JSLAlJD PLAN ASKED
Formal Expression Desired;
by City Council.
HEARINGS TO BE HELD
An Citizens Will Be Given Oppor
tunity to Discuss Port Scheme,
According to Announcement.
Formal expression of approval of
fhe Swan Island development project
by the Port of Portland commission
and the commission of public docke is
sought by the city council in a reso
lution adopted yesterday by unani
mous vote.
Informal approval of the plan has
already been given by all members of
the two commissions, but actlnp upon
the suggestion of the committee of
fifteen in its report, the city council
desires to have such Expression as
a matter of record for future refer
ence. Resolution Is Pint Step.
The passage of the resolution yes-
fcrdav is the first step in the con
tideralion of the report submitted by
the committee of fifteen on the Swan
Island project, and is to be followed
by hearings at which all citizens will
be invited to participate. Dates of
such hearings will be announced later,
according to Mayor Baker.
F. C Knapp, who with Frank M.
Warren and J. B. Kerr, appeared be
fore the city council yesterday, rep
resenting the committee of fifteen.
outlined the development or tne ron
of Portland during the past few years
and explained the attitude of the
members of the committee of fifteen
in regard to the development of the
proposed plan.
"Ten years ago Portland had no
shipping." said Mr. Knapp. This was
because of three obstructions not
sufficient depth of water at the mouth
of the Columbia river, too many
bridges in Portland, and two bad
turns at Swan Island. The first ob
stacle was removed by the aid of the
g-overnment largely, although the
Port of Portland spent $400,000 in the
work, also.
People Awaken to Jteed.
As time went on the people of
Portland awakened to the need of
port government and voted bond is
sues with which money might be pro
cured for the proper development of
the port. The commission of public
docks did not have sufficient money
to remove the bad turns at Swan
Island and were powerless to remove
the bridges.
"After much study the commission
decided to jump over the bridges and
Swan Island, and go belc to estab
lish terminals to handle the shipping
which was expected to enter Port
land following the war.
"The wisdom of this move is now
apparent, for only men and material
are now necessary to complete tne
project and already it is operating
to compk'e capacity. With this
project abouL completed, the next lm
portant move in Portland develop
ment was discussed by the committee
of 15.
Co-operation Is Important
"It developed in the minds of the
committee of 15 that facilities to nan
die the business of the city of Port
land should be next considered. Other
projects have been investigated, but
with due respect to the mayor and
city council, we ask that we be not
smoked out on these projects at this
time.
"Portland's development as an In
dustrial center and shipping point
cannot be stopped, but it behooves
all to do their share in hurrying this
development and affording proper fa
cilities for the handling of the bust
ness of the city's- port."
The suggestion offered by City
Commissioner Barbur to transfer the
power of authority for appointing
members of the proposed consolidated
port commission from the state legis
lature to the governor of the state
was referred to City Attorney 1
Koche for a study and recommenda
tions.
Complication to Be Avoided.
Constitutional law, well established,
piving the port authority to levy
taxes, a power derived from the legis
lature, led to the recommendation
that the appointing power be invested
in the hands of the legislature, ac
cording to J. B. Kerr, attorney and
member of the committee of 16.
Mr. Kerr contended that the trans
fer of such authority might result
In casting doubt on the authority
of the port commission to levy taxes,
and it was the opinion of committee
members that no complications of a
legal nature should be invited.
Fear of logrolling by members of
the estate legislature in connection
with the appointment of future mem
bers of the port commission, should
the proposed plan be approved by
the voters, was given by Commto
eioner Barbur as his reason for sug
gesting a change. He contended that
the port commission should be freed
of political chains, and by delegat
ing the authority of appointment to
the governor, no great fear could be
exercised that the port commission
would divert Into a political football.
No opposition to the plan was ex
pressed at the preliminary meeting.
Mayor Baker extended an Invitation
to all who were present to speak.
The privilege of the floor was not
accepted by any of the visitors. Mayor
Baker then asked Alfred I. Aya,
representing the Peninsula Develop
ment company, if he desired the floor.
"I do not care to talk to the coun
cil at this time," explained Mr. Aya.
"This project is an important one, a
big Issue, your honor, and I am cer
tain that a great many people will
like to be heard. I believe the de
velopment of Swan island is a step
toward improved shipping facilities
for Portland."
MEDFORD POLITICS WARM
Jjowdcn, Wood and Poindexter
Organizers Busy.
MEDFORD. Or., March 26. (Spe
cial.) Politics are beginning to warm
up in Medford. Following the visit
here recently of George D. Orputt of
Portland, in the interests of Governor
Lowden's candidacy and efforts to
form a club here, came Walter L.
Tooze Sr. oT Salem, the General
Leonard Wood club organizer, who
will organize a club which he claims
will not have less than 100 members,
and with which the Women's Leonard
Wood Republican club organized here
several months ago will be amalga
mated. J. C Herbsroan of Seattle, an ardent
booster for Senator Poindexter for
president, arrived here yesterday to
do propaganda work. He announces
that an organization for Poindexter
will soon be formed in the state.
The republican sentiment in Med
ford and vicinity seems to be divided
