NAMES OF GERMUIS
Basement Clearance Sale Now in Progress Extraordinary Bargains iri All Departments
BARRED
BY COUNCIL
Commissioners Flatly Rule
Against Street Changes.
PETITION IS THROWN OUT
Keprcsentatives From Patriotic
Organizations Not Required to
Protest Restoration.
A score or representatives of
patriotic organizations. including
Madame Fifl, the famed French
dancer, had no opportunity to voice
their protests against the effort to
return names of German origin to
streets in southeastern Portland. The
council refused to make the change,
and held that there was no good to
be derived from arguing the ques
tion. At the time the question, -which, in
cidentally, aroused the ire of mem
bers of many organizations, came up,
a. delegation of American Legion
representatives, acting as escort to
Madame Fifl, was in the council ante
room awaiting an opportunity to ap
pear before the council.
LrclonnaJrr Present In Body.
Word came to them that the ques
tion was up for consideration and the
entire delegation. Including the
masked dancer, flowed into the coun
cil chambers.
Charles B. Becker, representing the
6 petitioners seeking the change of
street names, eald that the persons
whose names were affixed to the
petition had all shown the highest
type of patriotism durirxc the war,
many of them sending their sons into
tattle for the United States.
He pointed out that there had been
110 protest when the names were
given to the streets at the time the
district was platted, and he could not
understand why there should be any
particular objection to the return of
the names.
Old Name Mean Nothing.
"What benefit would it be?" sought
Mayor Baker.
"Well, they were all right then,
why not now?" retorted Mr. Becker.
"There is nothing to be gained,"
aid the mayor. "The old names mean
nothing, but the new ones do. To
change these names back to those
of German origin would be to keep
the fires of hatred burning. We want
to get away from that feeling. There
isn't a man on this council who would
vote for a change In the names, but
just to show the sentiment on thisj
subject, let some of the persons who
have gathered here epeak on this
petition for a moment."
Several representatives of patriotic
organizations rose to epeak, at the
mayor's invitation.
DIxcusMlon Is Cat Off.
Before they could launch a discus
slon of the petition, Commissioner
Barbur held that the council did not
want to make any change and that
he couldn't see what good argument
against changing the names would do.
Commissioner Bigelow moved that
the petition be denied. Commissioner
Barbur seconded the motion and by
unanimous vote of the council the
motion was adopted.
