipal street lighting:
plant on which Portland will vote at
the city election June 4.
City Commissioner Daly yesterday
filed with City Auditor Barbur his
final report on a survey made of the
hydro-electric power development pos
sibilities in the Bull Run water re
serve. Filing- of the report is the
opening gun in a campaign to be con
ducted until election day in behalf of
the project.
The plan as outlined in the report is
to construct from water revenue a
dam at Bull Hun lake to Increase the
amount of water in the lake during
the low water periods of the Summer.
From the $1,777,000 power plant bom i
Issue an intake would be construe te
to a flume 13 l miles above the Bu
j-vu n oeauwuruB H.nu. a. xiume -l o.i raite n
in length on the north side of th
river to a reservoir near the Bull RuJ I
beadworks.
Two Penstocks Proposed.
From this reservoir the water; would
K"0 in two penstocks to a power house
on the river near the headwords from
which the electricity would be trans
mitted to Portland a distance of 30
miles. The water after passing through
the electric plant flumes, reservoirs
and machines would go on down -the
river to the pipelines supplying Port
land with water.
Following are Mr. Daly's estimates
f cost: Diversion, $27,500; flume,
$286,000 right-of-way, $1320; forebay
and reservoir, $55,000; penstocks. $82,
600; wagon road, $22,000; power house,
$49,500; machinery, wiring, etc., $170,
E00; transr: Ission, $82,500; distribution
.system, including transformer, station,
$1,000,000. Total, $1,776,820.
The annual expenses of the plant
are enumerated in the report as fol
lows: Operation, $100,000; mainte
nance, $50,000; interest on investment
et 6 per cent, $88,841; sinking fund
payment to redeem bonds, $88,841;
total, $327,862.
Public Salea Contemplated
The annual operation and mainte
nance figures have been worked out
bo that the Water Bureau will take
care of sorr.e of the expense. The plan
e-s outlined In the report is for the
development of 6380 horsepower. It
is proposed to provide 2500 horsepower
for municipal lighting and to sell the
remainder. It is estimated that the
ale, at the rate charged by the mu
nicipal plant in Seattle, would net
$186,746, provided 30 per cent of the
available power could be sold.
It is said in the report that the plant
would enable the lighting of double
the number of arc lights now in the
city, furnish light for all public build
ings and leave enough electricity to
net $186,746 when sold for residence
r domestic consumption. At this rate
there would be realized from general
taxation a total of $200,000 a year and
from sale of electricity $186,746, a total
Of $386,746 at a cost of $327,682.
Cost Now $200,000 Yearly.
Th city under contract with the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com
pany has 3553 arc lights on streets
entailing an annual cost of $183,024
and incandescent lighting for buildings
and other public purposes costing $15,
000 a year with material reductions for
arc lights that are out when they
should be burning. While more than
1000 applications for additional arc
lights are on file from all over the
city, no new lights have been installed
for about three years. Inquiries on
the subject have met with the an
nouncement from Mr. Daly's office that
the only way to get additional lights
is to vote for the lighting plant.
Mr. Daly's report in full follows:
Street XJghtlng- Biff Item.
In submitting this report, embracing: lnftfr
tnation and estimates gathered as to costs of
construction and revenues from a municipal
hydro-electric plant. It is quite proper to
relate at length the conditions governing
thft present service.
Street lighting in the City of Portland la
one of our big problems. "With & population
of about 300,000 and a city covering an. area
of about 66 square miles, it wilt be seen by
the most casual observer that the residence
districts are widely scattered, thereby re
quiring more lighting per thousand of popu
lation than in most other cities of equal size
The City of Portland is now using 3553
arc lamp 3390 aerial and 157 In the under
ground district, which, at present contract
rates will entail an annual cost of $183,024
and Incandescent lighting for buildings and
other public purposes amounting to $15,000.
Unless some eliminations are made during
the present fiscal year, the city will expend
a total for the above purpose. In round fig
ures, of $200,000.
There are many difficulties encountered
tn the present scheme of buying public light
ing under contract. Under the present agree
ment with the Portland Railway. Light A
Power Company the city attemps, through
the specifications and conditions of its con
tract, to require a certain lighting efficiency
per lamp to De determined at the arc. It Is
attempted to provide for outages from a cer
tain reoate per lamp or 50 cents tter nieht.
which in itself amounts to a penalty. To se
cure me einciency ot illumination contem
plated in the contract and specifications
would require the employment of a corps
Mn. eiwincai npeciaiiBiB, wnicn would greatly
'Increase the cost to the city above present
contract rates. The method of securing
reports of outages and resulting rebates is
na.ura.uy aoortive.
Outage Check Difficult.
The city is dependent upon its police or
ganization to report lamps out. In the wide
area comprising tne resiaence district in
which the patrolmen have many miles of
beat to cover. It is a physical impossibility
iur mem iu rwpors. more man a very small
percentage of the outages. The result has
been and will continue to be. under & con
tract system, that on the whole the Illu
minating efficiency will be greatly under
xnat requirea Dy tne specifications and con
tract and the loss by outages will, from the
Tery nature of the system, be much arreattr
than shown by the actual reports. To secure
anything like a correct check on outages
would require a very expensive system of
Inspection.
These two considerations as herein set
out. if the city were to attempt to enforce
the letter of the contract and to check out
ages by inspection, would increase the cost
of street lighting probably $15,000 a year.
There is another phase to the lighting
situation in this city that should not be lost
alght of by the Council.
In past years, actuated by civic pride, the
merchants and property owners in a portion
of our business districts have voluntarily
contracted for and installed and maintained
mall sections of post lighting on certain
streets. This Is a contribution by business
men and property owners which has now
undoubtedly become a burden, and a most
unjust and unfair burden on these citizens.
The business district being the point to
which all traffic converges, tt is used by
all of the citizenship. The period when this
district is lighted is at a time when the
hops are closed and no business is trans
acted, T,hoxsXoxa u may well be said t&at
the citizens, rather than the business men,
secure the full advantage of this lighting.
Many cities are adopting plans for light
ing their business districts. In which a uni
form and efficient system of post lighting
is designed. In some cities the merchants
and property owners within the business dis
trict are contributing the cost of construc
tion of the post lighting sysem. which is
therefore maintained from the lighting fund.
Oher cities have done even better, and, on
the ground that It Is a public responsibility
and expense, the municipality has financed
both the construction and maintenance of
such systems.
Uniformity Held' Desirable.
The maintenance of post lighting of this
character In past years has proved such a
burden to business men and property-owners
that where a few years ago we had long,
continuous lines of post lighting on certain
streets, from time to time certain prop
erties have tired of the expense and aban
doned the maintenance, with the result that
our business streets present a very ragged
and depressing spectacle. An unlighted post
lamp Greatest a most depressing effect upon
all of the property adjacent. It gives you
the feeling that something is lacking, some
thing has been moved out, or that some
where there is a lack of enterprise and
public spirit. Where post lighting is main
tained It should be continuous. The effect of
a long, continuous line of post lighting on
any certain street Is refreshing and inspir
ing to the pedestrian. The effect of a broken
line of post lighting impresses you that there
Is a delapidation in that community akin to
a condition of many vacant buildings and
shops. If the city is to continue to permit
post lighting it certainly should be main
tained at the city's expense In order that
uniformity of service may be secured.
In considering the lighting situation and
the necessity for Increased installations I
have felt that with an annual expenditure
of approximately $200,000 fe have about
reached the maximum taxation for lighting
purposes and It would seem tha good busi
ness would demand that an effort be made
to secure a greater lighting at no greater
expense to the city. Having this In mind,
the engineers of the Bureau of Water Works
have blended their efforts In gathering data
from explorations and surveys in Bull Run
Canyon to the end that the development of
the city's water supply shall also con
template producing such power ma may be
available as a by-product.
Power Possibility Estimated.
Through a small experimental dam con
structed two years ago at Bull Run Lake it
has been determined that a larger dam at
the lake outlet will Increase the low water
flow of Bull Run River during the dry
weather period to 108 cubic feet per second
at the point of diversion of the power proj
ect. This will bring the minimum flow of
the river proper up to probably 124 second
feet, thus increasing the available water
supply sufficiently to provide for a popula
tion of 450.000 or more.
The construction of the above con
templated dam should properly be charged
against the Bureau of Water Works tor in
creasing the available water supply.
It Is noted that the present lighting sys
tem in use by this city requires approx
imately J -'OO kilowatts. The number or
lights now In use number 3553. with ap
proximately 1000 more lights petitioned for.
the greater portion of which should be in
stalled, and to which should be added a
post lighting system for the business dis
tricts! On the basis of the foregoing of present
and prospective lighting, it is estimated that
a plant having a capacity of 3750 kilowatts
snould be installed. To thia end three dir
ferent locations were investigated for the
purpose of determining the one most suit
able for the purpose in view.
Three Sites Investigated.
Project No 2, located on the south side
of the main Bull Run River, and project No.
3. on the Sandy River, wilt be eliminated
from this discussion, as project No. 1, with
which this report will have to do. Is shown
to be the most economical in development
ana operation.
The following tabulation In relation to
this project will be of interest:
Area of watershed (sou are miles) S3

This project contemDlates diver-tin r
water from the Bull Run River at a point
approximately 13 hi miles by river above
the beadworks and at an elevation of 1 550
feet. This water will be carried by flume
a distance of 13.2 miles on the north side
of the river to an operating reservoir lo
cated In the south half of section IS, town
ship 1 south, range 6 east. From the
operating reservoir the water would be
carried in two penstocks to the power
house on the Bull Run River. The eleva
tion of the water surface In the operating
reservoir will be 1480 feet, and with the
high water surface In the Bull Run River
814 a difference of elevation between the
two points of 66A feet. The power devel
oped at this point will be transmitted to
Portland, a distance of 80 miles.
The City of Portland controls all water
rights on Bull Run River above the head
works. Ordinance No. 18,000 of the City
of Portland gives to the city any rights
the Mount Hood Railway A Power Company
may have acquired to these waters In re
turn for certain water rights below the
head works, transferred by the city to the
Mount Hood Power Company, and also In
return for permission granted the power
company by the city to cross certain prop
erty of the city of Portland with flumes and
pipes, the only condition of this agree
ment being to the effect that the city of
Portland shall not sell water outside of the
city limits for other than domestic uses.
Watershed Is Analyzed.
The watershed above the proposed di
version and flume Is made up ot the fol
lowing streams:
Area.
Sq Ml.
Log Creek. Blazed Alder Creek and
Lake Branch, Bull Run 88
Falls Creek ... 7
North Fork 9
Cougar Creek 4 H
Total water area , B3
With the storage In Bull Run Lake as above
outlined, a minimum continuous flow ot
108 cubic feet per second can be secured,
which will generate 6380 horsepower for a
24-hour day, assuming 80 per cent effi
ciency In the wheels, and allowing 95 per
cent efficiency In the generator. 96 per
cent efficiency In the step-up and step-
down transformers, and a 10 per cent loss
In transmission, this 6380 horsepower at
the wheels will deliver 3750 kilowatts In
the city of Portland for 24 hours per day
at a commercial voltage.
At the proposed location of the diversion
the Bull Run River runs over a basaltic
formation and rocky bluffs rise at each
side. A low timber-crib rock-fill dam.
the material for which can be taken from
the adjacent forest, will serve every pur
pose. A concrete Intake 20 feet wide with
racks and sluice gates will divert the water
from the north side of the dam and connect
with the flume. The dam will have an
overflow of 125 feet long with a crest
elevation of 1557.50 feet. The overflow
will be of ample capacity to handle the
heavy floods of winter.
From the diversion the water will be
carried In a flume having a grade of 1 foot
per 1000 feet; the flume to be 6 feet In
width and boarded four feet on the sides.
It Is proposed to cap the bents of the flume
with stringers beginning at the reservoir
end and a light narrow-gauge track will
be laid thereon. This track will be used
to transport the lumber and material for
the superstructure and will save the cost of
building a wagon road along the flume line.
As the superstructure is laid the track
can be relaid on the top of the tie beam,
giving a good line for patrol and mainte
nance service between the reservoir and
the diversion. The lumber for the flume
will be cut from the timber on lands be
longing to the city of Portland, the city's
sawmill to be located within 200 yards of
tne reservoir site.
Most of Right of Way Public.
The right of way for the flume along the
greater portion ot its length will be nn
Government land. The total acreage for
right of way on privately-owned land will
not exceed 81 acres for a 100-foot right of
way.
The flume will discharge Into a concrete
forebay In the reservoir, the forebay to be
equipped with racks and controlling gates
and with standpipe connections to the pen-
stocKs xor air release. xne reservoir will
be made partially in cut and partially in
fill; the rolled embankment to have a slope
of 3.1 on the face .and 2.1 on the back
and a top width of 10 feet. The reservoir
will have a water surface of six acres and
a capacity or 4,000.000 cubic feet or SO.Oon.
000 gallons. The water surface will be at
an elevation of 1480 feet, and the berme
at an elevation 0.1 i4o.
The penstocks will consist of two lines of
riveted steel pipe. reducing In various
thicknesses of plate from 42-Inch diameter
to 39-lnch diameter, then to 39-Inch diame
ter at the wheels. While a single line
might prove cheaper as to first cost, under
existing conditions where an Isolated plant
is required to carry the load. It is better
practice to have two lines at least. These
lines will be laid far enough apart to mini
mize the chance of failure of both lines
through accident at the same time. Pen
stocks shall be securely anchored with con
crete anchors and both lines by-passed in
such a manner as will permit of each, or
both, lines to be connected with any or
all wheels. As designed the two penstocks

The powerhouse will be 60 feet by 100 feet,
concrete building, and will contain a generator-room,
transformer-rooms and switch
rooms. Th generating and transforming machin
ery equipment wllf be designed of a suffi
cient number of units so as to enable most
economical operation of the plant.
The transmission line will follow the
county road from beadworks to Portland.
It will carry a current of 66,000 volts and
consist of a pole line carrying three No. 4
copper wires, Delta system, 72 inches be
tween wires. A telephone system will be
strung on poles 20 feet below the power
lines. This telephone system will also be
used by the Bureau of Water Works for
the operation of the gates at the -intake.
The estimate for transformer station Is
grouped with the estimate for the distribu
tion system.
Cost Is Shown.
The cost of this hydro-electric plant, as
herein contemplated, will be In the aggre

Total $327,682
The estimates on construction cost are
sufficiently liberal to Insure that the ilg
ures given will be adequate therefor.
In the annual expense account for oper
ation and maintenance considerable economy
will be accomplished by blending some of
the activities with like service in the Bu-
reau of Water Works. Through this meth
od considerable saving can be made over
the above estimates.
To finance this hydro-electric project It
will be necessary to lvsue Electric Power
bonds In the sum of $1,777,000. These bonds
should be of the class known as serials, to
run for a' term of 22 years, to be retired
1-20, or G per cent each year after the sec
ond year. Bonds of this class, by redeem
ing 0 per cent each year for 20 years, will
reduce the average annual interest from
$88,841 to $44,420.50. This saving in Inter
est could very well go Into an extension
fund for added development. It is agreed
by all that serial bonds are prefers Ule to
any other form, for the reason that the
utility Is enabled to begin paying off its In
debtedness Immediately after construction Is
completed. My reason for suggesting a life
or mzz years for these bonds and to begin
reaeemlng same after the second year
based on the assumption that tt will re
quire about two years to complete the plant,
and by deferring sinking fund or redemption
fund payments until the third year the
plant will be earning revenue from which
such payments may be made.
Revenue Is Estimated.
In estimating the revenue to be earned
by this plant I have assumed that for mu
nicipal requirements there should be 5000
arc lamps, or their equivalent, requiring
6.077. 2o0 kilowatt hours per year at the
lamps. (This is about 50 per cent Increase
over the present number of Installed are
lamps). Under the present contract the city
is paying a rate of per lamp tor ioy
underground-system lamps, and $51 per
tamp tor MMVmj aerial arc lamps, a total or
S1S3.0-J4. Taking this amount of $i&:i,024
and divining by soon we have struck 1
arbitrary rate of $36.60 per lamp, which will
equal the present contract cost of $183,024.
In other words, the municipal plant proposes
to rurnisn the city nearly 00 per cent In
crease in arc lamps at the same annual cost
as obtains under the present contract. For
municipal purposes Is also included 750. OOO
kilowatt hours Incandescent light and power
at .vz (tne present contract rate), making
a sum of $15,0O), or total cost for municipal
purposes of $198,024.
The above apportlonate for municipal re
quirements equals about 2500 horsepower, or
one-nait or tne power wnicn the city will
nave available. Good business would re
quire tnat tne balance of available power
(about 25O0 horsepower) should be disposed
of in the most advantageous1 wav. (An ef
ficiency of 80 per cent in the distribution
system Is used In estimates of Dower avail-
able.
Seattle Bate Taken.
Assuming that the greatest benefit to tha
city would be the sale of this power for
resiaence or domestic consumption I have
adopted for this estimate the rates charged
by the Seattle municipal lighting plant.
wnicn are as follows:
Residence lighting. 45 kilowatt hours at
5 cents; over 45 kilowatt hours at 2 cents.
Business lighting, 100 kilowatts at 44
cents; graduated to 720 and over until the
rate of 1.32 per kilowatt hour Is reached.
Power. 100 kilowatt hours at 8 k cental
graduated to 720 kilowatt hours and. over at
o cent per Kilowatt nour.
under these rates the avers re return Mr
kilowatt hour for all power disposed of by
tne beattie municipal plant was 10.032.
Using this as a basis, the 5.835. 825 kilowatt
hours at $0,032 will yield an annual rev
enue of $186,746.40. (This estimate la on
the assumption that SO per cent of this
power can be disposed of at the averace
rate received by the Seattle plant.) It Is
probable that the following tabulation will
oe more illuminating, and Is submitted here
with: Revenue:

From the above you will note th. .rt.r
increasing; the number of aro lamp by
almost 50 per cent, furnishing Incdn
cent lighting and power for municipal pur
poses at present contract rates of two cents,
and after making an average rate for SO
per cent of the balance of available cur
rent at theV extremely low rates charged by
mo municipal piant, arter all ex
penses are paid, together with Interest on
Investment and sinking -fund for the re
demption of bonds, the plant will show a
surplus is-nd profit of $57,088.40. This Is
on the basis that only SO per cent of this
power In excess of the municipal require
ment will be sold. There will still be left,
and might be sold at a very low rate to
Industries or for domestic purposes, more
man ij,uuu,uuu Kilowatt hours.
Incidentally It might be noted here that
it Is reported that the City of Taeoin. h..
secured a new Industry, a nitrate plant.
u im. unierea into a contract to furnish
power principally on off-peak load at H
cent per kilowatt hour. The successful
operation of these plants Is dependent on
cheap power, and the low rate for electric
current was the one Inducement that se
cured for Tacoma this new enterprise.
In conclusion, I would respectfully recom
mend that the City Attorney be lniimn.
orm a cnarxer amendment, providing
for the sale of 1.77T.0O0 of municipal bonds
for the purpose of constructing a municipal
electric power plant. The provision of this
charter amendment to be to the effect that
the charges for service shall be sufficient
to defray all expenses of construction, oper
ation, maintenance, interest and redemption

INTEREST REFUND IS ASKED
Laurelhurst Residents Make De
mand and Error la Found.
What appears to have been a series
of mistakes by the old City Council in
refunding assessments on water mains
constructed by property owners, has
been uncovered as a result of demands
made by some of the residents of the
Laurelhurst district that the city in
refunding assessments in that district
also should refund about $70,000 ac
crued interest on the assessments.
The city charter says that the amounts
of the assessments shall be refunded
when the property owners pay revenue
amounting to 6 per cent of the cost of
construction of the mains. It does not
provide for relieving; the property own-
er oi accrued interest.

BLOCKADE IS FELT
Movement of Oregon Products
Is Seriously Affected.
CAR SHORTAGE HANDICAP
Congestion of Traffic at Eastern
Terminals and Salting of Ocean
Snipping Works Hardship .
on Western Trade.
On top of the car shortage that has
crippled Oregon Industries, prevented
the shipment of a big part of last
year's wheat crop to market, and Inci
dentally played Its part in forcing up
prices of goods brought here for con
sumption, looms now added grief for
the producer and shipper of the Pacific
Northwest because of the virtual
freight blockade that has come as the
result of the vexed international sit
uation. It is true, say those in close touch
with industrial affairs, that oonditlons
as regards the shipment and export of
Oregon products could not be much
worse than they are now; nevertheless,
they are apprehensive that the prom
ised relief will be delayed interminably
and perhaps the situation will grow
even worse.
Worse Situation Impend.
The effect of it all will likely be
to intensify the unfavorable situation
that now confronts us In the Pacific
Northwest." said J. N. Teal yesterday.
"Unless the blockade Is Broken, the
effect will certainly be felt here. All
that will be required will be a little
time for the piling up of the traffic
to make Itself noticed here."
It is declared that the result of the
congestion now so marked at the ISast
ern terminals will be not unlike that
of souring water Into a reservoir al
realy well filled. Hopes but recently
were entertained for removal of the
embargo on freight shipments from
the West which the railroads had im
posed upon all but perishable prod
ucts. It now seems the raising of the
embargo must necessarily be delayed,
probably for a long period.
With ocean tonnage almost a negli
gible quantity for carrying Northwest
products to market, because of the un
precedented demand made by the war
for ships of all classes, with the rail
roads refusing eastbound freight, save
certain specified kinds, and with the
Eastern terminals crammed with goods
that cannot now be exported, the Ore
gon producer Is not altogether in a
happy frame or mina toaay.
Car Tims Seen.
The added gldt of freight put upon
the Eastern terminals because of the
submarine situation will not have the
effect of releasing cars for Western

LADIES! DARKEN
YOURJM HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.
The use of Sag-e and Bulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used to keep her hair beautifully
dark, g-lossy and attractive. Whenever
her hair took on that dull, faded or
streaked appearance, this simple mix
ture was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking- at
any drugstore for a 60-cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
you will gret this famous old prepara
tion, improved by the addition of other
Ingredients, which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. Tou simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking- one
strand at a time. By morning- the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, it becomes beauti
fully dark and glossy.
W yeth s Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.
It Is not intended for the cire, mitiga
tion or prevention or aisease. Adv.
