THE MORNING OREGON! AN, SATURDAY, JULY 2G, 1910. 19 T PUNS I HI Sit CITY COUNCIL Barbur and Bigelow in Favor of Scheme; Mayor, Pier Not. GREAT SAVING IS SHOWN Executive Fears Private Firms Could Hot Compete; Profit of 10 . Cents a Yard Made. Should the city of Portland enter the paving business unable to handle all paving required In the city, or should it operate doing -whatever Is possible at a low cost, with other necessary "work let to private contractors at much higher prices? .This question developed as the princi pal feature of an Informal meeting of the city council yesterday, when City Commissioner Barbur presented his idea of enlarging the municipal paving repair plant at an approximate cost of J25.000. This plant, he explained, would have a capacity of about 100,000 square yards of pavement per year. Both Mayor Baker and City Com missioner Pier advocated either going into the business prepared to handle the paving needs of the city or refraining from making a half-hearted entry in the field. This policy, both officials explained, was taken on the show'ing that had been made by the municipal paving repair plant of costs far below that of private contractors, and on the ground that with office rent, dock rental and other costs eliminated by the city, competition by private corpo rations would be impossible. Bigelow Says "Walt." "What do you plan to do," asked Mayor Baker, "lay pavements for some people at low prices and let contracts for work in other parts of the city at much higher costs?" "Not necessarily," answered Commis sioner Bigelow, who proved to be an enthusiastic supporter of Commissioner Barbur's plan, "if they want the work bad enough, let them pay the higher prices; otherwise let them wait." "Such a plan," saia Commissioner I'ier, "is manifestly unfair, for if one person can have pavement at low costs, ueitainly other property owners have the same right." The meeting opened with the presen tation of figures on work accomplished by the paving plant during the last year and a half. These figures, ex plained Commissioner Barbur, were compiled from actual costs on various Johs and show an estimated saving of S42.S09.10 between the cost of the work by the city plant and the prices of fered by private contractors or esti mates of the average prices bid by pri vate contractors. Over Hnlf Saved. ilr. Barbur said that Terwilliger "boulevard was paved by the city at a total cost of J13.972.G1 whereas the same Job by private contract would have brought the price to $32,123.52. Thus he said there was a saving on this work of $18,150.91. Another job used as an example by Ir. Barbur to sliov the saving capacity of the munic ipal plant was the hardsurfacing of Kaft "-seventeenth street by the county. A I'art of this work was done by the city at 77 cents per square yaod, and the other portion completed by private contract at a cost of $1.53 per square yard. Kstimates for an enlarged plant as advocated by Commissioner Barbur show a total cost of 1'3,9j2 which in cludes the erection of a dock, new bunkers, paving plant building, new equipment, moving of the present plant to the proposed new dock, and railroad tracks. Through negotiations carried on by Commissioner Barbur and the public dock commission, the city has been granted permission to utilize the Jef ferson street levee for the paving plant sile without rental costs. in addition to the establishment of a new paving plant at the foot of Jef rsun street. Air. Barbur contemplates obtaining possession of property owned by Giebisch & Joplin, near the O.-W. H. & N. company's track on Sullivan's gulch, from which paving materials, such as gravel and sand, can be ob tained. Property Offered Cheap. This property has been offered to the city for $500 and the payment of as sessments totaling $1093. To properly equip this property to take out the jnuterials would require an expenditure pf $000, which brings the proposed expenditure planned by Mr. Barbur for establishment of a new paving plant to J2S.545. Under such an arrangement Mr. Bar bur explained that the capacity of the present paving plant, which stands on ground leased at a rental of $1200 a year, would be increased 50 per cent, and that between 1300 and 1400 square yai'tia of pavement could be turned out each day. Commissioner Pier first asked what margin o profit the plant operated on, and learned that 10 cents per. square yard was the average profit of the city on each job. This margin of profit, lie maintained, was not sufficient to jncet exigencies which are bound to develop in any business. The past record of the pa.ving plant was re ferred to by Mr. Barbur to Justify his methods. Mayor tara for Competitors. Mayor Baker then began laying a barrage of questions to establish the fact that private contractors could not possibly compete with the city on an even basis. Mr. Barbur settled any doubt along this line by saying tiiat with free office rent, ability to use the leaving crew on other work the year around, and the elimination of uncer tainty over contracts, which faces the private contractor, that no living per son on earth could afford to lay pave ment as cheaply as a municipality equipped with a paving plant such as is proposed for Portland. Then came a long round of argument ever the wisdom of breaking into the paving business in competition with private industry, with the city not fully equipped to handle all the paving busi ness. Commissioner Barbur maintained Steadily throughout the argument that the city should "creep before walking." and that the business should be entered step by step. In this view, he was supported by Commissioner Bigelow, with Mayor Baker and Commissioner Pier plainly satisfied that such a policy would be unfair to many of the property owners who would desire work done by the city plant. . SI nek Work In Sicfct. Commissioner Barbur told the council that a plant large enough to handle all the paving business in the city would be impossible without a city election to authorize a bond issue. The council calendar it is understood will Carry specifications for 40,000 yards of pavement next week, and the week following $0,000 yards is expected on DKVIHG the calendar for authorization. The proposed new plant will have a yearly capacity of 100,000 yards, which would be but a small part of the city paving business. The estimates presented by Mr. Ear bur for the new plant at the foot of Jefferson street include $5350 for the material and erection of a new dock. $8200 for bunkers with a capacity of 1050 cubic yards, $2350 for a paving plant bulldlngr $5000 for new equip ment. $4000 for moving of the old plant to new location and $1052 for trackage. The last item he said might not be expended, but other items were neces sary. Following the presentation of the estimates. Commissioner Barbur said that he would present his proposal to the city council formally after mem bers of the council had made a study of his figures. YOUNG SALMON SEIZED ASTORIA WARDEN" CONFISCATES IMMATURE FISH CARGO. Reports Say That Columbia Waters Are Strewn With Dead Baby Chinooks. ASTORIA, Or., July 25. (Special.) This morning the purse seining craft Chinook brought in 250 young Chinook salmon from 16 to 18 inches in length that tipped the scales at 720 pounds, an average of less than three pounds each. The fish were confiscated by Deputy Warden Larson, who placed them in cold storage pending receipt from the department of instructions as to what charges shall be filed. Captain Antone Mardich, master of the craft, said he released fully 2000 young fish from his seine before pick ing it up. Reports received - today by Deputy Larson state that the water outside the mouth of, the river is strewn with thousands of dead baby salmon which have apparently been killed and thrown away. He is making a strong effort to have the destruction of these immature salmon stopped, and for that purpose is urging the packers not to accept delivery of any chinooks weigh ing under ten pounds each. TAC0MA INCREASES SHOWN Finance Commissioner to Meet De mand for More Pay. TACOMA, Wash., July 25. (Special.) Finance Commissioner F. Shoemaker has completed a table of salary com parisons for city employes which indi cates what progress the city has made in the programme of salary boosting" in the last two years. According- to the figures, Mr. Shoe maker says the city paid in the first six months of 1919 $250,000 more in salaries to city employes than in the first six months of 1917, an increase of 73.7 per cent. At this rate the salaries for the year will be a round half mil lion more than two years ago The commissioner has gathered the data in view of the fact that city em ployes are getting- ready td make an other strong demand for more pay when the new budget is created next month SHERIFF DESTROYS LIQUOR $9000 Confiscated Stock Spilled by Montesano Official. MOSTESAXO, Wash., July 25. (Spe cial.) Sheriff Jeff Bartell destroyed more than $9000 worth of confiscated liquor at the courthouse Wednesday afternoon. During the process of the smashing, a bottle exploded, cutting the officer's hand severely, though not se riously. Figuring that if whisky is good to kill the effects of snake bites and other poisons, it should also be a remedy to prevent blood infection from broken glass, the sheriff promptly called for a bottle of the very best bonded liquor in the stock, broke the neck and sprinkled the contents over his hand. There was every kind of liquor imag inable in the $!000 pile, from German lager beer to champagne of rare vint age as well as pure alcohol. FIRES THREATEN SHEEP Blaze on Colville Indian Reservation Menaces Range. YAKIMA, Wash., July 25. (Special.) H. Stanley Coffin of this city, yester day received a message from L. Wor den, who is caring- for 10,000 head of sheep on the Colville Indian reserva tion for himself and the Coffin in terests, stating- that four large forest fires threaten his flocks and range. He asked authority to employ men to fight the blazes. Mr. Wordcn will wait the outcome of weather bureau forecasts of rain, but if the situation does not improve will be obliged to employ a force of fire fighters, as the Indian service has no funds to use for the purpose and stock men must protect their own range on Indian lands. ROAD ROW AT ABERDEEN City and County Disagree Over Route and Costs. ABERDEEN", Wash.. July 25. (Spe ciol.) Continuing disagreement be tween members of the citycouncil and the county commissioners as to the best route for the Olympic highway into the city led to the council decision last night to hire an outside expert to look over the proposed routes and advise as to which one would be best. The proposal to bond the city for the expense of the new road is op posed by a number of property owners. E. B. Benn, one of the large owners, stated today that his opposition would be persistent and active to any bond issue. He and others favor leaving: the county to build the road.

BULK OF OUTPUT IS SOLD Field Conditions Are Reported Gen erally Satisfactory 4 0,00 0 to 50,000 Bales Expected. The hop market continues a strong af fair, but whether prices will so above the present level Is problematical, according to local dealers. Buy in, so far as the 1918 crop is concerned. Is practically at an end. only a few small lots here and there re maining unsold. For such holdings prices around 05 cents are said to be readily ob tainable, but little or no trade in last year's crop Is reported. New crop contracts are said to be worth 50 cents, and the market at that figure is declared firm. The bnlk of the 1919 growth was contracted earlier In the season, much of it at prices running from 15 to 30 cents, which, in view of the prices now obtainable will mean considerable losses to some of the Oregon growers. However, there were a good many term contracts made early in the season, for three years, and under these the producers will fare somewhat better. Crop conditions in this state are report ed to be satisfactory on the whole, fully up to the average showing at this stage of the season, and It is believed now that the out put for Oregon this year will be between 40,000 and 60,000 bales. Soma complaints have reached the city of damage done by the red spider and the growers In some sec tions have resorted to spraying to combat the pest, but generally the crop is said to be doing well. Picking, as usual, will be gin about the first of September. LOCAL BARLEY MARKET BOOMING Blue Rort Jumps From S63 to 967 Several Important Sales Made.

CORN CLOSES UNSETTLED BUYERS IX CHICAGO MARKET cxrscAiisr cautiocs. Absence of Export Call and Moder ate Hedging Have Weakening Effect on Oats Trade. CHICAGO. July 25. Although continued drouth and heat put bears at a disadvan tage In the corn market today, wire buyers were more than usually cautious owing to absence as yet ot any reports of notable crop damage. The market closed unsettled, 1 cent net lower to a like advance with September 41.85V & 1.85S, and necember 1.6.S osl.6oT4. Oat finished V V cent to c cent down and with provisions vary ing from 40 centa decline to a rise of SO cents. With temperatures abovo normal and no rain In sight, few traders cared to sell short In the corn msrket. This was es pecially the case at firat. Later, however. cloudy conditions here Induced many holders to unload rather tnan taKe cnances ox tn effect that a sudden shower may have nn sentiment. Absence of export ca'.l tended to weaken oats' and so too did a moderate amount of hen trine.
