A war emergency council, with member ship from organizations throughout the city, nas been established 'to co-ordinate war ac tivities, eliminating duplication of work, pre venting fraud, wider the gufoe -of .patriotism a-nd assisting in keeping Portland in the front rank In meeting war needs and 1f sus The response of all classes to aid in this important work has been gralylng. Aside from war work the city has prob lems of various sorts to meet. Strict law enforcement has been a policy established on an impartial basis. It is my purpose, and I have had full co-operation from th coun cil, to enforce reasonably every, law adopted by law-making bodies, including the voting public. This policy naturally has met wiih opposition from some source hur t.i nnli.a A have been entirely faithful in the perform ance oi tneir outte and I believe the policy has been carried out. I ouly urge in tin respect that the law-abiding public give th law -enforcing authorities the "full-hearted, co-operation which is necessary if laws aro to be carried out Impartially. As far . this administration Is concerned a law Is a law until it is n unified bv tlia courts or r- pealed. Health Bulletins Approved.

Retrenchment in local ' street, sewer and other improvements is one policy whicb should be ironclad. The council and the public should hold In abeyance all such work as is not absolutely necessary. The year 1918 should be a 12 months of "main tenance only" so that further indebtedness be not contracted at this time and so that labor may be available for more Important work. This policy already has resulted in vast curtailment and reductions of expendi tures and should not be lost Eighty or in the future. The demands on the taxpaying public are great, owing to the necessity of supporting the Xation financially and contributing funds for the comfort, protection and welfare of the men In the military forces." Curtail ment of activities by all local governmental agencies city, state and county will be of material-aid in relieving this burden. . War Work Must Be Poshed. . War work Is the big outstanding feature to be borne in mind by the public and by the city. It is the duty of capital and labor alike to bend every effort to keep harmoniously at the task of pushing war work, and particularly shipbuilding. This big new industry has passed successfully through Its infant period of trials and troubles and is now on a good- working basis and should continue so. Shipbuilding in au interest vital .to the Nation at this time and essential to the industrial welfare and development of Portland' now and in I the future. Summarising- the war work activities of the city during the past year, X- find that much has been accomplished. First, utmost precautions have been taken to safeguard soldiers and sailors visiting Portland. 'An endeavor has been made, and will be con tinued. to -rid' the community of diseased women of the underworld. A temporary de tention home for the housing and treatment of such cases has been established on, a semi -penal basts. A permanent home la to be built as soon as possible. - - City Has Direct Control. An ordinance has. been passed licensing rooming-houses, hotels and lodging-houses, thereby bringing them'under direct control of the City CounpH. This measure opens the way for ridding the city of houses of ill fame to a greater extent. I believe, than has been possible under any other system proposed or employed heretofore. An Important undertaking of' the year was the promotion of lot gardening. The city, aided by .several organizations. did good work in encouraging the cultivation of vacant lots, resulting in the production of much food and the beautifying of the city. The programme should be enlarged at once tor tbe year mm The city allowed th rfllfv tha 4pIIv ahmiM aectma l&oi.w. iha soldiers. frae for the service for which thpv enlist. - This increase In the police force still leaves Portland's force the smallest of any .city in the - country, population and area considered. - - Housing Question Important, The housing question Is one whfrh must be given municipal as well as public at tention. We are faring a big influx of workers for shipbuilding plant and othor industries, investigations disclose the fart that the city is running short of dwellings and must give attention to this situating immediately. I urge the co-operation of tha City Cduricil in the moves being started now ' by civic organizations, which' moves should 'be coordinated and pushed .alone constructive, unified lines. I am at this time preparing to appoint a. commission to take up this problem. During 1917 . the Public. Auditorium was completed and opened for operation. The value of the building for pubHc purposes has been-well demonstrated -since-then and. It is very apparent that the city made no mistake in erecting such . a structure. It has met a very, important demand, furnish ing a good place for public mass meetings of all sorts, as well as a place where big musical events, land shows, theatricals, au tomobile shows, etc., can be staged. The building has been operated on a very economical basis, as may be seen from com parison of operating costs with receipt. The dne big need of the building now isj a manager. For economic reasons tho Mayor's office has been managing the build ing, and It has been impossible to &lve the time and attention necessary. If is but matter of time before a manager will have to be selected. .. Future eds .

Thatthe Council conserve every cent pos sible in order that unexpected emergencies may ne met ii necessary ana mat tne rata ot taxation may be reduced. That the Council ask the Portland War Emergency Council to prepare plans at once for a vigorous campaign to encourage and aid cultivation of vacant lots and that the city extend, the free use of water for irri gating purposes. That a special city election be called for May 17, coincident with the slate primary election, at which the public may enact leg islation, necessary .to enable the city to fi nance delinquency in street and sewer as sessments. That steps be taken to determine the "ex act financial Bta.tus of the City Water Bu reau under the present water' raijsa, an a safeguard for the future. . Traffic Problem Urgent. That steps be taken at once to revise tha city's 'traffic ordinance, correcting dt-.fecia and providing means of better handling of traffic problems. That steps be taken as soon as practicable to index the dockets containing Council records so that records pertaining to past transactions may be found readily without the need of exhaustive search, euch as is necessary now. ,"That moves now being made to solve the house shortage problem be co-ordinated and pushed in one constructive and unified way so that dwellings may be provided in the shortest possible time for the incoming workers and so that Portland may be ab!a to obtain a part of the Federal Government s appropriation for this purpose. -That -.the Health bureau bulletin, discon tinued a year ago, be re-established and pub Hshed periodically, -giving-'public, 'informs tion on such subjects as the sanitary ratings of milk plants and dairies. That a manager be provided for the Pub lie Auditorium. " Oakland Capitalist Dies.
