living, he did not consider 1t possible
for man to keep his family on SIS
month and offered an amendment
changing the salaries Of the patrolmen
to $S5 a month. The amendment
failed.
Firemen Are Raised.
The mayor, however, was successful
in offering an amendment increasing
the amount proposed for the salaries
of firemen, The sum of $10,540 was
named in the budget, This was auto
matically changed to $10,74O by the Or
dinance bill, which had previously
passed increasing the salaries Of hose
men. Mayor Lachmund offered to
amend the estimate, making the fig
ures SLIGO, increasing the salaries
of the regular firemen to SIS month,
and that of the chief to $780, Mayor
Lachmund said he saw no reason why
a fireman should not receive as much
as a policeman, since he had to work
practically three days in 1e.
Through Alderman Brown the bud
get for the maintenance Of the public
library was changed from $4,000 to $4,-
500. Alderman Brown explained that
the membership of the library has
jumped to 7344 members, and that the
increased amount could be used to
great advantage.
Mayor Not Expensive.
Mayor Lachmund succeeded in re-
ducing the proposed amount of $3.50
for expenses of the mayors office DR..
Sleeves, mayor-elect, had asked that
the amount be left at $3.50, because 1t
was his intention to use a stenogra-
pher in office more than has been GUS
tomary heretofore. Mayor Lachmund
said that this would be possible with
an appropriation of $3.50, explaining
that in each year of his administration
the expenses of his office had been
under $1OO.
Through a motion by Alderman
Jones it was voted to eliminate the
office of poundmaster, for which a
salary of $4OO was proposed, and to
substitute the office of police matron
instead, at salary of 5000.
1T is more important to save a
young girl than to save dog" said
Mr. Jones.
Another Fire Auto Wanted.
Against furious opposition on the
part of Mayor Lachmund and others,
the budget amount Of $4,000 set aside
for a combination auto hose and pump
er for the fire department was allowed
to stand. It was argued that $500
would take care of this need. Those
who favored the measure said that the
condition Of the horse engines of the
department warrant the setting aside
Of the amount.
Councilman Lafky was responsible
( rothe increasing of the estimate for
street machinery from $500 to $500.
From $4,000, the amount designated
for bridges was increased to $4,000,
with the consent of the finance COM
mittee This was largely the result of
the argument in favor of the Liberty
street bridge construction. While no
definite amount was named to take
care of the bridge it was agreed that
the extra $1,000 might be used, if the
incoming council saw Tit, to construct
concrete abutments to the bridge. AL
dermand Waring and Mayor Lach-
mund desired a sum OF $1,000 or $500
set aside specifically for that purpose.

said Gus c. Moser, representative
elect "The fair is peculiarly Pacific

tie difference in the taxes. We should
make the best kind of a showing, but

siderably less than 100000"
David u. Lofgren, one Of the new
representatives from Multnomah coun-
ty, believes that the legislature should
consider the matter Of appropriations
carefully, and thinks 100000 is really
too much TO take from the public
purse for the purpose He fayors, If
possible, having realty boards and
those who are to reap direct and Inn
mediate benefits from Oregon's adver-
tsing at the fair make some oxtraor-

are not likely to do this, but they

Thinks Half
a Million
Is Too Much
MULTNOMAH LEGISLATORS DIS
CUSS THE AMOUNT OF THE AP.
PRECIPITATION no BE MADE FOR
OREGONS EXHIBIT AT FRISCO.

The Oregonian Monday has the fol.
lowing story concerning the appropri-
alton to be made by Oregon for the
Panama exhibit:
"The consensus Of opinion among
the members of the Multnomah dele
cation TO the next Oregon legislature
seems to be that $5OO,OOO is entirely
TOO much for the people Of the state to
invest in their exhibit at the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco in
1915. Opinions as TO the proper
amount TO be appropriated for that
purpose range from the half million
proposed by Senator Joseph TO $780,
COO, the amount proposed by DR.. Wood
of Washington county, who was in the
city yesterday and Joined In the pro-
test against the larger amount.
ut scarcely seems wise to me that
we should Set aside as much as that"
said Senator Wood. Some Of my more
Jealous legislative friends seem to
think that the state should be repre-
scented at San Francisco a half million
dollars worth, but | cannot agree
with them"
Statistics Are Quoted.
Senator Wood has written to Sacra-
mento and obtained statistics which
he thinks throw some light on what
should be the proper amount for Ore
gon to invest in the big show at the
Golden Gate. "In 1904, at the time
California appropriated 100000 for tho
Lewis and Clark fair at Portland" he
said, consulting his notes, California
had an assessed valuation Of $l,54S,-
C0O,OO0 and a population Of 1,75O,00O.
Now Oregon in 1912 has an assessed
valuation Of about $S5O,OOOOO0 and an
estimated population of 795,O00 If we
should appropriate 100000 1t would
be over FIVE TO one what California
sent up here, not considering the vast
difference in assessed valuation and
population
81 am willing to vote for a good lib
eral appropriation, SO as to Insure
Oregon's being reasonably and fairly
represented with an exhibit that will
be credit TO the state, but to appro-
pirate 100000 is really more than the

pective speaker of the house, "but

lieve, however, that $5OO,OOO is more

good showing at the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific exposition with $125,OOO, but
as San Francisco is much further

Pacific will be larger and of longer

alton of 100000, simply Stands pat"

tage than in exploiting 0regon's re-
sources and advantages at the great

had IA years experience in the Ore
gon legislature, with one term in the

last night; 81 believe Oregon should
appropriate enough TO make credit
able exhibit of her resources and pro-
ducts. 1t will be the biggest show the
world has ever seen and will be the
means Of drawing more people to the
Pacific coast than any event that has
ever taken place. Oregon should avail
herself Of this splendid opportunity to
