Because- of the street cleaning superintendent's position war has been declared against him by the association. " To , every member of the A association has been sent a letter con demning Donaldson and urging support or a sanding appropriation on the part of uio city council. ., . -. As an experiment, the Horse Owners' association obtained a sand sprinkler and used It on fridge approaches and " streets where there was both grade and : amooUi paving.,-.

Superintendent Donaldson says that the cost would be for Portland's 800 miles Streets toTaX6f 8i,'0t)0-for equip ment and S1230 dally upkeep. He also mentioned that sand grinds into dust hen the weather la dry. The letter to the members accuses Mr. Donaldson of misrepresenting the facts about the area desired to be sanded, of fearing 'that the cost was to be taken - from his appropriation, and adds, con cerning cost: . . Cost Is yomlnal. -"We qan do this work In a manner satisfactory to all concerned for $8080 p-;r year, a cost of 12 per mile or II) ' cents per block. ."When the weather gets dry there Is no complaint from the dust. The Meier ft Frank company -and Olds, Wortman & , . King are. two of many local mercantile 'houses among our members and strong- . est supporters. - .. , Mr. Donaldson had said In his report .. that Instead' of sanding the streets, the horses should' be shod With rubber puds The letter retorts: .. "With an expense fund as prodigal as 'must be the street superintendent's, aa Indicated by his figures, rubber pads mlght bo used, but ..the dray firms of this city have no sack, and necessarily , must figure cost of production. " - . Engineer to So Work. Upon one thing the street superln tendent and the horse owners' asuocta 3Iofl rr 8feea,- namely,- that the- city engineer's department - should take -'charge of the work. The favorable at titude of the city nglnecr is set forth -l-s letter which, reads; . j 'The mayor and myself have had - this matter under consideration for soma time and thoroughly agree with the Hors" Owners' assoclatlonthat steps - should be taken st once to reUevelhis Situation. I' would recommend that tho iiter bo ' referred to 'the; Ways and ' queans - committee, recommending o them the purchase of one or more sand i sprinklers for the use or superintendent . of "Street cleaning department. It Is the . opinion of the mayor and myself that certain streets and especially the bridges crossing the river should be : sprinkled with coarse sand Immediately ' after sprinkling tho same." The King County Humane society of Seattle has written to the Horse Own ers' association' of Portland strongly commending the good done by the ex perimental sand sprinkler and asking how the sprinkler was gotten Into serv- Ice, the Seattle Idea being to take a pattern from Portland. !i ' ,V w g (" , J II ft tlllilllWlIi K 'i I lliilliilllllilillPII II -WORTH YAKIMA ELECTION ON LOCAL OPTION BARRED North Yakima city commission was en Joined yesterday from holding a local option election here November 6, by Judge' E.
