OFFICIALS READY TO
TRIM GITY BUDGET
Emergency to Be Met if Two-
Mill Tax Measure Fails.
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.

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. .
