housing programme through a misun
derstanding in Washington, D. C. mem
bers of the executive committee de
clined to take action yesterday to bring
about the erection of the headquarters
building at Fourth and Stark streets.
The expected telegram from A. Mer
Tltt Taylor, director of housing and pas
senger transportation for the Emer
gency Fleet Corporation, failed to ar
rive from Philadelphia, and those In
charge estimated that Portland's hous
ing undertaking had. as a result, been
delayed one week.
Mr. Taylor, who wa In Portland
several weeks ago, waa appealed to
Friday by J. B. Kerr, secretary or the
Housing Company, and Mayor Baker,
president of the company, to set de
partmental heads in Washington right
on the local situation.
Cottage Rellis Surprises.
The ruling that cottages erected dur.
Ing war time must be occupied by war
workers waa a surprise to Portland
business interests who are co-operat-Ing
In an effort to supply home for
people coming here to engage in war
work.
Hundreds of families who have been
crowded from former homes by people
engaged in war industries are in search
of bouses, and the Housing Company
beads feel It la as much the city's duty
to accommodate these people as it la to
look after the comfort of men work
ins in the shipyards.
Applications continue to pour in at
headquarters from Portland residents
who desire to erect homes, and one of
the more hopeful indications yesterday
was the request for permission to erect
a number of apartment-houses.
Owners of dwellings have applied,
also, for a permit to remodel their
places and convert them into apart
ment-houses.
Trust, Mar Help Build.
Among the applications for permits
for new houses are a number from
workers In war industries, who ask the
company to furnish the lot and the
shell of the house, permitting the ten
ants to put on the finishing touches
in their leisure hours. It is probable
this plan will be followed to some ex
tent.
Members of the executive committee
of the housing company are depending
on Executive Secretary Kollock. of the
State Council of Defense, to facilitate
the work of securing a blanket permit
from Washington for the erection of
the homes. Mr. Kollock has already
sent a number of telegrams to ash-
tngton. but bad received no reply up to
last night.
By Monday it is believed certain some
word will have been received from
Washington, but until definite informa
tion is at hand as to what course the
Government intends to pursue there
will be little activity by Portland in
terests.

There were 80 delegates from different parts of the state In attendance at the Bend conclave, IS of them

Mr. Taylor's death occasioned the pos tponement of further business.

L. D. Freeland, W. G. Shellenbarger, R. L Schemp, T. H. Banfield, James F. Robinson, R. D. Robinson, W. W. Young

SEWER ASSESSMENTS IX WAR
TIME DECLARED TOO MUCH.
George Clongh, of Arlington, Pro
poses to Appeal to War Industries
Board for Relief.
Assessments for sewer improvements
war-time are not to the liking of
George Clough, of Arlington, who pro
poses to carry the matter to the courts
If necessary. In a communication to I
the council objecting to the levy on
his Terrace Park lots, he declares he
will appeal to the War Industries
Board for respite.
"My experience In Portland property
matters Is that it does no good to pro
test." he says. "The propositions are
put through anyway. Sometimes I get
my notices after the date set for pro
test. I suppose if authorities see fit
to extend the sewer to Arlington, w
will have to pay.

people are called upon to buy liberty

SUGAR PERMITS STOPPED
PRECINCT REPORTS ARE FILED
Spruce Division Men Tabulate Re
cent Housing Figures.
One-sixth of the precinct reports
filed at housing canvass headquarters
in Liberty Temple were segregated and
tabulated by the force of Spruce Divi
sion men who worked Friday evening,
and the work will be completed during
the next few days. Colonel Stlne yes
terday volunteered an Increased number
of Spruce Division men, who .will re
port tomorrow or Tuesday, and the data
desired by the Government will be
placed in shape for ready reference
and filed at headquarters of the Per
manent Placement Bureau.
All of the canvassers have completed
their work, according to Office Man
ager Johnson, the last of the corrected
cards having been filed yesterday. Much
interesting data Is expected to come
from the precinct returns, and upon it
will depend Portland's prospect of se
curing additional war contracts.
Orders Received Front Washington
Discontinuing' Canning Allotment.
No more permits for sugar to be used
for canning purposes will be issued by
the local food administration this sea
son.
We have received orders from
Washington to discontinue issuing
these permits at once," said Assistant
Federal Food Administrator W. K.
Newell last night, "and no more per
mits will be given out from this office.
It will be useless for anyone to apply
for additional sugar for canning pur
poses this season.
"Oregon has been a great deal more
generous in allotting sugar for can
ning than have many other states, and
from reports made at the food admin
istration, the average Oregon household
is splendidly stocked with fruits and
vegetables canned by patriotic housewives.
"All fruits are now scarce and higher
in price, so the food administration
feels no hardship will be worked by
discontinuing sugar permits."
