Some of tbe ordinances provide that ft eh all be so much per car; others that It shall be so much per mile of track and others that It hall be a flat amount which In some ordinances Is adjusted to a scale far dif ferent periods of time covered by the franchise Some of these ordinance, desig nate the amount to be paid to the city as a license and others designate It as a compensation for use of the streets. The provision for 25 cents for each car load of earth, etc.. may be eliminated or modified by amending this portion of the license ordinance. A changing, however, of the license -fees prescribed by each fran chise erdinance calls for an amendment of each franchise or the enactment of general ordinance which will have the ef fect of amending each franchise ordinance.

Mayfair and Alexander streets, which the Sal vation Army has taken over for its rescue and maternity work, was dedi cated yesterday. The services, which included a flag-raising and the for mal presentation of the home to the Salvation Army by Mayor Baker, chairman of the state advisory board, were held on the lawn and were fol lowed by an inspection of the home, now open to visitors. A scriptural selection and invoca tion, delivered by Colonel S. I Bren xlc. and a sacred solo by Walter Jenkins opened the services. Mayor Baker, in presenting the home to the Salvation Army, said: "For years in fact, since childhood I have watched the Salvation Army. - I have observed their workers on the streets at night, with their tambourines and their gos Tel hymns; In the slums, in the aloons that used to be. enduring- the ridicule and abuse of those who mis understood their motives, and in spite of it all working- on unselfishly in .the hope of reaching- men and wom en who were down and out. And yet I never truly appreciated the great prood that they were doing- until the war brought it so forcibly to every one's attention. Big. Opportunity Found. "For that great struggle over there ftave the Salvation Army its big op portunity for international recogni tion; and as we all know, it became to the boys in the service the one Ids outstanding- organization for Kood of all the battlefronts of France and Belgium. 'The success of a home like this and the great good that it .will do for the city of Portland will be due to the unselfish work of those connected with its direct management. It is a labor of love, without compensation, other than the great and wonderful satisfaction of helping others." At the conclusion of Mayor Baker's ad dress. Colonel T. W. Scott accepted the home on behalf of the Salvation Army. . Mrs. Colonel Mary Sttllwell,' who began the work of the Army here more than 33 years ago and who, for the last 15 years has been general secretary in the work for women and children throughout the west, made the dedicatory address: and Major Sophia Harris, who is in charge of the home, gave something of its his tory and work. Senator Gus Moser paid a tribute to the Stars and Stripes which preceded the raising of the flag by the nurses of the home. Home Is Revelation. The home Itself is a revelation to anyone interested in the work of the Salvation Army. Its beautiful lawn, trees, porches and its general atmo sphere of quiet and peace are prob ably invaluable In aiding the army to carry on its work of reconstruc tion for unfortunate young motherB The lower floor comprises sun par lors, sewing rooms, reading rooms, dining- rooms and kitchens, and on the upper floors are the wards, surgi cal rooms, nurseries and baths, fully and Immaculately equipped with ev ery modern convenience. A white enamel cabinet of surgical Instruments, just installed in the main Burgery, was the gift of some of the girls-- who have been cared for by the army in the past. The home affords accommodations for 50 girls and 35 babies. There are now 22 lit tle tots being cared for, each in a white Iron crib of Its own. The home will be open especially to women to day, and tomorrow to men. B1GMI5T PIEH05 GUILTY HESITATION AT WEDDIXG IS MAX'S VXD OIX G. " Suspicion Aroused in. Minds of Of ficiating Dnlstcr and Girl's 1 Father Leads to Investigation. "Vfith the admission that , he was a xiusband and father when he married 20-year-old Bernice Tolly last May, J. K. McCleary yesterday entered a jvlea of guilty to an Indictment for bigamy. He will be sentenced by Presiding, Judge McCourt Friday aft ernoon at 2 o'clock. McCleary married Ida E.

Directly after his parole, before he fcad paid a cent of money to his wife, McCleary took out a marriage license under the name of "J. M. Clary" to marry Miss Tolly, daughter of Frank Tolly. 419 Webster street. At the wedding ceremony his hesitancy when his name was pronounced aroused suspicion In the mind of the minister and the girl's father, leading to an investigation which caused the bride to be taken to her father's house and the bridegroom warned off the premises. The indictment for bipramy fol lowed. McCleary has a fairly long criminal record. He was sentenced to from 2 to 20 years for forgery Jn June. 1914, was paroled in Decem ber. 1915, was returned to prison for the -theft or. some jewelry in April, 1916. and was paroled again In Feb xuary, 1917. .

Heretofore the Merchants association has kept up the grounds. The ordinance passed last nipht proposes that $500 be appropriated at once to start the work. Body Appointed by Mayor Expected to Formulate Recommenda tions This Afternoon. Recommendations of the' special councilmanic committee, appointed by Mayor Baker to study the recommen dations of the public service coramis- on for the granting of relief to the car riders of Portland, by removing certain so-called unjust burdens from the Portland Railway, Light & Pover Co.. probably will be formulated at meeting of the committee thie afternoon. At this time, the committee is ex pected to decide what proposals. If ny, will be submitted to the voters at the special election suggested to be held in conjunction with the state primaries May 21. Relief Believed I'onalbte. Voters of the city of Portland and members of the city council can legally remove paving' costs, paving maintenance costs, franchise and li cense fees', as well as remove the necessity of the traction company carrying city employes without charge, providing such charges are louna to De unjust, unfair or prove to work to the general disadvantage of the public, according to an opinion filed yesterday with the committee by I. E. L-atourette and Harry M. Tomlinson, deputies in the city attor neys ottice. This opinion Is supplemental to an other opinion filed several days ago by City Attorney LaRoche, an opinion which members of the committee de clared to be too hazy to shed neces sary legal light on the subject under discussion. The latest opinion sustains City Attorney Lartoche in the contention that the city would violate the state constitution if the city's credit was loaned to the street-car company or if money was raised for the use of the traction company. The opinion filed by Attorneys La tourette and Tomlinson Is as follows: Keplvtnr to your verbal request that we mat more fully than was done in our communtcation of April 7. the circum stances under which the Portland Rallwav I-iffht Jfc Power fcompiV may be relieved from future street improvements, free car- riURu of city employes and franchise and license taxes, and the proper manner of proviain? surn relief, u beg- to advise: City Loss Forbidden. A fa tit which must be constantly kept in mind is that the slate constitution pro hibits the city from raising- money for or loaning its credit to or in aid of any such comijany. The crcum stance that the granting" of aid tt such company la in tendeo and will hare the effect to aid the tar riders or to aid the community in irenerai, does not prevent th aid from being in violation of the constitution. The aid granted to the railroad company In the Rose burg cafe (Hunter vs. Rose burs. t) Or.. was for the purpose of obtain intf for the city the general benefits which would result from the construction anrf operation of the railroad which Would supply a needed public want and there by result In a general benefit to the city, yet the aid was declared to be In viola tion of the constitution. The same con clusion has been reached in many deci sions In other states. The const 1 tut ion, however, does not. In our judgment, prevent the city tfrom cor recting charges or imposts which h been placed upon such company by means of franchise arrangements but have been subsequently discovered to be unfair and unjusrt and to result In tome appreciable degree in increasing the tariffs charged upon the car patrons or in preventing the company from rendering adequate trans portation service. If the results of an Investigation should show that the present practice of charging against the company all of the cost of street improvement and repairs between the rails, between the tracks and for one foot outside of the rails, results In cast Ing upon the company a larger portion of such cost than is fair or just and that this results in levying an indirect tax upon the cur patrons, then It would be competent for the city to make such ad justment of the matter as would caube the company to pay only Its fair and just portion of such cost, and any reduction so made should be taken into consideration in fixing the amount of tariff which the company may chariee upon its patrons. II also an investigation should disclose that the franchise or license taxes which are Imposed upon the company result in ati increase of the rates charged to the car riders so that in the and the taxes are paid by the car riders, then it would be competent for the city to readjust this matter so as to remove from the car riders this indirect tax by removing the fran chise or license tax from the company. FWe Carriage Provided. The matter of free ctfrrlage of city em ployea Is in the same category with the franchise and license taxes. In fact, tbe free carriage of certain city employes is made a part of the compensation to be paid for the use of the streets. Only one franchise, insofar as we have been able to discover, provides- for such free trans portation. This ia the franchise granted by ordinance No. which pro Ided that free transportation shall be given to police officers when wearing a police man's star and to firemen when in fire men's uniform. This only applies to the streets covered by this particular fran chine but it seems to have become the practice to apply this provision to all of the street upon which the company oper ates cars. A removal of any portion of the above imposts may result In aiding or relieving the company or its patrons, but the con stitution was not intended to prevent i city from correcting franchise or contrac tual stipulations which are discovered to be unfair. - unjust and to work to the public disadvantage rather than to the public advantage. We are. therefore, of the opinion that it will be competent for the committee or the council to make i thorough investigation of t he matters re f erred to end if it be found that the present paving requirements place against the company a larger amount of charge than is reasonable or just, the city may provide for a readjustment so as to re move trie unjust and unreasonable Por tinn. The same is true of the bridge tolls, the license taxes and free carriage of city employes. This brings us to a consideration of the question; "How may such change b made?" The present city charter containa pro visions which cast upon all. companies, who obtain franchise or rljrht to use the street area for car tracks, the burden of paving and keeping In repair the portion of the street area occupied by the tracks, viz., -4 he portion between the rails and for one foot outside the rails and the portion between the tracks where two tracks exist upon a street. If it be found that this matter should be changed a charter amendment will be, required, a well as an amendment of the franchises. The free carriage of firemen and police men Is not provided for by charter and we do not find that it Is provided for In any of the franchises except in the fran chise known as ordinance No. 2UH8. A modification may be effected by amending the ordinance. Amendment Held Xeceafcary. " I The matter of franchise or license taxea requires some explanation. Article XXIX, 1 of Ordinance No. 34046. which is the gen eral license ordinance, requires that street car companies shall pay to the treasurer the amount of the license fixed by the respective franchise ordlna nets. This or dinance provides in addition that a license for tranporting earth, sand, gravel, stone, i rock, timber or wood for hire shall be paid 23 cents for each car load. The char ter does not fix the amount of license or franchise taxes but requires that th amount shall be ascertained and fixed in the franchise ordinance. Each of the sev eral franchises has fixed a tic ease or fran- SHRINE GETS S5Q0 CHECK ASHLAND TEMPLE - CONTRIB UTES TO CONVENTION.
