Question Arises as to Whether City or Owners Shall Make Necessary Connections. ,TVut Quality' Storc ot pout land Good" News for All' K? for Men and. LEGAL OPINION IS ASKED Boys Subject Raised of Portland's Iiack of Generosity in Encouraging Xew Industries to locate. Mayor Baker Takes Hand.' Another vital problem has bobbed up before the City Council the ques tion of providing fire protection for shipbuilding plants. . Investigation has disclosed the fact that several, of the largest and most important plants on the waterfront are without adequate water main service to protect them in case of a serious fire. The situation has given great alarm to Fire Chief Dowell and to Mayor Baker as the result of a blaze at the Northwest plant Wednesday night, which might have got beyond control had it not been discovered so soon. The question arises now whether the city-should finance the laying of addi tional water mains to these plants or whether the plants should be forced .to do this. Involved in this question "is that of whether the ship plants io paying taxes for fire protection are not entitled to that protection. On the other hand, should the city finance the construction of the mains it will mean a big expenditure from the city's water funds. City Attorney Consider Point. ' The question of whether the city has a right legally to lay mains in private property or whether it is confined to dedicated streets has been referred to City Attorney Laltoche for an opinion. He expects to have a written opinion on the subject within a day or two. If it is decided that the city can build the .mains or can do so by changing the existing laws, the question arises should it be done? , Underlying the whole situation is that of the activities of other cities throughout the United States along lines of encouraging and helping in dustries. It has been called to the at tention of the Council that the City of Baltimore has made an offer to the Northwest Shipbuilding Company of a tax-free tract of land In Baltimore if the company will move to Baltimore. It is wondered whether the company would accept this proposition if its Portland plant should be destroyed by fire. Offers of a similar nature have been made by other cities. William Morrow has called to the at tention of the Council the fact that in variably large investors in industries come to Portland first and look over the ground. 'William Morrow Protent. "We have shown many of them over the city and have convinced them that Portland is just what they want," said Mr. Morrow to the Council. "They have continued their investigations and al most invariably have established their plants in other cities. This would in dicate that something alls Portland's business ability. We know what other cities are doing to get industries and it is time' we are awakening." Mayor Baker, who has come out in favor of the city constructing fire mains an ddoing everything else not onl yto protect the "plants and thereby perpetuate them, but to encourage them to locate here, has started an investi gation into the offers being made by other cities. He has written for in formation as to the laws and .systems under which these other cities, includ ing Baltimore. Seattle and Tacoma, make the tax-free offers they are mak ing. Fire Chief Dowell says the Are dan jacer at some -ef the plants is serious. "There is inadequate water to fight a fire of any size," he says. "If a good tire" gets a start these plants are doomed. And the dangers are con stant, as evidenced by the number of small fires we have had at some of the plants."
