THE 3IORXIXG OKEGOXIAX, TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1920
NO CASH AVAILABLE
FOR CONTRACT JOBS
Contractors Are Notified City
Cannot Redeem Warrants.
BOND SALES IMPOSSIBLE
Charter Provision Forbidding Se
curity Transactions Below Par
.Works Serious Hardship.
Contractors who have obtained con
tracts for city improvements will be
notified immediately that for munic
ipal bonds there is no sale at present,
and therefore the city will not be in
a position to redeem warrants issued
to them upon completion of work as
is customary.
" Decision to issue this warning was
reached .by the city commissioners
yesterday following a conference with
members of the Portland Clearing
House association. Bankers, although
eager to co-operate with, are in no
position to aid the city, it was ex
plained. Hardest hit by the failure of the
city to sell its bonds for par, as re
quired by the city charter, is the
municipal paving plant, under the di
rection of City Commissioner Barbur.
The municipal plant already has con
tracted for approximately 1 1 ,000.000
worth of improvement work .this
aummer.
Contractor May Take Bond.
Private contractors, if they desire,
may purchase the improvement bonds
as they are offered for sale and dis
pose of them at a discount. The city
is not permitted to .ell the bonds at a
discount, and the municipal paving
plant, operating as a city institution,
under the limitations of the charter,
cannot follow this plan.
Under an opinion issued by City
Attorney LaRoche, the city is per
mitted to use money in the improve
ment bond sinking fund with which
to purchase the new improvement
bonds. As soon as such bonds are
sold however, both the private con
tractors and the city plant will have
opportunity of cashing warrants, but
since the sinking fund now is de
pleted, and will not be replenished for
months, there is no immediate hope
of relief for the city plant along this
line.
City commissioners took the stand,
when the bond market made it impos
sible to market municipal bonds un
der the charter limitations, that all
improvement work should be stopped,
unless contractors cpuld work out a
plan to finance themselves.
Problem May Be Solved.
As mat Hers now etand, it is believed
that the contractors in most instances
will be able to work out plans for
financing their work by disposing of
city warrants at par, using the re
ceipts thereof for the purchase of
municipal bonds, disposing of such
bonds at a discount, similar to that
at which warrants usually are sold.
City Commissioner Barbur refused
last night to discuss the situation, al
though he admitted that it was a
serious one, particularly to the
future of the municipal paving plant,
as far as it related to competitive
work in Portland.
Mayor Baker also declined to dis
cuss the bond situation beyond saying
that all contractors would be notified
Immediately that inability to sell the
city bonds would mean that no money
would be awaiting them at the com
pletion of their contracts. ,
bration of the Associated British f
suuienea oi roruana, xieia e v cu
ing at the Masonic temple auditorium,
before 400 enthusiastic British-American
citizens. Dr. Pence excelled
himself last evening as his liberally
applauded address testified.
: At the close of his talk, he recalled
the Spanish-American war and the
attitude of Admiral Chichester of the
British navy when approached by
Dietrich, the German, as to Chichest
er's opinion on interference by the
German navy with the American
forces. The Britisher's laconic,
'That's something that only Dewey
and. I krfow," sent the house into un
restrained applause. He titled his
address "Blood is Thicker Than
Water.".
The remainder of the programme
was of exceptional merit. Arthur
Johnson sang the "Road to Manda
lay," in a remarkably clear tenor;
Mrs. Eloise Hall Cook's solo was "The
Iast Rose of Summer;" Walter Stev
enson sang "There's a Land," and
Miss Helen Harper played Scotch airs
on the violin, accompanied by her
sister. Jean, while Jack Carter ap
peared in "Song, Story and Mimicry."
Major J. H. MacDonald opened the
programme with a bagpipe selection.
P. Chappelle Browne, president of
the British Benevolent society, fol
lowed Major MacDonald with a talk
on the purposes of their organization
and of the possibilities for its
spread. "More than 18,000 people of
British descent are living in Portland
and our league has a membership of
300. If we all could get together,
we would-be able to purchase a site
and put-up a good headquarters," he
said. The evening's pleasure was
rounded off with dancing, the music
for which was furnished by "Dr. C.
Eyre Powell's Canadian Veterans
orchestra.

OREGON CITY, Or., May 24. (Spe
cial.) A motoring party composed of
Mr. and Mrs, B. G. Johnson of Wil
lamette, Elmer Johnson, William Mc-
Larty, Mathew McLarty of Bolton and
oe Nixon, while on their way from
Willamette to Bolton (Sunday after
noon, went over a cliff of about 40
feet when the steertptr,eTear of their
automobile failed to work as they
were roirndins a curve on the West
Linn hill.
E. G. Johnson, who is an expert
enced driver, and at the wheel, was
driving his machine at a moderate
speed when the accident occurred.
As a result of the accident, Mrs.
Johnson is in the Oregon City hos
pital suffering from two broken ribs
and lacerations of the face, and
William McLarty is also at the insti
tution suffering from injuries to the
back. The other m-ambers of the
party received minor bruises.
"I just want to say to any person.
man or woman, with etomach trouble,
they can't have it any worse than I
did and if they want to get well, take
Tanlac, for it certainly has done the
work for me," said Holland N. Bold
ing, 842 West Sixty-eighth street, Loe
Angeles, Cal., a motorman on the Los
Angeles City Railway.
"When I began taking Tanlac I had
fallen off until I , only ' weighed 155
pounas, wnicn is away below my
usual weight but in a short while I
commenced gaining weight so fast I
could hardly believe it. Not only this,
but there has been such an improve
ment in my condition the men down
at the car barns want to know what
I have been taking to bring me out eo
and I am always glad to tell them
it's Tanlac. For five years I was in
just about as bad a fix from stomach
trouble as anybody ever gets to be
and keep going. 1 had a poor appe
tite. and after every meal my food
soured, l would bloat up with ga
until I could hardly get my breath
and have a terrible hurting in my
chest. 1 was badly constipated, had
awful dizzy spells and felt tired an
drowsy all the .time. I could neve
get a good night's sleep, and alway
got up feeling simply horrible. I
fact, my whole system seemed out o
order. I had no energy, and just felt
miserable a the time.
"My mother had been taking Tanlac
with such good results she urged m
to try it. However, I had tried so
many things without getting any re
lief I had almost come to the conclu
Eion nothing would help me, and took
it more to please her than anything
else; but 1 had taken it only a short
while when I began to get better. .As
I kept taking it I kept getting better,
until now I am a well man in every
respect, tip the scales at 200 pounds,
and don't remember ever feeling bet
ter in my life. I do not have to tell
those who knew what a bad fix I was
in or what Tanlac has done for me,
for they can see for themselves; but
I am glad to give this statement so
that everybody may have the benefit
of my experience."
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the

The steamer Heigho, a steel ship
ping board vessel now at San Fran
cisco, will come here June 15 to load
a full cargo of flour for the United
States food administration, it was an
nounced yesterday by C. D. Kennedy,
district agent of the operations divi
sion of the emergency fleet corpora
tion. The Heigho has been in the
oriental service of the Robert Dollar
company, and is the second vessel to
be plucked from the trans-Pacific
trade for flour-loading at Portland.
On his return from the foreign
trade convention at San Francisco,
C. I. Kennedy, prophesied that ample
tonnage would be available to handle
the wheat and flour movement out
of the Columbia river and remarked
at that time that a number of vessels
might be withdrawn from the trans
Pacific trade for this service. Re
turn cargoes from the Orient to all
Pacific torts have been extremely
light for several months, and. accord
ing to Mr. Kennedy, the greatest press
ot out-bound business has been taken
care of, so that vessels can be re
leased for other work.
The first vessel to be diverted
from the trans-Pacific trade for flour
loading here is the steamer Kayseeka,
withdrawn from the Seattle-Oriental
service of Thorndyke, Trenholme &
Co., to load flour here for the Port
land Flouring Mills company on pri
vate .account. The Kayseeka arrived
Sunday and started loading yesterday
at the Portland Flouring Mills plant.
