SPEGIFIGATIOIfS
HELD FAULTY
Concrete Experts Uphold
3Iayor's Contention on
E. 28th Street Bridge.
Mayor Lane's policy In refusing to
aocept the Kaat Twenty-eighth street
bridge wm vindicated last night when
the report of the special bridge com
mittee appointed by him to inspect the
structure was submitted to the execu
tive board. This committee, for which
the council appropriated a fee of $500,
Is composed of experts in the use of re-
' enforced concrete. They are W. A.
Grondahl. R. L. Donald and J. W. Mof
fat t. The report recommended that the
' bridge be not accepted at the present
time, and it was adopted.
Reasons given for this recommenda-
- tion are that the south abutment is
' cracked clear through and may fall at
any moment; mat tne main giraers
. m have sunk, owing to weak con
struction; that the parapet is out of
line and cracked In many places; that
' the hand railing or tne Driage win
: deteriorate because the specifications
were not adhered to; that the floor
slabs are far too light and the face
and - wing wans entirely inadequate;
that the duality of concrete used in
V the columns vas inferior owing to the
contractors inexperience; mat tne un
certain position of the reinforcing rods
' renders it difficult to ascertain the
strength of the columns, and that the
contractor departed from the lines of
good bulWlng practice; tnat the con-
otruction was faulty throughout, al-
though In the main specifications were
tollowed ana tnererore me city win
t have to pay for the bridge.
The experts found particular fault
. with the specifications as furnished by
the city to the contractor. They de
clare that deplorable lack of foresight
was used by the designers, who, they
say, did not anticipate the heavy trat-
flee of the future. The floor slabs
r esneciallv weak and the city wlli
have to limit the loading strain permls-
eible on the spans,
v City Engineer Taylor still thinks the
bridge is a gooa one ana lie uunm ei
that the only question will be the
result of a difference of opinion be
' ' tween the examining experts and the
Hlfrnerfl.
Attorney 1j. A. McNary. for the
Northwest "Bridge company, which built
the bridge, asked for a copy of the ex
pert committee's report. The mayor
' ordered that one be eiven to the com
pany. -

WILL DEBATE
OH SOCHUSM
Walter Thomas Mills Ac
cepts Challenge of Barn
hill to Verbal Combat.
John Basil Barnhlll arrived in Port
land yesterday from Ban Frtanclsco,
where be has been engaged in a series
of debates with Professor MeDevItt,
formerly of the Washington State uni
versity, ,on the subject of Socialism..
Mr. Barnhlll has made Socialism a
special study both In this country and
In Europe, and has for some years been
very active in the anti-Socialist propa
ganda. He has debated with Debs.
Thompson, McQrady and other leaders
of the Socialist movement in this couu-
Last night he challenged Walter
Thomas Mills, who is Just now engaged
In giving a series of lectures at the
Masonic temple, for a Joint debate in
this city. The challenge was accepted
and the T. M. C. A. hall has been se
cured for Friday evening, December 18.
The subject for discussion will be,
"Resolved, That Socialism is the only
remedy for the trust, the panic and the
unemployed."
Mr. Mills' address at the new Masonic
temple last night was on the, trusts In
which he contended that society must
take its choice and either organize al
the producers of the world into practical
cooperative relations with each other
so far as employed in the monopolized
industries, or submit to conditions which
will make all men the helpless and
hopeless victims of these private monop
olies. It Is understood that the points
of this address will be challenged by
Mr. Barnhlll In the debate of next Fri
day night at the Y. M. C. A. hall.
The last of the Masonic temple ad
dresses will be given tonight by Mr.
Mills, his subject being: 'Either des
potism or democracy, both in the work
shop and at the ballot box."

Contract Is Let for Paving
Belmont Street With
Bitulithic.
WOMAN'S BREAST
AND MAN'S FACE
Most Common Places for Cancer
The papers made mention a short
time ago of people cured of cancers
without knife or pain by Dr. and Mrs.
Dr. Chamley & Co. Since that time
the cures of many prominent people
hare been the occasion of great com
ment. They all said their cures were mar
velous beyond expression, many of
them having been given up to die.
They first obtained the doctors' free
book, (Which proves that any lumo In
woman's breast is cancer. It led to, as
they say, the greatest blessing of their
lives.

5iedical journals of the world have

free only to those who describe their
ease. Their address is 686 McAllister
street, San Francisco, CaL
Despite the protestations of F. I.
Fuller, of the Portland Railway. Light
& Power company, last night the city
executive board by a unanimous vote
let the contract for paving Belmont
street with bitulithic, from East For
tieth to East Sixty-second, to the Pa
cific Bridge company. The cost of the
new Improvement will be $86,000. The
railroad magnate warned the board that
his company would fight the city to
the last in an effort to protect what he
called the rights of the corporation to
pave Its share ef streets with material
no more costly than that used in the
otner property owners portions.
The letting of the contract forces the
traction people to lay Belgian olorka
on us part or ifeimont street. Mr.
Fuller salad It is unjust and unfair to
expect tne company to pay for the tx-
pensive blocks while the rest of the
street is assessed for the comparative
ly Inexpensive bitulithic, and that the
railroad would have to pay $57,000 of
the entire cost of the street while it
only used less than one third of it
Effective In Thirty Says.
City Attorney Kavanaugh holds that
the ordinance defeated by the council
at Its last session when only two mem
bers voted aealnst It was beaten as an
emergency ordinance but will become
a law arter 30 days any way. This was
the bill which rescinded proceedings on
the Improvement of Belmont. Before
the city attorney made this ruling Mayor
iane had declared the ordinance dead.
v ice President Fuller wanted the ex
ecutlve board to wait until the council
could again take action.
Several property owners were given
the privilege of the floor, and they urged
the board to wait no longer but to let
the contract Immediately. They showed
that tha cost of putting in the blocks
would be only $4000 more to the rail
road company and City Engineer Taylor
declared tnat tne improvement would
be worth that much to the company on
account oi tne longer wear it will give.

"This Rln Van Winkle business oue-ht
to be discontinued," said Mr. Newell of
the board. These people have been try
Ing to secure a hard surface pavement
on Belmont street for seven years and
they ought to have It. It is true that
the railroad may have to pay $4000 more
lor sione oiocas man ior DUUlltnlC DUt It
is also true tnat other . property own
ers may have to pay more than that if
new proceedings are begun on Belmont
street.
After the contract had been let Mayor
Lane turned toward some of the rest
dents who had appeared to fight fof
ma immediate improvement or their
street and said he wished to prophesy
that every one of them would be sorry
that they had secured the hard sur
face. "Traffic will be diverted from all
the nearby thoroughfares to Belmont
street," said he, "and you will have to
wade through mud In gum boots to cross
It in wet weather."
