( , the welcome given them by tha Flying
J Legion, the exposition management ana
the commercial organizations. On the
wet streets the white uniforms were
conspicuously summery, but the pro

T. Sesnon, II. E. Henlon, Byron Mausey,
representing the mayor. Commander Sel
lers, aide to President Moore of the ex

In automobiles the Rosarlans were
taken to the exposition building, and
there saw M miniature panorama the
show that is to dazzle the world in
1915. It is to be the "buff city." the
usual glaring white of expositions hav
ing been softened and harmonised. Then
came a swift ride to the exposition
grounds and the site for the Oregon
state building. ' It overlooks San Fran
cisco bay and faces the Golden Gate.
The Portlanders planted 63 rose bushes
one for every year of Oregon's state

- Luncheon ''was ' at" the' Commercial

and plant on its grave the rose, of good
wilt and good luck."

CITY TO LOSE
Action of Maguire, Daly ', and Jennings in Blocking Emer
gency Clause for. Rates Ordinance in Attempt to Force a
Flat Meter Charge for All Consumers, Places Depart
ment Face to Face With Deficit.
Obstinacy on-the part of Councllmen
Maguire, Daly and Jennings In refusing
to reccdo from a position. they, had pre
viously taken resulted this morning In
the failure of the 1913 water rate ordin
ance to pass the city council ( with an
emergency clause.
Although the ordinance received nln
votes it will not become effective for
SO days, and meanwhile the water
board will be powerless to "collect fo;
water. '' .
It is even doubtful It the board will
ever be able to collect for the month
of January, and in that event the wa
ter department would face a deficit at
the end of the year. The. estimated re
ceipts for the year are $830,000. If the
ratts for January can not be collected,
one twelfth of this sum, or $69,164
Would be lost.
Three members of the council were
absent today, so that unanimous con
sent of the remaining 13 would , have
been necessary to carry the rate ordin
ance with an emergency clause.
The nine councllmen who voted for the
ordinance are not all agreed that the
present rates, as recommended by the
water board for the ensuing year arenas
satisfactory as they might be.. but these
Councllmen took the view that it would
bebetter to proceed slowly! before, mak
ing any radical changes. They de
clared that it "would be folly for them
to overrule .on a moment's notice the
conclusions of the water board members
who Save given the water situation

vised to sdvantage," said Councilman
Burgard, voicing the views of a ma
jority of the councllmen, "but It la now
too late for us to act arbitrarily.1 The
matter is one for investigation and
study, ' and I earnestly hope that the
council will pass this ordinance now,
and then determine on what changes
are advisable In time to put these Into
effect In 1914." ,
The plea of Councilman Burgard
failed to convince the three recalcitrant
lawmakers that their course was wrong.
Councilman Maguire moved to amend
the ordinance to make the meter rate
16 2-3 cents per 1000 gallons, regardless
of the quantity of water consumed. The
measure provides for a sliding scale.
Consumers who use 4500- gallons or less
In a month are required to pay the
maximum meter rate of 16 2-3 cents.
Those who use more than 150,000 gal
lons enjoy a rate- of 13 1-3 cents and
the rate for consumers of more than
250,000 gallons a month ls10 2-3 cents.
"I believe the mlnlmumgtjieter rate
should be 60 cents a morrtrv' said Mr.
Maguire, "and I am also of the opinion
that a flat meter rate of 16 2-3 cents
per 1000 gallons should be established
for all classes of consumers. We should
not look at this matter from the view
point of taxpayers, but from the view
point of consumers.
Says Bates Discriminate.
"A great majority of the small con
sumers do not own property. They
are forced to pay the maximum rate per
1000 gallons while large factories get
a reduced rate. The Statistics of the
water department show.that these fac
tories and other large -consumers are
now using 260,000 gallons of water a
day, or one eighth of the total amount
supplied through meters. This water
has been supplied for commercial pur
poses at rates a good deal lower than
it would have cost, the beneficiaries to
pump the water from the river and had
it not been supplied the city would not
have had to spend $3,000,000 In putting
