THE MORXIXG OHEGONIAX, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1920 T7T ZOrJING- ORDIWAKCE AIHED IN COUNCIL Hearing Ends' in Passage Third Reading. to TILT ENLIVENS SESSION Major Baker 'and Coe 3IcKenna Clash as Latter Argues Against Proposed Law. Benefits and evils of zoning were fcrouptit to view in a public hearing before the city council yes terday, which culminated with the passage of the proposed building ordinance to . third reading. The measure will come before .the city council for adoption or rejection JVedneAday, March 3. Passage of the oroinance by the city council will result in the Invocation of the referendum, bringing the pro posed ordinance before the voters at the next rity election, according to Roger Sinnott,. who pleaded with the members of the council to refer the measure to the voters arrtt thus save the opponents the xpenee of circu lating petitions. Opinio Freely Givern. Sentiment' in connection with the "ordinance was fairly well divided, the opponents utilizing the entire morn ing session of the council, with the proponents In the majority during the afternoon session. Fully 2o persons expressed their opinions before one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a Council meeting in recent . ears. Representatives of various clubs appeared before the council - recom mending passage of the zone ordi nance. D. K. Nickerson, president of - the central labor council, carried la bor's indorsement of the plan, saying that after careful consiaeration the building trades council had indorsed it, and that following this actio the central labor council, which includes representatives of all labor organi zations in Portland, had voted to in dorse the measure as one necessarj to the future growth and prosperity of the city. Arthur M. Churchill of the Oregon - civic league and H. W. Barnes, repre senting the Portland Chapter of American Kngineers, favored the pass age of the ordinance by the city cun " cu, while Herbert Gordon, legislator and builder, vigorously opposed ,the ordinance, saying that it was the duty of the council to refer the measure to the electorate. ' r Ignoraare Held A r mi meat. ' -In a brief statement, J. P. Newell, president of the city planning coiu - mission, fathering , the ordinance, spoke in favor of its adoption. Mr. Newell was one of the last speakers at the hearing and virtually closed the case for the proponents. "The ignorance displayed by certain speakers in opposition to this plan, speakers who are presumed to know the most about it, is one of the best arguments that 1 can ad van for not submitting this measure to the voters," argued Mr. Newell. . "The zoning ordinance is not alone a prin ciple, which can be disposed of as a bond election or something of ;that sort. One part of the ordinance is the work of an attorney, another part concerns that with which build ers alone are familiar, and so on through the ordinance." Fred German, president of 'the Portland realty board, in arguing against the passage of the ordinance at the present time, suggested that the city council send notices to every property owner in the city, notifying such property owner of the proposed classification decided upon in his case. Such a plan, he contended, would give every property owner notice of the action contemplated. Not doing so. he insisted, would leave many prop erty owners witnout knowledge of what was being done, and such prop erty owners would awaken to the true realization of the truth, when the ordinance had been adopted by the council. ' Referendum la Ajuiared Roger Sinnott, an attorney, assured members of the city council that he would aid in placing -the referendum on the measure, should the council adopt the proposed ordinance. Air. Sinnott, in beginning his argument, inferred that the members of the council, who were sitting in the ca pacity of judges, were prejudiced in favor of the measure.' Mr. Sinnott contended that zone ordinances io effect in other cities were not as drastic as Is the proposed ordinance drawn for Portland, that less than 10Ou persona attended the neighborhood meetings and assisted In the drafting of the ordinance, and j that because the proponents of the ! measure have had the "taxpayers' money" to scatter propaganda favor- ing the measure, the opponents should : be favored to the extent of having the zoning ordinance referred to the vote of the people by the city council. Clank Preelplttfted. Kumvr crept into the hearing sev eral times yesterday morning, and only once was a serious clash precip itated. This -was brought about when Mayor Baker interrogated Coe A McKenna Jr., vice-president of the Portland realty board, who had just concluded a lengthy talk againvt adoption of the ordinance. "Has anyone a right to an opinion except the realty board and your self?" asked Mayor Baker. ".Don't answer that question. Coe. shouted Roger Sinnot, an avowed opr ponent to the xoning plan. "It's an insult." ,. , For a moment the council chamber resounded with voices picking up Mr. Stnnot's sentiments. Mayor Baker rapped vigorously for order, which, when attained, was frllowd hy an altercation between the mayor and Attorney Sinnott. "Bo you wish to take part In this deliberation?' sought Major Baker. "That's my business," notly replied Mr. Sinnott. "It's mjr business to put you tut of this room if you don't behave your self," shot the mayor. That the proposed sonfng act lias elements of socialism and single 'tax in it was the assertion made by Mr. McKenna, He contended that the ordinance Was for the -protection of wealthy residential districts,' for the protection of certain business" estab lishments located in the suburbs of the city -and that potential business streets have been designated for apartment house sites or single fam ily dwellings, when such streets have always been recognized and assessed as business property. . Caae Is Cited. Mr. McKenna cited one specific In stance, where property owned by a member of his family at Twentieth and Everett streets has' been desig nated as single family dwelling prop erty, whereas a dozen apartment houses are located around this prop erty, which, he said, was located vir tually in the center of the city. The passage of the xoning act. Mr. McKenna argued, would necessitate a complete reclassification of tax val ues; would require additional entries in abstracts, which he predicted would increase the cost to home buyers, and would give certain protection to ex clusive residential property that can not be 'enjoyed by other sections of the city. 'The zoning act presented tav this council is not similar to zoning acts adopted in other cities, such as Los Angeles, Oakland, St. Louis and New York. Give us the same kind of xon ing as these cities have adopted and you will face no opposition. Many of the speakers opposed to the ordinance sought specific changes in classification, which Mayor Baker assured them could be obtained if they would present petitions to the city council, as is specificed in the zone act.

By City Attorney LaRoche, the mayor has been present ed with the resignation of Miss Dins moore, . . ' , I The- resignation has not been ac cepted by the mayor, who said yester day that, although he feels the repri mand was necessary under the 'cir cumstances, he doe not feel that his assistant is any more guilty than have been many other city officials, whose laxity in approving "prior year" bills has not been detected. Miss Pinsmoore. he explained, has been unusually efficient and capable, and, although he Is loath to lose her services from his department, the mayor Is firm In his belief that his action was justified and that he has nothing to retract Action on the res ignation, ho said, must await develop ments, although if Miss Dinsmoore desires to return to her position by withdrawing her resignation.' the mayor will permit it.

Beauchamp, representative of the bureau of markets, livestock and meat division, in charge of survey organization, that certain information gleaned by him and his men has been turned over to Mr, Palmer for his guidance. Mr. Beauchamp reached the city yesterday from Los Angeles and San Francisco, where he organizeq ana directed or a time the constructive survey undertaken by the department of which he is a representative. He is registered at the Hotel Multnoman. During the day he conferred with James Christensen, who will have charge of the work here, in Seattle and Spokane, and with Will H. Daly, federal fair price commissioner for Oregon. Lower Prices Aim. Having just reached the city, Mr Beauchamp made no statement for publication as to local prices, but Mr. Daly had previously' called attention to the fast that, while wholesale quo tations had showed a high per cent of decline, there has been no correspond ing decrease in retail rates. "The nation-wide survey ordered by the department of agriculture through the bureau of markets is a- broad con structive measure," said Mr. Beau champ. "It is designed to assist not only the general public but the trade as well, by checking on the manner of doing business, testing carcasses as to cuts and values and, after having carefully done thiB, to make a report, embodying helpful suggestions where by, if possible, prices may be lowered, the consumer benefited and with no unfair advantage against the dealers.

The Astoria suit is the fifth at tempt of Keeley to obtain separation from Evalyn Keeley, once on a cross complaint, the other times in suits he filed. He twice was denied relief in California and his attempt to estab lish his residence In Oregon and get his freedom in proceedings brought in Oregon courts met with a severe setback when Judge McCourt an nounced that the circuit court of Ore gon was not to be made a clearing house for r-.arital troubles which other states refused to end. Keeley received a severe arraign ment from Judge McCourt, who ac cused him of apparent bad faith In the action and of coming to Oregon for the sole purpose of evading the refusal of Los Angeles courts to grant him freedom. The jurist held that Keeley had absolutely no legal basis for his suit, as the issues had already been adjudicated In California. Granting of the divorce in Oregon was contested vigorously by District CPUnni UCfln IC V FPTpn Attorney Evans at the hearing.

"I had been suffering from stomach trouble and also with rheumatism in my legs. 1 kept get ting worse until I was in a badly run down condition and hardly able to do my work. Although I had a poor appetite and ate very little, noth ing I ate digested properly and would sour, causing a bad taste in my moyth, and I would bloat up so bad with gas I could hardly get my breath. I aleo had such intense cramping pains i n the pit of my stomach after every meal I could hardly stand them and suffered with terrible attacks of heartburn. My Kidneys bothered me a great deal, there was always a pain across the small of my back and the rheuma tism In my legs pained me all the time. At night I could not sleep on account of this pain and would just roll and toss all night long and in the mornings felt worse than when I went to bed. I lost a great deal of weight and strength and just felt so tired and wornout all the time I could hardly get about. "So many of my friends advised me to try Tanlac because they said it had done them a lot of good I decided to give it a trial. Well, sir, I began to get better almost at once and it was not long before 1 had such a good ap petite I could hardly get enough to eat and now I can eat anything with out having a particle of trouble after wards. The rheumatism has left my legs entirely, my kidneys are in fine shape and 1 never have a pain in my back any more, I sleep like a log every night and always get up feel ing greatly refreshed and ready for my day's work.
