Currey, president of the Rose society, was host yesterday at a lunch eon given at the Imperial hotel at which covers woreAd for 24, the guests being the of fleers of - the society, the directors of the various districts and newspaper representatives. 1 At the. conclusion of . the ' luncheon, ' President Currey spoke briefly and an . nounced the various classifications for the forthcoming show. In-the classifi cation list number of changes have . been made, .the most important Being trr doing away with the names of roses .. with the single exception of the Caro line Testout. This elimination of names will enable people to compete In 'the various classes according to color and general character of flower regardless of name. The new mayor's class for 12 Caroline Testout's was. also r abandoned. For this the mayor will give a trophy. - . .-..-., The directors were urged to secure individual exhibits from their districts, but in case people do 'not care to ex hibit personally yet will contribute flow ers, these may enter in the director's name and she will receive the trophy. Kach director was urged to collect all roses possible as a special decorative feature which Mr. Currey la planning will require 1000 blossoms. Then too each visitor to the Rose show this sea son will be given a rose. "I A. Brown suggested to the district directors that they spy out tholr gardens at this time and then tell the owners that they hope to receive contributions from them. This, he said will be an im petus for special care of the bushes and blossoms. Alfred Tucker explained the ease with which entries may be made and gave the suggestion that flowers may be best kept if put In water up to 'the blossoms. Just let the rose be above water and the flowers will last much longer than when merely the tips of the stems are immersed. Many new jars of a dull sage green and some receptacles, holding from one to (0 roses, have been secured for th show. The fact that some of the best prizes were taken last year by people who had never before competed, should encourage other new exhibitors. Following is the list of directors of theuflarious districts: ' Portland Heights, Mrs. J. A. Keating; Willamette Heights, Mrs. Hicks Fenton; ft Johns, Mrs. G. S. Manning; Irving 4on, Miss Anne Kurti; Rose City Park, Mrs. T. T. Geer; Sunnyslde. Mrs. J. T. Wilson; Mount Tabor, Mrs. G. K. Clark; Mellnda Heights and Westover Terrace Mrs. H. II.

BIDS 1 Oil 1 i Commission Refuses AH Of fers for $1,250,000 Issue; Will Advertise Again; T 9 , Thinking that proposals for bonds of the Issue" Series B for $1,250,000 were not sufficiently high, the Commission of "Public Docks iyesterdy afternoon re Jected bids . made for the -bonds. The highest was for 1956.40 or at 95.(4 per cent with accrued interest to the date of delivery. It is probable that the bonds will be readvertised. There were four bids for the bonds which were to have been delivered May 20. The bids were rejected on motion of Commissioner Ben Selling, seconded by. Commissioner Dan Kellaher, both of whom believed that a better price could be secured later. The rest of the com mlssloners concurr4nV this Idea and the rejection was unanimous. Depositing a certified check for 162,600, Henry Teal, of'thta tty, made a bid of $956.40 or at 95.64 per cent and accrued interest to date of delivery. The Provident Savings & Trust company, Cincinnati, O., offered to take $100,000 of the Issue at par less $8930 which they said was to cover the expense of the bid. William At Read & Co., New York, bid $1,185,125 Or at 94. SJ per cent and accrued interest while E, H. Rol 11ns & Son, Chicago, offered $1,163,760 with accrued Interest or at 92.80 per cent.' . . ' . , V- ; - In each case the bidders asked for copy of the letter from Storey, Thorn dyke, Palmer & Dodge, bond experts of Boston, which firm in their opinion de dared that the . Issue Is legal. . The proceeds from the sale of the bonds was to be used for the purchase of dock altes now under condemnation and for expenses Incurred In maintain lng the field force. However, all the commissioners seemed to be of the opln Ion that the bonds should bring their par value as they are redeemable In SO years and draw 4ft per cent payable semi-annually. - , PLAN TO INCREASE CLOSED PREI0DS OF' THE BRIDGE DRAWS 4 To ascertain whether It Is teas 4 lble to close the bridge draws fo Jonger . periods during . the 4 4 morning and evening rush, th county commissioners yesterday 4 Instructed foremen of the vari- 4 , ous bridges connecting east and west side, to keep a record of the number of boats passing through tthe draws during each day.
