the-dook in question, it was decided, upon motion, to grant the permit; subject to approval by the Engineer of the plans for the repairs, also subject to approval of the Fire Marshal. The Executive Secretary reported that all the steamship companies and terminal operators have not been heard from as yet in reference ta negotiating with the Southern Paoific Co. for the establishment of a wharfage charge at the S.P. Siding. After considering the possible effects of suoh negotiations, it was decided to take no action and upon motion the correspondence was ordered placed on file. The Executive Secretary reported progress in the matter of the dock operators' agreement, which at the present time is with the Hammond Company at San Francisco. Some delay in signing the Columbia Basin Terminals is due to commitments it has with the paper companies which have not yet been approved by the Shipping Board.

Upon motien a month's leave of absence was granted Mr. Dodson. Mr. Bailey presented a proposed amendment to Tariff No. 2-A cover­ ing rates and rules governing the use of the sheer leg derrick.

-6- November L6, 1938

At a special meeting of The Commission of Public Docks of the City of Portland, Oregon, held at 2 P.M. Wednesday, November 15, 1938, there were present Messrs. Burgard, Averill, Banf~eld, Teeple and the Executive Secretary from The Commission of Public Docks, and Messrs. Furuset, Logan and Bowes, Commissioners; Marion, Secretary and Reynolds, Examiner, from the Civil Service Board. The conference with representatives of the Civil Service Board was as requested in Mr. Marion's letter to the Commission under date of August 11, 1938. The matter of physical, as well as mental examinations af future appointees, for employment with The Commission of Public Docks, was discussed in detail. The Commission expressed itself as in full accord with the physical examination requirements as proposed by the Civil Service Board in its letter to the Commission of July 25th.

The members,of tha C~vil Service Board expressed themselves as agree­ able to the proposal that the Commission be permitted to furnish sub­ ject matter for the mental examinations of applicants for appointment to positions in the employ of the Commission. It was understood that the examination and rating, together with the preparation of eligible lists and other details in connection with mental tests were to remain under the control and supervision or the Civil Service Board, in accord­ ance with the City Charter provisions. It was rurther pOlnted out that the Commission was engaged in the business or terminal operation, rather than in a strictly Govern­ mental function, and that under the circumstances certain technical positions among employees of the Commission should be, pursuant to

the powers granted to the Comm~ssion under the City Charter, excluded

from Civil Serv~ce control. Besides the technical employees, certain c1assirications under Civil Service which were brought to the attention of the Civil Service Board by the Commission in its letter of June 22 were discussed. In view of the fact that the Civil Service Board had not yet completed its study of regular Commission employees, which was submitted to the Civil Service Board with the Commission's letter of June 22, the Board was not yet prepared to make recommendations on

-1- the revised clasSlfic~tions suggested by the Commission. After further discussion, it was agreed that the Commission should submit to the Board a list of technical positions which it de­ sired to have excluded from Civil Service, showing the names of the empleyees now occupying the positions, their duties and other details. This in order that the Civil Service Board might remove these technical positions from under Civil Service as contemplated in the Charter. At 3:15 P.M. the representatives of the Civil Service Board withdrew and the Engineer was oalled to report in conneotion with the proposed P.W.A. grant Oregon 1410-F, in the sum af $68,265.00, providing for the reconstruction of oertain portions of Terminal No.4. The

Engineer pointed out that the time allowed by the Federal Emergenoy Administration of Public Works in which to submit plans and specifica­ tions for this work,to advertise for bids, to award the contract and to commence work, was entirely lnadequate, consistent with proper prepara­ tion. Further, because of the fact that in recent years there had been so little use for Pier #5, one of the major repairs under the proposed grant, it did not appear that the Commission would be justiried in

using any of its money in the reconstruction of this unlt until water­ borne commerce improves and a real demand for the use of the faci11ties at Pier #5 becomes definitely apparent.

After discussion by the Commission, the Engineer's verbal report on the proposed P.W.A. grant Oregon 1410-F was adopted, and it was ordered that the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works be accordingly notified that because of the reasons above set forth, their proposed grant of $68,265.00 be not accepted. The Engineer verbally reported that the Works Progress Ad­ min1stration had approved his application to furnish labor at Terminal No. 2 and Terminal No. 4 in the sum of approximately $76,000.00, pro­ vided the Commission supply the necessary materials in connection with needed repairs to these terminals. Following a brief discussion, the verbal report of the Engineer was accepted, and he was instructed to proceed \rlth the W.P.A. Project as soon as poss1ble. Mr. McKinl~, Supt. of Operation, appeared before the Co~mission and stated that the Kinney Shipping Co. desired to rent the Commission's

-2- locomotive crane for use on other than the Commission's terminals. In view of the fact that the Commission's cranes are required to be constantly available for use on its own terminals, it was ordered that the request of the Kinney Shipping Co. be denied. The Executive Secretary called attention to the fact that the next regular meeting day, November 24, is Thanksgiving, and the Com­ mission ordered that the next regular meeting be held on Wednesday, the 23rd, instead of Thursday.

There be~ng no further business, the meeting adjournede

In view of the fact that use of space for thlS purpose has no relation to waterborne commerce and would undoubtedly interfere very materla11y with trucks hau11ng to and from this termlnal, it was decided upon motion to deny thls request. Communication da~ed November 21 from Mr. John Fraser, Branch Manager of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporatlon, Minneapolis, Minn., V\7"8.S read. Attached were copies of a proposed agreement covering the storlng of wheat in the Co~missionfs grain elevator by the Corporation. The matter was referred to the Executive Secretary to study the proposi­ tion and mwce a report at the next regular meeting. The follewing claim from the American-Hawallan Steamshlp Co. for damage to flour at Termlnal No. 1 was approved for payment:

A circular calling attention to the Br1t1sh Industries Fair, 1939, to be held in London and Birmingham, February 20th to March 3rd, was presented and ordered placed on file. Letters of November 14th from the Amerlcan Association of Port Authorities and November 19th from the Pacific Coast Association of Port Authorlties were read, adv1s1ng that the United States Maritime Com- ID1SSlon may discontinue the issuance of three annual Waterborne Commerce statistical Reports. As the information contained ln these reports 1S considered of great lmportance to all members of these associatlons, the

Comm1ssion was requested to v~1te to the Chairman of the Unlted states Maritime Commission at Washington, D.C., immediately, urging the continued issuance of the reports. Upon motion it was ordered that a letter be written in compliance with this request. Upon request of the Asslstant Secretary authority was granted to transfer from Special Fund "F" to General Fund certain uncalled for checks which have been outlawed by the six year statute of limltations, amountlDg to ~12.90 and covered by Warrant B-8880.

The follo\nng absence reports of employees were approved:

-2- Ralph Coles - Ten days, account illness. C. Bluhm - One day, account lllness. Henry Voderberg - Three days, aCColmt death of hlS mother. Lela Palmer - One day, account illness. Upon motlon leave of absence for thirty days was granted Mr. Banfield. The Executlve Secretary was requested to contact the various bidders on the project of lnstalling generators at the Bonneville Dam and apprise them of the Commlssion's facilities for handling heavy lifts. Letter of November 19th from L.H. Hofrman was read, advlsing that, in the opinion of the manufacturers, the crystallization of the lead

covering of cable used on the shear leg at Termlnal No. 1 is due to vi- bration in shipping by rail. They therefore refused to ship the re-Ieaded cable ln by rall at thelr own risk and advlsed that water shipment will entail a delay of seventy days. He therefore requested an extension of tlme on the contract to February 15, 1939. In the meantime the cable company will make a temporary lnstallation to the motor so that the sheer leg can be used by December 5th. Upon invitation of the Commission Mr. Hofrman appeared at the meeting to discuss the matter. Inasmuch as the operation of the sheer leg before it is finally completed and accepted by the Commission lnvolves a question of joint liability, the Chairman suggested that Mr. Horrman pay one half the cost of liability lnsurance coverage. Mr. Horrman expressed his desire to be protected if there is liability on his part. The matter was referred to Counsel for his opinion and to take up \~th the insurance company the question of coverage for Mr. Hoffinan. The question of extension of time will be held up until Counsel's 0plnlon is received and until the surety company approves the joint liability of the Commission and Mr. Hoffman. Mr. Bailey presented for consideration of the Commission a suggested tariff amendment cevering the operation of the sheer leg, embodying rates corresponding to those in force in Seattle, these rates being, accordlng to report of the Englneer, considerably lower than those ln use in At- lantie Coast ports. It was declded to adopt thlS amendment and the follow- ing ordinanoe was therefore lntroduced and no objectiens belng made, the ordinance was placed on its final passage. The roll was called and the ordinance declared passed by the following vote:

As this closing would not directly affect the Commission, it was ordered that the communication be plaoed on file, pending final action by the private terminals. Mr. Bailey reported to the Commission that an inquiry had been received through the Chamber of Commerce from the Anaoonda Copper Mining Co. as to whether, or not, the Commission could handle ten thousand tons of phosphate rook through its bunker facilities. The Engineer advised that the bunkers at Terminal No. 4 could be placed in condition in ten days to receive such a consignment and reoommended that the shipment be accepted.

Regarding the complaint from Fire Marshal Roberts, covered by Coramlssioner Rlley's letter of November 22nd, Counsel reported that he and the Engineer are working on a new ordlnance to supersede the Com­ mission's Ordinance No. 15. A circular dated December 9 from W.R. Collins, Chairman of the Portland Marine Terminal Operators Committee, was read, regarding the closing of Portland terminals at noon on Saturdays for the receipt and delivery of freight by truck. In the opinion of the Commission this is a matter which chiefly conoerns the ship operators, although the Commission is in sympathy vdth the movement and willing to concur in it as far as possible. The Counsel and the Executive Secretary were requested to make a suitable reply along this line. A letter dated December 7 from the Unlted States Maritime Com­ mission was read, explaining that the discontinuance of its Waterborne Commerce Statistical Reports is being made in an effort to simplify its publlcations and that lt is intended to have more comprehensive statis­ tical information oompiled currently and in detail. The correspondence was ordered placed on file. The Exeoutive Secretary was lnstructed to adv1se John C. Broderick, Editor-Publisher of Werld Ports, in reply to his letter of December 14th,

soliciting advertising in the publication, that the Co~~ission has no funds for this purpose. Cemmunication dated December 15th from Geo. W. McMath, Land and Tax Agent of the Union Pacific Rallroad Co., was read, calling attention to the fact that the Commission's lease covering scale track lead and shelter shed at Terminal No. 4 will expire Deoember 31, 1938, and upon motlon it was decided to renew this lease for five years. A communicatlon dated December 21st from the Executive Seoretary was read, advising that there will be a meeting of the Oregon Wool Growers

Association at ~endleton, January 8, 9 and 10th, and upon motion he was instructed to have Mr. C.H. Castner attend this convention. A letter dated December 8th from Munro, Kincaid, Edgehill, Inc. addressed to N.L. Robinson Wool Co., was read, oalling attention to an

-3- error of 100 Ibs. each in the weight of two bags of wool shipped through Termlnal No.4, and making claim for the loss they had sustained on account of these IDlstakes, amountlng to $41.75. It developed that these errors were made by the checker at Terminal No.4, Walter Suberg, and upon motion it was ordered that Mr. Suberg be notified he will be held responsible for the loss unless the Commlsslon is successful in collecting the amount from the producers. Authority was granted to reimburse Munro, Kincaid, Edgehill, Inc., for the amount of their claim. A communlcation dated December 21st from the General Appraisal Co., offerlng its services ln making an appraisal of the Commission's properties, was read. Upon motion it was decided that the Commission did not require such services and the Executive Secretary was instructed to so advise them. The following employees' absence reports were received and approved: Myrna Reardon One day account illness. Lela Palmer Four and one-half days account illness. C.W. Bourne One day aocount illness. Communlcation dated December 15 from L.H. Hoffman was read, advising that the Shear Leg at Terminal No. 1 can now be operated for loading and unloading and that it is oomplete with exception of painting and the installation of the underground cable whioh is now en route from the East.- It was decided upon motion to grant Mr. Hoffman's request for an extension of time to February 15th, 1939, to allow for the in- stallation of the cable and the palnting. Also Counsel was requested to write Mr. Hofrman, withdrawing the Comrnission's request that-he in­ demnify it against loss on account of delay in completing the shear leg. Upon request of the Engineer authority was granted to draw a warrant for $150.00 to pay the Gilpln Construction Co. for driving the new five pile dolphin and one single piling for mooring the U.S. Eagle B0at No. 38 at Terminal No.1, in order that a receipted bill may be presented to the Navy Department to reimburse the Commission. The advisability of having the new hoist at Terminal No.1 insured, at a cost of $584.00 for three years was considered. After discussion of the matter it was decided not to take out this insurance. The Engineer reported that the General Petroleum Corp. is going to vacate the Union Pacific tanks it has been using at Terminal No.4 on

-4- 201 .1-{)(

December 31, 1938, although their contract with the Commission does

not expire until March 1, 1939. As these tanks will automatically revert back to the Union Pacific Railroad Co., the Counsel ,~s instructed to eheck up on deed and lease and report h1S findings. The Engineer was requested to confer with the County officials

regarding the matter of the suggested roadway connecting the N. S~~ft Blvd. and N. Colummia Blvd. VQth Terminal No.4. On examlnatl0n of bids received for automoblle insurance, it was noted that low bid of $44.75 for coverage on nNo~-ownershipu cars

submitted by Dean Vincent Inc. was contingent on their receiving the award for Public Liability and Property Damage on the Commission's cars. It was therefore ordered that "Non-ownership" car coverage be awarded to Ray Sherman as having the lowest regular bid. Upon motion the meeting adjourned.

-2- / It was ordered that letter of June 16th from the U.S. Maritime Commission regarding terminal operators agreements be removed from the calendar until such time as the agreement of the Portland Dock Operators has been completed. The matter of pensioning employees incapacitated by age was referred to Counsel to work out a suitable plan with the City Attorney. A report dated January 11th from Counsel and the Bngineer was read, on the subjeot of the fire ha~ard along the waterfront, which was brought up in City Commissioner Riley's letter of November 22, 1938. Counsel and Engineer were instructed to draft an ordinance embodying the suggestions in this report and other needed changes to supersede the Commissi~nts present Ordinance No. 15, Which was passed in February, 1915. Letter of December 31, 1938 from the Union Pacifie Railroad Co. was read, advising that it had purchased from the General Petroleum Corporation its 011 tank and appurtenant facilities adjacent to Terminal No. 4 and had been assigned various contracts with others, including two agreements with the Dock Commission covering moorage permit and lease of pipe line, also electrical stop and signal system. They requested that the Dock Commission signify its consent to these assignments on \ their faee. "'l ~, I In communications dated January 6th from Counsel, he stated that the sale of the tank and facilities by the General Petroleum Corp. /~1 - - .»: to the railroad oompany, and the railroad company taking over this ~Q /[ their own tank as outlined in the letter from the Union Paoif1~/Railroad Co. would automatioally terminate the agreement between the Commission and the General Petroleum Corp. and that no action should be taken by the Commission with respeot to the assignment. He also oalled attention to the fact that under the terms of the deed from the railroad company to the Commission covering the property involved, the railroad company has the privilege to maintain, use and replaoe the pipe line which it owns, ex­ tending aoross the deeded premises known as Pier #5, to a tank located east of the premises and also the right to moor vessels in front of the premises and conneot with said pipe line and use same in conducting oil between said vessel and the tank. There could, therefore, be no charge made by the Commission for the use by the railroad oompany of this dook or pipe ~ine but the Commission had installed an auxiliary connecting pipe

-3- line on request of the General Petroleum Corp. and if the railroad company desires to use this latter pipe line, a charge could be made for same. Upon motion the letter from the railroad company was referred to Counsel for reply. A communication dated January 9th from L.H. Hoffman was read, requesting payment of the balance due on his contract covering the erection of the sheer leg at Terminal No.1, excepting $1,000.00, to be retained until such time as the permanent cable is installed and the painting finished. After discussion with the Engineer, it was decided upon motion to make another partial payment of $7,000.00, provided consent of the bonding company is obtained, leaving a balance due on completion of the contract of $2,702.72. Communication dated December 21, 1938, announoing August 23rd to 26th inclusive as the date for holding the 1939 convention of the Pacific Coast Association of Port Authorities at Oakland, California, was10rdered placed on file. A circular from the Special Committee on Submerged and Re-

claimed Land Legislation of The American Association of Port Authorities ~J was introduced, urging oooperation of all port and terminal bodies in opposing the Nye Resolution, S.J.R. 24, covering tidal and submerged lands in every state. It was ordered that the matter be taken up with Senators MoNary and Holman, also that it be brought to the attention of The City Council and the State Legislature. A letter dated January 11 from the Civil Service Board was read, advising that the Committee on Examinations of the Civil Service Board would, at the next meeting, January 25th, recommend that the positions listed in the Commission's letter of November 21, 1938 to the Civil Service Board be classed as "technical" and exempt from civil service.

It was later decided to remove from this technical list "foreman sweeperu , and to request that this position be put under civil service. The Execu­ tive Secretary was requested to so advise the Civil Service Board. A communication from the Portland Industrial Traffic Club, advising that the 18th meeting of the Pacific Northwest Industrial Traffic Conference will be held in Seattle on January 28th, was read, and upon motion it was deoided to send Mr. C.E. Bailey to the meeting to represent the Commission. ,

A communication dated January ?th from the Pacific Coast Asso­ ciation of Port Authorities was read, together with attached copy of telegram sent to the President of the United States, opposing repeal of the 4th Section of the Interstate Commerce Act. The Commission being opposed to the repeal of this Section, the matter was referred to the Chairman to handle as he thinks best. The Executive Secretary read a letter from Mr. A.J. Sharp, a wool producer concerned in the mistake made at Terminal No. 4 in weight of wool sold to Munro, Kincaid, Edgeh1ll, Inc. Mr. Sharp en~losed check for $20.25 in payment of the amount of claim paid by the Commission for overweight on one bag of wool, due to said mistake in marking. The following absence reports of employees were received and approved: Lela Palmer --- Five days account illness. C.C. Piper - - - Ten days account illness. J.M. Howe - - - One day account illness. ~he Executive Secretary read a letter from Dr. Paul B. Cooper, advising that C.A. Whitney, Superintendent of the Elevator, is sufficiently recovered from his illness to return to work in a supervisory capacity. The Chairman called attention to the past due account of the Robert Dollar Co., Seattle, which the Executive Secretary explained to him was being held up on account of a claim which the Robert Dollar Co. felt it had against the Commission, covering an earlier bill which had been paid. The Superintendent of Operation stated that the claim in question is due to alleged excessive cost in delivering lumber to a vessel,

caused partly by the location of the lumber on the pier and partly by the extra time required for inspection of the lumber during the delivery. The Commission ordered that a demand be made for p~ent of their account and the claim can be considered when it is received. The Superintendent of Operation reported that Pier 2 is inadequate to handle all the scrap metal shipments scheduled tor the next two weeks but that, to handle part of the scrap over Pier 5, it will be necessary to equip Pier 5 with flood lights and power tor generators. As this business possibly will produce over $5,000.00 in revenue, he felt that the cost of so equipping Pier 5 would be justified. The Engineer estimated that a temporary hook-up to cover the lights and power will cost about $600.00, (permanent installations would run to from $1500.00 to $1800.00). On his

-5- recommendation he was authorized to make the temporary installation. The Engineer was requested to check his power costs and make a report. The Chairman was authorized to fill the position of Ass't. Traffic Director (Traffic Clerk) provided for in the 1939 Budget, effeot­ ive February 1, 1939. Upon motion the meeting adjourned.

No objection. (2) Crossing of the Oregon Slough. Believe that the minimum clearance above low water should be 160 feet, which is the minimum clearance of the bridges in the City of Portland. ~ (3) Columbia Slough.

Crossing is satisfactory for temporary installation. However, should the North Portland harbor development take place, believe that the Bonneville Project Commission should agree to alter their span and towers to suit the full development of the Columbia Slough at their expense. (4) Willamette River Crossing.

No objection." The reoommendations of the Engineer as submitted to the U.S. Engineers were approved by the Commission. Upon motion the meeting adjourned.
