ita broader jurisdiction and powers Inter
ceded and took over this task. We have
given-ouT aid in this work unrese'rvedl v'and
every department of the city. should continue
to rfo ' Rn.
War Activities Promoted.
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.
In connection with tha wnrw -f iha rif
health bureau T feel that the City Councl'
of the milk plants and dairies' furnlshin

The advent of the 6-ce-nt streetcar far ha
raised. a municipal problem which rhoul

demand from many sources for, a return of
tne jitneys. The voters took tho iitnvi
question into their hands at the last citv
election and, pawed a jitney bonding a- t
which apparently stands in the wav ofjit
ney service now. I favor the submission of
the "jitney question to the .voter juralti al
the special city election for May 17, 1918.

He holds that any further guard pro

expense of the municipality and the

Retrenchment Is Necessary.
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.
