will not only bankrupt, but will de- I
populate the districts affected, in the
opinion ei the oppinents of the meas- j
ure. who swarmed into city "ouncil ,
chamber yesterday to lay their views f
before the commissioners. ,
Store than two hundred residents of :
the Lents. 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.

he has been a longshoreman for more
than 20 years, that serious Injuries
received in his occupation In 1920

take a position as a foreman. His
first Job was with the Oregon Steve
doring company at $300 a month, he
asserted. On August 7, 1920, he de
clared his employers were notified
by the union that no more help would
be furnished the company by union
men if Schroeder was employed as
foreman.
Since his discharge there. Schroeder
asserts that tie has been unable to
obtain other employment because of
the threats made by the union against
prospective employers. He is not
well enough to go back to his old
occupation and his financial condition
has become such that he has been
threatened with arrest for non-support,
he says.
