After the appeal of W. I Boise and J.
)(. Lena for Hawthorne tract as the
proper Fair site and that of Frank B.
flbeon and Major T. Q, Bell for City
tiew Park at yesterday's meeting:, A. F.

kt the Abrams and Knox tract and Frau
ds I. MoKenna for University Park, after
Srhloh F. R. Strong Spoke for Ross Isl
and. ,
A recess was then declared, during
shlch outsiders withdrew. When the
session was resumed the report of the
ixecutlve committee favoring the City
Park as the site was laid on the table, by
committee. Mr. Mills gave his reasons for
sommlttee. Mr. Mills gve his reasons for
the motion. He said that there is some
Boubt as to the feasibility of adequate
transportation to the City Park, as 1t
would cost about $225,000 to run cars into
the park, and the exposition grounds
would reach a grade of 8 to 10 per eent.
Director Wassinger, Who seconded Mr.
Mills motion, added that he figured that
10 per cent of the patrons to the expo
sition would corns from the West Bide,
and he regarded It as out of the question
to put that amount of traffic on the
bridges In case the Fair should go to the
East Side. ' - -
Director Fenton reported that he had
spoken to President . "Tyler Woodward,
of the City and Suburban Hallway, who
had told Mm that It-would be almost
Impossible to deliver the passengers into
the City Park, but that the cars would
be obliged to discharge their passengers
at the foot of the hilt About the bridge,
question. Mr. Fenton said that in the
course of at least three years' a new
river bridge would have to be built any
way to accommodate the Increased
traffic, so another bridge might as well be
bulit a little sooner.
President Corbett said that he always
favored the City Park as a fair site
but the addition of the Ladd to the
Hawthorne, tract had somewhat changed
the aspect of that matter, but he looked
on City Park as first choice,. City View
Park as second ana Hawthorne tract as
third. Mr. Corbett then Invited Colonel
Henry E. Dosch to express his opinions.
Mr. Dosch said that he had looked
over all of the proposed sites, and arrived
at the conclusion that if transportation
can be secured on the plateau and 60
to GO acres of level land obtained for the
buildings in the City Park, that Is the
place for the exposition. Next he. would
favor the "vacant tract of land at the
foot of Willamette Heights, then would
come Hawthorne and Ladd tract and Ab
rams and Knox tract and City View
Park.
MAYOR WILLIAMS CALLS
SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Fire Department Will Get $2000 Hawthorne
Avenfie Improvements toje Discussed.
Mayor Williams has issued a call for a special meeting of the City Coun-
oil to be held next Tuesday at 2 p. m. -f
The pressing need of improvements to Hawthorne. aveoue at the end of -f
the Madison-street bridge will be one of the subjects discussed. Under pr-
ders from the Council, City Engineer Elliott is at present engaged In form-
lug? an estimate of the probable cost of putting the avenue in a permanent
state of repair by filling. His report will be presented at the special ses-
sion, as will also a statement of the views of the property-holders of that
section on the subject.
MONEY FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT. -f
Another matter of great Interest to come before the meeting is' the prea-
ent deplorable condition of the Fire Departmest. In a communication -
presented at the last session of the Council, Colonel Weldler, for the Board
of Fire Commissioners, asked for an appropriation of $4000 to be applied in
part for the purchase of horses and hose.
In speaking on the matter this morning. County Auditor Devlin said:
"While It was impossible at the last Council meeting to do anything in the -f
matter of the Fire Department from lack of ..money, the amount received -f-
from license payments has somewhat bettered our financial condition. We -f
have now probably $2000 which can be given to help out the fire boys.
"Of course, the Council understands that they really need about $10,000.
but It Is Impossible to. fully meet the necessities of that department at this -f-
time. I do not doubt, however; that It will be worked up to an efficient -f
standard Just as soon as we can secure the money with which to do It."
