will solve many dirncuities in tne mat

Side Only Feasible Side
p " for Building.
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

Looking East on Burnslde From

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

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. , , .. . ,

property- owners promising to plant one

FORCE ISSUES BY
Business Men to Circulate
New Petition for. Bonds
After Decision.
As soon as the supreme court passes
on tha legality of the bond Jesuee voted
laat June new .petitions will be circu
lated by the federated east side dubs,
proposing these same measures, should
the decision be averse to tba bond Is
sue. In all probability the. action will
necessitate calling a special election
which will occur . In November on the
same date as the national election. 'The
measures in which the east side is par
ticularly interested are the Madison
bridge issue, new pipe line to Bull Run
river, parka and boulevarda and the
district Improvement of streets.
As all petitlona asking for a vote on
a particular measure at the . June elec
tion must be filed with the secretary
of state, before February l it Is now
too late to make laat year's measures
again an issue at the election In June
should a decision be rendered today.
Haste is urged on account of the
condition of the old Madison street
bridge. It is thought that the struc
ture will not be able many years longer

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.

Miller la aaalnat annexation, while

The alleged libel was a long letter
