Interstices, and a layer of sand was a ri thA rA Andther coatlnff of oil was then applied, and a top dress ing of nearly two inches of sand was added, and the roller applied again. It is believed the street will shed water in Winter and will be without dust In the Bummer, thus making It an Ideal pave ment for residence districts.

Mlnto reports that the sale of stamps at the Portland post office for the month of July shows an Increase of $.09 per cent over the re ceipts from the same source for the corresponding month a year ago. Last month stamps were sold at the local office to the amount of $55,121.49, as against $51,953.48 for July, 1907. The total Increase In these receipts wa $3168.01, or more than $100 a day. "Considering that the month" of July ordinarily is a quiet month, by reason of the fact that so many people are away on vacations, the record of stamp sales Is entirely satisfactory," said Postmaster Minto yesterday. "During the months of July and August we nat urally expect a falling off in these re ceipts, but the showing for July merely confirms the fact of an Increasing pop ulation In Portland. As In preceding months, the bulk of this increased busi ness Is reported from the stamp win dow in the main corridor of the build ing, where the sales range from 5 cents to $1." . ROOF GARDEN..

YET HIED POLICK COMMITTEE AND CHIEF STILL DELAY. Rumor Has It That Riley May Be . Chosen Among Three on Eli gible List, No police captain to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Patrick Bruin, over three months ago, has been named by the police committee of the Executive Board, although some action in regard to the matter was expected yesterday. The list of eliglbles for ap pointment to the position were certified to Chief Grttzmacher last Thursday aft ernoon, but Inquiry yesterday afternoon brought forth the statement that nothing had been done and It was not known when any action would be taken. - ' It was rumored around the City Hall yesterday that Harry Riley would be the man chosen. He is one of three men whose names were certified as being eligible, and it Is said the rumor arose out of the fact that Chief Grltzmacher and the members of the police commit tee were more friendly toward Patrolman Riley than either Patrolman Circle or Mallet, the other two eliglbles. The delay of the police committee and Chief Grltzmacher In . making the ap pointment is severely criticised. It Is current gossip that they do not desire to appoint a captain to CU the vacancy, since Sergeant Baty, a favorite, failed to be one of the three men whose names were certified for appointment. The com mittee neglected to ask for an eligible list for nearly two months, although they were notified that such a list had been prepared by the Civil Service Commis sion. The committee then attempted to lay the blame upon the Civil Service Com mission, and a report to this effect was adopted by the City Executive Board and sent to the Commission, with the re sult that the Commission took the report as an official notification that a vacancy in the position of captain existed and directed the secretary to certify the three eliglbles for appointment to the Chief of Police. The CivH Service Commission severely criticised the action of the members of the police committee, saying tnat they were only attempting to sidestep the Is sue. The long report of the police com mittee, which was adopted by the Ex ecutive Board, in regard to the matter, was looked upon by the Civil Service Commission as somewhat of a bluff, but the latter determined to get action from the police authorities if possible. It was predicted at the meeting of the Civil Service Commission Thursday that no appointment would be made, and the present delay bears out this predic tion.
