r THE OREGON DAILY JOURNALV PORTLAND. FRIDAY EVBNINO, JULY 31. 1908. 1 , START WORK 00 SWIFT PLAHT Crew of 100 Men Begins Excavating for Foundation First Building to Rise Six Stories Concrete and Brick Structure Finished Within Year. Exravatlon work haa b'gun on the half million dollar packlng-houeo of the Union Meat company, controlled by the Swifta. Thla morning a crew of 100 men la at work discing out for the foundation! of tbo' mammoth building-. Other are preparing to drive pil ing for the supply dock and the engi neer are selecting altea for the glue .factory, box factory and other of the smaller bulldlnai of the establishment. The Pacific Bridge A Bulldina; com pany, which has the contract for the foundation work on the main packing house, will have the work completed within five months. The building is to be of concrete and brick construc tion and will be six stories high. Con tracts for the main building will be leti within a few weeks and call for Its completion at the end of eight months. It Is probable, however, that the plant will not be In operation much abort of a year. The Inlnt truck of the Oregon Washington and the Spokane A Seattle railroads through the Bwlft property Is nearly completed into the It acres reserved for stockyards. These roads have access to the property by a long trestle, the Oregon i Washington Join ing the north bank line near the Co lumbla slough drawbridge. A hydraullo dredge la still at work pumping sand and gravel out of the slough channel and into the lowlands on the stockyards side. It will keep at this work until the packing-housebuildings have been constructed and the ground around the foundations is wen leveled. WILL NOTIFY MAYOR OF FORFEITURE OF BOND City Attorney Says Proceedings Against United Rail ways Company Should Be Begun by the Mayor Council May Order Prosecution of Case. City Attorney John P. Kavanaugh stated today that aotlng under seotlon 158 of the city charter he would snd a letter to Mayor Lane calling the mayor's attention to the fact that the $100,000 bond of the Suited Railways company Is forfeited because of the failure of the railway company to con struct and operate its line of railway between Portland and Salom in accord ance with the provisions of lta fran chise. According to City Attorney Kava naugh, It will then be Mayor Lane's duty, under section 157 of the charter, to Institute proceedings to collect the bond. Section 161 bears on the ques tion, however, by providing that the mayor may on his own motion, ana must upon a resolution passed by the council directing hlra to do bo, cause to be instituted, on behalf of the city, such actions or proceedings as may be nec essary to revoke, cancel or annul all fram tilaes." etc. City Attorney Kavanaugh, however, believes that section 157 is more to the potnt in the present case, in that It pro vides that "the mayor shall see that all contracts and agreements made with the city and for Its use and benefit are faithfully kept and performed, and to this end shall cause any legal or equit able proceedings to be Instituted and prosecuted against all persons or cor porations falling to fulfill their agree ment with the city." The section under which the city at torney acted in notifying Mayor Lane of the forfeiture of the bond Is 168, which states that "it shall be the duty of every officer or person In the em ploy or service of the city, when It shall come to his knowledge that any contract or agreement with the city, or with any officer or department thereof, or relating to the business of any of fice, has been or is about to be violated, forthwith to report to the mayor all the facts and Information within his posses sion concerning such matter." Mayor Lane believes that it Is up to the council to instltnte proceedings in demanding the forfeiture of the bond, because the council handled the original proceedings, although Mayor Lane stat ed that he had not looked up the-mat-ter and was not prepared to express an opinion. Several weeks ago Councilman Wal lace asked the city attorney for an opinion as to whether the bond of the company was forfeited because of the failure of the oompany to oompry with the provisions of Its franchise. The city attorney delivered an opinion sev eral days ago to the effect that the bond should be forfeited. Following his knowledge on the matter, C'ily Attorney Kavanaugh prepared his letter to Mayor J.ane today. In aroordsnce with the charter, and expects that it will be unnecessary for him to proceed further In the collection of the bond until or dered to do so either by Mayor Lane or Uie council. While the general opinion has been that the railway company would pay the bond to the city, It has been learned since that a stubborn flsrht would nrob- ably be put up by the sureties and the company to save the monev. If a fight Is put up for the money. It will have to be In an effort to secure favorable ac tion from the council. Even then the mayor has the right to order the city attorney to commence proceedings to re cover the bond, though the council should neglect or decline to order him to do so. ' S HI LIVESTOCK SHOW Special Amusement Fea ture Planned for Meet Next Month. Directors of the Country Club and Livestock association will hold their regular meeting next Monday to pass on the reports of several of the special committees In charge of details of tha big week's races and stock show. It Is - hoped to hnve President B. S. Josselyn of the Portland Railway, Light & Powsr company there to urge upon him tho necessity of making still more elHh orate plans for handling the crowds than was contemplated a month ago, . when the association asked the street rallwny company what extra accommo dations It would afford for the ruce week. The building committee which has In hand the matter of providing shelter for the several hundred people who will live at the trnck for a week or more will also report. This committee also will report us to the advisability of putting up three or four more racing stables. At present all available spncn In the eight nnrns already completed has been engaced and there will he scores of horses entered In the lflte closing events for which some provis ions must be made. The amusement committee, met yes terday afternoon and It was thought best to have but one large special fea ture attraction during the week and one that would prove a. strong drawing card In connection wnrr tne races. j,incoin Beachy's airship was favored and ef forts will be made to secure the plucky lad who made his first bid for aerial fame here In Portland. Any number of amusement features have been offered and they will prob ably await the results of the efforts to secure Reachy or some other topllne at traction. Hundreds of Portlanders have gone to Hlllsboro today to attend the warm ing up" races there for the purpose of getting a line on the speeders, for prac tically all of those at Hlllsboro are en tered for the races here.

GREAT LOSS OF REVEffUEJO HUT Repeal of Peddlers' and Hawkers' License Proposed by Councilman Kellaher. If the city council should pass tho ordinances Introduced by Councilman Kellaher at the last meeting repealing sections of the ordinance providing for city revenue, It would mean an annual loss to the city of approximately $30. 000, according to the figures of the city auditor's office. Krllaher's ordinance provides for the. repeal of sections 17, 18, 19 and 21 of ordinance 14,053. tax ing hawkers and peddlers, fhe other ordinance lntorduced by Kellaher pro vides that any person caught peddling save those exempted by the ordlnanco shall be fined not less than JIG nor more than J 100, or Imprisoned for not more than 60 days. Kellaher bases his action against the peddlers and hawkers on the ground that ihey have become a nuisance and that "he business men of the city want them removed from the streets. Several months ago the council re ceived a petition signed by more than 200 business men from all parts of the city asking that the hawkers and ped dlers he regulated In some manner so that they would cease to be a nuisance. The matter was taken up by the license committee and after months of wrang ling an ordinance was passed. Mayor Lane vetoed the measure and the veto was sustained. Nothing more was heard of the matter until Kellaher Introduced his ordinances last week. The chief claim against the hawkers Is in regard to their violation of the ordinance regulating the length of time they shall stop In any one block. Another nuisance objected to is in re gard to the crying of wares.
