owners along Kast Kighty-i;ighth and
other streets tributary to East 'Yamhill
ulreet between Kighty-second and Nine
tieth streets, are attached to a communi
cation to the city council, filed this morn
ing, urging the immediate improvement
of East Yamhill with hard surface pave
ment. -
'The undersigned realize fully," says

setting streets until at least one traffic
artery running east and west is payed,
so that an outlet may be furnished to
this district." . ,

a protest sent to the city council today,
objecting to the granting or any per
mit for the erection of an additional
gas tank by the Portland Oas & Coke
company at East Tenth and Clinton
treets. ?.
"Not only do we deem a structure
of this sort dangerous, due to the like

"but we also know that It is disfigur

values and affects each and every one
of the signers of this protest." . - '-,
Members of the city council visited
the site the later part of last week, and
it appears to be their ' Bentlment -. that
the erection of a second gas container
would not.be of especial detriment to
the district, because the first Is already
established there. They decided, how

owners had full opportunity to file pro

Southern Pine Men
Make Strong Protest
: Eegarding Fir Kates
A strong protest against-the reduction
of the rates on east bound lumber from
the fir producing northwestern states to
Mississippi river points, has been made
to the railroads by Southern pine pro
ducing centers, according to, a telegram
received by If. E. Lounsbury, general
freight agent of the p. W. R. & N.
company. J
- The- Southern pine lumbermen protest
against the n w rates granted the fir
lumbermen, which go Jnto effect March
31 and which are a reduction '.- of 7
cents a 100 pounds, on the grounds that
this disturbs the relationship that has
been existing between the two shipping
points and .throws the balance of trade
on the side, of the" fir men. They ask
that a similar;1 reduction be- allowed
them In order that they- may continue to
compete equally in that field.
"This particular instance snows how
carefully' the railroads must, approach
the proposition of reducing railroad
freight rates,' stated. Lounsbury. "In
all reductions.-the biggest problem is to
equably maintain the proper balance in
competitive rates, so that no undue
hardships is placed on any one section
of the country." 1

Washington, March 28. (I. N. S.)
The United States supreme court re
cessed this afternoon until April 11.
Arthur W, Jones of the American
Legion 'unemployment b'urea.u, ap
peared before the county commis
sioners l this morning to object to
having the courthouse janitor work
done by contract 'Instead of under
the personal direction of the com
missipn, as is now the practice.
Jones pointed out that 14 of the court
house Janitors are married and this was
a bad time to throw them outN)f work.
Some might become county charges, he
said.: He claimed that during the last
three months the unemployment bureau
had spent $7000 getting jobs for family
men and 90 per cent of those for whom
work was procured did not belong to the
legion. : The married janitors in the
courthouse have held their present jobs
from 1 to 20 years, he said.
"In view of the unemployment, men
with families should -be protected." 'he
declared-. "The saving that might be
made by the county would be more than
offset by the economic loss to the com
munity." '
Chairman Holman replied that he was
convinced that the cost "per square oot
in the courthouse for Janitor service is
considerably more than in privately
owned buildings." . The commission is
under considerable criticism . and -must
keep down coats, he added. Some of the
present janitors got - their positions
through "pull," he indicated, ' '
Commissioner Rudeen, who has inter
ested himself in the Janitor problem, said
he would be glad to hear from anv of
the present employes who thought they
could do as welt as private contractors.
