EE T CAR PROBLEM t PERPLEXES COUNCIL WaY Out of Difficulties Yet Visioned. .'CITY ALREADY BURDENED - Mult Purchase of Trackage, as Proposed. Might Mean Big Bond Issue. Special Meeting Called. 1 Although apparently willing to per ' itiit the voters of Portland to pass ' on the various proposals offered by ; two members of the public service commission to relieve me , difficulties of the Portland Kat'.way. Light & Power company and to pre vent an advance In street-car fares. ', members of the city council are per plexed over the possible financial rli!?ht into which the city itself might be placed should the voters adopt the ruggested measures at the May elec tion. Loss of revenue from the street-car ; company now devoted to municipal' ! functions, possible expenditure of large sums of money In maintenance f track areas should the city acquire the trackage of the traction company jn Portland, as well as payment ui in terest on a bond Issue neces.arj to purchase the trackage, all present problems to the city commissioners, who already face the necessity of car rying on the city government . with limited funds. In view of the necessity of deciding en submission of the proposals to the voters at once. Alayor Baker has called a special meeting of the city council tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, when discussion will begin. CommUMioD to Be Heard. The mayor will ask members of the public service commission to attend this meeting and to bring their en gineers to fully advise tne council of the findings made in the exhaust ive investigation carried on by the commission in connection Willi the hearings on the application for an increased street car fare. ' Members of the council are not yet ready to discuss the proposals, ad mitting that it would be serious to impair street car service by refusing relief, and also admitting that an increase in street car fares would not he a permanent solution of the diffi culties confronting the car company. Were the cily itself in a healthy financial condition, the entire situa tion would be clearer. H is because of the fact that k-s than 15,000 re mains in the general fund of the oity to meet emergencies and because of the continued increased costs of ma terials serving as an added drain on the limited resources of the city which r.,ui.-. i h nrnnosals a truly serious problem to the city. , j Bond Thought yernnarj. Some of the councllmen believe that . a bond issue would have to be au ' thorised for the purchase of the track- age. if the voters decide on thi and In -' addition to meet the cost of nialnte . .' nance of tracks for a period of years. A year ago it was estimated that to put the tracks of the street-car :v company into reasonable shape would . oost approximately $1,000,000, accord ' ' ing to City Commissioner Uarbur. and . with tracks deteriorating to a great extent each year and the cost of steel 1 continuously on the upward grade, it . is doubtful if the work could be done for this amount at present. Air. Bar ' bur asserts. . Careful study will be given the pro posals, for members of the council i '' feci that the public service commis- elon has placed the burden of respon i sibili'ty irpon the council and voters I of the city.

Deputation at City Hall Has Lively Discussion Over Proposed Pav - ing of East 58th Street. Blood and dynamite figured., verb ally, in an attraction at the city hall yesterday, regarding the paving of East Fifty-eighth street. Mrs. Marlon B. Cleveland, who is a familiar figure at the city hall, al though not living on the street in Question, has been endeavoring to prevent the proposed .Improvement and appeared in person to protest. "We want that pavement this sum mer and there is only one "knocker" In the community and she don't live on our street," was the declaration of Mrs. Lewis Mason. 73 East Fifty- eisrhth street "1 being the only woman active in this remonstrance, she plainly means me." objected Mrs. Cleveland when rs. Mason sat down. "Anyway, the houses on Fifty-eighth street are of very poor construction and within 10 years will be mere shacks. Also. 1 have been threatened with personal harm should I persist." "Well, did you not say something about living in an I. W. W. com munity In your written communica tion?"' asked Mayor Baker, while the large crowd roared with laughter. "The rain rims Into her cellar, too." persisted Mrs. Cleveland. "I Invite this council to come out and view my cellar if they think it isn't " perfectly dry," rejoined Mrs. Mason.

Sigel Grutze, clerk, read Mrs. Cleveland's written " protest, which wound up by declaring: "Woe be unto him who buildeth a city upon blood!"

Daylight saving as applied to Port land died an untimely death in the city council yesterday, but the end found Mayor Baker on deck, standing nobly by his guns, while the other our members combined to make the vote a lonely one against four. ."Now vou know how I feel when I stand all alone in the council." Com missioner Blgelow remarked. "Well, you don't hear ine grouching about it. do you?" the mayor retorted.

"Plenty of It comes up bore hunting us; I am opposed to the plan. For. myself, I will Je found about 6 o'clock every summer morn 'ing out In my garden, without chang ing any clocks." . And then the mayor cast a furtive glance at Commissioner Pier. . "Unless It's a universal thing, I can't see its workability."' was that commissioner's response. "I feel that way about it, myself," was the way Commissioner Mann re plied when the mayor looked at him. "And you?" sadly and apprehen sively ventured the mayor, casting his eyes toward ttoinmlssioner Blgelow. "Not for it at all." said Mr. Blge low. "There would seem to be some op position. Call the roll," said Mayor Baker, and the record was made. The junior department of the Mon dey .Musical club will have their usual musical afternoon Saturday at o'clock in the club rooms.
