Jn a formal report. City Superin tendent Fred W. Scheffel asked the council to adopt a policy to be fol lowed for the remainder of the yenr regarding the airport and Prescott park improvement projects. He said the total expended by WPA on the present airport project la 140.743.67. with a balance to be expended of 76.735.33. The question of policy was referred by Mayor Porter to the airport and finance committees for report at the next meeting. A letter written by City Attorney Frank P. Parrel! and read by C. C. Furnas informed the council that a recent amendment to the Bancroft act provided that Bancroft bonds may not be Issued where the amount of improvement bonds authorized by the Bancroft act. together with Im provement bonds authorized by the charted, exceeds 5 per cent of the assessed valuation of the city. Ten Year plan out "In view of the above," Mr. Farrell wrote, "and until such time as Im provement bonds are reduced by ap proximately (50.000, assessments made upon property for Improve ments will be required to be paid as a single assessment. In other words, the ten-year payment plan will not be available to property owners." Under present circumstances. Mr. Farrell told the council, Bancroft bonds may not be Issued for about two years, the tlmo required, at the present rate, to reduce the improve ment bonds by about $60,000. Under the Bancroft plan, assessments may be paid in Installments over a period of ten years. In commenting on this. Mr. Furnas said the city's finances were in splen did condition. The Bancroft amendment puts an end to t hree small improvements which the council had approved upon petition of property owners. They are improvements of Mae street from Jackson to Sailing street, a sewer line extension on Elm street to the south city limit and a 180-foot sewer ex tension on Columbus avenue south ol Holly street. None of these projected improvement had been started. If they are to be made now, the assess ments must be paid In a lump sum. tt was explained. Firemen Puss Exam.

K&id Mr. Barry whose work at an insurance ad jus tor brings Mm In close touch with fire depart ments. "Portland ha It on us only Lecauae It la a much larger city." ! No rail-sitter tn the preaa gallery ' here la able to recall a governmental issue handled as cleanly, quietly and efficiently. (ContiDueo from Patie One for the reception of the committee action. It put Mr. Roosevelt definitely In the position of gaining prt of hia point tn n orderly and normal way without extremist revision of the court aa a branch of government. Similarly the court's reversal on the state minimum wage law foiled the president's contention that a "no man's land" of Jurisdiction existed, and forced him to fall back on the less forceful contention that, as he had won by a single vote, he still should try to reorganize the court. Between these events there have been many, leas significant but sim ilar moves, auca as repeated public proof that the court la up with Its business and Is handling cert lorn rls efflclencly. You may be sure these things did not Just happen. Note Justice V-in Devanter has contemplated retirement for a long time and his frlenda any he selected . m., Tuesday because he had fin ished his court business for the term. This Is true, but so are the conclus ions statfd above. It la popular In choice capital drawing rooms to credit the opposi tion group leadership to Chief Jus tice Hughes, who neorly became pres ident himself one day. Thia conclus ion Is merely the arithmetical result of putting hla well known nbillty In statesmanship together with his management of the court. It Is quite possible, however, that another member of tho court and at least two members of congress had equally aa much or more to do with the defense of the court. One con gressman certainly had more to do with the Van Devanter resignation. Their Identities will become known In time. Moat of the congressional authori ties were completely taken by sur prise. None was able to offer even a good Rues as to a successor, al though most of them seemed to re nl)7 the six-Justice packing bill was na good as de-Jd. They even made such bad guewws as naming Donald Rlchberg, the NRA nemesis of Gen eral Johnson. (Rlchberg undoubtedly could not be confirmed by the sen ate). Their best gue was Solicitor General Stanley Reed. Best line on It downtown was that the president would pick a circuit court Judge who Is nationally un known. Names of senators and congressmen were suggested, but largely in a com plimentary way. Senator Wagner, who la considered a good legal authority since his labor bill was upheld, ex pressed the opinion privately that no legislator who voted for the re cent Judicial retirement bill would be eligible. Others do not agree, and It might take a decision of the supreme court to decide, but wisest lawyers Btrlng along with the Wagner viewpoint. Note High on Mr. Roosevelt's list of circuit Judges are Judg? Joseph Hutcheson of Houston, Texas: Judge Sam Bratton of New Mexico, and Judge Den man of San Francisco. BY The personal motive behind the Van Devnnter retirement was that he always wanted to be a farmer Instead of a lawyer. He began pre paring for retirement when he bought a Maryland farm two or three years ago and atarted working It. In his youth, his Indiana father riecrm ed to permit him to take up farm ing and put him Into law. Just two days before his announce ment, he took Justice Roberts out to the farm and showed Roberta what an efficient farmer a supreme court Justice could be.
