A strong effort la being put forth by the East Side Business Men'a club to '; land the proposed United States sub 1 treasury for the east side of the river. At the meeting of the club last week : such a move was decided upon and the campaign opened at once. The ad vantages of locating the subtreaaury on tha east aide are apparent In view ' tit the growth of that section of the cltl lu,r.lB the f"' few years and the probability that more public buildings Jl1ii?.blH.t on tne slda In the im , mediate future. ; has reached its limit In point of popula- t of' ? thS Clft the MmitleMParea 1 oT eaat side, in a matter of 10 ?' f, east slda propertyownera who will have become; influential Stt - rens in the lty'a affairs as well as In i nxtlonal will demand that the nost. f of fu-e, courthouse, - leading bankaand : other buildings be located where thev will be nearest the center of population This will come about as nntnr.n. sv prominent east alders, as water reeking its level, "for Portland In the mt place was built on the wrong side . of the river.

OH EAST SIDE Business Men Determined to Have Streets Improved in Time. That the mammoth FesUval parade for which floats are already being de signed) will pass over two of the bridges and be routed for the flrat time on sev eral eaat aide streets Is the expectation put .forward by the eaat side business men. Much encouragement has been offered by the rose, carnival committee. Whether such a nmn la practicable will depend -entirely upon the condition of tne principal east awe streets o which h narade will Daas. ' ' Eaat Burnside street la In perfect con. dltion for the parade, but Eaat Morri son and Grand avenue are not.- If the parade Is routed on the east aide It will In all nrobabllity pass over the Morri son bridge to .Grand avenue and thence north to East Burnside street and Verona the Burnside bridge onto tha weat aide again or vice Versa. The other bridgea are out of the question aa far as rose parades or any otner aina or a paraae Is concerned on account of their narrow width. . :'-, ' - ' ' '' ' Ctab Win TXrga Matter. . The Eaat Side Business Men's club has taken up the matter and haa appointed a committee to wait on the Rose Festi val committee. In the meantime the eaat side business men-will bring all pres sure to bear to secure the immediate improvement 'of Grand avenue and Eaat Morrison street.' A committee haa al ready -taken up the street matter and will urge -tha i authorities to press the contractors! to an early 'Completion, of the" streets "now under' contract to be Improved with bitulithlc For two.yeara the contract has been let for the Grand avenue improvement After xnuchv insistent and -prolonged agi tation tne orana avenue Duaineas men were able to prevail upon the contract ors to finish a section of the thorough fare laat fall. The greater part yet re mains to be completed. - The Eaat Morrison improvement waa Involved in the trouble between the paving companies last summer, and the original contract was thrown up by the company to which it was awarded. A new petition haa been filed asking for the Improvement of East Morrison from Union avenue, to East Seventh street, but the petition has not yet been acted upon. The East Morrison street bust ness men say they do not intend that their Improvement shall be de layed as was the Grand avenue im provement' They say they do not in tend to wait, two years. Already a committee Is investigating the reasons for the Inaction and assert that by the time of the Rose carni val, yet five months away, they will have the thoroughfare in perfect condi tion. -. isieciric signs nave aiao Deen or dered for the thoroughfare by the bus! ness men so that It will be made as at tractive as possible for the carnival. The aat side ; business men have Sieagea tnemseives to appropriately ecorate their 'Streets1 and otherwise aid the. carnival should part of the parade route do iaia out on tne east siae. The rose committee also favors it as It will reduce the crowd a on the atreets where the parade passes on the ".west- side. thereby lessening the danger from accl- aents. , , .. . , SELLW00D TO BE MADE BEAUTIFUL With tkees According .to the plan outlined by a committee front the Sellwood board of trade consisting of Rev.

ANXIOUS FOR CITY TO DWH ROCK CRUSHER Peninsula Property Owners Believe Street Prohlem Will Then Be Solved. Property owners on the peninsula are urging the city ownership of rock crushers. There la doubt In the minds of legal authorities, however, that the city under Its present charter la able to own and operate anything. City At. torneyr Kavanaugh says be does not be lieve the city can legally make any thing and sell it, though it would be possible to crush rock for Its own use. Councilman Rushlight says, however. that he believes the city has a right to sen wnat 11 cannoi use 01 anytning. Under the section of the charter that provides for the disposal of surplus machinery, water pipe and old fire ap paratus. Mr. Rushlight believes that the city could dispose of 'the surplus rock from a crusher owned and oper ated oy ine cuy. It is quite likely that an Initiative measure will be proposed revising the charter on this point, so that the city can own ana operate roca crusners and other public utilities. The lead in the matter is Deingr taken by Dr. L. M. Davis of the Multnomah Improvement association. The ways and means committee of the .council la already discussing; the leaniuimy 01 purcnasins; roca crusnera so that a practical test of the sreaant law may oe xormcoroing.
