SEWER WORK- BEGUN s25 Nobby w Jrsv Re,. U. S. Pal. J TS S 'P" W fx ( -ik:-- - u i ' : ' Y o TT" The Montavilla Board of Trade and "William Lind, contractor, broke the ground yesterday for the big trunk sewer lor mat district at the intersec tion of East Eighty-sixth and East Glisan streets. W. H. Hamilton, presi dent; Dr. William DeVeny. Henry Wingert, Contractor Lind and S. Kroe nig turned the ground on the spot where excavations will start for the big sewer tube. Mr. Hamilton called attention to the importance of this sewer and what it will mean for the Montavilla and East Mount Tabor districts. One of the two sections will be built on i.ast Glisan street from East Sev enty-fourth to East Eiahty-sixth streets, connecting at East Beventy- lourtn street with the trunk complet ed to that point last year. This sec tion will be 42 and 36 Inches In diam eter. Mr. Lind plans to rush construc tion on Last Glisan street, which is im proved, and. it is also planned to pave 1 as soon as possible. Maid to Connect With Old Trunk;. The main trunk will start at the i- Tersection of EastjSixtv-third anH Wil low streets, north of East Glisan, where 3t will connect with the trunk con structed last year.- At this point the sewer will be 54 Inches In diameter and will Increase to 60 inches at Its inter section with the Barr road, and on to East Eighty-second street. The line then turns south on East Eighty-second to East Burnside, then to East Lighty-Hrst, to East Stark, to East Morrison, to East Seventy-eighth and to Its termination at East Taylor street. Contractor Lind announced yesterday that he would build from three points, East Sixty-third and Willow streets, at the Barr road and at East Eighty-sixth and East Glisan streets, and will employ wiien un-uer run neaaway 160 men. The total length of the units is 20 000 lineal feet, or four miles of sewer construction. Mr. Lind estimate that It Will take six months, or 150 wnrlc Ing days, to build the sewer, and with favorable weather hopes to finish the joo Dy .November. If not a little sooner. The 150 men working 150 days provids nays' work for the men. Many Montavilla men will be employed in construction woric. Work of Concrete Type. The sewer is of the concrete type and the sections are being built at the rate of 160 lineal feet a day, one force oeing engaged at present building the sections at the corner of East Eighty second and East Glisan streets. All the sewers recently built on Tabor Heights and extending down the East Side will connect with this new unit. The contract price is S148 000. nearly 26,000 less than the first bids. 'ihe lesser price was obtained through the efforts of Dr. William Uev eny and other members of the Montavilla Board of Trade. This is the last unit of what is known as the East Stark street trunk sewer which is more than 10 feet in diameter at the Willamette River. Four units were Included in the gen . eral plans, the first extending to East inirtietn, second through Laurelhurst the third through Center Addition, and the present unit. The' four trunk units will represent an expenditure of about $700,000, outside of the laterals which will be built later as petitioned for and which will cost as much more. ARE MEN CREATED EQUAL? Mr, U'Ren "Would Dissect Declara tion of Independence. PORTLAND, April 24. (To the Ed itor.) I read your comments last week on the proposed amendment to abolis.i land speculation and the private own ership of ground rents in Oregon. This amendment includes the whole of Henry George's idea that can be ac complished by a state government, ex oept only that it noes not prohibit in heritance taxes or income taxes. It is true that it might be made shorter by omitting the quotation from the Declaration of Independence, and omitting the declarations of public policy. The Declaration of Independ ence itself might have been mad much shorter if it had been a bare statement of the ultimate fact. But in that case I doubt if it would have had power to touch the hearts and arouse the emotions of the Revolutionary soiaiers. Do you deny the declaration, "That nil men are created Cqual; that they are endowed by their creator with cer tain Inalienable rights; that among tnese are lire. UDerty ana the pursuit of happiness"? Do you believe that the man who is obliged to pay ground rent for the privilege of living in the United States has life or liberty or the pursuit of happiness on equal terms with the man who inherited as much of the earth as he needs to use to make a living- for himself and for his family? If you do, will you kindly state the reasons why the two men are equal? Do you be lieve the laborer who was born in the United States without a legal right to a foot of land has life and liberty, or can pursue happinesson equal terms with the Astors or any other great land-owning family? Referring to your second editorial suggesting that I am a "very blood thirsty" man. I think It would be no more than fair if you would publish the article from which you quoted. WILLIAM S. ITREN. Reproduction of Mr. U'Ren's entire article on single tax is not essential to a fair discussion of the admiration therein expressed for Villa. Mr. U'Ren's questions are answered elsewhere. Three Bad Checks Laid to One Man. Glenn R. Welch, alleged forger, was arrested at Second and Burnside streets yesterday by Detectives Coleman and Know shortly after cashing three checks that are supposed to be bogus. Each check was for $20 and was cashed with a saloonkeeper. They were all drawn on the Humbolt Savings Bank of San Francisco, where, the police allege, Welch has no account. The checks contained no serial numbers and the date on one was missing. Lockers at Armory Are Robbed. Five 45-caliber revolvers, eight shirts, two hammers and a blanket were re ported stolen from lockers in the Armory some time Friday by Adjutant General George White yesterday. De tective Captain Baty assigned Detec tives Grism and Howell to the case. Jewelry and watches to the value of J 100 were taken from the store of Haakon Glascoe early yesterday morn, ing, the thieves smashing a plateglass window: In the front of the store, , Misses Elizabeth Chapin Winn. Much interest la being manifested in local German society in the coming vaudeville show to be put on by the junior members of the Portland Social Turn Vereln at the Deutsches Haus on the evening of May 9. The affair is to assist in raising funds to send a team to Colifornia to represent Oregon Turners at the world's turnfest to be held In July at the Panama-Paciric Exposition.
