CONVINCING STATEMENTS
BY STREET COMMITTEE
'Trio of Kcn TVlio" Have Charge of Keeping Portland
f ; Streets Clean Issue Truthful Utterances in Their
; Defense--Voters Should Head Every Line.
xrra ri)
At the request of many voters,, ths
''.. following communication is reprinted
from Thursday's issus of The Journal:
, s Portland. Or, May 29. To the Editor
,,ef The Journal As there haa been con
siderable advene criticism of the street
-cleaning, department of the city by one
i i, of the prominent candidate! for mayor.
t the undersigned, tne committee on
' street cleaning and sprinkling, of the
executive board, trust that we may be
permitted to eay a few words in us
. defense.
"The so-called sanitary method of
cleaning streets by flushing them was
referred by this committee to Alex
' Donaldson, the superintendent of this
V- department, some months ago, and he
reported the earn impractical, for the
following reasons:
' ' "First It would require the eonstruo-
, tlon of three times the present number
- tf catch basins and a very material
r ehanae of those now in use.
' "Second In a majority of the street!
' ' the sewers are not of sufficient ca
' ' paclty to carry off the water and mud
i that would flow Into them if this
method was adopted, and they would
, ' "'' have to be rebuilt on a larger scale.
' - Ttt la estimated that the expense of
' making theae changes would be over a
' ' .quarter of a million dollars, and as
; no appropriation had been made to
' cover this expense, the executive board
, did not feel disposed to make these
, changes out of their private funds. Be
sides this, the street cleaning depart
' snent takes from the streets an aver
" 'are of ISO loads of dirt per day, and
it la Tory doubtful about our being
' permitted to wash that amouht of dirt
into the river, as it would probably be
, : detrimental to our harbor.
The ordinance appropriating money
'- for this department for Hot specified
r the amount that was to be expended for
each specif lo item, and we were obliged
, , at the end of the year to cover beck
Into the city treasury tlt.101.S8, be
, aausa it could not' be used for thai
items for which it was appropriated.
but which was sorely needed for other
purposes.
The great need of the department
was horses, yet only $1,200 was appro
priated for their purchase, and it speci
fied that It should be used to purchase
only six horses. ' As a consequence of
this, we were obliged to return to the
city treasury tll.040.4S Of the funds
appropriated to pay laborers, for if we
had used that money for that purpose
It would have been to pile up dirt in
the streets which we could not cart off
for want of sufficient horses.
"This Is but a sample of the way the
bands or the executive board were tied
by this extraordinary .way of making
appropriations. It hss been charged
that the appropriation was made that
way for the purpose of embarrassing
the executive board in the performance
or Its duties, if such was Us purpose.
It certainly accomplished Its object.
"During the past two years not a sin
gle man had been employed or removed
on account of any political pull, but
on the contrary, every appointment has
been made from the civil service list,
and the person so employed has been
retained so long as he gave the city
a dollar's worth of work for the dollar
paid, and as a result we have now by
far the most effective force of laborers
the city ever had.
"Thsrs is not a street but what re
ceives as much or more cleaning and
sprinkling than it did nnder the for
mer administration, yet the cost of this
work, under the present administration,
has decreased over II per cent, and this
notwithstanding ths fact that the price
oi iaDor nas mcreaaea over io per cent.
"In conclusion, we desire to ssy that
ail tne officers or tne street cleaning
department are Republicans, appointed
by Mayor Williams, and a majority of
this committee are also Republicans.

Important letters written by the late
Constantly pobedonostaeff while pro
curator-general of the Holy Synod, are
now appearing in roe Arcmve, tne lead'

The letters deal with momentous
events immediately following the as
sassination of Alexander II and shed
new light on the fate of the constitu
tion drafted by Lorta Mellkoff. It Is
established that Alexander II, at the
time of his assassination, was about to
proclaim the constitution drafted by
Mellkoff, who was then virtual dictator
of Russsla, establishing parliamentary
Institutions in the empire. The death
of the emperor was even ascribed to a
reactionary plot that had for its ulti
