UNPAID CITY LICENSES.
Mayor Anxious That all Delinquents
Come Forward and Settle That
He May Close his Accounts.

Corporation licenses are due on the
first day of July of each year, but the
bulk of them is never paid until la
ter.
The Mayor is clothed with power to
seize the goods and chattels of such
as neglect to pay their license tax,
and such delinquents can be arraign-
ed in the Police Court and fined for
conducting business without Ii
cense.
As has been the case with his pred
ecessors, Mayor Paff during the eight
years he has been in office has waited
long and patiently for some persons
to come forward and pay their licen-
ses, and in cases nearly year has
elapsed before he could make final
settlement with the finance commit
tee. The present executive'e term OF
service will expire on the first in
slant, and as the city expects him to
collect all licenses placed in his
hands July first, he is anxious that
delinquents settle at once.
The law of the city compels the eX-
ecutive to give bond of $4,000 be-
fore he begins the work of collecting
licenses. When the same are placed
in his hands he becomes responsible
for their collection, and cannot re-
turn them to his successor without
making oath that the delinquents
have no goods or chattels on which to
levy.
A certain percentage of the people
engaged in business invariably pay
their license taxes as soon as they are
sent to them. A large number, how
ever, keep the policeman appointed to
collect licenses calling upon them for
months before paying their assess
mentS.
Mayor Paff has been considerate
towards all as is consistent with his
position. and he hopes those interest
ed will take notice and relieve him OF
the necessity of forcing collections.

WARM SUNDAY.

With the temperature at SO degrees
and the humidity 81 per cent, yester,
day was not comfortable and was in
marked contrast to conditions Of the
previous Supday, when the weather
was reasonably cool.
The weekly Weather Bureau bulle-
tin says:
The distribution of barometric pres
sure over the North American contin-
ent and the adjacent oceans is such
as to indicate that the coming week
will be moderately warm over the
great Central Valleys, the Lake Re
gion, and the Eastern and Southern
States, while normal temperatures are
probable on the Pacific slope and in the
Rocky Mountain region.
The precipitation during the week
will be generally light and local, and
fair weather will be the rule. There
are no signs at the present time of
conditions favorable to the develop
ment of disturbance in West Indian
waters.

weighted over by the ice to such an
extent that they may not live.
Sudden Freeze Causes Damage.
The main part of the destruction
came Sunday morning about o'clock,
when a heavy wind storm set in, fol-
lowing a quick drop in temperature.
The trees were covered with the soft
ice, which, when the mercury dropped,
froze solid. The wind swayed the
limbs back and forth and the entire
city resounded with the swapping and
cracking as the ice and trees and
branches collapsed to the sidewalks
and streets.
Yesterday the temperature was be-
low the freezing point, the maximum
being 80 degrees at o'clock. Fol-
lowing that a cold north wind dragged
the temperature rapidly down to 26
degrees and left the trees encased in
hard, brittle cakes of ice, which would
cause much breakage in case OF a
high wind.
Dozens Of workmen were out with
axes cutting pathways through some
of the streets on the East Side. In
some places the brush and debris was
so thick that passage was impossible,
even in the car tracks. Hundreds of
wagon loads of brush were hauled
away.
Mail Boxes Frozen.
Postmen had great difficulty in the
collection Of mail because of the froz-
en- boxes. In nearly every district it
was necessary to beat the ice from
off the locks with clubs and to melt
the ice from the keyholes of the
locks.
The fire alarm system, which went
out almost simultaneously all over the
East Side, was restored yesterday af-
ternoon in all the districts excepting
Sellwood and Albina.
AT the City Park much damage was
done Large limbs from trees were
broken off and shrubbery was mashed
to the ground Park Superintendent
Mische says it will be impossible to
determine the extent of the damage
there until the ice melts off and the
condition of the plants and foliage is
seen. 1t is thought that many pretty
plants will wilt and die as a result of
the "thaw"
Rose Bushes Hit Hard.
Rose bushes have been hit hard BY
the storm, and it is said there is a
likelihood of a rose shortage in some
sections in the spring. The longer
trunks of the bushes have been
crushed to the ground, and smaller
branches have been broken off
Whether or not the extreme bending
OF the main stalks will cause the
shrubs to die is uncertain.

ly difficult yesterday because of the
cold and the inability of the workmep
to knock the ice from the wires.
