The license department of the Portland city council is one of the most powerful political machines In Oregon. It does not have to do alone with the 'north end. " Hints of Threats Banks hinted that threats have been held over the north end by mem bers of the city commission, whereby the north end citizenry is forced to vote "right" Banks flayed what be. termed a "self-constituted"' law enforcement committee in Portland of which A. M. Churchill is chairman. "This super-committee,' he said, "wants the city council to have the right to take property without due process of law. The place to settle matters involving property r.ahts is in the courts." Incidentally Banks lushed the fitnle (Continued on page three) SPIMNfi FIELD, Ore., Jan. 21.

RAT Treliminnry surveys to determine the possible location of one or two new city reservoirs to meet tho fit ture needs of a lnrgc district of the city including the Victoria Heights and Kincaid park sections arc. being made by the water board. "No definite plans for the reser voirs linve been made but thcr data are being obtained in order to have figures to work on when the demand for additional service In those dis tricts is sufficient," said C. A. Mc- Clain, superintendent of public utili ties. Elevafloit Nocessary The districts where this proposed water service is planned also include Chula Vista nnd a largo section of Fairmount heights where there is a rapid Increase of residences and no water service owing to the higher elevation above the reservoirs of the city. An elevation of about 850 feet would be necessary for the proposed reservoir, according to figures obtain ed. The other city reservolra have an elevation of about 000 feet. "Whether there would bo one or two reservoirs baa not yet been de termined although two seems the best solution," Mr. JlcClain said. Two Best Plan ; "As Hendricks park has an area of SO ncrcs and there is no possibil ity of ever having need of much wnt er service there it would bo belter to have two reservoirs in order not to have to rim pipes acroHS the large park ground, to the districts on the other side," the superintendent ex plained. .
