city made by the Portland Housing as

has been made to A. L. Barbur. com

The association made an eshausttve

for study In these areas and a house-to-house
canvass was made. Photographs
showing the exterior and the Interior of
dwelling places were obtained by the
department of public works and the
lo state board of health.
The report calls attention to acute
lot overcrowding In South Portland, as
the result of a general 'house moving"
a "number of years ago. Houses that
have been discarded In other nelghbor-
Vinnrin were moved to South Portland and
placed pn lots regardless of light and air.
In may cases three were placed on one
lot.
"Old hotels," the report continues,
"were changed Into lodging and tene
ment houses without the necessary ai-
terations bsing made.
"Old residences have been converted
Into multiple dwellings, housing from
three to 15 families, without the lnstall-
at! on of additional plumbing.

Incipient Tenement Evils
"In a word all the evlla of tenement
" and housing problems are in the making
. In Portland. Some are aggravated,
others are still embryonic, but tbey are
here, the nuclei for greater evlla, the
breeding spots for a Blum population with
all it means In human waste and civic
responsibility.
Among the chief of the housing re
gulations are :
To give everyone a reasonable share
of the essentials. of physical life light,
air, water, protection from the elements
and from unsanitary surroundings.
To secure for the citlsens privacy and
safety in their homes for the protection
of the community socially and morally.
Ta tlmlnatd ivlndott'litu rooms and
b. dark halls and secure instead good ven
i To secure adequate plumbing, to pro-
l tect the city from conflagrations and
'1 prevent the creation of new slums.

Of 383 families in one district 30 per
cent have no bath tubs or water supply.
except a cold water tap in the kitchen
felnk. In a converted house, three sinks.
one on each floor, seVved 18 families.
, The disposal of waste water Is another
nroblem. Dish water Is often poured
down the toilets, in the hall Blnk, in the
tub in the hall, or thrown out of doors
to attract flies in the summer.
Basement and cellar living apartments
were also investigated and numerous in
stances of lack of sanitation found.
Fifty -two hotels and lodging houses
were Investigated. Many of them were,
built at a period whiclt allowed ventila
tion of many rooms on interior courts.
It is stated that dark halls and the lack
of any public room for the use of the
lodgers are contributing causes to the
general tendency to move frequently
One lodging house visited at three-week
Intervals showed a complete ' change of
occupants.
On the question of fire protection and
fire prevention the report concludes ? ,
In the older multiple buildings there
are no stair halls or stairways of 1
fire proof construction. Omitting the

In maktrik the investigation the com-

Reed college, and members of the Social
study class of the public welfare bureau.
The data gathered will be used by the
city council In preparing'a new housing
code.

... Significant to Coast
in wnatever measure tnese pians are
carried to execution, they have -the
greatest possible significance for the
Pacific Coast cities. Resources of an
enormous character are known to exist
in these two countries. Their develop-
ment means more commerce, the greater
movement of population and vast con
struction work. If America is "permit
ted to participate in the work, ports of
the Pacific will find themselves called
upon to accommodate traffic of a great
er 'density than, has ever been known
in, the Pacific ocean before.
China has resources of a variety and
masmitude that 'nerhaos exceed those of
the United : States. Coal. iron, copper
aDd many other elements of wealth are
found there in nearly all of the prln-
I ciPal provinces. " Behind these resources
1 ta also found ' a manoower. a labor re
serve, that is unequaled anywhere . in
labor is effective, willing and ' cheap,
is awaiting the touch of organisation
and a directing impulse of a large order.
That such a combination of manpower
and natural resources shall long remain
Inactive is Inconceivable.
"In Siberia, again, is found a variety
of verjf important natural resources in
large quantities. These also are fairly
well known to the world and are being
sought by the constructive forces of
civilisation. Great developments must
also come, and particularly after the
allied countries stabilise political condl
tlons and give a helping hand to the
people in whose hands the destiny of
Siberia will repose In the future.
"Portland must. If she expects to share
: properly in these 4 great - events, make
! most .vigorous preparation now. ,, It .will
; be futile if we allow competitive cen
ters of the Pacific Coast to make all
due preparation, and then, when they
are getting their full reward for fore-
sight and courage,, sit down and' com
plain that we are neglected. The strug
gle is one between great men and great

selves equal to the task will reap the

SCHOOL: FOR POLICE

OHNSON
Police officers may soon go to school.
if the plan announced by Chief ot Po
lice Johnson materialise. At present
the new officers are given about a 1
day course before going oa the - fore. .
but tn the new school the chief plans)
to have all the officers attend, both new
and Id.
The rhlf find It almost Impossible -to
lay matters before the fore now ex
cept through the relief captain, and In
the new school mehod he hopes to bo

nt situation which he. as chief. Is re-
..i v.. ,
quired to handle. It is planned to In
struct the men in the new city ordi
nances which are passed by the coun
cil, and to suggest to them different
ways of handling difficult and peculiar
situations that arise In police work.
Traffic Preelen Serten
The traffic problem Is now one ef the)
greatest problems confronting the ' po
lice department, and. according to po
lice records, its monthly toll of lives)
Is greater than the number of people
ever killed in the city In a month.
During the last 13 months from two to
seven persons have lost their lives each
month in automobile accidents. Be
sides this, between 75 and 100 persons
are injured, many . of them receiving .
broken bdnes and serious Internal in
juries. According to hospital reports,
many are deformed for life.
The ponce find It a difficult problem '
to detect the careless and reckless driver
from the careful driver, who occasion
ally has the misfortune to have an ao-'
cldent.
Weald Have Visitors Talk ; '
"It is the duty of the police depart
ment." says the chief 'to protect the
lives of the public In every way pos
sible. In very few case caa wo say
that a man committed murder when
he runs down another person and kflls
him. Tet the fact remains that the
person was killed by an automobile,
snd he Is dead Just the same as if be
had been killed with a gun."
In addition to the discussion of local
problems the chief will from time to
time arrange to hold the meetings when
prominent men are in the city, and
especially men who ars versed in police
work. Very often the local police cap
ture a man wanted in an Eastern city
and the chief of detectives often cornea
West to claim the prisoner la order to
gain the scenic advantages of Jhe West
ern country. The chief would then call
the men together for an boor And re
quest the visitor to explain tha problems
confronted in the East and tell bow
they sre solved. By this method lbs
local force hopes to gain valuable know
ledge that wui assist them la blottlng
out much crime. , .
