fee'- u j uLi i Lui) Ichns People Complain of Long Delays in Paving of Thcrcjghfarcs. St. Johns Is a writable quagmire, of mud cs ths result of delay and careless ness In ths work of street Improve ments in that city. St Johns Is making s hard f lsrht to become a paved city, but through the carelessness of. contractors, it Is claimed that worlc has been delayed till It is evident that" the, people must fuffprihrous!LJh8,wlr.terwUh.j(ieet that in many instances completely for bid travel over them. ; . ' The city council of St Johnsh as shown but little Interest In hurrying this work, and in fact last night savs lonir exten-. tions of time to contractors. .Jhis re moves the penalty wiilch would other wise fail on the con tractors for failure to complete their' work. Aa a result Of continued plodding through the mud and the action of tbe council !n falling to come to their ' rescue, the people of the little city down the Willamette are very indignant , . ' . Savla ' Condmsi System. .- ! Protests were" voiced in part this morning by the Junior -member of the real estate firm of McKmney ft Davis. -We are up 'against a combination of circumstances which means loci of con siderable money to the city," said Mr. Davis. 'It is next to Impossible to sell real estate because people will not buy whore they .find such mudhole being masqueraded under the names of streets, Tiit- streets being paved are among the leading streets used ; by. teamsters in petting about the city, and prices for hauling are higher than they ought to be es a result, and we cannot refuse this evidence in selling property. As a re sult., many a man who would otherwise buy here and settle down is settling elsewhere.- The city council apparently has but little of the people's Interests at heart, for they are giving the com panies extensions of time, which mean further sufferings by the people here." Extensions Of Tim Granted. r Extensions were given at last night s meeting of the. St Johns city council to Kilkenny brothers and P. Q. Swan. It is claimed that Kilkenny brothers failed to go to work for six weeks after the contract for-ths Improving of Jer sey street was let to tnem and, as a rt suit . they axs behind In their work. When they went to workr the rainy sea son had started and they are often de layed from doing any work in their Jcb. The extension asked for' was of 90 days length and was readily granted by the council. F. G. Swan gives Ins excuss for 11 delay In his work as being unable to ob tain cement In this city... He is far be hind In his work and It is claimed that the real reason is that be baa been too sparing in the number of men he has put to work on bit Jobs. Ha was grantod SO days' time additional to fin ish, hia work in., Swan 'is working on thevColumhla boulevard. ' ' This strip ' of road with the work being left open by Kilkenny brothers on Jersey street leaves f ths city with but one. road Into Portland. , r A further "bit of street work to be taken up was put under way last night When ths council instructed Recorder A.

Collier was granted permission to hire an assistant, he to pay his salary.

LOCAL CIVIL SERVICE ' MEN DESIRE PENSIONS At a meeting of the classified civil service employes ' of this city, held in the Y. M. C A. assembly hall Tuesday evenln a unanimous " resolution was adopted, asklngcongress to take favor able action on pending bills providing a pension fund for governmental workers v 1 i , nt;i.:vi'l f.'r , r i t '1 lie nioi't'.-.r was ntfodrd lv r-'t. master Merrios and a number of otber prominent ofticials of Portland. More than 40 letters from leading tnIno!! men of the city advocating the passage of the pensiort laws were rend. Similar rnoetlnsrs are being held all over the United States by civil service employes, in res-rone to a request from congress that Information be forwardedj to Washington showing public senti ment concerning the proposed legisla tion. The government has faced a, se rious problem for the past few years on account 'of the increasing ineffi ciency of the various governmental de partments, due to the fact that many of the employes are old men who no longer can give value received in the way of service. Yet the government hesitates to discharge, the army of old fellows who have worn -themselves out working for Uncle 'Sam. A pension fund is the only alternative. Complaint Against S. P. Co.
