20-Foot Space Held Enough in
Residence Sections.
PAVING WOULD COST LESS
Recommendations of City Planning
Commission Soon to Be Presented
to Cltjr ConimlssJoners.
All future roadways In streets In
strictly residential districts in Port
land will ba SO feet wide If the recom
mendations to be made by the city
lannlnc commission meet with the fa
or of the city council. The plan will
In no way change the width of atreeta
already improved, but in any district
where curbs have not been installed
or where the streets have not been
hard-surfaced it is planned to curtail
the width to JO feet.
At a recent meeting; Charles H. Che
ney, consultant to the planning- com
mission, ura-ed that It feet be the
standard width of all future roadways
in reaidential districts. This plan was
vigorously opposed, first by City En
gineer Laurg-aard and later by some of
the commissioners. The present stand
ard width of roadways in residential
districts is i feet, except in a few
rases where the street Is less than CO
feet wide between property lines.
Caaialderable Oarlaa; Effected.
That Portland streets are narrow
enough at present was the argument
advanced by City Engineer Laurgaard
in opposition to Mr. Cheney's plan. Mr.
lurgaard favored the 20-foot road
way, however, on the ground that It
would mean a considerable savins; to
the property owners when the streets
are hard-surfaced.
"If the 20-foot roadway plan la
adopted by the council against the
present standard of 3 feet, aald l-n-
cineer Laurcaard. "it would mean
raving of SO cents per lineal foot or 145
on a iO-foot lot in paving costs.
It la possible that in soma streets
where the curbs have been Installed,
but the streets have not yet been im
proved, the SO-foot roadway will be
favored in view of the saving to the
property ownera in paving coats, even
though It will be necessary to expend
aonie money in moving the curbs.
Ullity Caaspaalra Beaefit.
The proposed change In unimproved
atreeta will prove beneficial to the
utility companies, according to Engi
neer Laura-sard, as they will be able
to install pipea in the wide parking
which will result from the narrow
roadway and it will be unnecessary to
constantly break up the hard-aurface
to make repalra.
Officials of the water bureau are op
posed to the proposed plan on the
ground that it would mean the relay
ing of many water maina through vari
ous sections of the city at great cost.
Other public utility companiea would
also be affected In a like manner and
it la probable that considerable pro
test will be made against the proposed
change, especially if It should affect
atreeta in which gaa and water mains
already have been laid.

I know that I am modest in pre
dicting that the first year the Pacific
and Koosevelt highways are completed
that 100,000 will be the minimum num
ber of visitors to the state," stated
S. C. Pier, city commissioner-elect. In
explaining why he accepted the posi
tion of president of the Roosevelt
Highway association. "I consider the
position as a patriotic duty to Oregon.
While always a good roads advocate.
I never fully appreciated the meaning
of finished highways until my recent
three months in southern California.
To my mind there is nothing that is o
such vital importance to the growth
and prosperity of the state as finished'
highways. '
"The commercial side of the question
is almost beyond estimate, for we
would be opening- up to development
one of the greatest dairying and gen
eral agricultural sections in Oregon,
and when you consider the possibilities
as a scenic all-the-year route for the
great pleasure-seeking multitudes from
California and the eastern states I am
at a loss for words to express my
reasonable expectations.
"As a worthy state issue, with the
government matching our bonds with
a like amount, making of it a needed,
strategic military hig-hway, with gov
ernment maintenance for all time, thus
taking the burden of taxation from the
Oregon people, it presents an oppor
tunity that appeals to me as a measure
that the citizens of Oregon can afford
to consider only In the broadest sense.
"At the present time the coast coun
ties are practically shut out from the
state of Oregon. We want them
brought into the state where they be
long. -

sions are being held this week at the
First church on East Sixteenth street.
"The church has been loyal to the
nation during the war," said the bishop.
It remains that we apply these larger
visions of the gospel to the every-day
problems that now are facing us. The

the conference, held Thursday at the

Plea for the use of Portland and
Oregon flour was based in part on the
fact that there is a glut-on the market
and all interests will benefit by the
movement of this surplus. The bakers
agreed to this as a sound business
principle. The conference was arranged

Here's a thing worth
thinking over!
The grindingof a lens is an exceedingly exacting
piece of work.
The man who does it must be more careful than a
watch-maker and more conscientious than a clergyman.
Such men are rare. .
The Columbian is able to get the finest of them
because it is able to pay the wages they want.
And because it can supply them with the fine equip
ment that fine workmen so strongly prefer.
If you knew of the care that is taken in the
