Many people sprinkle the famous antiseptic powder, Allen's Foot-Ease, into the Bhoes, and find that it saves its cost ten times over in keeping holes from hosiery, as well as lessening the friction and consequent smarting and aching of the feet.

INSISTS ON CALLING IT "REPAIRS," AND AUTHORIZED 'Custom" of City in Making Such Improvements at Expense of Gen eral Public Not Approved. The committee to which was referred the Mission-Waller streets improve ment matter, with instructions to as certain by whose authority the im provement was made and the circum stances surrounding the transaction, made its report at the meeting of the city council last night. The committee was appointed at the request of 50 property owners. The report to the council included a transcript of all the testimony. The following is the report: To the Honorable Mayor an Coinmdon Council of Salem, Oregon: Gentlemen We, your committee appointed by your honorable body on petition of D. W. Fisher and others to inquire into the matter of certain or recently done by your street department on Mission st'reet, between Thirteenth and Four teenth streets, and on the last mention ed thoroughfare from Mission to Wal ler street, and then on Waller street to the Turner road; and also on the peti tion of G. Stolz to examine into any and all acts of his while acting as chairman of the committee on streets that might be complained of, would beg leave to report as follows: That the committee met on July 17, 1913, and organized by the election of W. T. Slater as chairman and G. G. Brown as secretary of the committee. That the committee appointed July 22, 1B13, at the hour of 7:30 p. m., for its next meeting to be held at the city council chamber and directed that written notice be served upon each of the petitioners of the said meeting and requesting them to be present at the meeting and state to the committee' all matters within their knowledge respect ing said work and such notices were duly served, aa well as upon a number of other citizens whom the committed were informed possessed some knowl edge respecting the matter; notices were also published in each of the daily papers of tho city, requesting all who hnd any knowledge of tho matter under inquiry to be present and assist the committee in getting at the facts. Many Are Absent. Many of those instrumental in pre senting the petition to the council and who claimed to know much that the committee desired to ascertain, failed to attend any meetings of the commit tee, while many of the petitioners did appear and frankly disclosed to the committee all that they knew concern ing the matter. The committee deems this an opportune time to Buggnst that an investigation of the character now attempted! when those appointed to in-. vestigate have not the full power to compel attendance of witnesses and to testify under oath, can never amount to much, and all city laws should bo so amended so as to empower the council to invest those appointed to make an investigation with power to compel at tendance of witnesses, produce papers and to testify under oath. Tho committee held two public meet ings in the course of its investigation and offered to hear any one desirous to make a statement to tho committee, and offered full opportunity to any one present to interrogate the witnesses who voluntarily appeared, so that tho invos filiation was tho freest nnd fullest thnt was possible to lie mndo. A full report nf tho oral testimony given was taken down and is httrr-whh transmitted to your hnnnralilo body, together with sev eral exhibits in support of tho testi mony. Cost Ovor $500. From nil of the evidence submitted to the committee, wo find that there was a misdescription in the petition as to tho placo where tho work complained of was, in fact, done. The work was lone on Mission, Fourteenth and Wal ler streets, between the points herein before mentioned. The ovidenco shows conclusively thnt tho Turner rond con necting with these streets was at the time the work wns done, tho only prac ticable inenns of access Into tho city by those living in the direction of Turner, ex'-epting Twenty-fifth street, which wns then, or had been, In an impassable condition, and thoso responsible for do ing the work corroetly concluded that FARMER'S WIFE ALMOST A WRECK Restored to Health by Lydia . Pinkham't Vegetable Compound Her Own Story. Westwood, Md. "I am a farmer's wife and do most of my own work when I am able. I bad nervous spells, fe male weakness and terrible bearing down pains every month. I also suf fered much with my right tide. The pain started in my back and extended around my right side, and the doctor told me it was organic inflam mation. I was sick every three weeks and had to Btuy in bed from two to four days. " It is with great pleasure I tell you what Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me.

Start to-.day. it was necessary to put these streets into reasonable condition for travel We find that the work was done in the nature of repair work at the ex pense of the street fund of the city and not at the expense of owners of abutt ing property; that the cost to the city in material and labor was about the sum of $332.90, of which $9.90 was ex pended for fourteen loads of screen gravel for Burfaclng, and $20 for lum ber for a culvert; that the work was performed by those iri the continuous employment of the city and by the teams belonging to the city at a time when their services could not be made of use in any other direction; that the additional material was crushed rocle taken from South Commercial street, which had been given to the city free of cost by the Portland, Eugene & East ern Railway company. Not "Drectly Besponsible." " Wo further find that G. 8. Stolz, chairman of the committee on streets, is not responsible directly for ordering the work done, but that Thomas Corne lius, street commissioner, after consul tation with H. W. Hatch and John C. Siegmund, members of the committee on streets ordered the work done and superintended the doing of it. No spe cial authorization for the doing of this work was obtained from the council, though the council had notice through tho Btreet commissioner's report of what was being done. The work has been well and economically done. If 'Bepairs" Not Violation. We find that the manner of doing this work is not in contravention of the provisions of the charter. It is not of tho character of "street im provements," as defined in section 26 of the charter, but is in the nature of repairs, as authorized by section 53 of the charter, to be done cither at the expense of the owners of abut ting property or to be paid for out of tho general fund of tho city. By section 54 of the charter, if tho coun cil declares that a proposed repair shall bo made at tho cost of the ad jacent property, thereafter tho pro posed repair is to bo deemed as an improvement" and shall bo mnde accordingly: but if it declares that the post shall be pnid out nf tho gen eral fund, such repairs may be mnde as tho ordinnnce mny provide, and shall be paid accordingly. These two Intter sections of the charter contemplato thnt repairs of any material consequence should be authorized by an ordinance, but we do not understand from the wording of section 53 that such an ordinance h mandatory, unless the council should declare that the proposed re pair should bo mado at tho cost of the adjacent property. Well Repaired, Is Report We find that it has been the cus tom of tho street department to con sider streets, like thoso under consid eration, which connoct with main county roads leading Into the city to be In s class bv themselves, and that where tho owners of abutting prop erty fail to improve such thorough fares at. their own expense, tho streets have been kept at least passablo at the expense of the street fund. This committee doubts the wisdom of such s course, as It encourages property owners on such streets to remon strate againt permanent Improve ments, evidently concluding that the work they should pay for will be taken care of out of tho street fund. Still, looking at this matter as the testimony shows It was presented to the street department, we hardly sen how they could have done other than as they did. The streets tamed bad to be re paired and the repairs have been well and economically made. There is some testimony before the commitee which tends to show that the street department has been al lowed to nse its discretion as to when and where it should make repairs upon the streets, while there is other testi mony tending to show that in the past no repairs of any material Importance has ever been done without special au thorization therefor from the council, and we. think such authority should al ways be sought before such work is done. . Stolx's Property. We further find that the fact that O. Stolz owns some' property in Oak, Lodge addition, two blocks south of Waller street, had no influence in the ordering of the work done. Mr. Stolz purchased the property in question from the former owners and paid there for the full majket price, and the re pairs on Waller street are of no partic ular or immediate advantage to the said property belonging to Mr. Stolz. Some, testimony was offered with reference to the improvements made upon Twenty-fifth street and other streets than Mission, Fourteenth and Waller streets, but what was done in respect to those streets appears to have been done honestly and with due authority from the city. Nono of the witnesses have questioned the integri ty of either the street department or the stret committee, the members of which seems to work in harmony. Other Work Without Authority. It was conceded by Mr. Stolz that some work done on Broadway street was done upon his own initiative and without any authority from the coun cil, but no witness appeared before the committee to complain in regard to such work. Some testimony was presented to the committee that a number of years ago the city was permitted to contract debts for street work beyond the rev enue paid therefor; and that a large indebtedness in the nature of outstand ing warrants was inherited by these succeeding administrations. Such ex penditnres are in direct violation of the charter, and those who permit such expenditures are liable under the terms of the charter) but the, testi mony absolved the present administra tion and the one next preceding it from having so violated the charter. All of which is respectfully submit ted. W. T. SLATER, (Chairman) MAX BTJREN, R. P. BOISE, . G. G. BROWN, C. O. CONSTABLE, J. N. SKAIFE. Still Another Charge. Immediately on the conclusion of the Diggs trial, which is expected to last about a week, Caminetti will be placed on trial on the same charge, with Miss Norris as the principal witness. At the conclusion of Caminetti 's trial, Diggs and his attorney, Charles B. Harris, of Sacramento, will face a jury on s charge of attempting to suborn perjury in connection with the case. a II 11 n n ii ii ii ii n ii ii n tl II II II II II II II II 11 II 11 II U 10c GLOBE 10c Today THE GREAT FIRE THAT OCCURRED IN PORT LAND LAST WEDNESDAY.
