.; . As exclusively stated In yesterday's
, Journal. ths fort of Portlnd Commis
r . slon held a meeting- at Which the ques
tlon of an engineer for the drydock now
being built was discussed. Another mt
' ler to which tse board devoted some at
" Mention was the leasing of tne new dredge
' to the United State government.
A number of applications to fill the
vacancy .caused by the reslgiiatibn of De
r signing and Constructing Engineer Blaek
' well of Seattle were read. Nothing, how
ever, was definitely' decided upon In this
matter. It Is highly probable that the
engineer selected to- superintend the con
struction of the drydock Is an Eastern
... man. as the board has been lnJcommu
liicatlon with bint for thepaat few weeks
ana seems to nave f ormea sv iou
eninton of him. ' '
The question of changing- that part Of
the specifications for building' the pry.
does pertaining to the t ran verse center
bulkhead, was referred to 4. u. t'lanaeru,
.the' attorney of the board. It 'WW the
opinion of Mr. Banfield, the president of
' the commission, that the section refer
ring to the calking ef the bulkhead was
deficient. . ,-
: LEVY FIVE ASSESSMENTS.
, Another matter referred to the attor.
" ey of the board, was that referring to
- the levy tagr of a special tax on the dls
'trlot of the Port- of 1 Portland for the
ivment ot the lndbtednpss of 230,0X)
i incurred In building and outfitting the
new d red go and ita -aoeennoriea, , Instead
of levying one tax for the whole amount.
' . " the board wishes to levy five taxes In the
' next flvyear.
" A tetter was read from X C. B. Lock
wood,! constructing' engineer of the new
dredge, reiterating bis statement that
the reductions made by the commission
in the bill of the Willamette Iron ana
' Steel Works' for machinery for the dredgre
are justifiable.
Another matter in connection with the
"'dredge la that ef leaning It to the United
- Htates government -through Ca.pt. w. V.
Langfttt, engineer in charge of ltl local
ofneo. It appears that the paper eon
talnlne? the transfer hav been signed
'but that the dredge has not been taken
off the hands of the commission u yet.

Mayor Williams has .succeeded in get'
ting the Common Council and City &
Suburban Railway Company together
again on the blanket franchise propo
sltion. It was thought at the last meet-
lng of the Council that the ordinance
granting .the franchise would never
again bo raised. It has been, the wish
of the mayor all the time that the ordi
nance should pass; but Owing to the
many defects which the .street commit
tee discovered in the bill.' it was thought
best to drop the matter. The company
was obstinate and refused to allow any
changes In the proposed ordinance.
City Auditor Devlin ha now drafted
a new ordinance which will be submitted
te the Common-:. Council at a special
meeting- Monday. The ordinance is the
same as the one granting the blanket
franchise to the Portland company, with
two exceptions; It calls for SO Instead Of
26 years and it does not change the ex
isting rights of the company In regard
te the approaches to the Morrison
street bridge. -These two points, how
ever, were, the principal' objections to
the ordinance which was defeated at the
last Council meeting. ;
, . ; A HOSTILE ATTITUPa
The Common Council and te City &
Suburban Railway Company have.
through th entire fight pver the blanket
franchise, assumed a hostile attituoe te'
ward each other. Neither was willing
to give up In the least to the other, and
a compromise was Impossible. Every
body felt that the blanket would be
good thing, both for the company and
the City. The mayor ' expressed con
siderable displeasure with the petty
manner In which both partlei were go
lng at the proposition. ;
The City ft Suburban Company has
now agreed to put aside some of the
nettv differences and accept a blanket
In exchange for all their franchises. If
the cits will compromise on other
notnt. Thev demand 13 years and ex
elusive -rights to the Morriwm street
bridge. It is believed that the Council
will be glad to pass this ordinance, ae
they know that a groat mistake would
be made if the proposition of the xom
Jpany was not accepted. There are a
few obstinate ones In the oounclt who
are not willing to grant a franchise to
any""v60ntponywfor"ai",rm:f'.;more'"thftn
26 years, and there are others who will
object to the Morrison street bridge
rlxhts to the company.'
In speaking of the manner in which
the Council has, acted toward tne
blanket franchise, the mayor said: "The
mere, matter of five years In the term of
a franchise should not keep a council
man from voting for an ordinance.
when there are valuable elements to be
Considered aside from the term, wnat
the city could do with th franchises
when they expire, in tne present concn
tlon, Is more than I can see. The city
cannot acquire a small portion of a
street railway line, that covered by one
franchise, and conduct it successfully.
The only thing the city can do Is to
grant a new f ranchise to the company at
most any term" the company chooses to
make"

and maintaining a fire boat for the City
of Portland. Mr. Reed seems to .be
under the Impression that bill. In effect.
is an amendment to the charter, and asks
the Chamber of Coramerc to take Up
tne matter. It was the opinion of the
entire board that . this bill Is an en
tirely separate proposition,, 'and ' had 1
nothing whatsoever to do with ; the
oh&rter. The secretary was instructed to
inform Mr. Reed to that effect, stating
that the chamber was heartily In favor j
of a special tax for a fire boat. The
secretary was also instructed to com

for theNiame object;' and ;
Whereas, From such sources nx the

marked deficiency in the number of offi

the handling or these modern vessels
when the same are all put into commis

"Whereas, It seems ,to our minds en
tirely lacking In good . judgment and
common sense to continue expending
millions in providing war vessels with
out at the same time providing; sufficient
officers to properly command these ves

Whereas, A commercial : bodies, we
thoroughly believe for the protection" of

of having a thoroughly efficient . and

WASHINGTON, Dec. . 80. (Special.)
-The formal reslsmation of Blnirer
Hermann as United States Land Com
missioner, will not be presented . until
the latter" part' of January- Mr. Her
mann said today to The Journal's cor
respondent.
'I have been , Intending for a year
past to retire from the Land Depart
ment. ' I have held office longer than
any of my- it predecessors in 100
years, with the exception of two. The
work la extremely arduous, a.ud I think
I have held (he office long enough.: It
Is my Intention to return to Oieron.
after giving up the office. I am not a
candidate for any other. Government po
sition, and all reports to the contrary
are untrue." (
Mb -Hermann had nothing to .-. say
as. to the reported differences between
himself and the Secretary of the In
terior. As to the Oregon Senatorial
fight, and the -reports that he will him
self be a candidate for the-' togaA he
saia:
"Thus -To t hav Wt .)nnf n, iW.
Senatorial fight, and I prefer not to
discuss it at this time." ."
For a long time past the relationTTp'JJ Lv""u ,' , Kf
between Hermann end Secretary Hitch'
cock have been greatly strained. The
Secretary believes that the methods Of
the Land Office have been too loose,
and this is the reason for , the extent
slve land frauds that have been perpe
trated, especially in Oregon. While
Hermann has not been accused "of com
pllcity, some of his subordinates have
not escaped suspicion, and two of them
have-, bees called upon for an explana
tion . of alleged Irregularities. They
are charged with making copies of of
ficial maps and plats, upon requests of
attorneys and contestants before the
Land Office, doing the work in office
hours and selling the maps, pocketing
the money, which should have gone into
the office. In other instances they are
charged with requiring other clerks
in the office to make such maps or
tracings, either tn office hours or at
home.- allowing them to remove official
papers from the Department over night.
in which cases they divided tne money
with other clerks. '
Hermann was appointed Land Com
mlssioner by President McKinley on
March 27. 1897. For the past , two
years his tenure of office has been un
certain, for Secretary Hitchcock has
been strongly opposed iAkihlscetntiowt
and made repeated efforte-eo have him
removed. The Secretary has made no
secret of his belief that the laxity- of
Hermann's administration has been di
recti y responsible for the numerous
frauds in timber land and lieu land se
lections.
