With the remarkable record to theli1 credit of having all assessments paid before the expiration, of the legal time limit, property owners a pn ; Morrison t street will soon see actual work begun j on the opening of that ' thoroughfare through to Washington street Not a foot of the property assessed! jfor the improvement had to be sold by the city treasurer to enforce the payment of assessments. The last dol- I lar of these assessments which totalled 1 approximately $174,000 was paid Wed nesday. Usually In cases of this kind where an improvement reauires the assessment ! ot affected property, some beneficiary thinks himself aggrieved, carries his troubles into court and does not pay un til compelled to by the courts or until Ua t.a. ....... ....11.- t.A . 1 j Illy UWBUIC1 ODilB UJV (IIUpCIlJT io meei me cnarges levied against, u. There was not one obstructionist con nected with the opening of Morrison street. The next move in the opening of the street will be the presentation and pas sage by the city council of a resolution formally approving of the opening of the street and authorizing the work to be done. When this resolution has! been passed by the council and approved by the mayor the next step will be the build ing of a fill or trestle over the north end of Multnomah field. Before the city engineer can proceed with this work however the property owners will have to petition the council for leave to do the work or the council will have to order it done by resolution. City En gineer Morris Is ready to go ahead with the work as soon as the authorization is made and because of Its importance, he Is preparing to give It as much pre cedence as possible. It is believed that if the move to have Portland Heights cars routed down Morrison street to Fifth and then up Washington street is successful that the opening of the street and the improve ments made will result In establishing Morrison street on a parity with Wash ington street as an Important west side retail thoroughfare. Property val ues are already showing quick response to the contemplated improvement and have gone up remarkably since it was suggested. Goddard & Wledrick, real estate deal ers, who have been remodeling their office at 243 Stark street, will have the work completed so that they can move in by the last of the month. ( The room has been completely redec orated, the celling being covered with paneled metal work, below which Is jl wide frieze and below that the walls have been tinted a light yellow, finished with dado of dark bronze. ,The wood work has been painted a cream color and the floor covered with linoleum laid in tile patterns. The entire decoration Is Intended to conserve light as much as possible. The front Is bain ted a bottle green. - f'-' - ' "' Goddard A Wledrick Wave Just re newed their lease on these premises for a long term and have gone; to som expense, but they will have an up to date office wlt,h additional quarters for salesmen, etc. At the rear of the office Is a large fireproof . vault, which has been prepared for the safekeeping of the valuable papers of the firm and thelt clients. - '.; , niTi" nrnunTiniio III . UCQTCDM PAMAflA Montreal, Jan. 28. The railway com missioners yesterday afternoon - gave their formal approval of the new sleep ing and parlor car tariffs which go Into effect February 16. As pointed out by Chairman Mabee,' the new tariff will make a general reduction in . sleeper rates In spite of the fact that the rates west of Calgary will be higher by tw mills per mile than in the eastern sec tions. Judge Mabee in giving approval said the commission hesitated to ap prove the higher western rates, but as the companies, were anxious to have the new rates come Into force February 15 they had decided to give consent to their adoption, on condition that the right of agitating for lower rallwsy rates in the Canadian west be not inter fered with.
