CITY'S COURSE AT STAKE Joint Sig-ncd Statement to Voters Says Portland Must Go Ahead or Fall Back. 31 , tats E3j Cli art shows decrease In rev enue received by city from source other than taxation since 1010. t Under the caption. "That the Public May Know," the city council yester day Issued a formal statement sum ming up the entire question Involved in the 2-mill emergency tax measure to be voted on at the special election Wednesday. "The facta and figures," say the commissioners, "are presented at this time in order that the public may know the issues and pass npon them with full realization of what a vote for or arainst the measure submitted means. The city's course In such vital matters as fire, police, health and other protection and adequate general city service is involved and will be decided. After the election it will be too late to alter this course, which will be backward if the measure is defeated or forward if it is adopted. The statement, signed by all mem bers of the council, reads as follows: "The increase during the past year of all tlvinars required by. the city in Its various departments such as fire, police, health, etreet cleaning:, publia works, etc., has not only consumed all surplus funds in the city trea-sury, but has brought the city face to face with a $500,000 deficit for next year. Costa All Advanced. "This does not mean that the city service is to be increased by J500.000 next year. It means that increases in the cost of materials and labor since December 1, 1918, have been such that to run the city next year on the same basis It was at the end of 1918 will cost $500,000 more. This represents the increased cost during the last year from causes beyond the control of the city and the council. "The only way of overcoming this deficit and maintain service on Its present basis is for the voters to adopt the two-mill emergency tax measure or for the council to cut $500,000 from the various services as they stand today. This means that every branch of the service must be materially reduced, as no one depart ment or branch can stand the entire cut. This means a reduction of fire protection, police protection, health protection, street maintenance, park and playground maintenance and ac tivities, street cleaning and every other line of service given by the city. "If the measure is not voted the cutting of service that Is already In adequate must follow Immediately and automatically. There is not an other way In which the city can meet the emergency. City's Troerrea Involved. Involved In the election is the question of the city's progress next year in street and sewer Improvement work. War restrictions imposed by the federal government against pub lic improvements have been removed and crojects which have been held In abeyance for two years are all com ing up together. These Improvements ere to be paid for by the property benefited at no expense to the tax payer except the cost of preparing the cluns and supervising the work. The city during the period of restriction induced Ha public works force to a minimum and the department now stands reduced to that point. There fore, unless additional funds are raised to enable the employment of surveyors, draftsmen- and others nec essary to prepare for these improve ments the work cannot go ahead. "As the situation stands now the nublic works force cannot prepare plana between now and .spring for more than one-rirtn or me improve ments petitioned for by property 6wn ers. These petitions call for the pav- inc of 46 miles of streets and the lay ing of 25 miles of sewers at a total of $3,500,000, of which $1,000,000 will go to the item of employing and pay ing labor. The cost of preparing plans for this programme will be about $220,000. Winter Employment Proposed. "Much of the improvement work planned can be bandied during the winter and early spring months, there by relieving any unemployment prob lem which may arise, provided the city is financially able to employ the help necessary to prepare the plans. The programme of supervising the work involves a much less cost to the city than the cost for a similarly large programme put through In 1913, so It may be readily seen that the city plans to employ no more or a torce than is absolutely necessary to ac complish the work properly. "The two-mill emergency tax will involve a tax for next year of less than $2 to the average taxpayer. In other words $2 on each $1000 of as sessed valuation in the city. The man now paying in the neighborhood of $30 a year taxes would pay $32 next year under the additional two mill tax. 'The adoption of the two-mill tax will provide money whereby the city can keep what it has now and in ad dition have a limited amount of money for the following purposes: "To meet further advances in the cost of labor and materials. General Maintenance Provided To provide proper upkeep of the equipment in the fire, police, health, park, street cleaning, street main tenance, shop. Incinerator and other services maintained by the city. "To provide additional street lights in the present unlighted residential districts of the city. Ofi account of lack of funds practically no additional ' lights have been installed in Portland for four years. Without additional money it may be necessary to discon tinue some now in service. "To allow needed improvements in parks and playgrounds and to enable the city to establish the additional parks and playgrounds authorized by the voters at the last election. These additional parks and playgrounds cannot be established next year unless the 2-mill measure is approved. ! "To re-establish the public employ ment bureau which has been discon tinued by the federal government for lack of appropriation. This service, which was closed on November 1, 1919. can be re-operated after the election if the measure is approved. Otherwise it must remain closed, as tar as the city is concerned. jlw (ifuvms lunua to cmpiuy drafts men, surveyors, engineers, etc., to prepare plana for $3,500,000 worth of street and sewer Improvements, peti tioned for and to be paid for by the property abutting, except the cost of engineerings, etc., which must by law be paid by the city. Additional Police Sought. "To provide a few additional police men for patrol service in residence districts. "To provide for proper upkeep of streets and for the cleaning of streets. "If the voters fail to approve the 3 mill measure the following will be the result: "None of the Improvements or bet terments mentioned can be made. "A general 15 to IT per cent reduc tion must be made in all city service, including fire, police, health, parks, playgrounds, street cleaning, street maintenance, lighting, etc. Four-fifths of the street and sewer improvements cannot bo put through because of lack of money to prepare the required plans. "These facts and figures are pre sented at this time In order that the public may know the issues and may figure intelligently on the way to vote. The council members feel it their duty to inform the public of the facta and to administer the affairs of the city in accordance with the. decision of the majority of the voters. The issue Is before the public as It Is beyond the control of the council, and the city's course must be decided at' the election. It will be too late afterward to alter the course.

Reservations, Modified So as "Sot to Cause Rejection, of Whole Pact, Advocated' by Visitor. A. F. Whyte of London, Eng.. ex member of the British parliament, told the members of the Oregon Civic League, at their luncheon meeting yesterday, that he believes the reser vationlsts in the United States sen ate have rendered a distinct service through having brought about a study of the peace treaty that will make It more satisfactory. He ex pressed the personal conviction that the covenant should be somewhat modified, but not to an extent that would cause the whole treaty to fail of adoption. In a candid way, the visiting Britisher discussed the vari ous phases of the league of nations, holding that no Englishman would consider for a moment that Great Britain has six votes, for the reason that in the questions most likely to confront the world and threaten its future peace the interests of Canada. Australia. New Zealand and India would be opposed to that of the mother country. . He referred to the likelihood that CARDS OF THAiVKS. We wish to thank our many friends; the Peter A.
