ABOUT KIJSANCIAX. CRISIS. . By meeting bond interest and continuing forces as . at present the defici December' 1 in the general fund will be $8,675. Balance in general -fund at the same date last year,. $844,060. - Amount necessary to run city from December- 1 to March 1, $710,000. Amount of taxes to be received between December- 1 and March 1 estimated at 70,00O. Amount required to run the city each month, $235,000. ' Only action city can take for the period from December 1 to March 1 with depleted treasury is not to pay employes and not to pay for supplies -or purchases. Checks cannot be issued without money to meet, them in the treasury. Regardless of what might be done between now and December ' 1 in the way. of "cutting down the city's ex penses, there will be a period of several weeks between December 1 and March 1 when the city will be without funds. It will have no money to pay its em ployes and none to pay for its pur chases of supplies and materials. No warrant can be issued and no note of indebtedness can be- given for pur chases or salaries, and no money can b borrowed. ' . f This is one Of the most serloua con ditions the present administration has had to deal with. It has been brought to the Council's attention- by City Auditor Barbur, who has completed a check of the city's books. Too great a cut in the city's tax levy for this year Is the direct cause of the short age. The cut In levy was the work of Commissioners Bigelow and Daly and ex-Commissioner Brewster, and was made in spite "of a warning about the danger of such a cut in face of the loss of liquor-licenserevenue in 1916. , S48.675 Deficit la Kxpected. According to the Auditor's report there will be a deficit of $48,675 in the general fund on December 1, provided that the payroll of the city remains as it is now, appropriated money, is expended and the city advances $80, 000 to meet the interest on outstanding improvement bonds. If it does not , meet this interest the city's bond credit will be sacrificed. Counted in as cash in the general fund as it stands at present is $58, 000 worth of cordwood, which the city has offered for sale. If this ie not eold the deficit will be increased by Just-this much, making a total deficit of $106,000. Provided forces are cut and appro priations heW down it is possible that the deficit can be wiped out and the city can come out. even December 1. Possibly such a saving can be made that there, will be a balance of $100, 000 or so. This can only' be done by retrenchment to an extent neves, be fore attempted by the- ' Depletion Inevitable. After doing all this the city could not get away from the depleted treas ury, for it will be impossible to get sufficient money to carry the payroll and other expenses over the three months. For six or eight weeks 'all payments will have to be suspended. Between December 1 and March 1 the city in -the past has been financed by the balance in the general fund. A year ago the balance was $844,000. The levy was trimmed to. the bone for the present year, with the result that in sufficient money was raised. The year-end balance is gone and there will be no way of making up for the loss. The taxpayers got the benefit of a slightly reduced tax levy for the present year, but this will be more than made up in the next tax levy. On March 1 the first of the taxes be come due and the treasury will . be filled. Then back payments can be made and the city will be on Its feet again. But in the meantime will come the period when the city will be -embarrassed.

John R- Latourette, attorney for Mrs. ilaeoon. has returned from. Los An geles, where he was prepared to defend her against Sprecker's suit: The suit grew out of t an engage ment alleged to have been contracted in Portland. Mrs. Magoon did not deny that ahe had been engaged to Sprecker, but rested her case on the Inalienable right of a woman to change her mind. On July 14, when the trial was ' scheduled to start, Sprecker failed to appear In the court room and his attorney; dismissed the charge. ' . BY F. L. BKELDOX. -TOLEDO, ,0., July 23. (Special.)-U-. "Who is that man?". -. You are going to ask the question one day soon. The chances' are about six to one you will add: . ' ? "I've met him somewhere, but-1 can't place him." , Tout friend will turn hia eyes to the direction yours point out, and here is what both of you will eeef - ' A short, rather, heavy-set man, the keenness of whose air and the brisk ness of whose walk- will counteract' any. suggestion of ' overweight. ;.A smartly dressed man? every detail of whose costume is perfect and a part of. a quietly harmonious whole. A' man with sandy hair and close-trimmed mustache, a. strong chin, a deal eye and a mouth that, though firm, seems to hold a hint of a ready smile; a man, in short, who is conspicuous -without being "loud." . ' '. Type, la American Bui-eaa Man. You will not know him nor will your friend. He will come to Portland from a trip across the continent. The fa miliar air of him will be due to the fact that he runs 'so true to a type at which the country aims the Ameri can business man. , George E. Hardy is his name. He will be new to Portland, but -not a stranger. For he is the recently ap pointed manager of the Portland Cham ber of Commerce, and he comes with a record for practical effort and high efficiency. They all call him "George" in Toledo, his former home, and they say he is a dreamer and a doer, too." - George Hardy was born In a small country town, Swanton, near, loieao. He early corrected this mistake of na ture, however, by accompanying his parents, at the precocious age or 3 years, when they removed to Toledo. And he has lived in Toledo ever since: He doesn't boast of it. but it is a fact that since he adopted the Northwest Ohio metropolis that', city has prac tically quadrupled its population and, with 225.000 people, it has. become the third railroad center of-the' Nation. Co-operative- Effort Boosted. 1 Born March 2, 1870. Hardy imbibed what education he could from - Toledo schools and business colleges. Then he took a. post-graduate course in the University of Hard Knocks, accumulat ing about all the degrees of practical experience sprinkled along the course, he came out an inveterate optimist, a habitual booster and a devotee of or ganization , and co-operative effort. His business -career in Trfledo has been markedly successful, th&ugh equally marked for its lowly origin. In 1S86. a youth of 16, he put in his time around the Toledo waterfront be cause his family was interested in har bor tugs. Within a few weeks . he found his berth as cook on the tug Pathfinder, working his way uo to captain and receiving a pilot's licfenee in 1891. In the interim, however, he had associated, himself with a ship chandler as sale-man on the ' marine end. He sold and delivered supplies first with a rowboat and later, with a tug he built. '-'.-- After nine years of the water. Hardy plunged back Into' the city .as local salesman for the Toledo Rubber. Com pany, a posrtion he held until June, 1898, when he started in business for himself. Then it was that his passion for organization developed into a. fine art. He launched the Sand & Supplies Company, Ltd., of Toronto; the Ohio Michigan Sand & Gravel Company, the Hardy & Dischinger Company and the Hardy Paint & Varnish Company, be ing still head of the-last two named. Two Orcanlzndona Merged. Toledo then had two big commer cial organizations, . the .-Chamber of Commerce and the Business Men's Club. The former represented largely the older and "more established bus! nesses of the city.. The: latter was composed mostly of-thji ywunger busi ness men. There was rivalry;; and no little feeling, between the two." Hardy was a member of the Business Men's Club and. for four years, on Its board of trustees. - In 1910, however, he associated him self also with the Chamber . of Com merce and was instrumental in bring ing about a merger of the two organ izations, June 1. 1911, as the Commerce Club. He was made- vice-president and the new organization has been wonderful factor In the growth and prosperity of Toledo ever since. Mr. Hardy s devotion to his family is one of his striking characteristics. He was married on June 20. 1S93, to Miss Emma" Logan, of Saginaw, Mioh. Two children, a son. N'orris L, aged 20, and a daughter, Sylvia Ruth, aged 5. nave resulted from the union. Mrs. Hardy is one of the city's most pom- iar women. She is a raemebr of the Woman's Educational Club, the city's strongest-, woman's organization. Norris, the son, has been in ill health for the past two or three years. Mr. Hardy sent him to Oregon, where he is rapidly regaining his health. Hoodoo Number Figure. If George Hardy were superstitious. his appointment as secretary of the To ledo Commerce Club and. later, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, would fill him with misgivings. The hoo doo number, 13, figures In both. He was appointed to the Toledo position on January 13, 1914. He waa appoint ed to the Portland position on July 13, 1915. But Mr. .Hardy's only supersti tion Is that it is unlucky to be superstitious- To prove it, he accepted the Portland offer on Friday, July 16, 1915. One of,tho big achievements in which Portland's new citizen played a prom- aent part in Toledo waa the develo frtg of that . city's harbor. He can Justly Ijjy claim to a generous fhare of credit in procuring for the Ohio city the vreatest harbor on the Great Lakes chain, a harbor with a channel 400 (wt wide and a depth of 21 feet, large enough to accommodate .the largest veraoln th.it ply America's Inland sea. If Hardy ever boasted, he would refer to this, for his love of things maritime has remained with him from tho youth h spent on and about the waterfront. HI one hobby today If one excepts organization and civic progress motorboatlng. His knowl edge of lnke shippintr will prove an added equipment for the problems he will tackle In Portland. Toledo Keela Intaa. When George Hardy leaves Toledo for Portland, be will be more than missed by one organization which he created. This la the Lucas County Im provement Association, a body of both :ny ana country men formed to farther he Joint Interests of both. It is prob iblythe first of Its kind in the coun- :ry. ' Both city business men and farmers, are pnlhiiNimr ir-.n v r nw it each having their separate organisa tions witn delegate representatives In the central body. The organization la new. but lusty and certain to accom- pnsn practical resulta. lolt.lo business men deelare that Mr. Hardy's new duties will mean Ta. edo's loss and Portland's gain. He ts t dynamic force, an enihu.. u- k n works with a muffler on that does wot impair his speed. He makes the civic organization at whose desk he stands pulsating factor, a worklnr ore. nl. zatlon for municipal and county Prog ress. He believes In the thenrv r.r tempting many thins-s anrf rrrinin.. , n fall In anything. . Portland will like George Hardy. He Is. as- one Toledo puts It. A real human being." And that's going some! NEW MANAGER OF PROMISING CHAMBER OF COMMERCE SEES FIELD FOR , PROGRESS. BY CBORGB - K. HARDY. MANAGER ELECT BER OF COMMERCK. TORTIiAMI CHAM- 4 . 4 ' 4 I have visited Portland 'on two occasions. -The -first time in" De cember, 1913, and again in May, 1915. Never have I been in a city with a population of 250.000 to 400.000 with a more substantial and metropolitan appearance. '.Its down town section is impressive, and a glance at the figures " indicating bank balances of $75,000,000 is indicative of Portland's standing as a banking and commercial . center. .'" Its residence districts are 'exceedingly attractive, and during sev eral months of the year the beauty of the city Is muqh enhanced by the most beautiful roses I have ever seen, and which grow in pro- fusion. - ' .", I will find it a difficult task to leave the City of Toledo, in which I have lived for 42 years and in which I have so many relatives and . .life-long friends. I have greatly enjoyed my 18 months as secretary "' of the Toledo Commerce Club and the several years' previous work In ' connection with the club and ita predecessors. It has been a source ,of great happiness to me to serve tho community In tnUi manner. In Portland, and the work in connection with ." the--Chamber of Commerce. thVre Is a field of endeavor that, should bring joy tothe heart of any 'man who loves work; any man -who hfvf a real conception of the Joy of service. A state-Wide field and a Chamber" of Commerce with more than 4000 memberships, in which there is an active interest in the progress and development of the city'and state. What an op portunity! I have' been assured. that the .several departments of the Chamber of Commerce are well organized and that hearty ' co-opera-. tion and loyalty are pledged to me as the manager of the organisation. . I am sure that such an organization- can ,go through with any thing it undertakes to do. Just what, will be undertaken 'as the first work of importance I would not attempt to say and will wait until I have been on the ground long enough to make a survey Qf. both the organization and the work that needs to be done. One of the depart ments of tho Chamber Is the Oregon Development Bureau, and it seems to me that agricultural extension work is all important to Oregon, More farmers and fruitgrowers and more products of the aoit would mean much to state and city; The basic industry is lumber, and Portland should Vim to make . everything that can be made and marketed from the timber, which can be had In abundance. . . Portland's great harbor should make her people ambitious to fos ter and "encourage In every manner possible the' building o a great, commerce. " 1 '."''' T V Portland is a solid, substantial city in which conservatism predom inates. The Inflation and boom spirit Is not so prevalent In Port land as in other cities of the Coast territory. I was favorably lm- pressed with the people I met In Pprtland and I am certain we will, like Portland and we hope Portland will like us. 4 -4 -4 aV JEWELERS TO CONVENE RETAIL ASSOCIATION TO MEET IN PORTLAND ON AVGIST S.

Present Administration Not Blamed for AH Increases In Number of Ijnploj es Decreases Noted In Some Departments. Whatever may be said about the benefits of commission government In Portland, as administered by a Mayor and four Commissioners, for two years and one month past, no claim of econ omy in salary rolls can be made. Rec ords at the City Hall disclose the fact that so far this has been an adminis tration and a government of more Jobs. To enumerate the actual number of new Jobs would be a hopeless task ow ing to the fact that the titles of po sitions and the general arrangement of the municipal department was shift ed about. Actual and positive compar isons between the old and the new are Impossible. Dozens of fancy-named po sitions appear on the books now which are nothing more than new names for old positions. They are filled by the same men. with possibly an Increase in salary. Dozens of the old tttlcs so common then, exist no more. 175 New Joba Are Created Eliminating all of thre positions that would appear to be new through the change In name and t. tabulating only those positions actually created and the additions made to the city forces there is a list footing up 175. One hun dred and seventy-five new Jobs in two years and one month involving a pay roll of about $15,000 a month. Is the record. This does not Include the in crease In the salary roll provided for Commissioners by the charter Itself. . The commission charter, as adopted by the voters in 1913. provided at the outset for a total Increase of $1391 a month In salaries of Councilman. Under he old system, the salary roll was $'5 a month, made up of 1400 a month for the Mayor and 4 -4 a month each for 15 Councllmen. Now It la fjOO a month for the Mayor and $1666 a month for four Commlssnonrrs. In a year this mounts to $:.0J0 for the Commis sion Council, aa romjared with I.TOO for the old Council, an increase of $16.- 0 a year. These high salaries and the new Jobs created by the Council have been a big factor In bringing about the shortage of city funds that La now Impending. So m e Korceo Are llerreaaes. The additional 175 Jobs and the $13,. 000 pay roll is offset to an extent by the abolition of positions and the rut ting of force In sonie parts of the serv ice. However, this does not make any great difference in tho general total, for thero have been but few employes dropped through abolition of position. They have been transferred to some other part of the service to fill new positions or additional positions or they appear on the pay roll under some new title. The $15,000 total Is offset some also by reason of the fact that sosne of the employes listed are temporary only, and others work by the "lay and will not work every day In the year. These have been credited with -i days a month In the compilation, bringing about the $15,000 total. Some rmployes have actually been dropped through abolition or suspen sion of position. To this extent, the new pay roll is offtet. .The present officials are not entirely responsible for the entire increase. When they took charge of affairs, in July, 1913. there were new positions whit-h had to be creaed and ruled, sucn as a crew for the new ttreboat: men for several new fire stations, and a few other cases of this kind. larreaaea Each lear frhawa. But deducting all' of these there re mains, a staggering list. Men have been added in many Instances to do work never before attempted by the city, such as traffic surveys, bench level surveys, peninsula aewer district surveys, curb corner cutting, motion picture censorship, police inspection, public defender. Jitney Inspection, meat inspection and the like. In many other Instances the additions have been for enlargement of the work done on a small scale under the old form of gov ernment. Payroll acccounts as well as the civil service records show how the list of employes and the annual payroll have gone up each year with leaps and bounds. In 1911 there were 14M em ployes under civil service. In 1912 there were 16S6. In 1913. the year the Commtssison took charge, the number Jumped to 1817. Tn 1914 there was still another Jump to ls56 and In My of tho present year the payrolls show a. total of 1945. These totals do not Include the health bureau or the legal bureau, both of which are not under civil service. The health bureau now has 39 employes and the legal bureau 11. Total Paroll Showa Oeereaae. .' The Increases have been In spite of the fact that there has been far less public Improvement and far less In the way of municipal building. There has. however, been a great deal more In the way of inspection, hre pro tection. Investigation, record making, map drawing, report writing and the like. The comparative figures between the public works department as it existed in 1913. before commission government and the present show a decrease in the total payroll. It Is shown, however, that there are a number of position now which did not exist then. These Involve a monthly payroll of $1028. It is shown that the average paid employes In this department la $3. OS more for each employe now than the salary in 1913 before commission gov ernment. The average for all em ployes then was $92.46 a month. Now It is $91.54 a month. Several New laitloaa Dropped. 1 In this department there are many new positions, such as chiefs of bu reaus. These are changes in title only in most cases, involving no addi tional men, but In many cases involv ing increased salaries. These in creases are largely responsible for the average silary scale for the depart ment being; higher than formerly. In addition to the new positions now existing there have been several created whit-h have been dropped when experience showed them to be useless. For Instanc. there was an Information clerk at the City Hall for a time: two meat inspectors, who were dropped temporarily when the meat ordinance waa thrown into the courts: an attor aey . to codify ordinances and some others. Following la a table showing how the city's salary roll has Increased in four years: rrlvat ecriary.
