Losers 'Are Re-Established'
in Business.
Chinese Laundrymea Dig Up
tfTheir'BarielWealth.
..
The principal losers by Tuesday night's
fire are doing business today. The North
west Baking, Company had just complet
ed a new plant, at Twelfth and Qlisan
streets when, they-were burned out, so
there Was n4,,interruptlon In their busi
ness, as the .working crews were simply
transferred; from one place to. another.
The Wskenan i & Morse Company.
Which is th heaviest losers by the fire,
are doing business just as before. When
their o corhpejytUiir , in the transfer busi
ness heard of their crippled"' condition,
they kindly came forward with proffers
of the use, ofhetr available trucks and
teams. . Other Trise this company, whlcW
does a -4arge. business, would have been
neavy losers - through not being able to
handle their regular business.
Lontltt & Mlarkey, the ctocksmlths,
are doing business in a new shop on
Sixth street, near Irving,. which they fitted
.up. yesterday.
One of 'the a,muslngs sights yesterday
afternoon., after the embers of the lire
permitted - It, ' was to watch the China
men who conducted the laundry, where
f he nre was - supposed to have started,
digging am.ong.gthe debris. They had
burled a, considerable amount of money,
under the building. . This they recovered
with the .exception of a. few dollars In
sliver, which boys' found while looking for
anything-of value they might find In the
ruins. - ' ., :.
It Is utterly impossible to estimate the
esaot loss to. the different owners qf the
buildings consumed. A. King Wilson,
agent for ; the .R. : H. Este estate, which
owned the. west, half of the block, Is ab
sent from the iUy, and the' City & Su
burban people. Who owned the old car
barn which was. occupied by the Wake
man & Morse. Company, are unable to
give even a rough estimate of their loss,
as both Mr. Campbell and Mr. Swlgert.
of the company, are out of the city. It
is safe to say, however, that the total
loss will not exceed5 135.000 with an in
surance of not sver 2d,oso.

FIREBOAT

Chamber of Commerce Committee ;
Advises Popular Subscription.
Suggests That the Legislature Reimburse :
All Subscribers. , t;
At a meeting of the trustees of the
Chamber of Commerce this morning a
report of the committee on flrebat was
read. This committee, which Is com
posed of J. C. Flanders, O. K. Bentley
and S. Farrell, was appointed February
25. , ; ; 'I, . '.
The report states" that they had de
ferred making a 'report relative to a
fire boat for the City of Portland, inas
much os they have been awaiting the
arrival In Portland of Alfred .Stlllman,
manager for the Pacific Coast of the in
suranCT; timpact, - who alone could give
Information as to what reduction) in
insurance rates would be made by the
compact if a fireboat was recured for this
city.
The report further states: "A wooden
fireboat with a capacity of 6000 gallons
per minutes can be built here. In Port
land for from $40,000 to 150,000. It can be
operated at a cost of from I800O to $10.-
000 per year1. Chief Campbell, of the fire
department, tells us that no portion of
the present Are department could be cut
out were a fire boat owned and oper
ated by, the city, the number of com
panies being at the present time small
and the area of ths city so large that
the present number of companies must
at least be maintained even with a fire
boat.
"Under the present charter it is Impos
sible for the city to operate, much less
build, a fire boat. The city has not the
money in the firo fund for that purpose,
and even did the general fund of the
City admit of it, the restriction of the
charter are such that the Common Coun
cil cannot transfer money from the gen
eral fund to the fire fund In excess of the
estimated amount of receipts under the
levy for fire purpose! under the charter.
When the new charter board was In ses
sion one. of your committee submitted a
clause for the new charter,, permitting
a special tax to W levied for he cost
of, fire bot."lS, although at first
approved, iSt$mmrMtii&
by the board. :.,..,
"But under section 1G of the proposed
new charter the City of Portland is
authorized to purchase and acquire fire
boats. The difficulty Is. however, that
the tax for fire purposes Is limited to
2 1-4 mills on the dollar, and the esti
mated revenue would riot permit of the
construction of a fire boat should the
new charter pass. The - proposed new
charter, moreover, cannot ' be amended
by the Legislature. We would suggest
that If the cnarter passes, an effort be
