TRUE TO FORM
We wish to comm end C ity Commi-
-¡oner Ralph C. Clyde for his appoint
ment of Mr. V ader Adam s to a posi
tion on the street cleaning departm ent
for the City of Portland.
Mr Adams is a Colored man and was
the highest in standing o f those certified
to Commissioner Clyde by the Civil S e r
vice Board, his rating being 9« per cent
Mr. Adams had been on the eligible list
since November, 1927.
We understand he had been ignored
in all form er vacancy positions, there
always being three certified up to the
City by the Board and any of the three
could be selected, so that where the two
lower men certified were not Colored.
Mr. Adams had been disregarded and
one of the other tw o chosen.
M r Adams was a veteran of the great
war and is a m ember of the American
Legion.
This appointm ent was the first made
in this departm ent since Mr. Clyde took
office as C ity Commissioner, and his
selection of the highest m an on the a c
credited list is very pleasing to the
Colored citizens of P ortland

Last year, thousand« of persons invested more than
$850,000,000 of new capital in the electrical industry.
This steady (low of new capital, in spite of ifencral
business conditions, clearly demonstrates the faith
of the American public in the electric utilities and
their managements. Without this confidence, the
industry would lie unable to keep pace with the Con
stantly increasing demands being made upon it.
