General satisfaction Is ; expressed
throughout the city at the final action
of the trustees of the Reed Institute
In soceptlng the gift from the Ladd
estate of 40 acres In the most elevated
and sightly portion . of the Crystal
Springs farm as a site for the educa
tlonal Institution which is to be estab
lished In Portland through the princely
gift of the late Mrs. Amanda Reed.
Crystal Springs Farm Is In the south
eastern portion of the city and. con
alsts of about 60S acres, which was ac
quired many years ago by the late W.
S. Ladd and developed by him into one
of the finest and most widely known
of blooded stock farms on th Paclflo
Coast . ; - " -'- , , '
X-and Zs Elevated.
That portion of the 800 acres whleh
was selected by W. M. Ladd to te
donated as a site for the Reed Jnstl
tutlon is the elevated land Just north
of and adjoining the site of the fsrm
house and barns. It commands a mag.
ntficent view , of the entire city and
surrounding country, and, aside . from
the fact that th property comes to ths
trustees without cost, it came nearer
meeting the requirements of the entire
board of trustees than any other site
out of the 88 or more tracts offered.
The site of the proposed college may
be reached by both the Bellwood and
Woodstock carllnes, and tha main line
of the Southern Paclflo passes within
a few blocks of where the buildings of
the Institution will stand. .
At a special, meeting of the trustees
of the institute held yesterday for the
final consideration of the question of
site for the institute, the following
communication from W. M. Ladd presi
dent of the. Ladd Estate company, was
presented and read:
vr. T. I Ealot, chairman Board of
Trustees. Reed Institute, city. Dear
Dr. Eliot: During the severs! months
the trustees of the Reed Institute have
had under - consideration the selection
Of a site, the Ladd Estate company, be
cause of the life long close friendship
of the late Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Reed and
the late Mr. and Mrs. W. 8. Ladd. has
had In mind a plan to further the noble
work to be carried on by your board of
truatees through the liberal gift of Mrs.
Reed, by offering to your board,' as a
donation, 40 acrea In what Is known
as our Crystal Springs Farm, In the
southeastern portion of this city.
The tract we desire to offer is in i
that portion of the farm lying east of
the . lake and between our present farm
house and the north boundary of our
proprety, the intention being to give
you practically that piece which was 1
looked over by yourself and Mr. Olds.'
We ; offer this tract of " land without
restrictions or qualifications upon the ;
gift, other than the understanding that
it Is to be used as the location and
site of the college or university to be
established and controlled by your board
under the terms of Mrs. Reed's will.
"This letter Is intended to show our
desire In the matter and to assure you
that at your convenience I will be
pleased to meet with you and arrange
the details of the deed of gift
"Tours sincerely,
"W. M. -LADD, President.
Arrange to Meet ladd.
... Following a careful discussion and
consideration of the whole situation, the
Boards of Trustees passed a resolution
instructing the sub-committee to ar
range a meeting with Mr. Ladd for th
purpose of carrying out the details for
the acceptance of title to the property.
: The motion was coupled with expres
sloes of appreciation on the part of each
of the trustees present of the great
benefit which the Institute Is receiving
and of confidence that the proposed
site will furnish an adequate perman
ent grounds and campus for the build
lngs and the work which it Is Intended
that the Institute shall carry forward
as a. college and university.
It was announced at yesterday's meet-q
Ing of the Board of Trustees that noth
in Is to be done In the way of plan
nlng the necessary buildings for the
4. h
Institute until after an executive head
for the college has been selected. '
"In this matter the trustees will move
as cautiously as they have in the selec
tion of & site for the Institution,' said
a member of the board last night This
makes It improbable- that any active
tene in the direction of erecting the
college buildings will be taken for sev

E. 13th St. Improvement.
In accordance with the prediction
made by The Journal some time ago,
Mayor Simon yesterday afternoon filed
a veto message with the- city auditor
disapproving the action of the city coun
ell In passing an ordinance prescribing
the time and manner of improving East
Thirteenth street The message of the
mayor follows: '
"To the council: Gentlemen-1 re
turn herewith without my approval.
Ordinance No. 20,707. entitled, 'An Or
dinance providing for the time and man
ner of Improving East Thirteenth street
from the south line of Thompson street
to the north line of Halsey street,'
passed by the council January 16, 1910.
'The ordinance in question provldea
for paving East Thirteenth street be
tween the points designated, with War
ren bltullthlo water proof pavement
The- record discloses the fact that a
large majority of the property owners
affected by the Improvement remon
strated against the character of the
improvement proposed. As I figure it
the property affected by the improve
ment aggregates 320,000 feet The city
of Portland owns two lots, equal to 10.
000 feet which, If deducted from the
former, would leave 810,000 feet. The
remonstrance Is signed by property own
ers interested in 843,800 reet just a
trifle Jess than the necessary eighty
per cent required to legally defeat the
improvement. . . ' --
'The number of lots affected by the
proposed Improvement "is 62, exclusive
of the two city lots, and the number of
lots for which remonstrances hays been
signed aggregate SOU. ; A large num
ber of the property owners affected by
this proposed Improvement have called
upon me, protesting against the .char
acter of the improvement. I am advised
that the great majority of the property
owners are in favor of Hassam pave
ment. !v ,i .
"These property owners have united

asking the council to pass a resolution

In the event that it shall be determined

property owners Interested In a proposed

permitted to determine" the character
of such hard surface Improvement and
