il 111 TO INSTALL Pratests Against System Made - Before Public Docks Com mission; Claim It Would Endanger' Freight. . Strongest objection was made yes terday afternoon at the meeting- of the commission of public dock to the, ac tion of the proposed waterfront ordi nance which. deals with the question of sprinkler systems on the docks. : Sev eral of the large number of waterfront property, owners, who were present, talk ed mrttlnat belnsr compelled" to Install such systems on old docks, not only because of expense, but because of prob able damage It might cause to certain classes. of freight, : -' ". ' " The taeetlns- called by the fiomrals- slon lasted from , i o'clock yesterday afternoon until nearly 6 during whicn time the members listened' to the com ments and objections to each section of the proposed ordinance as It was read by the clerk. As the commission wisnes to look Into the criticisms of the dock owners and waterfront property , owtv ers at length, a stenographer took down all the proceedings of the meeting and Chairman Mulkey will ,haye a copy prt- sented to each member or the commis sion that they may be considered at length. : v -v-v Would Damage rrelfat. !' In connection with the installation of automatic sprinkling systems on the old docks, it 'Was pointed out thai on some classes of property it would be dangerous to use them as In the cai of places' . where electrical machinery is in use, while on docks . where ce ment, plaster, grain and flour is stored, and the sprinklers should be started by a small fire in another' section of the dock, that class of freight would be damaged, .although the fire might not JCafiTear enough or large enough to burt It was suggested as an alternative that the old docks be piped in sections and that hose connections be made on the outside of the dock for the use of flreboats or engines. .. :,, ; . ' When the section governing repairs to old property was read, the question arose as to whether a provision compel ling the filing of plana would include the redecking of one level of a dock and other minor repairs that might not ex ceed $500. It was explained that while plans were pot necessary, a formal ap plication would nave to be filed for per mission. On the assertion of I A. Lewis, of Allen & Lewis, that as the proposed ordinance prescribed nory-coni-bustible material being used there could be no repairs made to existing .wooden docks. K. I Qllsan said that be rep resented two waterfront structures that could not be repaired with incombusti ble material and that for this reason the . structures, which. otherwise mlgnt i stand for years, would be rendered use less, ,'. .' ..;;;. A Criticise Proposed Measure. Criticism was made to a section of the proposed measure in which certain structures are to be prohibited witnln 100 feet of the. harbor line. It was pointed out by. A. C. Spencer, of the O. Xt. R. & Nr; legal department, that this " would interfere with the construction ; of the proposed mill and ' elevators of the Globe Milling company, while W. It. Baggot, the Portland representative I of the milling company, said that to ; remove the mill and elevators beyond j 75 feet from the harbor line would make ; the expense of conveying prohibitive. ' 1 It was suggested by G. W. Boschke, f chief engineer of the 0.-W. R. & J that the fronts of the different docks be covered by heavy planks spaced a few inches apart to prevent the col lection of drift under the docks and thus do away with a big fire danger. The spacing between the planks would - also give plenty of ventilation, he said. " Xalsed Qusstlo or Title. 7, Perhaps the tensest point in this very earnest consideration was the question i of title below hlga. water .line,, raised by Attorney Wood, ; representing w terfront owners lie declined to name. The ordinance provides that where there " is sea wall construction, it must be put at least BO feet in rear of harbor line, and If filled In behind, a disclaimer of title would be required as to the land now below high water line. . - The port commission has offered, where sea wall construction la used, to fill in behind, In some case gratuit ously. .':;,;,......-. .... Mr. Swlgert said no owner would con sent to such disclaimer and suggested that disclaimer be required only . of title that might aoorue from such fill ing. Chairman Mulkey. made It plain that the object was to require the ri parian owner to quit claim below high w water line as to title and to bo con minted with a wharf right regulated by ie dock commission. '.Mr. Spencer , asked if the provision : Mat sea walls must be 100 feet back : of harbor line, between Morrison and Broadway bridges on both both sides of the river, .was inserted for the . pur pose of preserving the public title be low high water line, .i ; ; V ' By section 68, the structures which ; may be erected below the ordinary high water ' line, are ' limited to - docks, ' wharves, piers, warehouses and dock terminal facilities. . I''V .,'',v--', i Section 69, provides for oondemnadon of dangerous buildings. These sIbo met .with objections. " ' That the meeting was successful from " the point of view of the criticism af forded there can be no doubt as the ' rooms of the : commission were filled and those who did not Join in the criticism at least took a deep Interest In the precedlngs.' .

J, O'Reilly returned to Eugene Mon day after conducting the institute, at Florence for the coast division of Lane county teachers. While here Superin tendent Baughman visited the district at Heceta Head, which makes the second tlms a superintendent hao ever visited that remote district. ;, One important feature of the Insti tute was a school board meeting which was attended by directors from most Of the districts. The question of consolida tion of districts was discussed and it was pointed out that especially along the rivers where pupils could be trans ported easily and cheaply in launches, a half dozen or more districts could With advantage be combined.' Superintendent Baughman was pleased to find most of the schools provided with teachers. Last year many districts went a-begglng. Heceta school started Monday. Mercer Lake- eight miles north of Florence, with families so far apart that the pupils stay at home and a peripatetic , teacher instructs them by turns; this district has also secured a teacher, District io. 143, north of Heceta, however, is still without si teach er.. This district lapsed and was only recently reorganised. ' It has had only about two weeks of school in four years. SENDING OUT TEACHERS' EXAMINATION QUERIES , (Salem Bureau of The Journal.)
