come under his observation. Judge Bro
naugh in the circuit court yesterday
granted: Frank C. Barton a divorce from
Susie C- Barton. The court said tt was
-lear that the, husband was entitled to
; a decree pn the ground of desertion, but

DONALDSON SAYS NOT ONE-TENTH
OF. STREETS ARE CLEANED-DAILY
Less than one tenth of the hard sur-
race streets of Portland are cleaned
daily, according to a statement made In
a letter from Superintendent Donaldson
of the street cleaning iDartment to the
executive ooara yesterday, ine superin
tendent explained to Mr. Newell of the
executive board, to whom he showed the
letter, that some few of the streets are
cleaned every day but that others arc
not visitea once a montit.
"What's the use of raking ud tlles of
dirt which I cannot have hauled off the
streets I can hire men enough to clean
all the streets properly and 1 have au
thority to purchase horses and equip
ment But the city needs another barn
worst of all." said Mr. Donaldson, "and
have no power to buy land on wnicn i
to build this. Tha city should, build a
new. barn to house 40 or SO additional
horses and more equipment Wa owe it
to property owners that new. streets
which they have paid for with good hard
money should be kept clean and in gaol
condition to withstand tha wear' af
weather nd time. . .
"No department of the city haa been
so handicapped by lack of equipment as
the street cleaning service haa been.
During the past few years three paving
companies have been ; laying surface
where formerly only one worked and
with the miles and miles of additional
pavements to take care of the city has
not increased Its equipment or foros. No
time should be lost In remedying this
condition of affair. i .
