CONSIDER THIS ff 1 JOBS OF 42 EN IB Machines Recommended as Economical in Bureau of Street Cleaning. WET REDUCTION IS $27,135 Mr. Daly Criticised for Opposing; All Increases in Salaries In Other Departments and Then Get , ting Own Driver Raised. Sl'JIMARY OF WORK OF" CITV COUNCIL, TO DATE ON 191 BIDGET. Total amount asked for in all budgets. .83,448.139.39 Total amount elimi nated to date in alL budgets 158,522.73 Total amount remain ing in all budgets.. 3,289,616.66 Total amount allowed in budget for pres ent year . . 3,224,219.26 Bureaus considered so far Po- lice, fire, health, pound, street cleaning, municipal court and picture-censorship board. The jobs of 42 . laborers the men who sweep streets at night for $3 a .shift were lopped off by the City Council yesterday In favor of street cleaning machines. The action was taken upon recommendation of Com missioner Daly, who presented figures to show that the net savingr by using machines instead of men and horses will agreprate $27,135 for next year. As soon as Commissioner Daly won the Council over in favor of machines the Council proceeded to cut off every possible item which could be reduced by reason of the change. The total amount trimmed was $44,395. Added to the budget were items aggregating $17,259.60, which included $10,000 for two machines and $7144 for salaries of even men to operate them. The net number of men therefore who will be dropped by reason of the change will be 35. The seven who will operate the machines will receive $3.25 a day wages. It is not certain whether the men now in the bureau can do this work. Deduction from the amount cut In the budget, the amount added to it. the net saving is $27,135 in favor of the machines. Three Machines Gout 915,000. The plan is to buy three machines at $5000 each. One of these was pro vided in the budget and the other two wre put up to the Council by Mr. Daly afterward. The three will cost $15,000. In addition to taking the places of the 35 men, they will replace 42 horses. The city's forage bill for horses was trimmed $7,931.50. An item of $1350 proposed for purchase of new horses was cut out. In addition to the cuts made possible by the machines a total of $1733 was cut out of supply items for the street-cleaning bureau. Yesterday's budget meeting was marked by only one fuss. This came up when Commissioner Baker made a speech for economy. "Where is the money to come from?" he asked. "We ro permitting special appropriations and a Ut of expenditures which are getting us nowhere in the matter of reducing t h costs. Our pruning shears are dull. We are all saying "go to it, but we are making no headway. We are not giving these things serious enough consideration. I sat up until midnight last night trying to plan this thing and I can't see where we are getting anywhere." Mr. Baker and Mayor Hare Tilt. "What's the occasion for this speech at this time?" asked Mayor Albee. 'Im just trying .to make you realize the seriousness of - the situation," re plied Mr. Baker. I think we all realize," returned Mayor Albee, hotly. "We have some sense, I hope. Why don't you think we realize the need of cutting?" "Your actions don't show it re torted Mr. Baker. "We do claim to know something about budget-mnking, though," replied Mayor Albee. "This s preliminary and you should know it. We will prune and If we don't prune enough we can go back over it again and prune some more. I think you lack experience, Mr. Baker. The rest of us have pruned budgets before. "Your record doesn't show you have done much pruning in the past. I think I can show you some things you haven t learned in all your long expe rience." At this point Commissioner Bigelow rushed to the rescue and made a mo tion that the Mayor and Mr. Baker quit squabbling and get down to work. Favor. tlmm 1y Mr. Daly Asaerted. Mr. Baker later raised the question of the propriety of Commissioner Daly giving a salary increase to a chauf feur in the street-cleaning bureau. The raise wan granted at the session on Thursday. Commissioner Daly had voted w'th Commissioners Baker and Bigelow against Increases in the fire police, health, pound and other bureaus In his own bureau he switched and with the aid of Mayor Albee and Com mlssloner Dieck, got the rise for the chauffeur in his own bureau. "Ixok s to me like inconsistency." said Mr. Baker. "Tf you are going to raise one you should raise all. I can't see any reason for favoring this one man when you have turned down in creases for others who are receiving as small wages as this man. The proposition was passed over un aettled. Tt had been plant ed to take up the Water Bureau at yestprJaT's meeting, hut it was not reached before Commis slorer Dieck had to leave. Tt will be considered tomorrow, beginning at 1:30 o'clock. I.TYFI.Y TIMKS ARE PREDICTED I'ur trier Budget Sessions Expected to He More ISpicy Tively rows and other doings are In store for the city budget committee (City Council), commencing tomorrow when 1916 budget appropriations for several Important departments and bureaus not touched so far are sched uled for trimming. Rows, personali ties and denunciations are expected to assume greater proportions from now on than they have heretofore, which means considerable. The first bureau to be considered a the coming sessions will be the water bureau. Some of the Commissioners have their axes sharpened for clerk and inpectors and general expend! tures. This bureau will be the cause of much fuss, although the money to be appropriated is not & matter of taxa tion. but one of water rates.

A subject of discussion will be the proposed appropriation- of $130,000 for the city's share of the cost of grade- crossing eliminations on the 'Cast Side. The $130,000 is a big item, and, while the improvement is badly needed, there is going to be some controversy before the amount escapes a whack on the head with the meat ax. Commissioner Bigelow will come in for his end of the grief with his de partment of finance. - Here also some investigations have been made, and the economy hook may reach out and grab some of the employes there. In Mr. Bigelow's department are'the purchas ing bureau and the office of the City Treasurer. Explanations may suffice to keep part of the force intact, but, judg ing from the manner some of the Com missioners have been seeking informa tion of various kinds regarding these two governmental branches, there will have to be some tall explanations. Commissioner Baker will also be on the grill. He claims to have chopped down to the bone in everything. He has included in a supplementary budget items aggregating $118,000 which he says the Council can knife without taking a second look if such is the de sire. The same, Mr. Baker says, can be done with some other special items included in his regular - budget, al though in connection with . these he will ask that the Council at least take second look. It is likely that . when the Council finishes with all the budgets there will be a retracing of steps.- A second scanning of the estimates may bring even more disastrous results than the first, owing to the need for pruning on account of the status of the city's finances at present. CITY MUST PAY FOR PAVING Mr. l.a Roche Gives Opinion Re garding Ladd's Addition Question. The city finally is to be the loser in the long-drawn-out dispute as to who should pay the cost of paving around Central Park in Ladd's addition. Orig inally when the street was improved an assessment of $1 was made against the Ladd estate. Later this -was in creased to $600 because it was found that when the park was given to the city it had a provision that if a rail roud went through the tract the land would revert back to the estate. Xow City. Attorney La Roche has ruled that despite this provision the tract belongs to the city and the city is responsible for the assessment for the park's share of the paving "cost. This amounts to $1300. J. E. WERLEIN IN PULPIT Well-Known Fortlamler to " Preach Sermon In Hone Church Tonight. J. E. Werlein will be the preacher In the Hope Presbyterian Church pulpit tonight.

PORTLAND BEAUTY LAUDED Prominent; City and State . Workers Greet- Belated ' White liibboners. Party Hurries on Way to Re ception in San Francisco. Loganberry juice as a prohibition beverage received recognition yester day when the White liibbon special, bearing more than 200 members of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, arrived shortly after 3 o'clock in the afternoon at the Union Depot. As soon as the train pulled into the station the women each received a small bottle of the beverage that is soon to replace in this state the alcoholic liquors, and each left 20 minutes later with the bottle tightly clasped. The special was welcomed by half a hundred white ribboners from all over the state, and flowers in profusion were given each member of the spe cial party. The temperance workers are going from Seattle to the California expos! tlons, and report that the National convention at Seattle was one of the "best National conventions that has ever been held." One of the enthusias tic members of the party declared that "the convention was characterized by an unequalled delightful spirit and the most commendatory attitude displayed in the discussions of all questions con sldered." Scanty of Portland Delights. The visitors had the highest word of praise for the welcome that was ac corded them here yesterday and last week when the special was on its way to Seattle. They were delighted with Portland, its beauties, and they sensed the spirit of homely hospitality with which they were generously received." The special was 20 minutes late and. after members of the state societies of Portland welcomed and greeted friends of their home- states and after tern perance songs were sung." the women climbed aboard the special and sped on their way to California. Nothing of exceptional importance was considered at the convention just closed, but the women seem to be hope ful that National prohibition will be seriously considered at the next sitting of Congress. Plans for the carrying through of the. measure have been put under way. ... One of the results of the convention of which the women on the Coast are particularly proud is the election of Mrs. Margaret Munns. of Seattle, to the National treasurership. She is the first woman on the Pacific Coast to be thus honored. " i San Francises Reception Planned.

Committee la Contemplating Efforts to Obtain Funds for Additional Prlsea. IF THE Ad Club committee had doubt at first as to the extent to which school children throughout the state would enter into the $250 contest for the best song advertising the logan berry their doubts have been dispelled by the flood of songs that have been submitted from school children of all ages and in schools in every part of the state. So many excellent songs have been submitted that the committee is seriously contemplating an effort to obtain funds to enable the issuance of a fourth, fifth and sixth prize also, pro vided they can get the co-operation of the business men and others interested in boosting the loganberry business. It is planned to have a programme at the Chamber of Commerce after the songs have been judged, at which some of the prize-winning entries will be sung. Among the songs submitted thus far comes one from a 17-year-old boy at Silver Lake, the words of which, to say the least, are forceful enough. The committee has written the boy asking him if he can think of another rhyme for "Willamette." and he is to submit a tune to go with the words, in tne near luture.- His original song, in all its un- censored splendor, is as follows: Down In the Valley of the Willamette The people are temperate, you know; Tne breweries and saloons all muat ffO, For they bate booze and demon rum mo. They curse It, they hiss it. they damn It. Chorus On, damn it, Willamette! For booxe there is no excuse. But thoae who Insist in Its ue Just sive them loganberry juice. Down in tha Valley of the Willamette God planted out a vine, you know. Which has never yet ceafed to crow The brewers and ealoonmen hate it o. They curse It. they hiss it, they-damn it. Chorus Down la the Valley of the Willamette The loganberry has everywhere spread. Its vines alake thirst, the hungry are fed. And from splrltons drinks they are led. They eat it. drink It, sell It, can it. Chorus- Council Gets Proposal Wednesday. To open the way for paving. Tacoma OREGON PIONKKR OF DIES AT WARRK.V. 1853 . tfscen. ST. HELENS, Or., Oct. 16.
