A few Things He Has Done
He Har Saved the property owners and small home
owners of Portland over $3,000,000 in street improvements
and sewer work.
Under His Administration the price of hard surface
pavement has come down from 12 to 25, and- the '
cost for cement sidewalks, curbs and other street repair
work has been reduced fully 20 through his efforts.
He Is Saving the taxpayers of Portland over. $1000 per
month in the operation of the crematory department.
While the refuse destroyed is over a hundred , tons more
per day than under any previous administration, the cost
for fuel alone has been reduced over $700 per month.
He Has Reduced the price of oiling our streets from
$54 per mile under a previous administration to $22.90 per
mile, and is saving the taxpayers over $10,000 per year in
this one department. Many more miles of streets are now
being cared for at less cost to the people.
He Has Saved 40 the taxpayers the sum of $45,000 in
the construction of. fire engine houses during his two-year
term, and at the same time more fire houses, and of a bet
" ter type, are being constructed.
- He Accomplished a saving of $28,000 for the taxpayers
in filling Morrison street by having the city do the work.'
Under his direct supervision, this work was performed for
the sum of $2000, although the City Engineer's estimate
was $30,000.
He Is Saving the water users of Portland a sum esti
mated at $40,000 annually, which sum was expended in car
fares before the opening of 90 sub-pay stations in the resi
" dence districts. ', -
A General Reduction in the water rab has taken place
since he took office, in which the small user receives the
benefit.
-i
Through His Efforts, competition in the light and power
field has been induced to' come into the, city, which will
undoubtedly reduce lighting rates to those who are com
pelled to use electricity. y
Public Playgrounds for the children are being installed
all over the city as fast as funds become available for these
desirable improvements. , '
. Efficiency in the fire. and police departments has been in-
creased one 'hundred per cent during the two years of-1
Mayor Rushlight's term. v "
He Installed a Free Dental Clinic for children, Improved
the quality of milk furnished the homes of Portland tfimno-Vi
his reorganization of thkHealth Densirr.mtir - a-hrl-'W
added to the efficiency of every department of the city
without increasing taxation. - '

THE CITY COUNCIL, in the FRANCHISE they OFFERED MR.

(Broadway Bridge not included)." ,
They provided that he COULD NOT SELL, LEASE, TRANS
FER or ASSIGN the franchise without the CITY'S PERMISSION.
MR. HEUSNER said he WOULD-.NOT ACCEPT THE FRAN
CHISE under these conditions, for $500,000.
WHY ? Because HE knows and YOU should know, ' that the
Heusner Franchise is nothing but ' a plain promotion scheme.
