Mt. Scott, Woodmere and I other districts Jammed into the coun-I cil chambers to hear their chosen spokesman argue the measure. De spite the large number that visited the city hall, only five men addressed the council on the matter. Applause from j the multitude was plentiful as the I champions advanced their views. The chief bone of contention was j the matter of the proposed pavement ; on Foster road, from East Fifty-sec- j ond street to East Seventy-second I street. The board ol county commis sioners has appropriated JS5.000 to lay an 18-foot strip of pavement along Foster road for that length. The city engineer's office has ex pressed itself as being opposed to the laying of the pavemtnt until the proper drainage facilities are pro vided by the trunk sewer. $praker Oppose Sewer, Speakers representing property owners of the outlying districts stat ed that they were even willing to sur render the possibilities of the pave ment to escape paying the sewer as sessments. Representatives of resi dents nearer town, who are already supplied with sewer facilities, in sisted that if It was necessary that the sewer be constructed in order to obtain the pavement, that the sewer project go through. The estimated cost of the sewer system is J4U3.000. It could be used for the drainage proposed for a num ber of years, until another system is constructed leading down Johnson creek to the Willamette river. The case of the owners who object to the laying of the Foster road sewer was best presented by N. G. Hedin. manager of the Wapinitia irrigation project In eastern Oregon, who came o Tortland solely to investigate the matter. I Mayor Baker complimented Hedin I highly for his presentation of the I matter. Pavement Practically Promised. The mayor practically assured the residents that the pavement would be laid on Foster road regardless of the sewer consideration. J. R. Robinson, representing the citizenry of the East Fifty-sixth street and Foster road vicinity, stated that If the road could not be paved without the sewer going in, that the sewer should be constructed. The matter was postponed for two Ii weeks. At the next session on thei'l suDjeci me department of public works will make a presentation of its side of the controversy. The city council is empowered to order the construction of sewers without the sanction of residents of the affected area. BUMS CODE APPROVED CO.ADUTTEE SAYS PORTLAX' l IAAV IS LIBERAL. Report of Chamber of Commerce Investigators Asks for Only Few Minor Changes. Portland's building code received the "okeh" of a special committee of inquiry yesterday, when Jesse A. Currey, cha'rman of the committee, reported to tho directorate of the Portland Chamber of Commerce that building provis'ons and regulations in th's city are more liberal and effect ive than those prevailing in many of the principal cities of the nation. Mr. Currey and his fellow commit teemen were appointed some months ago to make an exhaustive survey of the code and it's application, with the view of beneficial revision. Their report Indicates complete confidence in the existing code, and asks only for minor changes that will clarify certain provisions therein. "Your committee received prac tically no complaints." the report declares, "and those received were largely 01 a personal nature and in some cases the complaints were the result of a desire to circumvent the present building code for personal gain. "In comparing: the Portland build ing code w'th the building codes of other cities, we find that the Port land code in its general terms and conditions is quite aa broad, compre hensive and liberal as any other code. In some respects more liberal and thoroughly workable, tin the opinion of your committee It 's as easy, if not easier, and more economical to build under the Portland code than it is under the code of any city whose code we examined." Among the cities whose build'ng codes were reviewed by the commit tee for comparison with that of Port land were Boston, Detroit, Seattle, l.os Angeles, Cleveland, Philadelphia, San Francisco. Minneapolis, Roches ter, N. Y.. and Baltimore. In conduct ing its inquiry the committee con sulted and received suggestions from the American Institute of Architects, Builders' exchange. Master Builders' association. Office Building Manag ers' association, Portland Cement association. Northwest Contractors' association and many others. The report recommends that the work of such a committee be made a permanent enterprise of the cham ber, thus keeping pace with require ments as they arise. Roads to Be G rare led. AURORA. Or..
