AUGUST 6. 1020 I CONTRACT LET FDR City to Pay Contractors $25, 020 for Mile Stretch. 40 DAYS IS TIME LIMIT Extensive Educational Campaign ' Planned to Acquaint Public With Terminal. A contract for construction of the j roadbed for the municipal street car line which is to connect municipal j terminal No. 4 with the St. Johns line of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company was awarded yes terday by the commission of public docks to Nelson & Brown, contractors.: According to the terms of the con tract, the roadbed is to be completed within 40 days. Only two bids were submitted. Nel son & Brown offering to do the work for $35,020. and Lundetrom & Carl son asking $30,825.10. The latter firm , also declined to guarantee the com pletion of the roadbed in 40 days becaise of alleged difficulty in ob taining crushed rock. The award of the contract was made subject to approval by the city attorney and the engineer of the dock commission. A communication frorft the Oregon public service commission read yes terday stated that this commission will not require the Portland Rail way, Light & Power company to op erate the municipally constructed street car line after its completion, but recommended that arrangements be made with the street railway company to operate the line for the dock commission at actual cost. A contract is in preparation for erection of trolley wires and all over head work by the car company. Im portant matters in regard to the op eration of the municipal line are the terms of the contract with the P. R., L. & P. company and the size of fares to be charged on the line. BlS Campaign Planned. An extensive educational campaign and entertainment programme was decided upon by the dock commission yesterday for the purpose of making Portlanders familiar with what they possess at the new municipal, ter minal. While traffic missionaries are being maintained to extol the virtues of the new mammoth terminal in the far east and the Atlantic coast, it was felt that a little of the same kind of missionary work might profitably be done at home. Accordingly, one civic club and business men's organization after another, not omitting the women's clubs, will be invited to inspect the terminal and possibly to have lunch there until all such civic bodies have observed the facilities provided for the handling of Portland's foreign trade. The first invitation Is to be extended to the Portland Chamber of Commerce. Arrangements for a visit to terminal No. 4 already have been made by the Ad club and by the committees in charge of activities here during buy ers week and the convention of the American Society of Civil Kngineers. Members of the dock commission agreed yesterday to devote the aft ernoon of August 12 to the entertain ment of the visiting engineers at the terminal. Commissioner F. C. Knapp was made chairman of a special commit tee to have charge of showing the municipal terminal to its owners and to visitors. CommlNNion to Co-operate. The dock commission will co operate with the port commission and the Chamber of Commerce in entertaining members of the Seattle port commission, who will visit this c ity and Astoria August 19, 20 and 21. A communication from the Seattle port commission, advising of the forthcoming visit, was read at yes terday's meeting of the dock commis sion, A high compliment to municipal terminal No. 4 and to G. B. Hegardt, the engineer who designed it. was paid by George L. Logan. United States consul at Penang. Straits Set tlements, it was narrated yesterday by t . C Knapp. Mr. Knapp reported that Mr. Logan had remarked to him: "I do not know what engineer de signed this terminal for you, but it is my opinion that he is one of the best in the country. This terminal Is the most complete and modern that I have seen anywhere." DAKIXG BID IS OFFERED Ilanlon Agrees to Build First 2 0 0- Ton Ship In 120 Days. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 5. (Spe cial.) Daniel Hanlon, president of the Hanlon Drydock & Shipbuilding company of Oakland, Cal., has start led San Francisco bay by a daring: bid for the construction of the three 2000 ton steel steamships for Atlantic coast Interests, according to advices re ceived from the Golden Gate district. He guarantees to deliver the first of the vessels December 1, although he has not a single ton of material in his yard. This means that he will have to -buy and assemble his steel and other materials and equipment and build the first vessel, all in 130 days. He agrees to make the same peed on the other ships. So sure is Mr. Hanlon that he can make good on his guarantee that he offers to pay a forfeit of $1750 for each day over the specified limit. "I'm not taking the slightest chance." said Sir. Hanlon. "I'll com plete these contracts on time if I get them. You see, I now have almost the entire active personnel of the old cKinner os May organlxation of Se attle." This is regarded by the Seattle wa ter front as the finest tribute ever paid to the corps of superintendents, foremen and assistant foremen who formed the Skinner & Eddy organiza tion. in the last two or three months Mr. Hanlon has been spending much of his time adding Skinner & Kddy men to his forces. v ' SHIPPING SHOWS INCREASE July Foreign Commerce 50 Per Cent Uigher Than Year Ago. ABERDEEN", Wash., Aug. 5. (Spe cial.) A 50 per cent increase over July, 1919. was registered last month by the foreign shipping of Grays Harbor, according to figures from the Grays Harbor Stevedore company.

PARK SITE OF EIGHTY ACRES UNDER ST. PETER'S DOME OFFERED AS GIFT TO MULTNOMAH ' WHEAT RATE REDUCED NEW SCHEDtHE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1. Chartering to Increase as Result of Drop, It Is Thought Steam er Indus Loads. The shipping board rate on wheat and flour from the Pacific coast to Europe has been reduced from $28 to $20 per ton, according to advices re ceived from San Francisco yesterday by E. w. Crichton, district agent of the operations division of the shipping board. The same information was contained in private advices . to op erators of shipping board tonnage. The new rate is to become effective September 1 and is to be quoted until the end of the calendar year. This reduction in rates has been an ticipated by grain exporters' here for some time in view of the fact that vessels of foreign registry were avail able for charter at about $8 per ton ess than shipping board vessels. It was conceded by ship operators that this action on the part of the shipping board indicates a determi nation to compete with foreign ves sels at whatever rate they may name, and that any consistent rate cutting by operators of foreign tonnage will be followed by similiar action on the part of the shipping board. It is expected that the reduction in rates will have a tendency to in crease chartering. As yet no charters for the movement of new crop grain have been announced here, and the feeling has prevailed that exporters were merely awaiting a reduction in the export rate before booking vessels for the movement of the 1920-21 crop. The Swedish steamer Indus, now loading in the local harbor for the Pacific Grain company, and the Brit ish steamers. Mount Etna and -Trel- Issick, chartered for August loading by Kerr, Gifford & Co., are all under stood to have been fixed at a rate, about equal to the new shipping board rate.
