Proposed special appropriations
totalling $386,400 will be faced by the
City Council when .It takes up con
sideration in about two weeks of the
municipal budget of proposed expendi
tures for 1916. With one week still to
go the members of the Council have
their proposed budgets nearly com
pleted. They are all due In a week
from tomorrow.
Although special appropriations ap
parently are being sought with a
rather lavish hand, the budgets wil all
show attempts at econoany. Except In
the police, fire and health bureaus and
the various bureaus of the Department
of Public Works salary increases are
few and far between. Many cuts in
tho number of employes have been made
and an attempt apparently has been
made to get everything In the way of
maintenance cost down to bedrock.
Salary Increases in the fire and police
bureaus are confined to the firemen
and policemen who are entitled to In
creases by reason of the. city's auto
matic Increase system on the basis of
length of service. In the health bureau
recommendation is made for Increases
to several employes, including Health
Officer Marcellus, Assistant Health
Officer Wolf and City Bacteriologist
Pernot. In the Public Works Depart
ment recommendations are made for In
creases to 32 employes.
Additional Fire Head Proposed.
In the fire bureau Mayor Albee recom
mends the employment of an additional
battalion chief to enable "Fire Marshal
Stevens to devote all his time to the
duties of that office. Mr. Stevens at
present holds the position of second
assistant chief, battalion chief and fire
marshal, which Is said by the Mayor to
be more than he can handle. In addi
tion to working on arson cases he Is
subject to call to all fires within a
large district.
Of much interest In the police bureau
is the request of the Mayor for five
runabounts for patrolmen to use In
policing the residence districts. The
Mayor says this will be a great
economy. Two men will be assigned
to each car and will discontinue- the
task of patrolling large districts on

do the work of 60 men. He plans to
concentrate these men whore needed
and to leave, the ten present vacancies
in the police fore open and at the same
time give much more adequate police
service at greatly reduced cost.
Klre Stations Desired.
Recommendations are made for three
new rtre station buildings. Two of
these were allowed for the present year,
but the money has not been spent be
cause of financial shortage. The main
one is $40,000 for the construction of a
new building In place of tho present

be $15,000 for a new building at Six

property. This is a new proposal. The
third is $10,000 for a new bunding to
take The place of the shack occupied
by the Sellwood company.
In the fire bureau provision is made
for $15,000 for a house for the men

FRITZ KREISLER.
T THE Hellig tomorrow night the
rare opportunity will present it
self to Portland people of hear
ing the world's greatest violinist, Fritz
Kreisler, In a programme which will
embrace many enchanting novelties
never heard in Portland before. There
will be splendor of contrast and mood
in the three big numbers, a Handel
sonata and a Tartinl fugue, both In A
major, and a brilliant Vlottt concerto
In A. minor.
Two groups of enchanting small
pieces, in which characteristic dances
of distinct and various national types
will predominate, will prove of fasci
nating Interest. The sparkling, piquant
gayety and Irresistible rhythm of the
Viennese: wild gypsy-like strains with
weird syncopations melting into elfish
laughter, and interspersed with the
lilt and contagious merriment of these
are lyrics of glamorous beauty, a folk
song, a Spanish serenade.
The exquisite grace of modulation
and rhythm that characterize all of
Krelsler's compositions Is shown In his
enchanting scherzo and In his arrange
ments of two Slavonic dances by
Dvorak and a song by Charainade.
There is a new valse by Godowsky
and an unfamiliar larghetto by Weber
of much beauty and grace. All of these
are to be given for the first time in
Portland, the only familiar number in
this group being one of Schubert's
"Momens Musical," whose lovely melody
can never grow old.
And to hear Kreisler play these It
recalls what a well-known critic said
of him in the Boston Transcript: "No
other violins so melts the listening
mind, ear, heart into a common pleas
ure, a sublimated and suffusing senu
ous delight. Before Krelsler's tone
listening becomes a spiritual faculty."

Commissioner Dieck has asked for
$27,000 for a paving repair plant. This
item includes a year's maintenance.
The city will get many miles of pave
ment to maintain next year and without
a municipal plant will have to spend
more than $10,000 for repairs. With
the plant Mr. Dieck estimates that the
work can be done for much less. He
figures the plant with all equipment
and a year's maintenance will cost the
city $17,300 deducting the $10,000 which
the city would have to pay for re
pairs.
Grade Elimination Included.
Mr. Dieck has included in his budget
a total of $130,000 for the city's share
of the elimination of grade crossings
along the line of the O.-W. R. & N on
the Kast Side. This includes' the en
tire cost to the city for everything,
including engineering and payment of
damages for property damaged by the
work. A part of the money, he says.

Health Bureau Wants Increases.
In the Health Bureau recommenda
tion has been made for $1200 a year
Increase for Health Officer Marcellus,
$200 a year for City Bacteriologist Per
not. $60 a year for Assistant Health
Officer Wolf and $60 a year for City
Physician Ziegler. Request is made
for one additional school nurse at $750
a year and one additional school in
spector at $600 a year. Recommenda
tion is made also that the free dental
clinic be employed half of every week
day instead of only on Saturdays. This
would involve an Increase of $310 a
year.
Commissioner Baker has cut his
budget to bare operating expenses
throughout. He asks for special ap
propriations for park improvements
amounting to $15,000. These are for
a wading pool at Columbia Park, light
ing systems at Holladay and Sellwood
parks, minor buildings at the Washing
ton Park zoo and a new bathhouse at
Sellwood Park. Mr. Baker has cut out
some employes. He has prepared a sup
plementary budget, in which he in
cludes items which have been asked
for by residents of various sections.
These include various park and play
ground improvements, which, Mr. Baker
says, are needed, but which he sub
mits to the budget committee without
recommendation. The total of the re
pairs, as proposed in this supplemen
tary budget, is $118,000.
Employment Bureau Omitted.
Mr. Baker has provided no appro
priation for the Municipal Free Em
ployment Bureau. Mr. Baker says it
will not be with his consent that the
bureau is continued, inasmuch . as it
is a failure. Salary items and items
for supplies, which have been in this
budget for years, are missing.
Mr. Baker has cut off cx-Park Su
perintendent Mische, who has been un
der contract with the city at $150 a
month for landscape architectural
services. He has also cut off one brick
layer and others, amounting to $2372
for the year.
In Commissioner Baker's supplemen
tary budget are various items, includ
ing $3000 for river bathhouses in South
Portland; $1000 for lighting Multnomah
Falls and general park improvements,
as petitioned, for by residents of viri
oui soctions
In the Water Bureau reductions are
made in the general maintenance costs.
The total budget for this department
is $107,000, as compared with $111,000
for the present year. The Street
Cleaning Bureau is virtually the same
as this year. Request Is made for one
automobile street-flushing machine.
Inasmuch as all the budgets are not
complete yet it is not possible to give
total expenditures proposed for the
entire service. It Is estimated, how
ever, that the total will exceed $3,
500,000 or nearly as much as was asked
for the present year. The total amount
allowed in the budget for this year
was $3,328,741.
Consideration of the budget will be
taken up by the Council in a series of
daily sessions In about two weeks.

"There are between 500 and 600 lit

"If we would get out and nourish and

be developing so rapidly that we
wouldn't have time to worry much
about whether or not other new in
