The city engineer ,and many progressive property-owners . . . ballava that trua love naa a roay .pain. ; and tha way to the stars 1s an Incline "beside tha course a atraat improvement haa to travel before reaching a aafa maturity and before tha city secures from tha Interested property-ownara tha crloe of thla Improvement : Of tha many Improvements voted by ; tha councU on tha reauaat of property owners, a vary considerable per cent never set beyond tha advertising stage. Week after week closes with the coun- cil-box In tha auditor's offjee filled with complaints, remonstrances, counter-pe-.. tltlona and ordinary kicks against every form of betterment Not aU or mesa . are unjustified. Many of tha complaint come from-property-owners wbn . have been taxed heavily to aid distant neigh bora and who receive no benefit directly from tha improvements proposed; but In many other . case- betterments that would be of real value and that are areatly needed are killed. At tha close of last week there were In. tha "klcK-box at tha auditor's of- flco four complaints against Important Improvements. In addition to these, tha street committee of tha council at ita . meeting Friday considered several, and ' at least three mora are coming that have : not yet received sufficient alcnaturea to Insure their auccess. One petition that haa already defeated Improvements la that against tne im crovement of Broadway front Union avenue to East Nineteenth, The causa of icomplalnt la that leaa than six months ago practically this same better tnent was defeated on tha petition of tha ' majority of property-ownara concerned. , i and untQ alx months passed no further - " consideration can bo given this partlcv t lar improvement , Tba Improvement of East Twelfth i street between Multnomah and Tllla- mook Ja objected to by nine petitioners 'on the erouad that this Improvement is not expedient nor especially beneficial to tha petitioners. There are nine sig natures attached; to thla petition," and considerable property Is involved. Tha Improvement of Eaat Stark street from union avenue to East Twentieth 1 street la also objected to by a number ot property-holders. There are ? names signed to the remonstranoe, and no es pecial reason la given iortne oompiaint except that tha undersigned do not care for this Improvement at thla parUcular - time. - - i Pippin street's betterraen from Bur rage street to Wabash avenue la not desired by several property-owners on the street One objects to the assess- , nent on tha ground that one-third of -the property In the asseased district is -made to boar two-thirds of the cost and this ratio does not appeal to him as being Just especially aa ho owns the third that la highly taxed. ' i Among these petitions, aa la often the case, the names of real estate companies appear frequently, and city officials charge that too often corporations own nr irn hlnnka of land defeat improve ments because they desire to dispose ' M their ' property neiore me improve- ments are taxea io xneir oodji. or vn mi mneral idea, of cnttlnr axDonso aa deep and aa Ion aa possible. So far no means of relief from this excessive lia bility to defeat has been aiscoverea, ana the way of better pavementa and ce ment sidewalks la liable to remain as thorny aa It haa been for years.

In a complaint filed In the . clreult court "Friday afternoon Lou Kaster denounees'the' eonduct of -Walter "J. MoCommon as administrator ot the es tate ,of William Mllllgan and charges him with traud. -:He alleges that Mc- Common made misrepresentations to County Judge Webster In order to de fraud the complainant out 01 . money which was his due. This . sensational allegation follows the failure of Kaster to secure In the circuit court a writ ot review of the proceedings in the county court Judge Webster is charged with making errors and exceeding his authority. Kaster asks that the Judgment of the county court be set aside and he be declared the owner of money now In the posses sion of McCommon. Claim Ss Settled. HiUlgan was killed on the line of the O. R. A N. raUway January 15, IMS. The only estate he left was a claim against the. railway company for S 1.5 00, which was afterward setUed through McCommon as administrator. The heirs were Mabel B. Mllllgan, the widow,-and Florence and Oscar Mllllgan. minor children' - McCommon waa appointed administrator of the estate by Judge Webster. March la, 1903. It la alleged In the complaint that at various times McCommon paid the widow for the support of herself and the children amounts aggregating $260, leaving- $1,240 "as a residue. The dis tributive share of the widow, according to his computation, would be $620. This amount, he says, was assigned to him for consideration in last Peeember. riaMl Aoomiat rflsd. ':' ' The final account of - McCommon as administrator" was filed December 12. At this time, It is alleged, nothing was said about an attorney's fee being due Robert W. Galloway, and no objections being made to the account, it was al lowed by the court and ordered entered on the records February 22, 1904. Kaster sets up the claim that "de fendant herein, for the purpose of de frauding this plaintiff out of the dis tributive share of defendant Mabel E. Mllllgan as said widow of! deceased falsely represented to said county' court that Galloway had performed services as attorney , for ; said defendant- (Mc Common) as administrator," He further charges, that McCommon falsely represented that the $260 had been paid Mabel E. Mllllgan on account as an ad vance on her distributive share, and that the remainder for various reasons should not be paid Kaster. He declares that by allowing the claims of the administrator Judge Web ster exceeded his . Jurisdiction. The residue of the widow's distributive share, according to the order of the county court would be only $477.56, and this amount is held by the administra tor, pending the further order of court . Kaster asserts that James Wilson was th only lawyer that, had anything to do with the case and that Galloway 1 not entitled to a fee. He also says that the $260 was paid to the widow for herself and the children, and should not be deemed an advance on her ow account - . ,., . ,. A workinf Theory. From the Chicago Tribune.
