Olty Auditor Gives rignrea.
n T. C Devlin, city auditor of Portland,
was called upon to give facts and fig
ure aa to Portland; financial condition,
and the beat way to expend a million
dollars for -parks and boulevards. He
aald' In part aa follows:
"The proposed aale of bonds by the
alty xor ll.OOO.vOA for parka-and boule
vards . Is in reality a email Item, for
the reason that It -will do little more
than prepare the way for real improve
ment. Thla amount of money. If voted
by tha people, will purchase a few narks
snd provide In part the neeeaeary land
ror aystem. of connecting roadways.
Tha bill as drafted reserves to the eity
the right of condemnation , both for
parka and roadways, and also the right
to assess benefits resulting from the
laying out of auoh a system of road
ways or boulevards, and also the right
to assess : landa benefited by Improve
ment ox the same as -property is
sessed at present for street extensions
and improvements.
"Thla would result In " an " axoendl.
ture of perhapa $600,000 In addition to
the amounts to bo raised from - bond
sales. But even Such a sum would not
make any very extended Improvements,
nut wouia rorm nucleus for a park
system or attractive design and which
eould subsequently be perfected by an
nual expenditure rrom . .tha . ordinary
revenues of tha city. . . -..A , L .
Olty Oradlt ow Wgh. ' '
"The question i now arises .aa to -the
advisability of incurring an additional
debt of 1 1.000,000 for thla purpose.
Three years ago It would not have been
advisable, for the reason that our bond
debt waa more than II per cent .of the
assessed valuation of the property
within the city, and therefor our bonis
were not aought by the Investors In
municipal securities. But at tha pres
ent time, with a bond debt of H.7JM00
and Improvement bonda for about 1800,
000, making a totar of a little over I.
100.000. which Is about per cent of our
present valuation, the city credit ' Is
gOOd.
"It in also wen to remember that tha
bond debt of Portland la represented by
property and utilities such aa tha -rater-work
and othSr holdings which havi a
value far In exeeea f the debt, and It
la certain that parks purchased now
will greatly Increase In value. In fact.
the purchase and design of a system of
parka and boulevards Is to provide for
the future, ror tne reason that the srea

and surroundings of Portland do not
necessitate parkj for the present popu
lation, but these condition are fast
changing, and a few years hence the
density of our population will deatrey
the general park appearance which now
prevails In the Rose City, and the de
mand for parks will be Imperative, I
am of the opinion that following the
purchase of land and the laying out of
a system of - boulevards proposed the
annual expenditure for park Improve
ments should not be less than f.v..J0
annually, ...-
"Tha kind "of pavements- for city
streets Is no longer a doubtful expert
ment, ss It wss a few years ago. In
1901 we expended for street Improve
ment f 114.w4.5: In. 1901. f 4ST.tl7.7S;
In 1904. llft,T40.10; In 1906. 14(8.140.21.
and In 1909. 1417.174.71. ' These Im
provements were paid for by special
assessments. The proceedings- for Im
provements now under way Indicate that
the expenditures during; 1907 will - be
11.000,000, and from year to year, the
aum win necessarily increase.
" Pavements Stave Paid.
"Our trouble la that too many ot -our
Improvements are of the cheaper,
grades W need mora ' hard-surf aoe
pavements. - Wa have aamplea of aa
high-grade pavementa aa can be found
In the United 'States. The stone blocks
on concrete foundations make , an Ideal
pavement for the warehouse and whole
sale districts where pi heaviest loads
prevail. The wearing qualities ot as
phalt, brick, wood blocks, bltullthle and
bituminous streets are well known.
"Coat la (he only obstacle, and yet If
we consider it lntelllrently thla should
not bevfor there has not been a sin
gle instance la thla our where tha lay
Inar of a hard-surface Improvement
not resulted immediately In increaaed
value 'of abutting property many times
In excess of the cost of Improvement,
and this waa true even In tha hardest
times when there was little demand
for real estate. '
"Many of our people will spend thou
bands of dollars for costly homes and
Interior decorations and furnishings, and
will object to a few hundred dollars for
a - clean, sanitary and durable atreet
nevement. Thla policy Is narrow and
unprofitable, but its moat serious re
sult la In being detrimental to the
larger growth and prosperity of the
city.. ' - ; - - - ,v ,

'"Incidental to good atreet-paving la
the Item of. street-cleaning. Only a
Smooth, wall-paved street canbe prop
erty cleaned. In the bualness district
of a jelty the atreet filth should be
taken up aa fast as It accumulates,
and at night the streets should be
Cleaned by flushing.- This Is the only
proper and sanitary method; moreover,
it la - cheaper, and I am - strongly tn
favor of remodeling our whole sys
tem of catch-baalna In the business dis
trict so aa to make possible this meth
od of cleaning.- -----i--
"Aa we clean at present by sweep
ing - with- brooms after sprinkling

of sunlight, dries, and by trafflo. is
worked Into dust and la carried by
every draught of jilr Into every nook
and corner of our buildings, t Next to
no cleaning,. t la . the moat expensive,
unsatisfactory and unsanitary system
that -can be devised. ' '
"I have always favored the district
plan ,pf street paving, whereby all the
streets or parts ot streets within a cer
tain district may be improved under
on procedure, I would now favor or
dinances providing for the health and
cleanliness of the city by ordaining that
nothing . but hard -surface pavementa
shall be laid in certain district. , -
' Sepaxr Syassx. PractioabXe.
' In the matter of the maintenance of
pavements. Portland has. adopted, under
the present charter, the most practical
methods. This consists of a separate
and distinct - contract on the ; part - of
the contractor, whereby for a atipulated
price, generally two and a half cents for
a square yard, per lannnm. he under
take to maintain the pavement In per
fect condition for a period of 14) years.
Thla is said by tha city out of the atreet
repair fund which is provided ' partly
by direct tax and partly by vehicle lic
enses. This makes it of Interest to the
contractor to put down the very best
possible pavement whereas formerly it
waa to hla intareat to put down tha
pooreat pavement, that he could get ac
cepted.' , " ' . ,
"I cannot conclude without a word
upon the subject of a healthy and pro
gressiva public spirit. Wa have aat
