PORTLAND, WEDNESDAY EVENING. -DECEMBER 23, 1908. , -v SMALL PROSPECT FOR NEW GARBAGE BURNER Councilman Cottel Explains Dilemma in Which Legis- lative Body Finds Itself- Regarding Crematory V No Part of City Willing to Have It; There is no chance of Portland having ; m new garbage crematory to replace the - ridiculous eicuse lor one oui on ine nor ; dcrs of Guild's lake and to do away with 'the foul smelling and dangerous dump that offends the nostrils of residents of that end of town. The city council will not vote to erect a new plant. ' Such was the statement made this morning bv Councilman Cottel. Mr. Cot--" tel says there are two reasons why ; the city must put tip with the present menace to health and offense to decency. - One la that there is no money available to build a new crematory; tne otner is that the residents of no ward want the plant located In that ward. The' first reason may look good to the cAuncilmen, but it is a raet, nevertneiess, that the-amount of money required fot the erection of a new plant would be much ' less than what the city would . have, to spend to stamp out an epidemic of plague should the germs of that dls tiane once become scattered through the army -of rats that swarm over the rot ting dump. The second, reason given is probably crtrroct In a w.v. That is, no one of v the councllmen is willing that the cre matory1 should be erected In his ward. They all "pass the buelt.' Each is will ing that another shall have the honor. , And bo, Portland's garbage must be ., thrown out to fewter and decay on the hideous dump within the city limits. As to the matter of expense, Councll , man Cottel is of the opinion that the present generation should not be called upon to tttand It. - , 4 . . i , . , . "We should build a crematory for the future," he says, : "not merely one big enough to fulfill present requirements. And for that reason I think H is no more than fair that our successors should be made to par part of the bill. I am In favor of Issuing bonds, say for 40 or 60 years, to raise the necessary money. The contention that the crematory should not be located in any ward is not disputed by anybody. In fact, the idea of Superintendent Daggett and others who have interested themselves in the matter Is that It should be built outside the city limits, and so far outside that the city can never reach it. Of course, the matter of transportation in such a case would be the difficult one to solve, but there are those who say that the garbage might be hauled on street cars or by special train or by scows Instead of In the leaky and ill-smelling gar bage wagons that at present perform this service. . But these are matters or detail. The real question is whether or not Portland is to be oDMgea to put up witn tne present condition of things; whether or not dead cats and chickens, barrels of swill, wagon loads of spoiled watermel ons and potatoes, cartloads of all the varied and vile refuse of a creat city are to be much longer dumped out on the snores or uuua a iaice to Dreed ines. rats and disease and to be a constant and ever increasing menace to the health of the,clty ami an oriense in tne nos trils of the Inhabitants of Portland. WHY BOURNE FAVORS BiG Unless His Bill Is Passed at This Session of Con gress Taft "Would Not Get the Benefit of the Measure for More Pay. BUY HOLLY STAMPS TO AID ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS CAMPAIGN Yesterday was business men's day for ' buying the holly stamps to aid the Vis iting Nurse campaign against tubercu i louls. and the stock of stamps on hand was materially reduced. . A number of orders cams from out of town and . the nurses at the postofflce booth had their time well occupied with local demands.- As there are but a few days left of inis stamp sale, the publio is again urged to buy them liberally. -The ex pense to each user of the penny stickers Is small, but the aggregate sum will he large, and a most Important factor in bringing aid to the poor of this city who are afflicted with the disease and for whom there is now no provision -made. . . v. -. From the standpoint of self later est alone, citizens are urged to not relax their efforts to raise money for tne care or tne tunercuiar poor. "If a band of hostile Indians." says a writer in Outdoor Life, 'wtye en camped nearby and might at any mo ment Invade our homes and carry off a victim to sacrifice or slavery we would gladly give tithings for a block house of defense. "What we now need Is to be con vinced that bands of hostile bacilli are everywhere about ua. intrenched In pov erty and dirt and ignorance. None of us Is safe from the attack of this enemy. If for no other reason than to protect ourselves and our own homes. self-interest demands that we contribute our mite to toe common defense. The holly stamp is appropriate to use on all correspondence un to the first or wie year, it nas a new xear wen as a cnristmea greeting. as ROCK PILE CHRISTMAS FOR YOUTH .

Senator Bourne of Oregon, who has introduced a bill to increase the salary of the president from 160,000 a year to J1QO.00O a year and the salary of the vice-Drosldent from 112,000 to $25,000 a year as re ported in The Journal, is actively at work in favor of his measure and hopes to have it pass congress and signed by the president before March 4, 1J09, so that Taft and Sherman will et the benefit of the Increase. Unless the bill is passed at this ses sion of congress Taft would not get the benefit of It unless reelected to the presidency, (, Bourne's Arguments. ,..'It "em" t0 me'" sald Senator Bourne, 'that the arguments in favor of the Increases provided for in my bill are unanswerable.
