difficulty la Bearing contractor to do
- city work In toe future la probable un
leas the authorities change their meth

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

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. The com

, Peabody is 75 years of age, and In
1906, when he deeded the property to
Meader, his - daughter was Meader's
wife. 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

forced to stop work for any considerable

take extraordinary measures to keep

Mr. Simons referred to the action of
the push 'Clubs in demanding that Im

About twd weeks ago Mrs. Olds, who.
lives outside the city, notified a local
employment agency that she desired the
services of a man and his wife to work
on her farm. - The agent sent a man and
woman to tne Olds place, but when they

A few days later it was discovered
that a handsome gold watch, the prop

Olds home, was gone from the room in
which the strange man and woman had
spent me night. Mrs. Olds came to
town and reDorted the theft to tha nn.

Detectives were detailed on the case
ana me employment agent volunteered

HITS COUNCIL SHAG
Committee Intends to Be
Careful Before Granting
Alarm Privilege.
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

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.
