REALTORS HAPPY
OVER ELECTION
Result Generally Regarded as
Stimulus to Market and
Guarantee to Investors. ,.
JOSSELYN HOME IS SOLD
A. P. Hcnnlngson Buys Beautiful
Kesidence Property Ikying' at
Head of Morrison Street,
on Mount Tabor.
Gicpt for the transferred ownership
of the former Josaelyn home In Mount
Tabor there were no Important realty
events In Portland last week, but lo
cal realtors and property, owners found
more sunshine and comfort In the elec
tion returns and In the announcement
of additional shipbuilding deals to
cheer them than they could have grained
from .dozens of deals.
The fact that the voters of Portland
have set their feet down definitely on
radicalism and Socialism and have
chosen officers pledged to the pro
tection and development of Industries
is interpreted by realtors and Investors
generally as a stimulus to the proper
ty market.
They say it will be easier hereafter
to attract Investments and new fac
tories to Portland and predict that the
Influence of the adoption of good roads
and grain elevator bond issues, to
gether with the other constructive leg
islation adopted at last Monday's elec
tion, will soon assert itself.
It developed last week that A. P.
Hennlngsen, of the Henningsen Pro
duce Company, and who Is a stockhold
er in the Hazelwood Creamery and
other wholesale produce firms of the
Pacific Northwest, has purchased from
B. S. Josselyn, former president of the
Portland Railway Light St Power Com
pany and unsuccessful candidate for
Mayor at last week's election, all of the
latter's interests in the beautiful resi
dence property at Bast Sixty-ninth and
Belmont streets, including fee simple
title to a portion of the grounds and a
heavy mortgage Interest against the
residence and the property immediate
ly surrounding it.
The entire holding embraces some
five acres of extensively landscaped
ground situated north of the Belmont
street carllne and of Mount Tabor
Park. The. residence itself was form
erly the Massachusetts state building
at the Lewis & Clark exposition and
was remodeled by Mr. Josselyn at a
cost of more than $15,000.
About 18 months ago Mr. Josselyn
sold his residence in a trade transac
tion but retained a mortgage on the
property to secure the completion of
the purchase price. The mortgage is
now past due and it is understood that
the rights passed by Mr. Josselyn to
Mr. Henningsen virtually convey full
title to the holding.
Mr. Henningsen and his family have
for the past year been renting the C.
B. Moore's residence property in Irv
' in g ton, but ' are planning to move to
their new Mount Tabor home as soon
as title to the property la cleared.
At the time .the Josselyn home was
sold 18 months ago, with the announce
ment that it was to be converted into
bachelor apartments, the consideration
was reported as $60,000. but the con
sideration in last week's transaction is
known to have been considerably below
that figure. The property is said to
be worth in the neighborhood of $40,
000. Contracts Let on $100,000 Cobbs Resi
dence. Contracts for the construction of the
proposed $100,000 residence to be
erected on Portland Heights for F. J.

been let by the architect, A. E. Doyle,
as follows: Masonry, J. M. Dougan
Company; carpentry, Trenchall & Pare

Stable and Barns to Cost $25,000.
Plans have been completed for barns
and a stable to be built at Seventeenth
and Overton streets for the Wells Far
go Express Company at an estimated
cost of $25,000. The proposed structure
is to be L-shaped with overall dimen
sions of 200 by 100 feet. A portion of
the building is to be two stories high
and of brick and wood material.
930,000 Permit Issued.

former stable property on the south
east corner of Fifth and Taylor streets,
obtained a building permit early last
week for the construction of the four
story garage building, plans for which
were first announced several weeks
ago. The probable cost of the struc
ture is given at $50,000. The plans
were drawn by Sutton & Whitney and
the general contract is in charge of

c
Specialists to Be Heard at National
Meeting at Milwaukee.
The tenth annual convention of the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards will be held In Milwaukee July
24, 25, 26 and 27. It will be a gather
ing of earnest business men, who will
consider business methods and condi
tions. '
The past two or three years have
brought a decided change in the char
acter of these conventions.- Formerly,
men well known Nationally either
spoke or read papers on matters re
flecting upon real estate, but perhaps
not definitely connected with it. Every
subject on the Milwaukee programme
will De a discussion of the modern
methods of service and how better to
handle the vast interest to get the best
results.
Leaders are being selected for the
discussions and will be men of par
ticular fitness, who have been leaders
in their special field. In fact, it might
better be termed an annual conference
than convention. Opportunity will be
given to study Milwaukee from an in
dustrial and commercial angle, as well
as from the development of housing.

BY BEN KIESLAND.
The waste of unnecessarv dunllon.-
tlon Is the main reef that threatens
modern business mariners. The wise
manager produces the greatest result
with the least expenditure of effort.
what is true in the operation of private
business must be true In the admin
istration of public affairs. One condi
tion, however, is not analogous, viz.,
in private business a man spends his
own money; in public business he
spends yours and mine. It therefore
behooves us to take an earnest interest
in these matters which, although under
direct supervision of others, still are
carried on with our - money.
ixo institution in our country is so
unprogressive as the county govern
ment. We are. to a great extent, using
the same forms, systems and offices
as were employed 100 years ago. The
old county government was never in
tended to handle the affairs of thicklv
settled communities. It is adapted to
rural districts where the cross-road
store and town hall are the centers of
publicity and civic affairs. Still It has
hung on until finally the cities of
this Nation are awake; insr to the folly
of carrying around a fungus growth
mat oeiorms otherwise intelligent
features.
Other Cltlea Consider duestloa.
Nearly every great city of our Union
is considering the matter seriously.
New York. Philadelphia. St. Louis,
Boston, Denver, San Francisco and
Los Angeles have already eliminated
the unnecessary duplication of city
and county government. Why should
we be burdened with a Sheriff and his
multitude of deputies when we have
an efficient Police Department? Why
should we have an antiquated Board of
County Commissioners when we have
an up-to-date City Commission? Why
should we support a Count;' Clerk
when the City Auditor could do the
work much better? Why must we pay
for the figure-had of a County Treas
urer when we have a City Treasury
with highly developed departments?
Yhy should we keep on paying: for a
County School Superintendent when
the work is directly within the hands
of our City School Superintendent?
We have 93,611 registered voters in
the County of Multnomah. Only 4715
of this number are registered in pre
cincts outside of the city. why must
we still continue to keep up an ex
pensive system of machinery in the
shape of county government for the
benefit of this four ninety-thirds of
our electorate population? The' air of
progress is surcharged with movements
to eliminate unnecessary burdens and
to diminish the tax payer's load.
At Monday s election we wisely de
cided that separate city and county
elections were unnecessary. Extrava
gance always results when forces
acting along parallel lines, are not
united. Our present cumbersome
methods result in many freak situa
tions. Road Troubles Outlined.
Hard surface within the city, under
existing conditions, cannot readily be
obtained to connect with our beautiful
county boulevards. Dedicated streets
outside of our city limits, pursuant to
an old established precedent, will not
be improved by our County Commis
sioners. Our county roads are con
tinually subjected to the unnecessary
expense of regrades and the taxes as
a result keep piling higher.
Henry Reed, our present County
Assessor, tells me that there are 64
taxing agencies within the t-ounty of
Multnomah, viz., the Port of Portland,
one; separate cities, four; road dis
tricts, three; union high school dis
tricts, two; local school districts, 64.
Think of It. 64 taxing agencies cover
ing an area of 340 square miles where
one agency could do the work of all
64 in a -far more intelligent manner.
The same condition prevails in other
places..
The city of San Francisco has the
distinction of being the pioneer of the
consolidation movement. In 1866.
prompted by its corrupt and compli
cated government, this city, by the aid
of its historic vigilance committee, ob
tained relief by eliminating many un
necessary duplications of offices and
officers and their henchmen.
Realty Board Called Upon.
Much work Is necessary to weld Into
a comprehensive and rational form the
scattered units of government which
we are now supporting in Multnomah
County. I believe the result is worth
the effort and I believe further that
the Portland Realty Board is the
proper agency to father and back this
movement. What a grand city Mult
nomah County would mike!. There
would be none other Ilka it in the
world.
Our industrial condition is budding
Into the perfect bloom of a thoroughly
modern manufacturing center. Let us
clinch our hold upon these-natural ad
vantages by giving our city a low tax
rate and vast boundary commensurate
with its natural greatness.

FAMILIES LEFT IN DIFFICULTY
OFTEN BY DEATH OF HUSBANDS
System of Caring for Dependents in Illinois Is Discussed by Judge Cutting
in Address Before Insurance Underwriters.
BT LIFE INSURANCE EDITOR.
COINCIDENT with the investigation
of the high cost of living and the
scarcity of coal in Chicago, Judge
Charles S. Cutting, a prominent mem
ber of the Chicago Bar, purposely dis
regards conditions as they are and
points to the greater difficulties which
almost, unvariably befall widows and
dependent children after the death of
the husband.
"Some of the saddest things that
have come to my knowledge." said
Judge Cutting, in addressing the Chi
cago Association of Life Underwriters,
'are those which show the widow and
the family perhaps honestly Intending
to retrench and to get within their In
comes and come down to a style of liv
ing which is commensurate with the
amount of money that is coming an
nually into the coffer, and to see how
terribly it wrenches that family.
"Now. the law of the state of Illi
nois, like that of all other states, I
take it. in one way or another takes
cognizance of that fact, and takes cog
nizance still further of the fact that
there necessarily is an Interval after
the death of the father, the husband,
the head of the family, during which
the family Is practically chaotic, when
the great sorrow that has come to the
widow in the loss of her husband and
to the children in the loss of a father
has left them practically unable to do
anything, or even to plan for the
future.
"So our statute provides that when
a man die leaving a widow or chil
dren, there shall be set off to them
what is known as the widow's award,
or the child's award, and that shall not
be less in any case than 600, and it
shall be increased in accordance with
the station in life.
"That award, while in a sense a
claim against the estate, is a preferred
claim, and is payable before anything
else except only the costs of adminis
tration and the funeral expenses.
"But where a will is to be probated
it takes at least three or four weeks
to prove the will, because the law pro
vides that there must be at least three
weeks' notice by mailing to each one
of the heirs, legatees and devisees un
der the will a copy of the will, before
the court has Jurisdiction to take up
the question and either admit it to pro
bate or deny it admission.
"After that the executor, if he quali
fies, or the administrator if there be
no will, must file an inventory and
have an appraisement made of that
portion of personal property which is
subject to appraisement, and have this
widow's award set off, and all those
papers must come to the Probate Judge
and be approved and admitted to rec
ord. Then, if there is cash on hand,
that money may be used on this
widow's award, and then, for the first
time after the passing of two or three

s
months, she begins to get something
from the estate.
"That Is the first time, then, that
she can get out of the estate proper
any money legally advanced to her.
and If it happens that there isn't any
cash in the estate, then there is the
further delay necessary upon the sale
of securities, and perhaps the sacrifice
of them at a time when it is unde
sirable to sell them. Something must
be converted into cash In order to
supply the needs of the widow and the
family. And worse still. If there be
scant persona property, you must sell
real estate, and still longer delay fol
lows, so that six months or a year
would be the least time within which
you could get matters in shape to have
claims allowed, find a deficit, sell
your real estate to pay that deficit,
and In that way convey title and get
money. All these forced sales by
order of the court In nine hundred and
ninety-nine cases out of a thousand
sacrifice more or less, the property
which is thus brought under the ham
mer. So that the whole process, while
necessary and inevitable in these cases,
means much delay in the first instance,
in the next instance brings about sac
rifice of assets, and in the third in
stance, if there be many debts, is
wholly inadequate to do the thing
which the law intended should be done.
"Again and again I have had widows
come into the chambers of the Pro
bate Judge, and with the tears which
cannot be kept back in talking about
business matters at such times, they
have sobbed out their financial diffi
culties and asked the judge to find a
way so that they can help themselves
out of the mire Into which their ca
lamity has plunged them. The first
question that the Probate Judge
finally learned to ask was, 'Have you
any life insurance?" If the widow an
swered in the affirmative, she was
always told. 'Make your proof of loso,
and get your money from your life in
surance, and live on that, and reim
burse yourself later, if possible, out
of the allowance which the law will
tardily give you when the time comes
that your allowance is ripe for use."
Judge Cutting then discussed cer
tain phases of the law in relation to
legal rights of widows and their chil
dren, and in concluding his address,
said: "Therefore those of us who have
been brought into connection with that
sort of thing have learned through It
to appreciate, perhaps sentimentally,
but nevertheless practically, the value
and the use and the beneficent purpose
of well-placed life Insurance, because
if there ever is an opportune thing
coming to the widow in the time of her
need, it Is this very thing, which
seems to have been invented for the
express purpose of bridging over the
awful gulf which lies before her ap
parently unfathomable and uncrossable
at the time of the death of the head of
the household. That is what one who
haa been placed In the position that I
have has learned about life insurance."
