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

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

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. Jn all there
will be 2028 Judges and clerks on hand.

t BOYXTOX CARPET CLEAXIXG MACHINE.
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

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.
