Negotiations for the purchase of creosote in the United States ror shipment to Japan, contingent on sev eral cities deciding to pave streets with wood blocks, have brought up a question of storage for creosote in preparation for shipment in parcel lots, and the commission of public docks will arrange for storage in a fuel oil tank at Terminal No. 4 if Portland is made a gateway for the exports. The matter came up at yesterday morning's meeting of the commission through H. L. Hudson, traffic man ager of the port. Because of prob able contamination, the use of vege table oil tanks was said to be im practicalble. Parcel Lots to Be Shifted. The understanding is that the oil will go forward in parcel lots, regu lar steamers taking it in deep tanks, and that the first lot assembled may be about 2000 tons. The commission decided to permit the Page Investment company to lease a part of its property at East Water street and Hawthorne avenue to the McGregor Steel & Boiler company, with the present structures thereon. Permits for the buildings were given September 10, 1918, during war con struction work, and it is said the character of construction is satisfac tory for . boiler shop purposed. The company is negotiating with a ma chine shop for another lease and the commissioners expressed themselves as willing to consent to the occupancy of the buildings by similar industries. It was decided to call for bids on the installation of electric service connections on pier No. 6, terminal No. 4, so vessels would have lights in the event the'r machinery was shut down while in the berth. The service is to be charged for on a meter basis. Refrigeration la Approved. Needed refrigeration for the' care of foodstuffs in connection . with the cafeteria maintained at the terminal was approved, and proposals will be called for. The cost is estimated at J1000. It was decided not to install brush machines at the grain elevator for cleaning cereals because of pros pective limited use, and the fact the installation would cost close to $6000. In a communication from W. R. Grace & Co. the commission was thanked for special efforts put forth through Captain Speier to facilitate the dispatch of the steamer Santa Cruz in March. As a complaint on fa cilities had been made before by the j same interests, the commendatory letter was well received. Regarding an automobile listed with the police department equipment that has been used by Captain Speier, a demand for its delivery back to the poKce by tomorrow was made by Chief Jenkins, who said the force was short of vehicles. The commission authorized the purchase of a machine to replace it. Fruit Handling Dlacnsaed. Refrigeration storage for orchard and farm products was discussed and the commission will meet with cham ber of commerce representatives and growers in the next few days to take up the situation. The commission adjourned to 11 o'clock a week from today, when bids are to be opened for the construction of a transit sired at a new unit of terminal No. 1, which is under way on property formerly occupied by the Willamette Iron & Steel Works.

This re duction amounts to seven and one-half cents per hundred on less than carload lots and four centa on carload lots. Ves sels of this line have handled a great deal of freight in and out of Tacoma and other sound ports and the reduction means a big saving to shippers, It is said. Fine time is being made by the steamer Pennsylvania of the American-Hawaiian line from New York to Tacoma. The ves sel Is due here tomorrow morning and will go into the Northern Paclfio dock this trip, according to the Baker dock com pany, agents of the vessel.

C. Merrill, director of the shipping: board of research today told the senate commerce and merchant marine committees. In describing- what nature of "direct aid" should be afforded, all methods used by other countries were con sidered he said, and centered on three plans. In the end two of these, the committees were informed, were re jected because -they did not take into consideration speed of ships in addi tion to their size and the distance covered by them. The plan incorporated in the bill, Mr. Merrill' contended, places proper emphasis on all three factors and if put into force, the financial aid of the g-overnment would assure the operation of largre speedy liners as well as afford needed assistance to owners of smaller ships. Mr. Merrill discussed wage and crew subsistence differentials exist -ing between American and British ships and the higher first cost" con struction charges, interest and in surance the American ship owner is farced to bear. Iirect and Indirect aids provided for in the bill pending before the two committees have tlfe effect, he said, of leveling the differentials by plac ing American shipping interests in a position to pay the higher charges without loss in comparison with for eign countries. The committees were told that the statement was all too common, that the Ingenuity of American crews could make up far the difference in operating costs. This to a certain ex tent, Mr. Merrill says, may be true of passenger and passenger cargo ships, but Is a false surmise in the case of tramp steamers. atory to sailing. She loaded at the E. K.

Traffic Bureau to Dlstribxite Cop ies of Guides Issued by United States Engineers. Finding-of a chart of the Columbia river aboard the steamer Portland Maru yesterday that was gotten out in 1916 was cited by the traffic bu reau of the port and dock commis sions as only one of numerous in stances in which masters of vessels making the river did not have access to recent information relative to con ditions. The chart was obtained in Japan and investigations of the port authorities disclose that vessels in foreign ports bound this way often buy obsolete charts. The traffic bureau distributed sev eral hundred of the latest charts last year and the same policy is being followed again. A shipment was re ceived last week of copies of the latest entrance chart issued by the United States engineers. While for eign ships and American vessels bound from off-shore ports, as well as most of the intercoastal fleet, are handled in and out of the river by pilots, it is felt the distribution of charts to vessels coming here as well as those sent to headquarters of shipping concerns in various parts of the world, serves a valuable purpose. The Oregondan publishes practi cally all of the want ads printed in the other three Portland papers, in addition to thousands of exclusive advertisements not printed in any other local paper.
