Declaring that " Maryland averse is the only possible direct route to the proposed Interstate bridge and that a suitable outlet has to be provided to connect with Delay street in Lower Al blna, a large delegation representing im provement organizations on the Penin sula appeared before the city council this morning. Opposition was voiced to the proponed boulevard system along t her river from Alblna to St. John. They want the boulevard built on the top of the bluff and have Maryland avenue connect di rectly with' the boulevard. The chief complaint against the lower boulevard is that it will make a 18 per cent grade on Maryland avenue from i Tremont to Delay streets. They argued that the assessments for the present proposed extension of Maryland avenue be discarded and the entire district re assessed. The people of St. Johns and other dis tricts far out on the. Peninsula have been fighting for the lower nouievaru, for if built it is said that the street car eompany will build a line and establish direct transportation without stops. The members of the council promised to glv fhe matter consideration. v RELIEF FORNEEDY FIREMEN Council to Offer Amendment for Benefit of Two Ineligible.

SOMERS TAXATION - SYSTEM EXPLAINED ' TOREALTY BOARD i (Continued From Page One.) buildlriKS in the United States pay something like $1,000,000,000 a year in taxeB for the support of state and local institutions. There Is no one who Is familiar with the all but complete lack of system In determining taxable values of real estate who will not say that at least 25 per cent of this enormous amount of money Is lnequitaoiy a- seKsed. Two hundred and fifty million ! dollars are thus, by governmental au- thorlty. taken unjustly out of the pock ets of some real estate owners for the benefit of other owners "Making all possible allowance for conscious favoritism by assessors, It is fair to say that most of this advantag Is gained by those whose assessed valu atlons are proportionately low simpi because there has heretofore existed no equitable standard for the appraisal o real estate. We liave adequate stand ards for measuring all other conunodl ties except land values. "Vie. paygfeaTTfespe"cT to the "effl cioncy expert who can analyze our In dustrial problems. V pay much at tention to municipal, county, school and state budgets, and we employ accoun' ants to watch carefully the expenditure of tiublio money after it has reached the public treasury. But all the graf possible in any city under the worst possible conditions is insignificant In comparison with the inequities result I ing from the unscientific tax valuatio methods, whicn are not confined to any locality or city or state. Assessors Lack Vroper Tools "Two weeks ago, in a conference with the city officials of Baltimore, Mayo Preston declared that the assessment of that"' city bore no possible relation to the values of the real estate. Two days before I heard the same story in a Connecticut city. On Wednesday the 8pokane tax records disclosed the same situation. Jt is not to be wondered at when we realize that the advance made in all other departments of the ad ministration of publlo affairs has been Ttrenlea - 1ft We Tatx " assessment depart nient, because that department has no possessed the proper tools for making the assessments equitable, and because taere has not been a general under standing of th fundamental principle. "The. Somera system has, in Its in atallation in 15 American 'and Canadian cities, proven that It Is a scientific tool, and that by Its use a tax assessor may so appraise, the real estate within his jurisdiction as to do justice to every property owner. The tax assessor of Multnomah county has "declared that lie wants to equalise his assessments, and it is my purpose to tell you something of the mechanism of . the" new tool ho proposes to use, and some of the bene fits of Its use. One Important Benefit. "One of the most Important of these benefits Is that under Somers system methods taxpayers may. personally par ticipate iri the study and determination of .land values, which will be equalized refore they are fixed. All who' are familiar with assessment methods know the impossibility of equalizing assess ments through i reviewing boards.

"And similar results have been ac complished in every city where the sys tem has been applied. "There are many c'ollatera) benefits of the adoption of an equitable stand ard fe-r a tax assesnment. One of the most Important of these benefits is the standardization of Bite values. Salc3 prices have closely followed the Somers values elsewhere, and the owners of Portland real estate could demonstrate to prospective buyers the fair values of properties offered, either for 'sale or as collateral for loans. Accurate Inventory Possible. "The city could compile an accurate Inventory of the value of the property owned by the city and UBed In municipal activities, as the lysis for a modern bookkeeping system, sucn as nas re cently been, established by the city of Cleveland. Your school authorities and your county authorities could do this also. "In the opening of new streets, as they may be required, your city authori ties would be protected against exces sive demands and could apply exact methods for the computation of bene fits of such city improvements, and jvluitlier, .in- fact, iu:h..auprovmaita sie 1 justirieu, ror in ract lew sireei exten sions are justified unless they will in crease land values in an amount equal to their cost. "And above all Is the psychological advantage of special confidence on the part of taxpayers In the "fair deal' that will have beeh consummated by the es tablishment of equity, and the possible material reduction of the tax rate with out injury to anyone. Unit-Foot Is Yardstick. "Now. let us remember that the Som ers unit-foot Is the yardstick. Tlis unit-foot Is one foot of a frontage with a depth of 100 feet, representing tho value of the usefulness of the block frontage due to a single element of accessibility one street froptage. Based upon the Investigations of many thousands of situations in many cities, Mr. Somers has determined that 72 34 per cent of the value of the 100 feet of depth In the unit-foot lies in the 50 feet nearest the street, leaving but -7Vs pet cent of the value In the rear 60 feet. .TWa.rulaliIeca,itoni-Jithfcrarin..4i3, .in-L that it gives greater value to the haif of the unit x-losest to the street. "The first act of the assesor In the ue of the Somers system is to prepare a map showing tiiocK outlines for the central business district of his city. He tentatively determines the value of the Somers unit-foot upon all block front ages In this district, and uses these ten tatlve unit values as the basis for pub lic discussions in which all citizens are invited to participate; afterwards ex tending his work through the entire city, and having the henefit of the cen tral districts for constant comparison of judgments. t System Well High Infallible. "The consensus of onlnion which ma v. under the Somers system methods, be obtained from the community, is a well nigh infallible guide to relative and actual values. L.ittle Information can be gained from property owners as to the value of their holdings ho long as the assessor attempts to talk only about individual lot values. But when ci.i sens begin to talk about street value they can and will talk Intelligently. In Des Moines, Iowa, the relative values of the. Somers unit-foot upon the front age of more than 100 blocks in two sep arated business centers were deter mined by two edmmltteeS of cltlstena, working independently, without publicly expressing the dollar value .of a single frontage. My experience is that not more than per cent of the taxpayers in any com munity wiliytake advantage of their iicnuwm ii (nen u opportunity in the matter of. tax assessment. The other 98 per cent are not only willing. tfut glad, as well, ..to pay their propor tionate share of taxes If they are as sured that everyone will be treated fair ly and equitably and on exactly , the same-basis.'' Mr. Pollock briefly sketched the man ner of assessing buildings' under the Somers system, showing that this fea ture of assessing property has'also been reduced to a science that is fair aud equitable. : : ;- i " ; Mr. PoUock will ; remain here for several-day rrand"" will address other civic organisations, . announcements of which wilC be , made later. j Cuba Docsot Want McMaiilgal.

Nov. 21.- Industrial unions such as th Brewery - Workers, which are in a healthy condition and In almost complete control of an Industry, are not to be encroached upon by trade unions. - - Industrial .unions .which are making no. headway In Increasing their organi zation and are not In control of the in dustry are to bo broken up and the various craft untons-glven the right to organize these industries, This is the policy of the American Federation of I.tn.or today followiim the adoption of resolutions which preserve the Brewery Workers' union and pro vide for the breaking up of the Car riage, Wagon and Automobile Workers' union. An effort was made ty the Inter national Teamsters' union to aecure Jur isdiction over teamsters of mineral water and soft drink -wagon drivers, how members of tbe Brewers' union. During1 the debate it developed that many brewery owners, finding the de mand for beer falling off, have taken up the bottling of soft drinks, and that the brewers were forced to Include these workers In their union to retain control A roll call vote was demanded add the brewers' right to control these teamsters was upheld. by, a vote of H,08t to 4085. Delegates representing the metal trades, carpenters, electrical workers and upholsterers, claimed Jurisdiction over the men now in the wagon and automobile makers" union. It was shown that this union lias, less mm bet s today than it had 10' years ago, also that the trade unions claiming jurisdiction are planning'-a big cam palgn of organization into the auto mobile "industry. The resolution break ing up the old organization and pav ing the way for the trade unions to start their campaign was passed al most unanimously. Several other jurisdictional disputes were referred to the executive coun cil for adjustment. 24-INCH WATER MAIN BREAKS AND FLOODS ML TABOR BASEMENTS A il-liich water main broke 4 a- this morning at East Fifty-third a- 4 and Stark streets, flooding sev- a 4 eral lots and homes In that vl- a- a- ctnity.
