THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND,. DECEMBER 12, 1909.
PAVING POLIGY OF
MY
INDORSED
Many Miles of Hard-Surface
Streets Projected for -East
Side. '
'AtENTH WARD IS ACTIVE
Itcsldenta Across Hirer Rejoice in
Plan of Putting in Best .Class
of Improvements Cost
,to Be $a,500,000.
There is freneral indorsement of the
attitude of Mayor Simon toward laying-hard-urfaee
improvement from all
portions of the East Side, and the
coming year will witness the installa
tion of many miles of that class of
pavements. In the tenth ward during
the last week several miles of pave
ments were projected to be laid next
year, partly in the residence district.
Councilman Ellis addressed several
meetings of citizens of the tenth ward,
with the result that petitions are be
ing circulated along many streets. The
most important improvement projected
1s on Killingsworth avenue, from Union
avenue eastward to the city limits, or at
least to East Forty-third street. This
utreet extends through a purely resi
dence section, but according to the.
temper of the people they do not favor
a cheap pavement, even though the bet
ter costs much more at the start. The
cost of the Killingsworth avenue pave
ment will be about $150,000. The property-owners
are just now investigating
the different kinds of pavements.
Parallel with Killingsworth avenue
Is Alberta street, which is to be im
proved with hard surface next year.
This Is mainly a residence street. It
will be paved between union avenue
nnd East Thirty-first, a distance of
23 blocks, at a cost of about $75,000.
As there are double car tracks on this
street, the cost will not be heavy. Sum
ner street also "Is to be paved between
Tnlon avenue and East Fourteenth
street.
Mississippi avenue will be paved be
tween Goldsmith aifti Prescott streets.
Proceedings for this pavement are un
der way between Goldsmith and Fre
mont streets, and Councilman Ellis will
start proceedings for the pavement be
tween Fremont and Prescott streets.
At Prescott the grade of the street is
to be lowered.
These are the main improvements
projected in the tenth ward, outside of
Pose City Park district, where Rose
City Park Drive will be paved from
East'-Twenty-eighth street to the city
limits, and 28 miles of other streets
have been thrown into a. hard-surface
district. Part of this territory is in
the ninth and part In the tenth ward.
In the fine district of Holladay-Irv-ington
improvements with hard surface
are going forward. Multnomah street
between Union avenue and East Fif
teenth street will be paved as soon as
the streetcar company can relay its
tracks with heavy rails. It is proposed
to extend the improvement of Broad
way from East Twenty-fourth east
to East Thirty-seventh street. East
Eleventh and East Thirteenth streets
will be paved between Knott and Bra
zee streets, at a cost of $12,000. East
Eighth street will be paved for the
same distance, at a cost of $5147.
Schuyler street will be paved between
East Sixth and East Fifteenth streets
at a cost of $25,334. East Tenth street
will be paved between Knott and Bra
eee streets, at a cost of $6065. Han
cock street will be paved between East
Twenty-seventh ad East Thirty-seventh
streets at a cost of $24,241. The
Broadway pavement has been com
pleted and accepted between Union
avenue and East Twenty-fourth streets
&t a cost of $63,370, and Wasco street
between Grand avenue and East Fif
teenth Btreet at a cost of $24,006.
Improvements1 projected for next year
in the Ninth Ward run up in cost in five
figures." In the Eighth Ward hard surface
Is to be laid on East Twelfth between Hol
laday avenue and East Burnside street,
while In Leiurelhurst Addition all the
streets are to be paved next year. Bast
Morrison street is being paved between
East Thirty-second and East Thirty
ninth streets, and Belmont between East
Thirty-seventh and East Thirty-ninth
streets. Several short pavements . are
projected in the Hawthorne Park Addi
tion. East Thirty-ninth street is being
paved between East Stark street and
Hawthorne avenue and East Yamhill
ftreet will be paved between East Thirty
second and East Thirty-ninth streets.
In the Seventh Ward, outside of LaM
Addition and Hawthorne avenue, no hard
surface improvements have yet been
made. The Improvement of Hawthorne
avenue is being completed between East
Third and East Forty-first streets. Pro
visions have been made to extend this im
provement to East Fifty-fifth street next
year, and possibly on to East Sixtieth
street. The projected pavements for 1910
1n the Seventh Ward are Division street
between East Twelfth street and the' city
limit?, for which the contract has been
let: Grand avenue between East Clay
and Ellsworth streets. Mllwaukie be
tween Division and Holgate streets; Fran
cis1 avenue from East Thirty -first to Ivan
lioe. East Thirty-second and East Thirty
fourth through Kenilworth between
Francis avenue and Holgate street. In
' the Waverly-Richmond district ami
Waverleigh Addition all streets are to be
made hard surface next year.
It may be seen that the improvement
programme for 1910 in street pavements
is a large one. and that the projected
hard-surface improvements in the four
East Side .wards will foot up more than
S2.500.000 anjd the interesting feature of
this programme is that it does not include
much territory in the business sections of
either Alblna or East Portland, but that
practically all these first-class pavements
re projected for the residence sections.
In Central East Portland it is proposed
to pave East . Washington street between
Grand avenu and. East Water street, and
East Water between East Washington
end East Morrison streets, and East Mor
rison between Water street and Union
avenue. On Grand and Union avenues
acroes ne tills there are as yet no pave
ments, although the embankments have
settled sufficiently to stand hard sur
face. On Grand avenue between the
south line of East' Stark and .East Pine
streets there is a mud street. On Union
avenue the same condition exists between
East Stark and East Morrison streets.
On the whole the people are accepting
the policy of the Mayor about laying
hard-surface pavements, and are begin
ning to see that while the cost 'is more at
the start it is really less expensive in the
end. The cost when first presented to
the owner of a little home seems appal
ling, tout when he considers that gravel
and macadam are but temporary, lasting
only three or four years, he can see that
the hard-surface pavement Is really less
expensive than the cheaper. This view is
accented in the light of the added value to
jtha adjacent property.

MAG KAY.. TO BUILD
Site of Old Baker Theater to
Possess Class A Block.
SIX-STORY PLANS MADE
At Expiration ot Present Iease Fine
Structure AVI11 Be Erected Ad
joining Site to Be Im
proved, Too.
Removal of the Baker Theater to the
new location at Third and Main streets
will mean the erection of a fine fire
proof structure on the present site of
the showhouse, at the southeast cor
ner of Third and Yamhill streets. Don
ald Mackay, of the North Pacific Lum
ber Company, who owns the building,
plans to improve the corner with a
class A building as soon as the present
lease on the property expires. There
is a possibility that the Improvements
may be begun even before the expira
tion of the lease.
George iLi. Baker holds a lease on the
'property until November 1, 1911. The
recent ordinance concerning the use of
frame buildings for theater purposes
will go into effect April 1, 1911. There
after the structure will be of no use
to Mr. Baker as a theater. It is pos
sible that he may then relinquish his
lease and allow Mr. Mackay to start
construction at once.
Building to Be Fireproof.
Definite plans for the improvement
of this corner have 'not yet been made,
owing to the long interval which re
mains before the corner,- will be va
cated as a theater site. Mr. Mackay
has decided, however, that his build
ing will be absolutely fireproof and of
the finest possible type, a class A
building. He will build not less than
a six-story structure.
L. Therkelsen, owner of the adjoin
ing 100 by 100 feet on Third street,
also considers removing the present
shacks from the quarter block at Third
and Taylor streets, and substituting
for them a fine modern structure along
the same lines as the building whica
Mr. Mackay will erect. This has not
been decided definitely by Mr. Ther
kelsen. but he is considering the ad
visability of building jointly with Mr.
Mackay.
Theaters Leave Center.
The question of location of theaters
in Portland Is a query, as in many oth
er cities. The old idea that a play
house must be located in the very heart
of the business district seems to be
giving way all over the country, and
In Portland there is no exception. First

to break the traditions here was the
ColumbiaJheater, at the corner of
Fourteenth and Washington streets,
which after various changes of man
agement and name Is now the Portland
Theater. The Heilig management is
building a house to one side of the
beaten path. Baker plans a theater even
farther down, while a gigantic play
house of the finest design has been
announced as planned for the Thomp
son estate property at Fourth and Pine
streets, a location entirely new for
theatrical purposes in Portland. Re
cently rumors that a large theater
would be erected on the East Side were
heard, but authenticity of the report
has been questioned.
IOts Sold at Jennings Lodge.
At Jennings Lodge, the attractive set
tlement on the Oregon City electric rail
way, the National Realty & Trust Com
pany has sold lots to the following peo
ple: T. E. Nelson, two lots; Jesse Nel
son, one lot; William Tuck, three lota;

O. M. Kennedy, three lots; S. M. Goff,
seven lots; E. V. Voos, five lots. Most
of these, purchasers will erect homes on
the lots they nave secured. A number of
homes will be built in . this addition next
year.
SOLDER FOUNDRY READY
PACIFIC METAL COMPANY'S
PLANT IS SUBSTANTIAL.
Warehouse and Factory at Parkland
Everett Built to Handle
Great Weights.
. A factory for the manufacture of solder
and built to handle and store all tin, iron,
copper, lead, zinc, etc., for jobbing pur
poses, has Just been completed at the
northwest corner of Park and Everett
streets for the Pacific Metal Works. It
occupies a quarter of a block and is two
stories high. Of fireproof construction,
it - was built at a cost of J29.000. Emil
Schacht & Son were the architects for
the structure.
The building, 100 by 100 feet, is both a
factory and storehouse. There is a large
foundry in the. rear of the building for
the manufacture of solder. There are
also four large furnaces in the foundry,
while over all is a reinforced concrete
roof laid on steel trusses. The walls are
so constructed that the entire building is
absolutely fireproof. The construction is
especially heavy and the floor Is built to
stand a weight of 500 pounds to the square
foot.
On the first floor are the offices, a large
foundry-room, 36 by 80 feet, a large ware
room and shower ibaths for the men. The
second floor and basement are entirely
given over to storage purposes with the
exception of the heating plant. An elec
tric freight elevator is installed to move
heavy metals form the basement to the
top floor.. The building is practically fin
ished and will bo occupied this week.
AND WAREHOUSE IS ABSOLUTELY FIREPROOF.

Few Permits Issued by City
' Building Inspector.
TOTAL IS BUT $85,755
Smallest Weekly Record for Year Is
Set Chances Still Good for
Grandstand Finish -for
the Year.
For the first time this year the total of J
building: permits for a single week fell If
below the $90,000 mark. Last week was
an exceptionally light one In the office
of the building: inspector and resulted In
but 42 permits for a total valuation of
$85,755. These figures give a poor show
ing for the month, as already with De
cember almost gone the total is but a
trifle over $100,000. In December, 1908, the
total was over $900,000. and appearances
Indicate that the totals this month will
show a big decrease.
City Building Inspector Dobson, how
ever, believes that the present month
may still be a record-breaker, despite the
poor start. There are a number of sets
of plans in the building inspector's of
fice for large structures and some of
these will be issued this month. Notable
among these is the set of plans for the
$575,000 building for John B. Yeon, the
Courthouse, for which a permit of about
$250,000 will be granted, the Heilig Thea
ter, and several sets of plans for build
ings to cost from $50,000 to $100,000.
The permits issued each day last week
were as follows: Monday, ten permits
for a total of $10,250; Tuesday, three for
$10,350; Wednesday, two permits for $19,

CONCRETE BLOCKS USED
STONE AXD CEMEXT PLAT IM
PORTANT PART IX BUILDING.
Handsome East Side Homes Being
Erected "With Unique Mate
rial for Construction.
Slowly but surely the use of stone
and concrete Is Increasing aa material
tor home construction In Portland. A
considerable number of dwellings have
been completed during the last year of
concrete blocks " In Piedmont 'and In
Ladd Addition and elsewhere, and
now solid stone Is being-used In some
buildings.
A new kind of building material Is
being used In a. dwelling under con
struction In the Ladd Addition. This
Is in a 10-room residence. 62: by 75
feet, which will cost about $10,000. and
is being built by the Portland Building
Association. It will be the pure mis
sion style. The outside Is covered with
three coats of cement plaster, the last
being a pure white, produced by the
tjse of Medusa cement and waterproof
compound. The ceiling and side walls
of the hallway -will be finished in ara
besques of plaster, while In the drawing-room
and living-room the ceilings
will be decorated In molded panels, with
intricate corner designs, Moorish in
style, to harmonize with this style of
building. The dining-room will be
heavily beamed In plaster, supported
by pilasters forming the door and
window side casings. Nitsche & ' An
drea are doing the decorations. Povey
Bros, are designing 'the .handsome
stained and beveled plate glass ef
fects for this residence. The roof will
be covered with mission tiles to produce
the massive tile effect of California
and Mexico. It is the "house that dif
fers." In Piedmont tbe Cooper Sandstone
Company is erecting a residence of
stone. It is located on Maflory avenue
and Ainsworth avenue, and is one of
the first solid stone buildings to be
erected tin that district, although sev
eral concrete-block homes have been
built in Piedmont.
An architect of this city, in speak
ing of stone and concrete houses, says:
"A frame house can be built well, so
as to give satisfaction, both as to ap
pearance and to comfort; but it gives
an Idea of cheapness. Fifteen years is
the actual life of such a bilding. The
cost of maintenance and repairs, paint,
renewal of decayed and rotted wood
work, makes a heavy annual tax, which
Increases with each year as the build
ing ages. Then the factor of personal
comfort enters largely in the matter
of home-building. A frame house is
hot in Summer and cold in Winter. The
stone house, even the cement-block
house, requires no painting. It is as
good the cement-block house Is bet
ter 20 'or 50 years after it is finished
than it was when first completed.
" 'But the stone house is damp and
unhealthful; It is productive of rheu
matism and other dire calamities,
argues the man who has never lived
in one. This is the height of folly,
as every one will testify who lias-lived
in a stone house properly built."
It is predicted that now that it is
easy to get plenty of building stone in
Oregon more stone dwellings will be
erected in future in Portland. A start
has been made on the East Side.
PACKARD COMPANY BUYS
GARAGE SITE PURCHASED OX
CORNELL ROAD.
Two-Story Brick to Be Built at Cost
of $29,000 on Lot Costing
$18,000.
The Packard Automobile Company will
build a large garage at once on Twenty
third street, near Washington, on the lot
recently purchased by the RealtyAsso
ciates of Portland for the Packard Com
pany. The structure will be a two-story
brick, with reinforced concrete floor, for
both garage and salesroom. It will cost
$29,000.
The srite was bought last week from
Kate Ward for $18,000. It is just north
of Washington street and has a frontage
of 70 feet on Twenty-third street and 97
feet on the Cornell road. It Is deeded
to Frank C. Riggs, local agent for the
Packard Automobile Company. The H.
P. Palmer-Jones Company cted for the
seller.
This garage will be located further out
than any other like building in the city,
but the location is considered good. In
view of rapid development west along
Washington street.
E. 1. Cooper last week purchased
through the agency of Heilman & Lathrop
the fine new residence which was built in
Irvington at East Twenty-second and
Thompson streets by George P. Fuller.
The price named is $9000. It is a large,
finely-finished ten-room house, two and
one-half stories high and thoroughly mod
ern. It was bought for a home and Is
occupied by Mr. Cooper.
The Congregational Church board of ex
tension has purchased a quarter block at
the corner of Twenty-ninth and Everett
streets for $4000. This location has been
decided upon as a splendid one for a J
church, and eventually a pretentious
structure will be erected.
For the present a Sunday school room
of frame material will be built. After a
congregation has been established, plans
will be undertaken for the new church
building. I. B. Gray has charge of the
establishment of the new church.
Dr. E. W. Hagyard, veterinary surgeon,
and C. B. Kler, owner 'of the O. R. C.
Stables, have purchased the Central Sta
bles at Seventeenth and Alder streets from
Hewitt & Warrens for $10,000. The prop
erty carries a lease of IS years. The barn
is a two-story brick covering a quarter of
a block, and having accommodations for
120 head of horses, with ample vehicle and
storage room. The new proprietors of
the stables may add one or more stories
to the building.
FIE HOMES BUILT
Irvingfon Keeps Up Record for
Handsome Residences.
POPULATION GROWS FAST
Restrictions as to Buildings Permit
Only Modern Structures to Be
Erected Streetcar Service
Will Be Extended.
Probably no portion of the East Side is
building up as rapidly with flrst-claas
homes as the Irvington and the Alameda
districts. Hard-surface pavements have
been laid on every street as far east as
Twenty-fourth and north to Fremont. The
building restrictions permit only the erec
tion of first -class homes In this district,
with the result that it has become one
of the most attractive- sections of the
city. A good round price is asked for
building lots, but sales are being made
daily to men who are attracted by the
finely-paved streets and the uniformly
attractive homes that have been erected
and projected.
Recent statistics prepared by County
Clerk F. S. Fields show that the popu
lation of the Irvington district has in
creased faster than nearly any other sec
tion of the East Side, and especially be
tween East Eighth and East Twenty
fourth streets. These statistics were pre
pared to show that streetcar service had
not kept up with the growth of the dis
trict. Beyond East Twenty-fourth street
building operations are in progress, and
that section promises to build up rapidly.
Gates & Young have started excavating
for the basement of an $S000 dwelling, the
first of five to be erected at East Twenty-seventh
and Thompson streets. The
five houses they will erect will range in
cost from $S0OO to $10,000. The first will
be 30x40 feet. It will contain seven rooms
and will be a high-class dwelling. When
the floor, with the hall, living-room and
library is completed, it will have the ap
pearance of a checkerboard, cherry,
white maple and mahogany wood being
used. All the five buildings will have
the same general characteristics of con
struction. J. H. Beckly is completing his elegant
borne at East Nineteenth and Thompson
etreets at a cost of $5600. J. M. Plttinger,
who purchased ten lots in Irvington
several months ago, near Thompson,
street, bas disposed of e'lght, but retains
two on which he will erect a home. The
home of Guy Haines, at East Tenth and
Thompson strets, costing $4500, is nearing
completion.
All through this splendid district it is
the same story of beautiful homes. The
fine new edifice of the First Universalist
Church of Good Tidings on Broadway and
East Twenty-fourth streets will be ready
for dedication in a few months. It will
be a most attractive structure. The
pastor desires the building to be a church,
for the whole community and it will con
tain a parish hall for general purposes.
Th concrete bridge across Sullivan's
Gulch will soon be Tepaired by the con
tractors and thrown open to the general
use of the public It is expected that
a canine will be extended across the
bridge in time, although the car company
refused to pay Its assessment for the
double tracks that were laid across the
bridge. H. M. Haller, of the Holladay
Park Improvement Club, says Jje has
assurance that a carllne will be built
through Holladay Park to replace the
line that was recently pulled up. It Is
thought the line will be extended over
this bridge when It is built.
Heilman & Lathrop have Just sold the
fine new residence at East Twenty-second
and Thompson streets, owned by
George F. Fuller, to L E Cooper, of
Cooper & Company, for $9000. It is a
two and a half-story, 10-room building,
finely finished, modern in every respect.
It was bought by Mr. Cooper as a home
and has been occupied by the new
owner.
As soon as the weather will permit,
the Portland Railway, Light fe Power
Company will start on the extension of
the Broadway street railway, which now
ends at East Twenty-fourth and Thomp
