Councilman Lombard Will Introduce
Kesol u tion Which Wi 1 1 Prob
ably Affect Thoroughfares
North of Washington.
Improvement of the city by districts
Hill b the policy of Mayor Simon's ad
ministration. Patchwork will be discour
aged, and it will be the endeavor to beau
tify all actions by uniform pavements.
The Mayor signified his desire to this
effect yesterday, and Councilman Lom
bard announced that before lonj? he will
Introduce the necessary resolutions to
be(r!n this policy. Perhaps the first one
will include a number of streets north of
"Washington and west of the river.
"I believe in Improving with hard-surface
pavements by districts. If the dis
tricts are not too 1are," said Mayor
Simon, when asked for his opinion on the
best way to do this character of work.
I feel that better results can be obtained
by this method, and will be glad to see
the Council authorize this manner of pav
Jn the city."
"You can say for me that I will Intro
duce some resolutions, creating- district
improvements, before very long." said
Mr. Lombard. "I believe in this mode of
paving, and I am tired of seeing a lot
of patched sections. I honestly believe
that Portland's street work is the poorest
of any city I ever saw; it is done with
out system of any kind, and It ought to
be stopped. I certainly want to see the
city paved, and will devote a lot of time
and attention to this feature of municipal
improvement. I will not confine my
efforts to the West Side, although I want
to introduce a resolution to improve a
district north of Washington and west of
the river as soon as I get a report on it."
Councilman Lombard is an enthusiast
on good hard-surface pavements, and
he has already Introduced a number of
resolutions before the street committee
of the Council to pave certain streets,
notwithstanding the fact that the former
Council was opposed to granting pave
ments by resolution. He asked for a list
of the unimproved streets in the section
north of Washington and west of the
river, and will prepare a resolution, creat
ing a big district there, as soon as this
is received.
The city charter authorizes district im
provements, but as yet the Council haa
proceeded very slowly, simply following
the old policy of paving one street at a
time. This has resulted in a condition
which will never be overcome during the
life of the present pavements In many lo
calities. There are districts where as
phalt, bitulithic, Hassam and stone
blocks may be found, making a badly
mixed appearance, and it Is to avoid Just
such a situation that Mayor Simon and
Councilman Lombard and others desire
to adopt the plan of improving by dis
tricts. When a resolution creating a district la
adopted by the Council, a certain brand
of material for the pavement Is decided
upon, and that material alone can be laid
in the district. This assures a uniform
appcararce and a beautiful piece of ter
ritory, without any unpaved Ftreets In it.
If the administration proceeds to lay
hard-surface pavement by districts, it will
create a large amount of activity in this
line of business, and it Is believed that,
with the increased work, the paving com
panies will be compelled to reduce rates.
The property-owners will thus benefit
greatly in dollars and cents, as well as in
increased beauty of appearance and con
tinuous improvement of the throughfarea.
