BAD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE Further Reduction of Police Force and Closing of Parks Threat ened If Citizens Vote "Xo." While members of the city commis sion are contident the 2-mill emer gency tax measure will carry at the special, election Wednesday, plans have been made for a general cur tailment of all lines of service down to the least important of the city's activities in the event that the meas ure falls to carry and the city is left without ample funds to conduct its affairs next year. The council will have but five days after the election day to adopt its budget for next year. Therefore the individual members and heads of de partments have given consideration to meeting a possible curtailment crisis. The budget for next year must be adopted and the tax levy fixed by 5 o'clock next Monday. Commissioner Biselow, who has charge of the fire bureau, says that he has tentative plans for fire reduc tion. It is intimated that the plan will involve the closing of mine of the existing fire stations. Mr. Blge low saws that since the fire bureau is the most expensive in the city's list it will have to share largely in the J507.000 that must be cut out if the measure fails. Mayor Sure of l'ajfsage. Mayor Baker, who has charge ot the police bureau, has not worked out a plan of curtailment of police serv ice, he says, for the reason that he believes the public recognizes the emergency facing the city and will adopt the 2-miIl tax. "Any person who has given any thought or consid eration to the matter," he says, "can appreciate that the city with its growth of the last few years cannot continue with prices as they are now without additional revenue. If they do not appreciate this fact and favor curtailment of fire, police, health and other protection and favor elimina tion of all public improvements at a time when these services are inade quate and at a time when ahey are most needed, there will be nothing for us to do but trim. And Portland will be a sorry city when the trim ming is completed. "I believe the council will have five days to complete its pruning pro cess if the voters say 'prune.' An far as the police bureau is concerned, this will not be verjr difficult. It will simply mean that where from 10 to 30 of the beats of the city are Vacant each night now for lack of men there will be two or three times that number vacant after Decem ber 1." Improvement Aid Needed. Commissioner Barbur stated yes terday that all he needs to do is to eliminate plans for a force ot sur veyors, draftsmen, computers and similar help to prepare plans for street and sewer improvements next year, which improvements have been petitioned for by property owners against whom the cost of the work will be assessed, except the cost of preparing the plans for the work, which cost must by law be paid by the city. "If the voters of Portland want to prevent property owners who are pe titioning for improvemtns at their own and not at the taxpayers' ex pense, from .making these improve ments, it is a very simple matter for me as commissioner of public works to wipe the Improvement slate clean for 1920. Commissioner Pier, who has charge Of parks, says a defeat of the 2-mill tax measure will mean elimination of park activities. "The park bureau is large and will "have to bear a big share of the curtailment," he says. "It simply means that the additional parks and playgrounds provided fo? in a botid issue voted at the last elec tion cannot be established and that some of the present playgrounds and parks will have to be closed. Need to Vote Emphasised. "My opinion is that the public gen erally is against any such curtail ment as will become necessary, but the real opinion in the city may not be expressed because many voters will not take the trouble to vote There never was a more Important issue before the public of Portland and every person should vote." Commissioner Mann has prepared for a general curtailment of health service. He stated yesterday the cut ting of his forces will mean the elim ination of much of the protection of the public against epidemics and bad sanitary conditions. Cowlitz Bureau Desired. KELSO. Wash..

Stamps ill 22 Exclusive Kuppenheimer House in Portland Morrison and Fourth IB J house committee on public 1 ands. re ceived a strong letter of commenda tion today from Gifford Pinchot on the high character of the coal, oil, phosphate and sodium leasing bill which recently passed the house. "It is the best leasing, bill passed by either house." Mr. Pinchot said, "and you and the other members of your committee are entitled to credit for this great measure which follows so closely the conservation principles laid down by Theodore Roosevelt." MORTGAGE INVESTMENT Versus BONDS Many people ask "Aren't mortgages a better investment than bonds?". And it is true that, properly safeguarded, mortgages are an excellent investment, though always lacking in easy market ability, and possible increase in value. But the holding of a mortgage involves; the personal element of the borrower; watching of taxes; depreciation in property; delinquency in assessments and interest payments, and rental problems. For business or professional men and women, without time to attend to such details, a well-secured bond obtained through a reputable house is a much more satisfactory investment. .
