COVER EAST SIDE
Horth Portland Commercial
Club Approves Scheme as
Far as It Goes.
After listening -to a report on the
Greater Portland Plans last night it
was the sense of the Joint meeting of
members Of the North Portland Com
mercial club and the, Woman's auxil
iary, that the plans are all right so far
as they go, "but that additions of ad
vantage to North Portland and tha east
aide generally should be made. ' To the
end thatr such additions ma be consid
ered, a delegation of 100 east side busl-
mn with some women delegates,
.ni Mniint Tnbor rptiresentatlves. will
meet at the Clifford hotel on the eaH
aide the night or ueceraoer jv. n i
probable that at that meeting plana for
hew specifications lor me ureaier fori
lurnt Plana will ha recomrfiended." ;
v 'The Greater Portland plans seem to
meet with general approval so far as
they go," said J. H. Nolta, ex-presldent
of the North Portland uommercia ciuo
hut It- la nur idea that some improve'
ments can be made In fairness to ov
section. At any rate, what we want
nmthinr that will nrovlde for 'better
plans right away. - We want action now
particularly, glad as we are to nave
aorae general plan offature action for
a Greater Portland." , t
The Greater Portland plan was ax
trained h Marshall N., Dana. A reso
lutlon later was adopted recommending
the appointment 01 air. juana aa poai
reaster of Portland to succeed the late
C. B. Merrick.
Xfr Nnlt Introduced a resolntlon look
lng to the establishment of a trades
school on tha east side, explaining that
haaiina nf tha arrester number of peo
ple to be served," and the lower real
estate values, such a district is tne
practical location for such an institu
tion. It was also decided to have a "Broad
way Bridge Day," to celebrate the open
lng of the new bridge,, with Judge Mun
ley as chairman of tha committee In
charge of arrangements.
Dn r.anlutlnn of Mr ' Nolta. it WSS
Voted that the Oregon slough should be
made a part of the city or roruana. so
that when the slough la dredged and
becomes of value because of shipping
possibilities it will be under the control
of the municipal government
Mr. Nolta stated that he would intro
duce a measure at the next session of
the state legislature recommending that
the slough bo placed la the control of
the Port of Portland.

SUBURBANITES
OVE TO REDUCE SPED
j, Suburbanites already have cham-
ploned tha cause of fast travel by street
j cars. Each mall brings to Chief of Police
Blover a letter from soma street car
I traveler. In which the chief la asked to
not reduce the speed of ears; .'For sev
"eral. mornings a special' speed officer
has timed street cars, finding they are
t" greatly exoeedlng ths limit
-t Tuesday morning an officer timing
: j Mt. (Bcott cars on Hawthorne avenue re
. J ported 'tha cars going on an, average of
2B miles an hour. In view of this, the
l',t following letter has 'been received
'1 among a large number of others:
'J "l live three miles out on the Mount
i Scott line. Every morning during the
:"jrush hours I am SO minutes reaching
ij Second and Alder streets. If the cars
,Jj were covering SO miles an hour,-1 ought
to get Into the city In six minutes. On
1'jan average, tha cars make eight stops,
:Sj losing less than one half minute at each
' stOD. ' That means a loss of four mln-
v5 utea ; This added-to the six-minutes
that a car should reach the city if com
lng straight through, makes a total of
,;;10 minutes It would take to ride Into
' the city. If the- cars go SO miles-an
y hour. So you sea the facts and the re-
. port submitted to you do not coincide.
n "as a matter of fact, the cars run
too slowly. It Is claimed by Call for
i nlans that the suburban cars running
;,.out of Los Angeles make twice as good
t time. If the cars on Hawthorne avenue
exceed the speed limit what about au to
ll mobile? There Is not a morning that
I'tnese trazs machines oo not go whls
j'.sing by the cars, running at double the
.' speed or the former.

Peper, an employe of the store, who re-
