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.

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

Is small, but the aggregate sum will

Washington, Dec. 23. 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, (,

around . 8 . o'clock this morning;. 4
For a while the water came down 4
In sheets. The precipitation be- 4
4 t ween the hours of 6 and 10 this 4
morning; was exactly 32-100, of 4
4 an Inch. The amount that fell 4
