avenues, waa the rock crusher propoal-
lion. The proposal that the city appro-
jirUt M0 for tha purpose of rock
crushers is looked upon favoraWr and
I a resolution was adopted Indorsing tha
Kuhlibt ordinance making an appro
! ; filiation of that amount ' -
Tha ordinance has only reached tha
..Ways and means committee of which
" Councilman Rushlight Is chairman. The
committee has passed favorably upon
tbe proposition to purchase rock erush-
era and the east side clubs have de
i termined to push the matter when It
; reachea the council. Mayor Lane la
. also on the aide of the clubs IS the
matter, -
' . City Attorney Kavanaugh has tx
- ytreaaed some doubt as to tha ability of
-, the city to operate a rock eruaher un
'. der the present charter, but other legal
opinion has been secured-to the effect
that the city does have the right and
' can own and operate a publlo utility of
; the character of a rock crusher. Wheth
' er the surplus rock can be sold is an
other matter, but It Is thought that this
'can be accomplished without violating
' tha provisions of tbe charter.

. f ' Frank J. Perkins propose! that a res-
j olutlon be adopted recommending that
the city purchase the rock crasher above
Mllwaukle, where he said as good a rock
as can be found anywhere could be 1
mined., Mr, Perkins said he did not
i agree With . the mayor that the only
suitable i rock for building roads and
streets was la the bottom of tha Wll-
lamette river. Mr. Perkins was put on
; the rock crusher committee but no oth-
'i ( er action regarding Ma proposal was

f. the automobile pageant .of the Rose

matter of permanent -street Improve
'; menl The city authorities will be
j- urged to compel contractors to expe-
dlte the Improvements sa quickly as
I possible. Not until Grand avenue and
; East Morrlscn streets are Improved can
. j the e&at side hope to obtain many of
the features of the Rosa Festival or any
part of the parade. "
Also since the contract for tbe con
: struction of a modern steel bridge
" across Sullivan's gulch on Union ave
i nue is bow about to be let unless Grand
1 avenue ia Improved from East Oak to
' Holladay avenue, there will be no means
; of communication between the sections
f north and south of Sullivan's gulch. O.

rifirmnta'
Dlacuvalon arose concerning the many
bond lasues, many of which started in
the United Eaat Side clubs but have
bmn declared invalid by Judge Cteland.
It was generally conceded that the de
cision would be affirmed by the su
preme court of the state and that steps
should be taken to start new petitions
embracing the same provisions or many
or them. Tnos or most interest were
the Madison brtdce bond Issue, the mat
ter of an additional conduit to Bull Run,
the meter system and tha new system
for extending mains, the park and bouie
vard scheme and several, others.
All Work for Tortlaad.
C. C. Chapman of the Portland Ad
club was invited 'to addresa the meetlns
and made an Interesting talk. He said
the Ad club took great interest in the
east side now that It waa slkpwtng a
positive tendency to advertise and help
Itself. Any community, said Mr. Chap
man, that was displaying the enterprise
that the east side la could not holp but
gain the sympathy of any live body of
advert liars. .
"A great many of the members of the

Steer Clear of Politics.
It has ben the object of all the clrlo
Improvement bodies on the east side to
steer clear of embarrassing complica
tions and especially political alliances
of any nature whatever. Several time;
the conservative heads In the United
Kast 81de clubs have been called upon
to prevent the Indorsement of candl
Aata hv enthusiastic friends. Only
one club on the east side is of a polit
ical nature and that is mo urooxiyn ue-
nuKllnan unit I m tirovem en t cIUD. That
organisation, however, left Its political
nfiilntlonfi behind when it was sd-
tnittni with the other clubs to repreaen
otln In tha ITnltad V.Amt Side clubs.
a rnnnrl was made on the matter of
the draw regulation by Chairman Boise
of the draw rerulatlon committee. lie
said progress was being mnde and that
the committee from the clubs had been
subdivided Into working committees
and that the work of securing statistics
to DO presemoa o me wr uruanmuni
wnji nropeprtlnr ranldlv. A fiaht Is ex
pected and a long one before tha object
of the east side Is attained In securing
regulation of the opening ana closing
of the draws but the committee has re
solved to stay with the proposition until
the end comes. Favorable action on the
Sart of the war department is coofl
ently expected.
WORN PLANKS TORN UP
ON EAST MORRISON
The streetcar company Is taking steps
to Improve East Moraison street be
tween the rails by putting down new
planks, Tha worn planks .on the old
thoroughfare were dangerous to team
traffic and many teamsters complained
of. aocidenta in which tires and. wheels
we're torn from their wagons by being
caught tinder the streetcar rails as the
result of rotten planks.
As it is proposed to , Improve this
street before the time of the Rose
Festival with a hand surfaoa improve
