THE SUNDAY OREGON'IAN. PORTLAND. DECEMBER 7, 1913- 10 BRIDG BOND SALE E UP TO COMMUTE Walter H. Evans, Henry Teal and C. K. Williams Named as Advisory Board. SERIAL ISSUE IS FAVORED Sale to Be Made Subject to Opinion on Ix-Rality by Recognized Firm and Sinking Fund for Ite .lrmplion Is Criticised. To recommend the best procedure to follow In Issuing the ti.2iio.000 bonds for the construction of the Interstate v" brldg-e, the County Commissioners yes terday appointed "Walter It Evans. Henry Teal and C. K. Williams an ad visory committee. and requested that, they be prepared to submit their re port December 1J. District Attorney Evans was named chairman of the committee. Mr. Krans said he had talked with each of the committeemen named to serve with him only in an- informal way. but would call a meeting at an early Uate and consider the problems which must be determined In issuing me bonds. Suggestion has been made. II r. Evans said yesterday, that the bidders be re quired to submit as part of their tend t-rs the premium they would be willing to pay on bonds bearing different rates of Interest, the county specifying in the call for bids the highest rate of interest it would be willing to have the "Jims mir, wun me proviso mat tney nail not be sold lor less. Selling Plan to Be Considered. Other questions which will be con rtldered by the advisory committee and upon which they will make a recom rocndation is whether the bonds shall be sold in their entirety, to one firm, or divided and sold to a number of bidders, the time of the delivery and the place, the character of the bonds and when and how they are to be re tired. . Although no meeting of the commit tee has been held. Mr. Evans said tbst he believed all the members favor test ing the legality of the bonds before they are offered for sale, and that the advertisement specify that the bonds will be sold subject to an opinion on their legality by a firm of recognized bond lawyers. This method. Mr. Kvans fcftid. Is far more satisfactory In that It prevents a buyer backing out of his agreement should the price of bonds fall, by calling on his own attorneys for an opinion aa to their legality, and then refusing to take them on a tech nicality. Members of the commission puggested Story. Thorndyke, Palmer Dodge, of Boston, who have examined many of the Oregon bond issues, and Dillon, Thompson & Clay, of New York, as attorneys whose opinion would be recognized by the leading bond buy ers of the country as almost the last word on the subject. Making- Fonda Criticised. Close consideration of the character of the bonds and the manner of their retirement will be given by the com mittee. Much objection to sinking funds has been made by practical men in different parts of the country. At best, they say, such funds draw eon- -siurraoiy less interest tnan the Issue they are to liquidate, or by reason of ' fluctuations may be Fhort or far In excess of the amount necessary to re tire the bonds. Mr, Evana said that though his mind was open to conviction, he is of opinion tnat the bonds sbould be serial, the first consignment to be retired in flvo years and the remainder In equal amounts each year thereafter. Retir ing the first 150,000 In five years, and a like amount every year thereafter, the entire issue, ha said, would be taken up within 30 years, which Is the ARMY LASSIES COLLECT COINS FOR CITyS POOR Dimes, Nickels and Pennies Will Go Toward Providing Christmas Cheer for 1500 Persons 300 Baskets Will Be Filled. .,.,.T.f.i lCMtf ' i s . .'',.. - SSLlAllu . i.

Everything is in readiness for the special city election Tuesday, accord ing to City Auditor Barbur. who has charge of the plans. Arrangements have been made definitely for all the polling places and election boards have been completed, supplies are arranged for the booths, the ballots have been printed and plans for distribution of supplies have been made. As in the last special state election, the polling places are to be in build ings. This is because of the weather and the added expense which would be necessary, to heat tents If they were used. Auditor Barbur says that at no past election have the board of clerks and Judges been so complete. At this election there will be more women of ficials than at any previous one. It Is expected that the election will cost about 110.000. .depending upon the length of time - required to count the ballots. If everything goes as ex pected. It will be necessary to have csly one day board and one night board, it being the opinion of Mr. Bar bur that the counting of votes will not necessitate the count extending beyond une day and one ntght.

IF all that Harry l Boynton says for his new Invention for renovating ruga and carpets be true It will be a distinct advance In efficiency on the modern vacuum cleaner, for it Is said not only to draw the dust out but to remove grease spots, restore the color and raise to Its pristine freshness the nap of the fabric trampled down by many feet. . Mr. Boynton completed the work on his carpet renovator a month ago. Since then he has been putting it to practical test, and he says it is doing all that he expected of it- He has ap plied for a patent. The Inventor Is a native of Grants Pass, but has lived off and on in Portland for the last five years. The Boynton renovator contains in the body of the machine a chemical solution, which Is the medium that Is said to bring back the faded colors. This is heated by electricity, which generates steam. In the Interior of the machine is a large cylindrical brush, which revolves in tho opposite direction to a double endless chain of brushes. These are in oontlnuous mo tion, and work on tho nap of the car pet or rug with an eccentrlo motion. The chemical vapor Is equally distrib uted over the chain of brushes by the ears; cylindrical brush, Tho action. aJ the machine over the rug is similar to a carpet sweeper. It Is drawn back and forth, and it renews the rug as It goes. The advantages claimed over the vacuum cleaner are that it removes all dlnginess and grease spots and re stores the colors to their original brightness and Its suction on the damp ened carpet draws the nap up into an erect position, leaving: the rug appar ently the same as new. Moreover, the chemical solution is free from poison ous Ingredients and harmless to the most delicate colors. It contains anti septics, which are death to germs, moths, fleas and other objectionable or dangerous parasites. Boynton's renovator Is not Intended to be attached to the electrical fixtures of a house, although doubtless it could be operated by that means if desired. It is intended to be a medium operated from an automobile, in which the elec trical current Is generated and con veyed Co the machine. The reason tor this method of operation is the saving of the expense of the electricity that would be used by attaching the ma chine to the electric fixtures within the h.ome. , Mr. Boynton says that he Intends to Incorporate a company as soon as he obtains the patent for his renovator and put it on the market. He believes b xiaa a wlnnoc. City Orilcial Says Kose City Park, Vernon, Upper and Lower Alblna and Central East Portland VTIII -ot Block More. Declaring that opposition from ths Rose City Park Improvement Associa tion and other organizations to the plans for the proposed 1200.000 bond Is sue for permanent park Improvements is Inconsistent, City Commissioner Brewster, author of the proposed park bond Issue, has prepared a statement In the form of a reply to Walter Seaberg, of the Itose City Park Club, who appar ently has been most active in the cam paign against the bonds. Mr. Brewster declares that at tne election last Fall there was a proposed 11.000,000 bond Issue up for the pur chase of parks and playgrounds and that It was defeated largely because of the cry that no more property should be secured until the present holdings are Improved. Now he says an Issue Is up proposing to raise money to make these Improvements and the cry la being made that the Issue should be voted down because no provision Is made for acqul sltlon of more land. "Mr, Heaberg's letter In Saturday's Oregonian deserves a reply." said Com missioner Brewster yesterday. "His objection was directed largely against the Item of lights for the parks. which he assumes to be merely for or nament. Sumner H rede Ksowm. "At this season of the year the need of park fights may not be apparent: but during the Hummer months complaints were numerous that the parks were be ing used at night for Immoral purposes. Light Is one of the best means of pre venting thl trouble. If, therefore, it Is necessary to provide protection by lights, the remaining question to be set tied Is as to the best kind of lights. Arc lamps mu.t be placed high, and If near trees they only Increase the dark ness of the shadows and for this reason cannot be recommended, rosts eight or 10 feet high have been selected, and arc made of concrete Instead of iron or steel for tho sake of durability, appear ance and lower cost. The Hem for lights Is $40,000, as Mr. Seaberg says, but about two-thirds of this amount la for wiring. The attempt Is to get a serviceable light post which at the same time Is good looking. Some of these posts have been Installed dur ins- the oast rear and may be seen In Washington and Peninsula J'srss ana on tho .south end or tne uerwuiiger boulevard, and. before talking about Goddess of Liberty lights,' Mr. Seaberg might have found out what the pro posed posts look like. In the same letter a policy is aa- vised, a prophecy made A park and nlayaround bond issue covering all sec tlons. definitely stated and covering nractical needs of present parks, all In one measure would carry.' This state ment is worthy of consideration, for. If correct, the Council made a mistake in recommending to the public a partial measure like the present one. which Is to cere for the 'practical needs of pres ent parks.' Practical I'ae t Be Made sf Moaey. - "That we intend to use the money r. practical needs is true, if we agree that lights, drainage, water, drinking foun tains, walks, drives, comfort stations, a swimming pool and fencing are required in the parks. All of these items, except drives and a swimming pool, are neces sities In every park or playground. Without them the land remains unfit as a resort for the public. "The objection most generally urged to the former $2,000,000 bond issue was that it was extravagant to buy more land until we had Improved the land we have. Now the objection is that we provide nothing for purchases of land. The real trouble seems to be that a bond Issue large enough to satisfy legl. tlmate needs of all sections In this city of magnificent distances frightens tax payers on account of Its size, and a bond Issue which takes only a step In the inevitable direction will not meet universal approval because everyone will not ret what he wants Immedi ately. "Kose City Park, Vernon. Upper and Lower Alblna. Central East Portland and other neighborhoods are getting nothing. Will they oppose the present bond Issue, which will benefit 13 other communities? I do not think so. I feel confident that they will act aa citizens of Portland, without local animosity. heln to psss this measure, and then Join a general movement to have the Coun cil obtain options in the different sec tions, and submit to the voters a bond Issue for the purchase of particular par cels of land at known prices and provid ing for the Improvement of such land on a statement as definite as that al ready submitted for the proposed" Issue."
