"The superintendent of bridges is re quired to furnish reports under the administrative code, and beginning with the month of December reports fcave been made on the Broadway, Burnslde. Morrison and Hawthorne bridges, with the following exceptions: No report for the Broadway bridge lor January. February or March; no report for the Hawthorne bridge for January. These reports are uniformly scanty. The provision looking to a trafflo count on the first day of each month has been entirely Ignored, and a number of the items are approxi mations rather than accurate measure ments. Ferry Data Lacking-. "Provision for reports on the fer ries is also a feature of the administra tive code. Beginning with the month of March reports have been had from the ferries Webster and Mason, ex cepting that no report for the month of May is shown on the part of the Mason. A provision exists for reports from the other ferries, the Burlington, St. Johns and Caples. but no report is shown as to any of them. "The sealer of weights and measures Is required to report under the code, and while his department is of less comparative importance, two reports are shown to have been quite fully executed for the months of January and February. Since February, however, no report is shown. Lark of T"romntnes Xnted. "In addition to the foregoing there was filed ln the month of May a re port from the . superintendent of machinery with respect to auto-trucks, also as to the heat and laundry account of the County Hospital, and the opera tion of the rock quarries: also as to elevator and engine-room ln the Court house. These reports have been pre pared with considerable care and give information which is both interesting and valuable. "It is unfortunate that such reports have not been tiled earlier than the month of May. Generally It may be aid the administrative code calls for the fifing of these reports not later than six days after the end of each month. The practice seems to be to file these indifferently at any time after the end of the month, even as late as the middle of the succeeding month. This is especially noticeable in the .reports of the County Hospital. "It may be said further that the spirit which has prompted the adoption of the administrative code is not com 1'Iied with In the scanty and unsatis factory reports shown." Methodists Approve Albee. The Methodist Brotherhood of Sell wood has approved Mayor Albee's cam paign against grills that do not com ply with the law.
