HAVE
TO DECIDE FIGHT
ON OLD SHACKS
Barbur Is to Get Decision by
I Pressing Recommendations of
' City's Water Front Committee.
. ..iforcement of the city water-
. .lit committee's . recommendation
for condemning and removing the
remaining structure which ?have
been declared subject to removal
by that committee, but have not
been officially condemned by the
dock commission, promises somein
terestlng litigation In the courts,, In
the. opinion of Assistant City Attor
ney L. E. Latourette, a member of
that committee.
Latourette'u interpretation of the city
charter is that the dock commission only
has the authority actually to condemn
and remove these structures which come
within the zone placed onder its control.
While the general application of the
sharter empowers the department 01
public works, in concurrence with the
.City engineer and a four-fifths vote of
the city council, to remove condemned
buildinss, Latourette does not believe the
removal of buildings within this .zone
ire subject to general law.
"The city charter gives this trio of au
thorities power over all public improve
ments," said Latourette, "but whether
or not the courts would hold that the
term 'improvement' could be applied in
thB case on the ground that the re
moval of a declared fire hazard Is neces
larily an Improvement Is a question."
Commissioner of Public Works Bar
bur said he was not sure as to how the
law would be interpreted, though he. in
tended to find out by pressing the recdm
tnendatlons of the waterfront commit
tee to the point of action.
- The following structures along the
water front have been recommended for
removal: '
( ' Panama Cooperage docks, between Sal
mon and Main streets; Pacific docks,
outh side-front Salmon street, owned by
Union Trust company of California, John
Webb, agent; Taylor street dock, be
tween Taylor and Salmon, W. It Fries,
15 Fourth street owner ; Corcoran dock,
north side foot of Taylor street, owned
by Meade estate ; Portland Seed com
pany, south side foot of Yamhill street,
Meade estate, owner; ' Oregon .Sheet
Metal works, between Morrison and Al
der streets, Percy O. Blyth, owner ; Ever
dlng &-Farrell, south side foot of Alder
atreet, Percy G. Blyth, owner ; Alder
atreet dock, between Alder and Wash
ington, Harkness Transportation com
pany, owner.
Many of these owners are expected
to contest the tearing down of their
structures in the courts. .
