The Port of Portland Commission.

PORTLAND, Jan. Especial AT a
meeting of the taxpayers committee of
100 today the first step toward aboiishins
the port of Portland commissions was
taken. The commission was created sew
eral years ago by the Legislature. and was
given power TO create a twenty-hve-foot
channel from Portland TO the sea. Bonds
aggregating $500 600 were issued, and the
Columbia and Willamette were improved
SO that great portion of Oregon and
Washington reaped the benefit of the i'm
provements. The commission lately has
been spending money in making a new
channel at Snag island. in the Columbia
at an outlay of large sum. while it is
claimed the old channel could be improved
81 a much less cost Other charges of
needless expenditure of money have been
made, and now it is determined to stop IL.
With this object in view the committee
will appeal TO the next legislature TO sbol-
ish the commission.

animation Of the final report of ex-Re-

pany. proves conclusively that the press
and street reports of the rottenness Of the
institution were not in the slightest degree
exaggerated. While the report contains

gumenfs against the wisdom of his ap-
pointment, he owing two notes to the
bank. The receivers attorneys, contrary
to the strict letter of the law. were the at
torneys of the bank prior to its suspen-
sion, and they were also borrowers from
the bank; 50 also were the stakeholder
and his attorney. who instituted the suit
for Mr.. Richards removal. The principal
petitioner in that case held stock to the
amount of $500, for which ne had given
his note in payment and had not paid q
dollar in cash, and yet he had raised from
the bank over s., 800. In his report the
receiver says: II have also found that
nearly 500. 90 is due the bank from the
directors and stockholders. and upon this
amount I have received comparatively
nothing" and he adds further that in his
attempts 10 obtain security "from such
parties as were not personally friendly"
he has ''been subject to severe
criticisms by them. which criticisms
