Statements to this effort , were made to the mem- bers of the street committee yesterday afternoon by contractors attending, some of whom stated mey naa rinisnea im provement work several months ago for ' wnicn mey naa receivea no monej. The fact that the city has more than . 1700.000 In gold with which to pay its t debts does not ese the ire of the eon '. tractors who declare the delay has been ': useless and unnecessary. ' Attention was called to the laxity of ''the city in paying for its work by George W. Simons of the Pacific Bridge i company, Who asked for payment of the old Montgomery fill at Goldsmith street. The work was completed last Septem- ber and was approved by the city engi neer. Since the completion of the fill avaral nroDertv-owners have filed com plaints, and the committee finally de rided to let the matter remain over un til Its nest regular meeting, when the , complainants -will' be beard. The councilman recognise the Justice ' of the complaint or the contractors ana realise the city should be more expedi ent la paying for Its work.

He says Meader was his confi dential friend, as well as son-in-law. and professed great attachment for him. But soon after the property was securely In Meader's possession his wife died, and In June. 1907. Meader mar ried again. Then, according to - the complaint, Meader became cold and harsh In his treatment of the old man. The second Mrs. Meader, too. Is alleged to have been indifferent to his comfort, and he soon found that he was an" unwelcome member of the family. He -says that when he was sick he was refused suf ficient medicine and denied good food or bedding -in the house of the man whom he had deemed his best friend. The original property owned by Pea body was In Wasco, ft was there that Meader lived with his first wife and finished $100,000 worth of Improvement PTfTJ..X.-T'Si.. t.ll work, for which he says the city has ,"iet !LnA.th5ii5 .

' Money was almost impossible to secure, and the contractors found them selves badly crowded at times. So far ss known none of the contractors was forced to stop work for any considerable length or time.' out many were rorced to take extraordinary measures to keep their' men at work. Mr. Simons referred to the action of the push 'Clubs in demanding that Im provement work be rushed to comple tion, and said me ciuos snouia urge an amendment to the city charter which . would compel the elty to pay for im provement work SO days after the work is completed.

That the National Automatic Tire Alarm company will find difficulty In securing a franchise for the installs tlon of its system was apparent yes terday afternoon when the application for the franchise was laid over until next week, when the franchise will be taken up in connection with the fran china nf tha TTnlted Railways. Members of the committee believe tha franchise la one of the most valu able ever asked for outside of the street railway franchises, and from- yester day's actions the company will have to show that me city will receive a just return tor ths privileges It grants to the lire alarm company. For 10 years the company has been operating in Portland on permits, and its attemDt to secure a franchise at this time, as explained Dy tucnara w. Mon tague, attorney for the company, 1 due to the large extensions to be made ln ling the goods s be made creditor as against . them. are made parties to the case. Rlnyir asaingr tnai ne the service. With this In view Mr. Montague desires to have the relations between his client and the city put upon a business basis whereby both will be protected in their rights. In return for the right to operate, the franchise Introduced yesterday promises to give to the city all the alarm boxes now Installed and all boxes to be Installed ln the future. The com pany is given the use of the city wires to the extent that the system can be connected to them. All wires to be erected by the company are to become the property of the city. - The company Installs the alarm bbxes in stores, warehouses and business houses at a certain rental each month. The system operates automatic and auxiliary alarm boxes, the installation of which secures a reduction ln Insur ance rates on the building. In this way the business man practically secures an added fire protection for nothing, the rental for the boxes and the reduction In Insurance being about equal.
