THE SUNDAY OBEGOJiTAUV FORTTiAXD, OCTOBER 31, 1915. STREET CLEANERS ARE HIT Owing to Rnle of Last to Come Be ing First to Go Prediction, Is That Transfers Will Be Made Between Departments. Tfo fewer than 75 regular city jobs and half es many more temporary la bor positions will fall into the discard December 1 reducing the city's payroll for next year between $75,000 and $100,000 and causing a general ehakeup of employee throughout the city serv ice, unless the City Council has a sud den change of heart -in the matter of ih-r.uttinir in the 1916 budget- That number of jobs already have been cut out and the worK is still incomplete. t io rt nfiRHlble to ascertain the exact number as yet owing: to the fact that a lump sum ot 4z,uuu in Bamnc was cut off Commissioner Dieck's de partment, which means that a long list of employes will have to go. The civil eervlce rule requiring the laying off r tiennla nn the basis of juniority in service will mean probably that the public works employes will be trans ferred In many instances to other city departments, taking the places of em ployes doing elmilar work, who have not been in the service as Ions as the public works men and women. An ex tensive municipal sha-keup is in the air as a result of this situation. Street Cleaners Cut Heaviest. The definite cuts of positions now filled total 53. Thirty-five of these are street cleaners, seven policemen, one health clerk, four Bchool medical In spectors, one school nuree. one assist ant water engineer, one water station ary engineer, two sanitary and market inspectors, one employe in the purchas ing department. In addition large cuts of labor forces have been made in all departments and a. list of other regu lar positions are held in the balance. The total difference in the city's pay roll next year will be probably be tween $75,000 and $100,000 if everything goes as proposed. Should the Council whack off all positions now questioned and others which are to be attacked the total amount cut for next year in salaries probably will exceed $100,000. This total does not include the amounts cut from proposed new positions and positions which are vacant at the pres ent time. Seven Policemen to Love Jobs. In the police bureau the number of men now working who will be dropped will be seven. They will be the last seven men appointed and include "Big" Tim Healy, who was given a position recently as a reward for his gallant service in capturing burglars in the Heights, on the West Side. Mr. Healy was shot during the encounter and was in the hospital for several months. The list of seven lAst positions in the police bureau are filled by Patrolmen C E. Staton.-. G. E. Richards. C W. nark, .O. A. -Powell. Earl L. Keyson, i. J. Korkan and T. J. Healy. There is some little interest being taken at the City Hall in the propo sition of why the majority of the Council, which has gone down the line for cuts, provided for the trimming out of the police budget only nine men instead of. 10, as originally planned. Two of the nine positions are vacant, leaving but seven men actually to be cut out. This takes out the list of last patrolmen appointed up to H. W. AVright. a close personal friend of Commissioner Bigolow. To have made the cut 10 men, as originally planned, would have taken Mr. Wright with the others. Street Cleaner Married Men. The names of the 35 men to be diopej from the stret-cleantng bu reau have not been ascertained as yet. They will, however, be the last 35 men appointed. These men have been em ployed in street-cleaning work at $3 a i-hil't of ciffht hours. The majority of thfrn, it is said, have families. The four school inspectors to be dropped are Dre. John Q. Abele, S. J. Payne. W. T. Stout and J. I. Manion, smd the school nurse is Bertha Squires. .Inst which of the sanitary and market Inspectors will be dropped is a ques tion. Two have been cut out. but City Health Officer Marcellns said yester rlay he did not know who they would e. One of the last two appointed is Market Inspector Melton, who is said y rr. Marcellus to-be doing work that 1s attracting city-wide notice. One of two young women clerks in the health bureau also must go. Both have de pendents. lnlrr-llrpurtmcnt Shift Likely. Just who will be let out in the pub lic works department Is not certain yet, but big cuts must be made. It is likely that the changes here will mean a general shakeup of the entire city service. The civil eervice rule is that employes shall be let out on the basis of juniority, the last appointed to be the first to go. There are many em ployes in the public works department who have been in the service longer than employes doing similar work in other departments. It i expected these public works people will take the places of employes in other depart ments. There is much uneasiness over the prospects- of the general shakeup, The work of trimming the 1916 budget is still under way. The next meeting will be held tomorrow at 3 o'clock. So far the budget has been trimmed down to the point where a tax levy of S.9 mills will suffice. This means $S.90 taxes for municipal pur poses on each $1000 of assessed valua tion as compared with $7.50 for the present year. The budget now is down lO f3.13G.S63.

WELCOME TO BE ACCORDED Post of Commander Is Won From Ranks, Various Positions Entail ing More - Responsibility " Be ing Held In Succession. Commander Eva Booth, leader of the Salvation- Army in the United States for 10 years, will arrive in Portland from San Francisco next Friday morn ing. She will speak at the White Tem ple, Twelfth and Taylor streets, at 8 o'clock that night on "My Life Work." Miss Booth is making her annual trip of inspection of Salvation Army headquarters in the west, fane is ac companied by Brigadier Richard Grif fiths,' of New. York. While in Port land she will stay at the Seward Hotel. Staff Captain J. W.

Miss Booth will leave for Seattle Saturday morning. v The fourth daughter of the late Gen eral William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, Miss Booth has been engaged in Salvation Army work all her life. Her first public speech was made on a chair in an open-air meet ing in one of the darkest slums of London. While in her teens she worked with her sister, the late Consul Booth- Tucker, then Miss Kmma $ootn, wno was in charge of the first training home of the organization. Although the daughter of General Booth, Commander Booth has risen to her present position from the ranks. She has held each title successively, from sergeant to commander. Her first appointment was to a large corps which was assailed by a storm of abuse and opposition,- which not only threatened the existence of the Sal vation Army, but even the lives of its adherents in that quarter. Every other house In the street in which the officers lived was a den of infamy. Captain Booth's first announcement was that she would be her own police man. For some time toughs had been in possession . of . the hall where the army held its meetings, despite the efforts of the police, but what the law could not do Miss Booth accom plished unaided. Within a few week she had worked a veritable revolution in the district and had won the respect and affection of the whole gang. Her last appointment in. England was as commander of the London Prov ince and principal of the International Training Home, in which dual posi tion she had about 21,000 Salvation Army soldiers. 600 officers and 300 cadets under her control. From there she received orders for Canada. After eight years of service there she became commander of the Salvation Army in the Lnited States.
