Representatives of all the largest mines in the state were in conference here all a!ternoon, but an nounced they had been unable to rtach an agreement by which the de mands of the miners could be met. The miners asked that the increased wage scale be made retroactive to August 16.

The op erators have offered to make the in crease retroactive to September 10.

Commissioner Barbur Vorking on Plan to Simplify and Facilitate Financing of City Jobs. . A radical change in the manner of levying .assessments for public im provements installed by the city of Portland will be proposed if a charter amendment being drafted at the re quest fo City Commissioner Barbur is referred to the voters at the November election. Commissioner Barbur is anxious to work out a plan whereby the assess ment of costs for public improvements may be levied when contracts are let by the city council. If such a plan is formulated, the council would be in a position to pay contractors certain portions of contract prices as work progresses, whereas under present charter provisions contractors must await completion of the work, the levying of assessments as well as the entry of such assessments on. the city dockets, before collection from the city is possible. L-nder the present system, Commis stoner Barbur maintains, the con tractors must finance the work, which adds to the cost of improvements. In the case of contracts which amount to $200,000 or $300,000, like the Penin sula sewer system, the excess cost is large. Should Commissioner Barbur's plan be adopted, assessment for public im provements would be made at the time contracts are let and at the comple tion of the work a refund would be necessary if the project were com pleted at a cost less than the bid or an additional - assessment would be re quired, if the cost exceeded the esti mate.
