WILSON'S RECORD PRAISED President I Las Lived Up to Spirit of Civil Service Law. High praise to the civil service rec ord of the Wilson administration was given by P. S. Myers last night In a speech delivered at the 8 hat tuck school. "No administration In the history of the country has ever observed so care fully the letter and spirit of the civil service laws." he declared. He said It was a shameful travesty on civil service for Mr. Taft, Just be fore retiring from the presidency, to place under civil service 47,000 fourth- class postmasters who were appointed because they were Republicans. He praised President Wilson for requiring these fourth-class postmasters to sub mit to a clvll-servlce examination to prove their fitness to hold office, and he challenged the Hughes adherents to show one case in the entire state of Oregon in which the applicant passing the highest examination, as certified by the clvll-servlce commission, did not receive the appointment. The meeting was held under the aus pices of the Harms Booster club.-Many friends of A. H. Harms, the Democratic candidate for constable, were present and gave him rousing reception.

I la. maker spoke for Judge W. N. Gatens, reviewing the lat- ters record wniie judge of the Juven nlle court. Elton Watklns spoke In support of President Wilson. Mr. Wat- kins said it would be a catastrophe to elect Mr. Hughes because Mr. H-ughes had said he proposed to wipe out all the legislation President Wilson had passed, including the federal reserve act, the child labor bill and all -others.

Figures showing that the cost of op erating the street-cleaning bureau and water bureau, two of the largest bu reaus In the city, is decreasing under commission form of government, are presented todsy by Will H. Daly. con mlssloner of public utilities.. He has charge of the two bureaus. "In vjew of the comment of late on commission government in Portland," he said, "P believe figures showing the cost of conducting the street-cleaning and water bureaus of the department of utilities will be interesting and per tinent. Following are the appropriations made for the operation of the water bureau for the first three years of commission government and the appro priations asked for 1917, the fourth year of the new regime: 1914 ... $1,729,798.00 1915 1,280,554.99 1916 1.191.749.70 1917 (requested) 884,721.00 "It will be seen from a comparison of these figures that in spite of the growing needs of the city the appro priations for the water bureau have shown a decrease each year. The ap propriation for the forthcoming year will be $845,076 less than that made In 1914, or a decrease of more than 48 per cent. "Following are the appropriations made for each year since commission government began, together with the requested appropriations for 1917, In the bureau of street cleaning: 1914 $359,714.31 1915 296.31.96 1916 258,224.77 1917 (requested) 246,229.92 "The appropriation requested for the ensuing: year is $113,484.39 less than that allowed in 1914, or a decrease of more than 31 per cent in the tax levy. This showing is made in spite of the fact that the hard surfaced area of the city has Increased more than 10 per cent. The mileage cleaned by the bureau in 1914 was 35B. At the end of the coming year this will have been Increased to about 400." SEWER QUESTION PENDING Tanner Creek Project to Be Con sidered by City Attorney, City Attorney La Roc he Is to deter mine what amount of the cost of re constructing the Tanner creek sewer to care for the sewage within the city and the drainage outside of the city should be paid for by the city and not assessed, to the area within the city. Commissioner Dleck had. a letter be fore the council today, saying that the cost to be added .to the sewer to provide for the ttewage from outside the city will be $8440, -instead of $65. 000, as last week understood by tho majority of the council. Commissioner Baker charged that Commissioner. Dieck was using subtr luges to get around the order of the council last week that the plans of the sewer be changed to care for only the natural drainage outside of the city and a reasonable development within the city. Commissioner Dieck denied that such was the ease, saying that he was Interested only In the welfare of the city and that It was no personal con cern if the city sought fit not to build the sewer. Letters and reports by Commis sioner Dieck were referred to City Attorney La Roche to determine from them just what the added cost of car ing for the district outside of the city would be. Patrolmen Not to Rotate. Patrolmen on the first and second night reliefs are not to rotate with the day men, according to a decision by Mayor Albee, who has turned down the petition of the patrolmen working nights. The night patrolmen contend ed that they should be given a chance to work days occasionally. The first and second night reliefs will rotate, as at present; but men of the day relief Will continue to work days. The mayor contends that those on the night re liefs are younger men and better able to work nights' than those on the day relief. Sanitarium Dispute Ended. By sustaining Commissioner Baker's objections to the ordinance granting a permit to Dr. E. A. Pierce to estab lish a tuberculosis sanitarium, the city council this morning brought an end to the controversy over the pro posed sanitarium. Dr. Pierce has re turned the permit granted, and the council, by sustaining Commissioner Baker's objections, rescinded its ac tions of last week. Tag Day Permits Granted.
