As a result pf the meeting ofj Port larid streetcar men held Sunday imorn ing, the taking of a referendum will begin Tuesday morning. j Four questions are to be submitted to- the platform men: i 1.

Shall we withdraw and federate with the Central Labor council? 4. Shall we reorganize the present brotherhood, throwing out .the railway company officials who are officers? Quite a gathering of railwav men attended Sunday's meeting, it being held at 1:30 a. m. The discussion lasted several hours, the opinions , seeming to. be widely at variance. The only decision that could be reached, under the circumstances, was that of calling for the referendum Votes will be taken at each barn, all the men voting. T.

The Journal is publishing, for the benefit f voters, ballot titles and brief explanations of measures to be voted on at the regular city election to be held June 4. These ballot titles are being printed in the order they are to appear on the of- ficial ballot, and, arguments both for an against are being presented. The measures are charter amendments and ordi- nances proposed by the inleia- tlve, and amendments and ordl- nances presented by the- city -ft council. No. 15. Charter amendment prescribing pro cedure for elimination of grade railroad crossings. modifying the present method for payment of the cost there of, by amending certain sections in the charter of the city of Portland and In serting a new section. Shall the charter be so amended? 128 Tea. 129 No. This is the title of a charter amend ment submitted by the city council with a view of relieving property own ers from assessments in protects for the elimination of railroad grade cross ings. The measure, if adopted, will amend the charter provisions adopted by the- people In J913. Property Owners Benefit. The charter at present provides that when grade ; crossings are eliminated. 60 per cent of the cost shall be paid by the railroad companies affected, 20 per cent by the property owners in the district benefited and 2-0 per cent by the city. The proposed amendment chances this by fixing the railroad companies' share at 80 per cent and the city's share at 20 per cent This leaves noth ing to bo assessed to property owners in the district affected. The proposed measure further provides that where the city's share Is more than $25,000, the voters shall first authorize the ex penditures. This means that all .major projects will have to be approved by the people before the city council can act. Compromise Zs Beached. The proposed amendment comes as result of complaint from some of the property owners in the Rose City Park (Ustrict assessed for the cost of elim inating grade crossings along the O W. R. & N. tracks from East Thirty seventh and Sandy boulevard to the city limits. It was first suggested that the en tire coot of- eliminating grade cross ing projects should be borne by the railroad. Commissioner Daly attempted to have the council adopt such a plan, but others forced a compromise which resulted in the foregoing measure be ing decided upon by the city council. Charter Amendment Copies Given Away Copies of the charter amendments and ballot measures to be voted on in the city election next Monday may be secured at The Journal office. Several thousand copies of the meas ures were distributed today that the voters may familiarize themselves with the measures before going to the polls. Copies were placed in all the newspa per offices, the-central and branch li braries, the comfort stations and in several of the large stores and clubs., A committee of the City and County Medical society today recommended the complete cleaning and draining of Marquam gulch and the immediate re moval of insanitary conditions gener ally In the interest of the public health. The report follows: To the Public: The following report and recommendations are submitted by a committee appointed by the presi dent and council of the Portland City arm County Medical society, after care ful personal investigation of condi tions in Marquam gulch, above Second street.

Mosquitoes breed In puddles and hoof tracks along this stream, t arcasses of small animals are thrown from the railroad bridge to rot in the water. 3. Children of all ages come down Into the gulch and play In this stream and on these dumps. Decent play places are now too distant from their homes, which are crowded together with little or no yard space. The sur- . rounding district is more thickly set tled than any other section of the city, with citizens having large families. j Recommendations: 1. Drainage of surface water. 2. Condemnation and removal of all adjoining shacks and stables. 3. Prohibition of further refuse and garbage dumping. and covering of present dumps with soil or other solid material. 4. Filling In of upper end of gulch to proper level and provision of ball fild and play grounds there. 5. Terracing of slopes to afford space ror scnool and community gar den plots. These measures should be instituted In some adequate manner at once. (Signed) RALPH A. FENTON. M. T. DAVID N. ROBERG. M. D. S. H. SHELDON, M. D. Believing that it It is to the best Interests of the city that the present procedure for redeeming improvement bonds Issued under the charter sec tions providing for the bonding of street and sewer assessments should be simplified and provision made for the redemption of improvement bonds- when they fall due, C. A. Bigelow. commissioner of finance, and City Auditor Barbur are urging that th voters adopt the last measure on the ballot ! for the city election. This measure provides for the redemption of Improvement bonds by transferring funds from the sinking fund to tho fund for the redemption of Improve ment bonds. The ballot numbers are 134 yes. 135 no. An explanation of the measure and arguments for its adoption are pre sented i in a statement prepared by Commissioner Bigelow and Auditor Barbur; The statement in part fol lows: Present System Means Delay. "Outstanding are more than $9,000, 000 in Improvement bonds which were Issued prior to August 1, 1915. The law authorizing the issuance of thes bonds provides for their' redemption at any semi-annual Interest paying period at or after the period of one year from the date of such bond. The bonds shall be redeemed consecutively by number, commencing with the low est outstanding number. "Under .this provision, if the Im provement bond sinking fund is with out sufficient funds to redeem an en tire 'issue of the same date at a re demption period on account of non payment of installments, the balance of the issue, or any subsequent issui can not he redeemed for a period of six months. Each time : a shortage occurs jthe redemption period is ex tended i six months. After tne re demption period is extended it is im possible to shorten It. no matter what amounts may be collected from the property owners paying interest and installments on bonded street o sewer assessments. City Zs loosing Interest. "The proposed law will correct these defects and at the same time provide a better method for the redemDtion o bonds which may be issued to enable the city to make up any shortage which may exist on account of the ncn-payment of installments. Whenever a shortage of funds oc uiratr me nresent law. f a r. demption 'period the collections from the property owners accumulate In the improvement bond sinking fund for six months, and during this period the ac- umutated funds earn only Jper cent interest while the city is paying 6 per cent On outstanding bonds of an equal amount. This is a loss of 4 per cent, and from 1807 to April 1. HI", amounted to $166,325. A further loss is caused by the redemption period of all. other outstanding Improvement bonds being extended six months each time a shortage occurs. If the present method is continued the life of old bonds will' be extended two years be yond the present redemption period before all the outstanding: improve ment bonds are redeemed. City Hay Xnd Xdls Ponds. "The proposed amendment will pre ent this loss and provide a means of supplying the deficiency in the im provement bond sinking fund caused by the non-payment of installments. and will eliminate the necessity of foreclosing on delinquent - property. which places an additional burden on the property owners. . 'The law will also provide for pro tection of the Interests of the city and the property owners during financial depressions. It will enable the city to lean Idle funds in any sinking fund to the improvement bond sinking fund as an investment at 6 per cent interest. Loan can be returned when necessary before sufficient funds are on hand by issuing bonds under the new law. No possibility of loss could occur in loaning idle funds to the improve ment bond sinking fund because sucn loans can be used only for Investment in securities of the improvement bond sinking fund. Burden Vow on Taxpayers. "At present any loss which the city sustains means a loss to the tax payers, as tney must ultimately our the burden. The proposed act win De of direct benefit to taxpayers, as It will insure them and the city against such losses. "A comparison of the provisions covering bond redemptions of the present law and the proposed amend ment follows: Present law: 'At any semi-annual Interest-paying period at or after the period of one year from the date of such bond the bonds shall be redeemed consecutively by number, commencing with the lowest outstanding number.' Proposed: 'Upon the first day of any month at or after the period of three years from date ; or sucn bond' ' 'The proposed provision is much better, as It obviates the necessity or keeDlne idle funds on hand.' ' 'The bonds which may be issuea under the provisions of the proposed law will not increase the bonded in debtedness. The proposed law merely converts a portion of the bonds issued under the old law for redemption under the new law and makes them redeemable upon the basis of other hnnrin issued under section 278 of the charter. This change, however, will not affect the normal redemption pe riod for the remainder of the out standing bonds.'

Daly, commissioner of pub lic utilities, delivered a Memorial day address in the Rodney Avenue Chris tian church Sunday morning. Mr. Daly paid high tribute to those who had given their services to their country. Mr. Daly has been a member of the church for several years, but Sunday was the first time he ever attempted a Memorial day address. Rev. J. C. Ghormley is pastor. Those who remember the earnest and long-continued efforts to sweep organized and commercialized vice out of the municipal life of Portland, which culminated in the exhaustive Investigations of the Portland vice commission, also remember the dogged battle put up by Oeorge L. Baker, then city councilman, against the approval of the commission's reports and sug gestions and the enactment of the so called "tinplate" and "bonding" ordinances. At that time the town was spotted with festering dives where vice and crime flourished, and which consti tuted public nuisances. The names of the owners and lesees of these proper ties were hidden or hard to find. Baker Xads Opposition. At the end of its investigations the vice commission, which had been ap pointed and financed by the city, rec ommended to the council that the tinplate" and the "bonding" ordir nances be enacted. The first required that the name of the recorded owner of all lodging and rooming houses be placed In a conspicuous place on such buildings. In order that the public might know the property owners who permitted their holdings to be used for unlawful purposes. The second provided, in substance, that In those cases where a place was known to have been used for such purposes, the owner or lessee should be compelled to give bond to the city that It would not again be so used. The council met In special session on October 21. 1912. to hear the report of th vice commission as to these two measures. The meeting assumed th icoDe of an open and public hear Ine. and the newspapers of the city carried extended reports of the hear ing.
