14. CHARTER OUTGROWN MAYOR BAKER Revision Declared to Be an Urgent Need. MENACE TO CITY IS SEEN Tnless Money Is Forthcoming, Portland Will Suffer From Fires and Crime, Is Belief. Portland has outgrown its city charter, and unless a revised charter is prepared and placed in operation the city's progress will be checked, declares Mayor Baker. Furthermore, & new charter must be prepared with in a reasonable time, the mayor be lieves, or the city wyi suffer unneces sary fire losses, inefficiency in de partments, and Increased crime. The mayor does not believe in any chance of form of goverynent, being an ardent believer in the efficiency of the commission plan. But he does believe that the experience grained in the conduct of municipal affairs since the adoption of the present charter lias disclosed many changes that ehould be made to aid in the proper Administration of the city's affairs. Levy Held Too Limited. The present city cnarter, for in stance, provides that the city cannot levy in excess of 8 mills in taxation for money to be used in conducting; the affairs of Portland, except upon express approval of the voters. This amount is too small, according to the mayor. Eight mills was sufficient money to handle the affairs of the city," raid Mayor Baker, "when the charter "was adopted. But with the increase in the costs of materials and labor and with the value of a dollar cut in two, we really have only 4 mills on which to operate. "This is not enough. We have been forced to appeal to the voters for additional millage and we will again be forced to make a campaign for an additional three mills at the Novem ber election to conduct the affairs of the city next year. The city cannot get along without this money. Money Declared Insufficient. "The residents of Portland expect to get service and this service, to which they are entitled, costs money. We haven't enough fire apparatus, we haven't enough street lights, we - haven't enough police officers, we "haven't enough fire stations. But all " of these things take money. "The present city charter is all right as far as it goes," continued the , mayor, "but you wouldn't expect a man to continue to wear the clothes . made for him when he was a boy. Portland has blossomed out into a " real city. The present city charter has provisions In it which might as well be framed for a village." t The mayor believes that a com- petent charter committee should be appointed. He will make no effort 1 to place such a proposition before the TO ELECT OREGON DELEGATES TO GO TO ! . - NATIONAL SESSION. ;rinner Meeting September 14 , Be l-'eatured by Programme I.. of Unasual Interest. to The Purchasing Agents' association tt Oregon will elect delegates to the national convention of the associa tion at the meeting called for the governors' room of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, September 14.

The James John high school, which is now being reconstructed, will be absolutely safe when It is opened to the school children about October 15 and it will be safe for many years to come, states R. H. Thomas, school clerk. The school board is sparing no expense In seeing that the building is properly repaired, since the board members realize that the -welfare of several hundred children is involved. The four outside walls have been rebuilt from the ground up and there is no possibility of sag-ping. Strong concrete posts support the roof trusses and concrete headers have been placed over the windows. The plaster ing is being started now so that it will be dry when it is time to begin on the woodwork and Inside fixtures. The contract was let on an estimate of $25,000. - ' About 350 children attend this school and it Is not expected that the number will vary materially from, these figures this year. Since the building will not be ready by the opening of school, the pupils will be housed in the Peninsula school and the three portables, which are situated on the school grounds, and in the Jefferson high school. The advanced students of the third and fourth years will go to Jefferson. STAGE SET FOR BATTLE IMMENSE SPECTACLE TO BE GIVEN WEDNESDAY.
