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.',;; .

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

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

county court had not reestablished - the
boundaries of the two Weston pre
cincts to correspond with the city lv

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

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.

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 ,
