in the new law.
No friction is expected when the

cars; schools in the city districts have
also been supplied with the fountains,
and many department stores have fol-
lowed the requirements of the law,
although it applies only to schools.

Toned lineup fountains in their public
parks have already made changes.
Portland has still to change number

referred to have been dealt with be-
fore and need no explanation
Document Bulky.
The document as completed last ev-
ening is a mass of words-and then
more words. The last portion of it
that dealing with general provisions,
and which was considered last even
ing, consumes twelve closely type
written pages, and their verbosity
caused even ex-Councilman Stolz to
gasp time and again and to remon-
strate against the public being bur-
dened with 1t all.
AS remarked by him nothing seemed
to have escaped the trainers, and so
specifically does it enumerate all the
powers that there is danger that the
people may think on reading that they
are surrendering all of their rights!
When it is considered that the gen.
eral provisions begin with delegating
power to the commissioners to license
doctors and lawyers, and then goes on
for two or three pages enumerating
just whom may be licensed-goes on
until it reaches the subject Of poultry
and then after dealing in detail with
that declares that it shall be unlaw-
full for a rooster or hen or both, trav-
cling separately or together to roam
the streets, and then as climax pro-
vides a penalty for them so doing, it
looks as though his protest was well
founded.
After the committee had completed
its labors a member ran through the
pages and after weighing that which
had been eliminated with what still
remained remarked that it was still
as long as the. constitution of the
United States, and this state, and the
Declaration of Independence thrown
in as good measure"
