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.

AUTO GOES OVER CLIFF Two Injured When Steering Gear Fails to AVork: 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 Owl Drug Co. Adv. 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. CHANNEL DREDGING IS URGED Tacoma Body to Appeal Erom De cision of 17. S. Engineers.
