next 4700 feet at the rate of 1.10 per
1000 ; the nxt 60.000 feet at the rate of
85 cents per 1000, and all over 100,000
feet at the rate of 80 cents per 1000,
these being the net "rates, allowing, for
a discount of 5 cents for each step for
prompt payment. '
For house-heating the proposed rate
is 80 cents per 1000 feet for all gas used,
plus a service charge of 11.20 per month
for 10 months for the ordinary- sized

vide for general expenses in the amount
of 69 cents, and allow 200 feet of gas
at the rate of 11.30 per 1000, or 28 cents
worth of gas. The fairness of this kind
of rate, according : to officials of the

of court attaches and lawyers. It
appeared to be quite out of place in
that dignified and high tribunal,
A controversy has arisen between the
Forster Music Publishers and the Bun
galow Dancing Pavilion as to the mis
use of "That Naughty Waltz." Charles
Nieml and M. F. Hardesty of the danc
ing pavilion are charged with failing
to observe the copyright rules before
using -this' music. The two answered
the charge i by stating that Chris Ham
berg, musician, selected all the music
rendered at the pavilion under a con
tract. The publishers objected to the
sufficiency of this answer and asked
the court to strike it out. The Judge
denied the motion.

improvements will cease this week, ac-,
cording to Commissioner of Public'
Works Barbur, who has prepared a res

It has been the practice of the council
to accept bids for street and sewer im
provements so far as they did not exceed
the city engineer's estimate by 10 per
cent Contractors have taken advantage
of that practice, particularly on large
contracts where there were few bidders,
by submitting bids at from 9 per cent to
an infinitesimal fraction below the pro
hibitive 10 per cent above the engineer's
estimate. Commissioner Barbur charges,
and he proposes to put a stop to the
practice.
Commissioner Barbur . intimated that

NORTH PORTLAND
RESENTS PLAN OF
IT COMMITTEE
Praise of the Chamber of Com
merce as a body for interesting itself
In the' North Portland harbor - and
criticism of the chamber's port com
mittee for suggesting that tha cost
of improvement be borne by the
property directly affected, appear In
statements made public today, the
first from S.- O. Correll, secretary
of the" Cattle and Horse Raisers' As
sociation of Oregon, the second froth
Percy Allen, , chairman of North
Portland industries committee. -
"As our organisation is state wide,"
Correll declares, "and its members are
all deeply interested in developing a bet-J
which can only be done by creating a
way to ship meats by water, especially
with the present high rail rates, you can
understand that we appreciate your ac
tivity in a matter that will be of .such
decided benefit to the state at large."
POST CLAIM STATED
Allen's- more extended statement
brings out the fact that North Portland
harbor is Included by law in the Port
of Portland and its improvement is a
duty of the port. 'There appear to be
those." he says, "who now would have
the Port of Portland repudiate its re
sponsibility and promises by the adop
tion of a law forcing the Norfh Portland
manufacturing and livestock district out
of the Fort of Portland district, or ac
tion equal to that, and requiring that
limited area to provide its own channel
for deep sea shipping notwithstanding
that said manufacturers and livestock
interests add greatly to the wealth and
commerce of the Port of Portland dis
trict and have continued to pay the Port
of Portland taxes."
Were an adequate outlet for livestock
provided in Portland, Allen continued,
Northwest shippers could save $5,000,000
a year in freight rates under the charges
paid by- them in shipping their stock
under present conditions to the. Missis
sippi valley. '
PLAIT I5COSSI8TElfT .
' To apply the benefit and damage plan
as was done in the case of the Duwam
ish waterway at Seattle would be incon
sistent, he declares, because the Duwam
ish was a narrow, crooked, limited
waterway made straight by use of ad
joinlngsland and a North Portland har
bor assessment district would have to
include the entire port in order to com
prehend all the beneficiaries.
"It is out of the question to build a
livestock market and packing center
on this coast without a proper channel
to permit shipment of meat products by
water directly from, the place of killing
and cold storage facilities," Allen avers.
He thinks any other course than for the
port to bear the cost of the improve
ment would be discriminatory and un
fair. ' - 1
