Great LOSS Suffered By Big Store in Disas terous Fire Monday Night The 22nd E TO MAYOR BELIEVES COUNCIL HAS MADE A MISTAKE IN THE FRANCHISE TERMS DETERMINES TO USEJVfTO POWER Thinks Exercise of Executive Right is Only Way to Save Water Front to Posterity and ' Decides on Stand Believing that the dork riphta nf h,. city have beon donated to coroprations by the franchises. Mayor Llun E. Jones will probably veto both of them nnuui me next tew days. After goine nv-pr tha ri-an.t.iA.. they have been submitted tn hi h mayor still believe that he will have to veto me ordinances on the ground that the city Interest are not welt enough protected and that the dock rights on the river have been given to tho companies. He is heartily iu favor of granting the franchise to the companies and he wants to see the railroads come into the city but he doea not believe that the council should give away right on the river that, in later years, may he one of the most important source of the city' wealth. He figures that, within a few years, the transportation competition will not bo between railroads but between rail and water lines and he think that the city ought to make provision for larger steamer up its river and with plenty of docking rights for all who wish to come. He think that the gov ernment will deepen tho channel and that larger boat will be able to travel up to Oregon City on the Willamette and that the city ought to look more to the future than to the present in granting franchises that they, at the end of 15 or 20 years, become worth many thousand of dollars. He call attention to the fact, also, that the franchises do not rqeuire the companies to establish their grade In conformity with those of the city on these street where the grade have not yet been determined. In ucu event, the railroad would be run In such a Jlue that docking at some point would be out of the question and the only use that could be derived would be the benefit that the road could get. He does not think that the city hould have that confidence la any corpora tion that would expect It to do aom thing that it doe not have to do and that there la no way to require It to do. In view of the .circumstances, the mayor will probably veto the meas sures within the next few days. He is given, under the law, until January 4. Tow Lawson does things In a big way.
