THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING; NOVEMBER, 24, 1911. SbbBSn FOR GREATER CITY Architect, Bennett's Design In- V aorsea onowmg taiKS oy Postmaster Merrick,, and Park Superintendent Mische r Two hundred South Portland boosters met last night In St Lawrence hill and to a man Indorsed the Greater Portland plan Postmaster C, B. Merrick presi dent of the Oreateq Portland Plana as sociation, and Park' Superintendent U. T. Mische were the speakers. ' They were introduced by the chalramn, . Burt C. Jones. ...(. Mr. Merrick declared that the devel opment of the plan for systematically building the cjty after the design, of the world's greatest authority would be of Inestimable value to the city as a whole and to very section, particularly South Portland, where the f. need of parks and boulevards, better, transpor tation' facilities and more conveniences is frequently spoken of by the booster themselves. : ' ., :,'. The history of the movement y for building the future city in accord with a definite plan was , related by ' Mr. Merrick, who explained how the Civic Improvement league, ..which, raised ? a fund of $21,000 to pay for the plan formulated by Municipal Architect B. H. Bennett,' has been succeeded by the Greater ..Portland . Plans"- association, whose purpose is., to enlist the masse jbt the people 'in cooperative effort for forty building. v .-. w:-1 ' ..-v.',;; . y ' Vnrfliiilla.Vi.V avam- Each civic organization- in Portland lit been brought Into direct touch with the general organization through the election of a delegate -from, each asso ciation, hi dnty being to study the plan in the .light of the needs of bis locality that Improvement found noces , sary may be made a unit of the general plan.' v, . ' .. v Park' Superintendent Mische. ex plained with- steraoptlcon views Port land' great opportunity - to - have the best ' park system In the world, then showed how mall Portland' 700 acre J if parka for 150,000 people appear n comparison with the vastly greater park area ef cities' of similar' sice and less available park area i v "The park acreage of a ' community to be well supplied 1 partly deduclbl by methods of . comparison," said Mr, Mische. "With the Increase of density ef population the per capita aoreage need Increase. For a given popula tion the area'' may be sufficient a a whole, but by - reason of a poor dis tribution does it prove to be inadequate, being excessive in the outlying sections and insufficient in the more densely occupied area. ' J Prepare for Tatar. To anticipate the needs of a section and it relation to a larger area of the community becomes-1 one of the most . dlffioult problems in the estab lishment of a park system. Primarily the admonition is to secure sufficient ground lest the restricted area fail to serve the Intended purpose effectively. "Boccept small triangles and accents In ,th general street system and tftesd have' primarily and almost exclusively orjiamental value the playgrounds are thte". smallest parcels of park property. Most desirably are they located contig uous to schools in order to furnish 'op portunities for greatest usefulness and in distribution the frequency of school needs are identical with district recre ational requirements. In the centers of built up sections this becomes a matter of large expense and every available means of reducing it is imperative..' Among the more common of these la to mnke limited provision at specific Bite fend, at alternate locations give more fulsome facility, by means of regula tionas to hours of use by groups or classes, by a succession of class exor cises and hour of free play to accom modate a larger , volume of use without Interference, ' 'v -Hiri ''''.:;'; Mace for ftortV';i::4' Next to the playground come area Of 25 to 60 acre In extent wherever a larger- locality can find 'agreeable pastlmr of varying sort either for game on turf instead of barren or paved, surf a oes. amid a frame or sooth ing green, of quietude without molesta tion or to indulge in . game requiring a 1 large area to accommodate a . com paratively few people. Another group of properties are those embracing - facilities ' " for ; f, specialised forms of recreation bathing and canoe ing, track sport and large forest and beach . reservation :, where' expanse i a prerequisite of a satisfactory develop ment. or me unit."-' -:'.!?; -;; Another feature of apeclal moment is a aerie of connecting way partaking of park influence and contrasting with nearby city site, and sound. These route are to extend Into the street sys tem and connect the larger park areas while traversing routes threading the vantage point and interesting localities Of topographic, landscape and soenlo of ferings of the region, MASS MEETING NAMES CANDIDATES AT WESTON ' (Bipedal to The Journal. ' Weston, Or Nov.-84. At a primary mas meeting H. A. Brandt was re-nominated unanimously for mayor. Other nominees were: For councilman, J. M. Ashworth, I: B. Oavla, G. DeGraw, F. H. Beathe; for recorder, I R.- Van Win kle; for treasurer, 8. A. Barnes. It 1 considered likely that this ticket will be elected December 4 without opposition The council ha - decided to proceed with the apeclal election December 4 to determine whether or not Weston shall remain in' the "dry" column. - The attor ney general baa ruled that such an elec tion would'; he irregular because the county court had not reestablished - the boundaries of the two Weston pre cincts to correspond with the city lv lta The council, however, dealrea an expression from the voters. of a certificate of partnership of Phil lips and ' Frank iAldrloh, maker of the Aldrlch notes, with which the bank wf heavily loaded when it. dosed, and n assignment of mortgage by Phillips and Aldrlch as a firm as late as last June. Richardson was still on the stand at noon, giving the. results- of hi work on the book.

The latter sent letters of warn ing to Phillip concerning loose bank ing methods prior to the time Mohun dro became. examiner. ' ' Bitter Depositor at Trial.' Interest in the trial Is shown by a large number of depositors who have come from Vancouver to hear the testi mony . against the man aocused -of wrecking the bank. Among these are Several women. A number of these de positors have come to Kalama to camp until the case is finished. There is a deep undercurrent of bitterness, but no open manifestation of it in the courtroom.- v. Continuing the offer of formal proofs, begun yesterday, Prosecuting Attorney Tempe first offered in testimony a certified copy of the certificate of part nership of Phillip and. Aldrlch, which was admitted on the . promise of the prosecutor to show that worthies note of this firm rested in the bank at the time It failed. Thi . wa followed by the Introduction of an assignment or mortgage by Aldrlch ' A Co. to J. T. Burtchell. :Vs;''V..:v;vV i:,-- 7'hla gives direct proof over the ig nature of Aldrlch and Phillip of their partnership of the firm of Aldrlch & Co.. private banker at Goldendale, Wash., on of the inside corporation which is alleged to have had a share n lootlnsf the .bank. As Phillips was president of the Commercial bank and one of the firm obtaining loans, it will be - contended that he had absolute knowledge of the insecurity of the loan upon which the Aldrlch notes were based.

COAST TERMINALS k ARE GIVEN LOWER - BACK HAUL RATES - (Continued from Page One.) ruling will:-widen Portland' distribu tive area considerably," said Mr;- Teal thl morning, "but how much would be impossible to say without the full text of the decision and a comparison with .existing rates. Order Based on Season. ' "The order is based on the reasonable ness of the rate, and I think it not at all likely that -the commerce court will enjoin the rate established by this, rul ing." J. ,H. Lothrop, - traffic manager of the chamber of commerce transportation committee, said he would be unable to give any definite information a to the effect ' of the ruling, except that since the reduction have been granted it will naturally have a tendency to widen Portland' area for distribution. "We can't tall what effect this rul ing will have," explained Mr. Lothrop, "until we get the full text of the com mission's opinion so that w can check up the rates. : ''"' "w , "Of course, it is bound to be Of bene fit to Portland jobbers and manufactur ers, as it will widen their field of dis tribution." - PHILLIPS' BANKING ' METHODS EXPOSED TO COWLITZ JURY r - ' (Continued from Page One.) state will try to show that, this was done to make a favorable showing In a statement of the bank's condtion made the -day . of the increase.
