Hy a unanimous vote, the veto of the mayor was sustained In spite uf the rumblings that had been heard that the council would overrule the execu tive disapproval, The. mavor noes Into the ronton why he thinks the franchises ought to be again considered and submitted amendments that. If adopted, woul.l jraln his signature to the ordinance The general sentiment or tne council was In favor of the amendments re- quiring the roads to conform to the grade o fWator street later to be es tablished and to4nslst that better pro tection be given to the city's rights along the water front. Because Harvey E. Cross, as tho Carver representative, asked for tlmo In which to consider the amendments that the mayor auAcountil propose to make, the franchise matter was post poned until the next meeting when the new members will take office and take the question under consideralion. Following U the mayor's veto mess age: "Oregon City. Oregon, Dec. 31, 1912.

I be-j lieve the ordinances to be good, but in some particulars I feel the city's in terests not fully protected, to-wit: In the Portland and Oregon City Railway company'a franchise section No. 1 grants double tracks on 15lh street from Center to Water streets. I am Informed by the city recorder ' that the Clackamas Southern railway j has a franchise for one track on 15th ! street from Center to Water streets. 1 In this franchise you have granted privileges for double tracks. This 1 1 do not deem necessary as three tracks would occupy too much of the street.
