SIDEWALKS AND SB'eS OF STANDARD TYPE HAVE REPLACED OLD OUTFITS City Maintenance Bureau Accom plishes Much Work in 1919; Saving Is $21,742. Replacing ,ot 864 crosswalks, substi tution of 9961 linear feet of concrete pipe for wood box gutters, and clearing of treet areas In front of 9U lots over the city were among the many things accomplished by the maintenance bu reau of the city during 1919, according to the annual report filed Saturday with Commissioner Barbur by K. O. McMul len. chief of the maintenance bureau. ' By replacing; old wooden crosswalks with Tock filled penetration wajks of permanent construction McMullen points out a raving of $21,742 to the city. He likewise says the chance of accident is removed, with subsequent damage suits. Removal of wood box flutters where surface drainage is necessary and sub stitution of eight-inch concrete pipe is nni n f erl t r hv f AA niton nil nlimnmlial Havtng tn that wood box gutters do not last over there years, while concrete pipe has a salvage value of 100 per c-nt. McMullen states that the removal of meeds and clearing of street areas In front f property has been one of the most vexatious problems that his bureau has had to combat during the past year, lie believes that the question of weeds and grass fin unused streets and side walk should have a different solution than the nuisance ordinance, as it is a yearly rtpetition of a public nuisance, fire hasard and danger. McMullen recommends a direct tax on property or an assessment by the county assessor on all vacant property which would create a fund payable by the county assessor on all vacant property which would create a fund payable to the police de partment for the yearly removal of weeds. Repudiation of old wooden trestles throughout the city is a step in better construction, according to McMullen. The Borthwick tsreet and Gordon avenue trestles have been closed for good. It la McMullen's opinion that economical maintenance, despite increased cost of labor and material, has characterized the bureau's activities during 1919. to rail lines and i otherwise well adapted to serve as a mill site. 1 -The company Is controlled by the IX C Sec lea interests and It Is presumed that eventually a new mill will be erected on the Burlington site to mtndle logs from the Ecclee timber holdings in Washington county. The timber tract Is tapped by the United Railways elec tric line, owned by the Hilt interests. According to T. C Eccles, manager , of the Oregon Lumber company, there have been no recent developments in the com pany's plans looking to the construction of the mill. Campaign Organized To Get Federal Aid For Roads, Forests Urging that they use their Influence with congressmen, that they get In touch with every lumberman and tim ber owner In their section, call together all civic organizations In their city, speak to the members of their county court and telephone the prominent citi zens in adjoining towns. George Quayle, secretary of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, has appealed to all the Oregon chambers of commerce and civic organizations to unite in securing fed eral appropriation for roads and secur ing the consent of the war department for forest airplane patrol. The letter also requests those organ isations that have not alreadv done so, to pass resolutions and forward to con gress at once. 8. & H. Green stamps tor cash. Hol man Fuel Co.. Main 353, 560-21. Adv. Telephone Company fo Enlarge Building j Three stories will be added next year to the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company building at the southwest cor ner of Park ana uak streets. Founda tions of the building were built to ac commodate a structure 14 stories in height and It Is the pjan of the com pany to enlarge its quarters as its business expands. According to W. D.

A por tion of the present building is three stories and the balance five stories In height. It covers an area 100 by 100 fet. The company now has about $2,000 telephones in operation and its officials believe the number will be doibled in the next 10 years.

"Darda nella" is plaved by Selvin's Novelty Orchestra on Victor record No. 18633, 10-inch, 85c, with "My Isle of Golden Dreams" (medley waltz) played by the same orchestra on the reverse. Get "Dardanella" Here After a brief Introduction by the full orchestra, the saxophone an nounces a curious winding melody against an Insistent "figured" ac companiment picked out by the banjo and gradually embellished as other Instruments join. The effect Is unusual and In its working out It calls for many combinations of instruments new to the dance or chestra. The dance rhythm is con tinuous, never varying for an In stant. Just before the close the saxophone delivers an odd little piping taugn.
