11 PENINSULA PLANS IMPROVED STREETS Chain of Highways Will Extend From Center of District to Columbia. KENTON BUILDS STREETS Many Valuable Homes Are. Being Bnilt Along Portland Bonlevard. Kenton's Improvements Include School. Complete chains of hard-surface pavements are bein? developed on the Peninsula, which will connect the cen tral portion bordering: on Lombard street and the outer portion bordering on Willamette boulevard. Also a high way is projected to run to the Oregon landing of the interstate bridge from Meagley Junction and Columbia boule vard by way of the Union Meat Com pany's plant. It is proposed to pave a 80-foot strip on Willamette boulevard to McKenna avenue, and thence to the railroad bridge; the Htrip will be 15 feet wide. This improvement will extend over the main portion of the boulevard in front of the campus of tile Columbia TTniversity and University Park and "Portsmouth, where the street carries a heavy traffic. The paved roadway will be confined with wooden headers. Another important improvement is ;that of Greeley street between Willam ette boulevard and Lombard street. On this street cement sidewalks were laid last year and the street was graded preparatory to hard-surface which will probably be laid this year. Proceedings have been advanced .so that the bids are invited for this work. Already work is in progress on Lom bard street between Wabash and Der by streets, in Kenton, and later will.be continued to Albina avenue. The pay ing: of Albina avenue between Killings worth avenue and Lombard street is ' projected and proceedings have been started. Albina avenue will be paved so that strips on each side of the paved roadway will be left for utilities. Improvements Cost $250,000. The cost of these improvements will be in the neighborhood of - $250,000. They will form a connecting chain of hard surface pavement.s ail through the Peninsula. Probably the most import ant will be the improvement of Willam ette boulevard, the highway which follows the windings of the Willamette to St. Johns. This street always carries a ' heavy traffic, but is not in g-ood condition throughout the year and at times is almost lmpasable. All other important streets on the Peninsula connect with the Willamette boulevard and it extends to and runs through St. Johns, forming a connection with Col umbia boulevard. In Kenton at present a sreneral sys tem -of street improvements is under war which were started last year. These streets rover the main portion of Kenton and will cost about 5250,000 when finished. Bids have been invited for the improvement of Patton avenue between Jarrett street and Portland boulevard. Patton Avenue Iay Be Paved There is a further movement to pave Patton avenue from Portland boulevard and Columbia boulevard and proceed ings will be started in the near future. Also it is proposed to straighten out Patton avenue between Kilpatrick street and Columbia boulevard, in Ken ton, where there is a Jog. It is felt that T'atton avenue should be a straight street, inasmuch as it is slated to ex tend to the interstate bridge if that span is built. As the sewers in Ken ton were put down when Kenton was laid out. the hard-surface pavements are laid without delay. In the matter of building there is considerable activity along and near Portland boulevard between Vancouver avenue and Willamette boulevard. An excellent class of homes are being built along the Portland boulevard mainly on the north side, where they range in cost from J3000 to J5000. Several of the prin- cipal streets between Portland boule vard and Lombard have been graded and supplied with cement sidewalks, and that district is steadily filling up with good homes. So far no movement has been started to improve the Portland boulevard, but it Is expected that it will bo improved the last of the year. It is a wide street and the abutting property-owners feel that it would be too heavy a burden to have the entire cost placed on their shoulders. S TV I nt on Oetif Homes. Along Albina avenue through to Col umbia boulevard several fine additions are filling up with homes. Swinton, on the east side of Kenton has ma-tie excellent progress in moderate homes. This class of improvement extends eastward to and beyond Woodlawn. The only street improvements in this district consists of grading and side walks, as the property will not stand hard-surface at present, but it is stead ily advancing In value. At Kenton, the district has author ised the erection of h modern scnool house to be built on Lombard street this year. Part of the main buildlnr wiii be put up this year and the Dal ance will be completed as required. Cost will be something over J50.000 and the building will be ready for occu pancy by the opening of school in the Kali. Owing to the growth of Kenton, that district has been calling for- this schoolhouse for more than a year past. . Fire Company Kxpeeted. Announcement is made that the new fire station in Kenton, built some time ago, will soon be ocupied by a fire company. With the main streets of Kenton paved, the company will be - able to afford fire protection for a wide territory. Construction of a new road is pro posed from Meagley Junction and Col umbia boulevard out to the Union Meat Company's plant. The i?t. Johns Com , mercial Club and the Maegley im provement Club have this project in. nami, ana are getting It Into shape. 'Opening, of this new road to the , packing plant front Columbia boulevard and Maegley Junction is a highly im portant improvement for the Lower Peninsula." said K. G. Brand, "and I hope to see it succeed. It will bring . Kast sst. Johns and St. Johns to within three quarters of a mile of the packing plant, whereas by way of Columbia boulevard and the-Kenton roadway the distance is two and a quarter miles. The Union Meat Company also proposes to build a roadway to the probable Ore gon landing of the proposed interstate bridge on the Columbia Kiver. This with the road we are trying to open direct to the pa. king plant will give t. Johns' people a hort and direct route to the enu-tnep to the interstate bridge. Part or the i-oa.i will be on piles. I have been informed by J. H. Nolta that the outlook "for the inter state bridge is encouraging. He says that he has no doubt but it will be built. - Small Factories Building.

Also the proposed, paving of the Wil lamette boulevard to the St.. Johns line will .give us another hard-surface street along the-. Willamette - River to and through St. Johns. The plan to open Columbia- Slongh and make It. a waterway between" the Willametts and the Columbia rivers is being worked out: I understand that petitions are In circulation making it a district for dredging purposes. 'At any rate tt will be a great project for the Penin sula and for Portland." LARGE AREA IS FILLED O.-W. K. & JV. I'KEPAKES TO IX. ST.VI.Ii FREIGHT DEPOT'. New Approach to Tturnside Bridge and Long Viaduct Over Sec-Qnd Mreet to Be Made. The O.-W. R. &X. Company is en gaged in preliminary work for the erection of the freight depot at the mouth of Sullivan's Gulch. It is an nounced that the vacant blocks be tween Kast Burnside, Kast Flanders, Kast First and Kaft Second streets are to be filled up to grade. Several trainloads of material have been dumped into the low grounds on the east side of East First street prelim inary to the filling of these blocks. On East Second street the entire-space has been occupied with four tracks north ward from the bridge approach. Piles, which will be. used as the foundation of the viaduct over the railroad land when the east approach to' the Burn side bridge is rebuilt, were delivered last " week. It is not intended" to re build the approach to the Burnside bridge until after, the Rose Festival. In rebuilding the approach It will be remodeled so that a long viaduct will be built over East Second street and part of the railroad land in order to provide more clearance for cars underneath. The county will start re building thq approach probably this month and the railroad company will build the steel part, of the viaduct at the same time. Useless. (Washington Post.)

' ' --'-p: 7- RESIDENCE OF CHARLES -5? d-- SEWER IS FINISHED Puzzling Insley Avenue Line Is Ready for Service. ENGINEERING MARK IS MADE Slain Trunk Drains 180 0 Acres of City and After Many Difficul ties Is Finally Completed at Cost of $133,0-00. One of the largest trunk sewers ever built in Portland is the big con crete main on Insley avenue and other streets which was completed by the city Friday after overcoming many puzzling engineering problems. From an engineering standpoint this project marks a new record, according to City Engineer Hurlburt who de signed the sewer and has had charge of the work during the several months that It has been under way.' One of the most :ilTicult problems encountered was Hie flow of water from Crystal Springs Creek which had to be taken care of in the trench. It was with great difficulty that the water was blocked back and turned out of its regular course long enough to allow the huge concrete sewer to be installed and to dry. The big pipe extends from Lambert avenue in Sellwood in a northerly direc tion, parallel to and 225 feet east of East Twenty-second street, to Zanita ave nue: thence west on Zanita avenue to East Twenty-second street: thence north on East Twenty-second street to Insley avenue; thence in a westerly direction to the Wlllamett. River. The first 3000 feet of the line o; the sewer follows the course of Crystal Springs Creek, but in an opposite direction to the flow of the stream. From Lambert avenue to Bybee ave nue, a distance of SO00 feet, the sewer Is 60 inches in diameter on two-tenths of 1 per cent grade. It is constructed of reinforced concrete with the invert lined with cement mortar -plaster. This part of the sewer has a carrying capacity of 11 cubic feet a second, and drains an area of 360 acres. . From Bybee avenue to Harold ave nue, a distance of 3400 feet, the sewer is 78 inches in diameter and of the same type of construction as the 60 lnch sewer. It has a carrying capacity of 240 cubic feet a second at this sec tion. Tt drains an areatof 830 acres.

From East Twentieth street to the Willamette River, a distance at 21.00 feet, the sever is. 6 feet in diameter: 1180 feet of this portion is a tunnel section of plain concrete, the invert lined with basaltic stone blocks. The remainder of the six-foot sewer is of reinforced concrete construction, the invert being lined with basaltic stone blocks. The total cost was $132,000. HILL VISITS FOREST GROVE Kxtenion of Oregon Electric Up Gales Creek Considered. FOREST GROVE. Or., Jday 31. (Spe cial.) Louis W. Hill and his party came to tills city in their private car Thursday and were guests of the Com mercial Club. At noon a meeting was held at the City Hall, at which Mr. Hill, President Young, of the North Bank, and Judge W. H. Jlollis spoke. Mr. Hill said that In the East Ore gonians were seen less than the people of other states: that this was one of the finest recommendations to be had. as the people were satisfied and did not care to go elsewhere. He extolled the pioneer and said that only the fit test got across in their long, hard trip by ox team. "We have faith in the growth of Ore gon and expect to aid in its develop ment. Other lines may build, but that won't keep us out. The state is big enough for all of us," said Mr. Hill. The object of the Hill party coming to this city was to consider the advis ability of extending the Oregon Elec tric up Gales Creek. Eugene Provides for Paving. EUGENE, Or.. May 31. (Special.)

Through . Activity of Improvement Organization Principal Streets Have Been Improved. Completion of the Woodlawn fire station and installation of the fire com pany there Monday night marks an im portant progressive step in the Wood lawn district. The building stands on the corner of Durham and Dekum ave nues on a triangular piece, which was formerly the site of the railway sta tion. These two streets are to be paved in the near future. Proceedings have been started, and tt is expected to get the improvement completed by the end of the ye-ir. The building is a two-story brick one, and is provided at present with a horse drawn apparatus, which will be changed to motor apparatus soon'. It cost $8000 and is finely equipped in every way. Through the efforts of the Woodlawn Improvement Association ample water mains have been laid in the Woodlawn district, and there is good fire pres sure. Dr. W. E. Smith, who spoke for the citizens of Woodlawn, said that the people of Woodlawn were entirely satisfied with the engine house and the tire company. The extension of the "Woodlawn streetcar line to East Twenty-third street. . at a cost of $12,000 to th property owners of the . district, has opened up to streetcar facilities a very fine district to the eastward. The track was first extended to East Thir teenth street by property owners, and recently it was completed to East i wenty-tnird. The cars are now in operation. Dekum" avenue has been opened eastward almost to Concordia College. In time it Is probable that the Woodlawn carline will be extended to a connection with the Alberta car line, which is built on Ea.st Thirtieth street. The district east of Woodlawn and near Dekum avenue is attractive, and many. fine homes have been built there. It is planned to pave Dekum avenue for a. distance of about ten blocks. The Woodlawn Improvement Association is urging the improvement, and hopes to see the paving laid during the present year. faeveral otner streets are to be Improved under proceedings now un der way. Union avenue has been opened to Co lumbia boulevard, and an effort is being mao to get trie xvenue paved to Co lumbia boulevard. The Portland Rail way. Light & Power Company owns a 3-foot right of way, and the owners of the abutting property have donated 25-foot strips, making an 80-foot street corresponding- with the rest of the street southward. Proceedings have been started to condemn the right-of-way and make it part of Union avenue, so that the street may be paved. It la further planned to extend Union ave nue from Columbia boulevard to the Columbia River to the location of the proposed interstate bridge on the Ore gon side of the Columbia River. Through the work of. the Woodlawn Improvement Association the Woodlawn district has made good progress the past few' years in both public and pri vate improvements.

STREETS TO BE PAVED v Water SyMcui to He Installed at Cot of SSO.dOO Krairhis for Electric Line Aked and New Bnilriin-rs Planned. Milwaukie. one of Portland's lively suburb, will spend about $75,000 for Improving streets and will erect a. complete new water works during th present year at a cost of $20,000. Sev eral buildings under way and projected will cost $25,000 or more. At the last special meeting of thi ' City Council Tuesday night tho paving of Front street through the city was : authorised, according to the estimates of the City Engineer, for $40,000. The Oregon City branch of the Tortland Railway. Light & Power Company oc--cupies Front street and will be as- -sessed for part of the cost. A bridge ' across Kellogg Creek will he rebuilt at a cost of about $3500. but this money will not be assessed to the property owners and will come out of the road funds. Mayor Elmer has been anxious that this improvement should be made oil account of- its importance. Work has been resumed on the Foster road improvement which was started last 7 year. The improvement will cost $18,000. and will soon be completed. The City Council has authorized the im provement of Laurel avenue in East -Milwaukie for & distance of 1100 feet. A franchise for an electric railway has been asked for through Milwaukia along Frout street. Front street is asked for. but Mayor Elmer declared . that he would not consent to a fran- chlse on that street on the conditions -of the ordinance as the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company has a track there now. However, he did say that if double tracks were laid on Front street with common user provi- sions properly safeguarded he would ' not object. The franchise will come up at the next regular meeting ot the Council. ; A franchise for this same line has . been secured south through Oak Grove and on south to Clackamas and Mayor Elmer stated that he had been in- -formed that rights of way had been secured through the Scott farm on the ! north side of Milwaukie.

J. E. Wetaler is completing a modern two-story concrete building on ' Main street at a cost of $7000. It is the best structure of the sort erected -' In Milwaukie. It is expected that the corner room will be occupied by the--" Milwaukie postoffice.
