Commission Frowns
On Salaries Paid
By Water Districts
. The Sylvan water district was taken
over the bumps, genyy. by the tax su
perylelng and conservation committee at
Its hearing Friday afternoon.. The com',
mission frowned upon the -fact that
two of the three commissioners of the
district had asked . for , salaries of 30Q
each annually, something no other water
district in the county has done, and
something which the law did not allow.
The commission also Indicated that the
Sylvan district waa not charging enough
for its water to meet the current ex
penses of the district or the propor
tion that should be met by operative rev
enue. The Sylvan district asked for $7701
for the coming year. It la still in a
construction status, in part at least,
with Quite an outstanding indebtedness,
and faces the necessity of adding to Its
bonded, debt to pay the contractor who
did Its work.
The other water districts which sub
mitted their budget estimates yester
day for the consideration of the com
mission were the Btha district f970 ;
Powell Valley road district 13000 to
pay interest on Its bonded, debt of $50,
000; Gilbert district 11827 and Maple
wood district 12000..

PLAYGROUrm SITE
LEVY OF .4 MILL IS
PUT OFF BY GfTY
, Holding to It decision to keep public
Improvements down to the lowest notch
the city council has decided to postpone
the levying of the four-tenths of a mill
voted some time since for the purchase
of additional playground sites. ' In the
park bureau estimates, the council has
In addition pruned oat tMM3. - The
amount asked for was $111,000 In excess
of tbe aura allowed to the budget of
1ML
For the extension of , the municipal
automobile camp a tentative allowance
of $12,000 has been made.
- In the department of public works tbe
estimates for 1922 have been cut down
to the extent of tlJJJH.f . A large
amount of this was for personal service
and maintenance based on contemplated
improvements.
BRIDGE SITUATION
- A serious condition In the bridges of
tbe city In which there Is an Investment
of half a million dollars baa been de
veloped by (he budget committee In the
consideration of an appropriation for
the repair and maintenance of a number
of structures. According to Bridge En
gineer Reed a number of structures have
net been painted since built In many
places the steel frames are badly eaten
with scale. The Union avetroe bridge,
he said, looked as though It had had
smallpox, having pits one-quartere of aa
Inch deep. On the Front street bridge
the girders are buckling owing -to the
settlement of the abutments. ' -
The bridges under discussion included
Thurman street which needs -to be re
decked; East Twelfth street bridge,
Union avenue, Holgate street First and
Front street bridges and Ford street
viaduct Owing to lack of paint since
erection the bridges are deteriorating
rapidly. - ,
PAIHTIKG COST tlUSi y
To paint the bridges it Is estimated
I19.22C will be requtred. This la Included
in an estimate of 47,t7t for the complete
restoration of the Blmcturea. Before
taking action on the appropriation the
council decided to make a personal in
spection. Tbe thought was expressed
that a matter Involving life haxard could
not longer, be delayed. v
Owing to the fact that the municipal
paving; plant is operated on a rotary ac
count calling for additional appropria
tion the estimate of thi bureau calls
for $93,539.60 for personal service and
$424,971 for supplies.
In the matter ot maintaining streets by
the plant there is an estimate of $50,000.
The council has taken no action on the
request deferring decision until the bud
get Is completed. During the first six
months of this year $23,577.75 was ex
pended for street maintenance.
STREET MAINTENANCE
In this connection the figures show
that there are about nine million square
yards of paved streets in Portland and
of this amount eight . million square
yards are now under city maintenance
charge.
Another perplexing problem is the need
for $34,150 for the construction of a
concrete retaining wall at Mllwaukle and
Insley avenues. When this Construc
tion was made several - years ago a
wooden retaining wall waa placed on a
new fill. The fill has settled and the
street and pavement have sagged a foot
or mora There is a large fissure in the
street and the sidewalk hag been barri
caded. The original work waa paid for
by property owners who now think tnat
the repair is up to the city. Before
passing on the appropriation the coun
cil will make personal inspection.
A new departure looking to the curb
ing of increasing cost of automobile
operation has been undertaken by the
council In the building, electrical and
plumbing divisions. It is proposed to
allow inspectors an additional salary of
$3$ per month on condition that the in
spector furnish and operate bis automo
bile at his own expense.
tl4,m BLIMI3TATBD
This Plan is followed in Salt Lake,
Denver and other cities with success it
Is said.
If the experiment proves a suecess
it may be -extended to other depart
ments of city administration. - As a re
sult of this decision $14,000 was elimin
ated from the budget estimates for new
ears, tires, gasoline, oil and repairs. Ac
cording to the statement of Commis
sioner Pier private business la allowing
$7 to employes wno use weir own cars
with economical result
Another suggestion betore the coun
cil but not yet acted on is one to meet
the increasing cost of building inspec
tion by a alight increase 10 fees for per
mits. According to commissioner Bar
bur the city in the present situation has
not sufficient Inspectors to handle the
work expeditiously and there is consid
erable delay adding to the cost of
building.
INSPECTION IS LAGGING
It Is also complained that many build
ings go ahead without Inspection, result
ing in poor construction. Over last year
thawork in the building department has
increased 57 per cent while In tbe elec
trical division there has bees aav In
crease of XI per cent To meet this
situation the council has allowed an ad
ditional plumbing inspector at $170 per
month, an additional electrical Inspector
at $lt per month.- Approval has also
beenj given to the continued employment
or an additional plan cierg ana typist
In the building division.
The bureau of health has been allowed
three-new Fords to replace present cars.
The bureau would; have preferred an
other make of car, but waa satisfied
to get What they did. Out of the health
bureau's estimates for operation and
maintenance the council excised ap
proximately $3200.
The civil' service bureau's estimate
was, reduced $55. Of this. $210 was
for extra vacation help.
To obtain more detailed Information
regarding the needs -of the water
bureau, this Item was passed by the
council until Monday.-.. . "
Discussing the water bureau in a
general way the .council expressed the
opinion that the time would soon be
at hand when It would be necessary to
raise water rates to meet the: new con
struction, and operation " attaching to
the growth of ' the city. --, ii
When the oouncU ceased from Its
labors at noon today the score of total

REMAINING GAMES EXPECTED
TO BR SLUGGING CONTESTS
By Bid Mercer
International K Barrios Staff Comspandent
New York. Oct tHt N. S.)
Now that . the Giants have emerged
from their scoreless trance, tbe remain
ing games are likely to be less featured
by good pitching than by sharp hitting.
Old-timers who have studjed the psy
chology of world championship games
predict that none of the leading pitchers
will come back with stronger games
than those with, which they Introduced
themselves. They are willing to gamble
there will be no more shutouts. The
Yanks will hardly be blanked if Mc
Graw's pitchers continue to pass Ruth, .
From now on. therefore, the series
may live up to the advance notices
The local feud, which seems to be the
whole world's business, must be pro
longed well into, next week. It cannot
end before Tuesday afternoon, even if
the Giants do not win another game. It
is inconceivable that this will happen
after the Yankee rout of yesterday; The
experts look for the quarrel to last
seven or eight days. Rain may stretch
it ' even further. A storm is reported
headed this way from the west , j
DCGGINS IS CRITICIZES.
The Yanks having been trimmed by
a record breaking score -or pita, and
runs, the anti-Huggins propaganda is
again heard throughout the land. Rabid
Yank fans, taking the second guess,
criticize Huggins for leaving Shawkey
tn so long and for sending the erratic
Collins to relieve Quinn on Friday.
To be sure, the Giants had scored four
runs before Quinn was yanked, but if
the slaughter could have been stopped
there the cause of the American
leaguers would have been by no means
helpless. ' The dynamite of the Yank
bats has exploded mors than one pitcher
in the late innings.
There may be arguments over the
way Huggins handled his pitchers, but
MoGraw certainly made the right guess
when he drafted Jess Barnes. The slen
der right hander had the goods, Mo
Graw, of course, really had no other
choice. Barnes showed enough stuff
yesterday to earn the tight to start a
game. His fast ban carried enough
puzzling hops to Intoxicate the Yankee
batsmen and his sharp breaking curves
curled and snapped over the plats with
beautiful precision.
MAKES GOOD AT tAST
Barnes has not had a very successful
season. He naraiy earnea tae ngnt to
start in the big series. But that's all
over now. MeGraw will see that the
Yanks get Barnes egairf.
Quinn again demonstrated that he
cannot guarantee effectiveness over the
long route. Many old players who are
"exporting" on this series, regarded the
veteran moist ball pitcher as a dark
horse. They thought he carried the
stuff to break the backs of the Giants.
Maybe he does, but after he had stepped
along with Barnes for three innings he
suddenly collapsed and was- given A se
vere flogging.
. The Giants are good hitters, of course.
But they were bitting Cripples in that
seventh. Qolnn had little and Collins
had less. The latter has probably
pitched his last ball for Huggins in this
series.
All things considered, the Giants now
carry the edge in pitching. Douglas
and Nebf my not putpltch Mays aad
Hoyt but in Barnes ' the National
leaguers have found a third good roan.
Shawkey and Quinn have flopped for the
Yanks and Harper is an unknown fac
tor. If the Giants can even up the series
they will start the new deal with ex
cellent prospects.

FOR ISIUfG OLD
Murder charge were filed against six
Chinamen late Friday night by Deputy
District Attorney Jay Stockman as the
result of the killing of Wong Gee, an
old Chinaman supposed to be a member
of the Hop Sing tong. at Fourth and
Davis streets Friday afternoon,
Lee Sing, who waa captured by Patrol
man Harry Stanton just after the shoot
ing, and Huey Thet who is said to have
been. Identified as his companion in the
killing, are charged with being the
principals In the murder. Harry Wong,
Harry Chin, Lim Gay and Harry Toy,
all said to be members of the Suey Sing
tong; are alleged to be accomplices and
under the Oregon, law are charged with
murder along wfth the principals.
HEW WAR EXPECTED
Tbe five Suey Sings were arrested
at 441? Forty-third street by a detail
of police inspectors under Lieutenant
Pat Moloney Friday night
According ot the police, fresh tong
trouble may be expected at almost any
time, since this last killing increases
the score against the Sney Sings. Several
months ago one Hop Sing waa killed and
another badly injured. This brings the
total ecore against the Suey Sings, to
three unavenged attacks.
Wong Gee was shot down while walk
ing along 'the sidewalk in the crowded
section of the Chinese quarter. Many
pedestrians were en- the 'street a short
distance away. The assassins walked
pp to the old Chinaman and engaged
him In conversation for-a few seconds.
BEIT Ell. AWAY
Suddenly they both whipped out guns
and began to fire. One highbinder ran
around the corner and turned north en
Fourth street He was seen to- throw
his gun ever a high board fence, where
it was later louna- lae otner, jee sing,
threw his gun to the' ground and ran in
the opposite direction. Harry Stanton,
patrolman on leave of absence, waa
coming from a shop across the street.
He heard the shots and saw the gunman
throw big revolver, to the street Stan
ton gave chase aad caught the man
after a short run.
The other gunman ran Into the Royal
Palm hotel, where he discarded a new
pair of overalls which ho was wearing.
According to the police he was picked
up in an automobile driven by Harry
Wong and carried at once to the house
in Woodstock, which the police say was
rented as a hiding place for gunmen.
SHOT SIX! TIMES
Six bullet holes were found in the
body of the dead Chinaman. Five bul
lets were recovered from the body. Four
were .38 caliber revolver bullets and the
other a .32 caliber automatic bullet The
other hole resembles the hole made by
the automatic bullet the coroner said.
The gun picked up by Stanton, which
he says Lee Sing discarded, was a .St
caliber revolver. The gun found on the
other side of the board fence was a
S2 caliber automatic- Six automatic
shells were found near the body.
The lnouest will be held at the court
house this evening.

waa passed by the defense and a mo

quently and that he possessed a fixed
opinion that could not be disregarded. He

prejudiced against the accused and that
this prejudice would influence him in
reaching a verdict if selected as a tales
man. He was challenged by the de
fense for actual bias and tbe state did
not resist i
F. EL Bullock, Ksuogg rancher, was
ohoaen to replace Smith, who was ex
cused. So admitted he had followed the
ease to the newapapera, especially- those

He, too. had a fixed opinion and did
not think that he oould try the case fair
ly and impartially. He was challenawd

he was of a sympathetic nature ha did
not thinki that sympathy for the de
fendant's family would intluem "him

OBJECTIOX OTERKCLED
The objection as to the fitness ef the
juror offered by the defense waa ever
ruled aad tbe state psswwd him. Here
the state exercised its second peremptory
challenge and J., L Roach was excused,
R W. Jones, Myrtle Creek fruit grower,
was drawn to replace the dismissed
Juror. Juror Larkins, during a 10-min-
ute recess announced by the court noti
fied Judge Bingham that be was too 111
for further duty. Thomas Lawson, Glen-
aaie mill operator, was chosen to take
his place when court again resumed.
The defense proceeded with, the examin
ation of Jones. He was challenged for
actual bias, and the state again resisted
the challenge, and on being declared
qualified by the court the Juror was
accepted toy the state. Lawson waa
challenged by the defense. The state
objected but later withdrew its objec
tion.
Henry Paulsen. Oakland farmer, waa
immediately sworn but after beinx chal
lenged by the defense, which the state
did not resist be was excused, and Lee
Barker of Drain was chosen to take
his place, and he, too, was challenged.
Here again the state made no resistance.
Martin BuahnoO. who gave, hit address
as Ten Mile, , was next examined. He
was excused on account of peor health.
W. s. Conine. South Deer Creek-rancher,
drawn to substitute, also was excused
for cause, w. R. Stock. Canyonviiie
farpjer, the next talesman drawn, on
acoount ot a fixed opinion, was also ex
cused and court adjourned for the day.
The defense had used four of Its 13
peremptory challenges and the state two,
leaving the state four and the defense
eight which fact may yet mean that
considerable time will be consumed se
curing a permanent jury. It is thought
however, that at least two tentative Ju
rors now on the panel will bo accepted
by both the state and defense..
