Taylor, Lafe Pence and Attorney C. X. Idleman. all the mem bers of the streets committee of the Council, wtth the exception of Dan KellHher. ye.terd;i y morninic inspected the route embraced in the applica tion of the Pence Company for a fran chise to maintain and operate an elec tric road through certain streets of thla city to the town of L,innton. The party traversed the route in automo biles. Boltisr as far as Cl.tremount Tav ern, and mariV a careful examination of the projected line. Orr May - the County Commlsaion r (ranted the Ceaca Comcanv. the rleht to use the county road from the city limits to Linnton, conditional that tho corporation should furnish sufficient crushed rock and screenings necessary in making: a suitable road way tne entire distance. What the Company Offers. In Its application U the Council for a franchise "within the city limits to a connection with the line designated, the company offers, at its own expense, after the grades have been established by proper municipal authority, to bring the streets to proper grade, making all the cuts and fills necessary to estab lish the same, before laying its tracks thereon: and It further agrees to furnish whatever of gravel, crushed rock or stone block that may be neces sary for. the pavement of the street, from curb to curb, without any cost or expense to the property-owners -or to the City of Portland, and will de liver the materials upon the ground, ready for tise, under the supervision of the proper authorities, and agrees also to keep the streetR in proper repair during the term of the franchise. Councllmen W. T. Vaughn. R. E. Menefee. John Annand. H. W. Wallace, V. T. Masters and A. N. Wills composed the street committee delegation, and while none of them was ready to ex press any, opinion relative to the feas ibility tif the proposition, the fact that they suggested some material changes In the route is taken as an indication that they view the Idea with considerable favor. Original Rotite Proposed. Aa originally planned the Pence com pany proposed to use the following streets: On St. Helens road from the west ern city limits to Nlcolai street: on Twenty-sixth and One-Half street from the north lne of the Mde tract to lha Junction of tat. Helena road and. Xlcolal street: on Kicolal street to Front street; on York street from, the east side of the Meade tract to the junction of Charles and Twentieth street; on Charles street -from Twen tieth to Front street; on Front street from Nlcolai street to Thirteenth street; on Wilson street from the east line of the Louis Goldsmith tract, be tween Twenty-seventh and Twenty eighth street to Twentieth street: on TwentTeth street from Wilson street to Overton street: on Overton street from Twentieth street to Ninth street: on Eleventh street from Overton street to Flanders street: on Flanders street from Eleventh street to Front street. The change of route suggested by City Engineer Taylor and adopted by the Councllmen contemplates a line from the Twenty-fifth street entrance to the Fair grounds to Vaughn street; thence to Twentieth; to Raleigh; to Fifteenth: to Hoyt; to Seventh and a connection with the L'nited Railways Company line, with which an inter change of transfers Is proposed. In aJl probability a meeting of the streets committee will soon be called to act upon the proposition of the Pence company in time for submission to the special session of the Council next Wednesday night.

Provisions of Proposed Measure Is Similar to Banf ield-Vej sey Or dinance In Many Respects. An ordinance granting to the Portland General Electric Company, its successors and assigns, for the period of 25 years, the right and privilege to lay down, main tain and operate steam pifies, apparatus and appliances In and under the streets, alleys and public highways of the City of Portland for the transmission of steam and to supply steam and heat to the in habitants of the City of Portland, and to charge and collect tolls, rates and com pensation therefor, has been presented to the Council. It is provided in the ordinance granting the franchise that the company shall have the right to charge all persons and corpo rations to whom It shall furnish steam for heat or other purposes thereunder at the rate of 75 cents for a quantity of steam sufficient to make 1000 pounds of condensed water. It is also provided that the company shall begin the laying of pipes within six months from and after the day this ordi nance shall be In force and diligently within two years thereafter shall have pipes laid within the streets and alleys of that section of the City of Portland lying between the Willamette River and Twelfth street and Gllsan and Taylor streets, its plant exec led and equiABed, and plant and the pipes within the dis trict sufficient and ready to furnish steam for heat to all the inhabitants of Port land. The total estimated cost of the plant. Including pipes. 1s J200.000, and the esti mated yearly expenditure thereon Is 150, 000. As compensation to the city the com pany proposes to pay J1000 a year for the first ten years; $1500 a year for the next ten years, and $3000 a year during the last five years. - The company also offers as a condition precedent to the acceptance of the ordi nance to give the city a good and suffi cient bond in the sum of $50,000 aa an evi dence of good faith that it will, within two years from the date the ordinance goes into effect, be equipped with a plant and prepared to supply steam heat to the people of this city. - The franchise sought to be obtained by the Portland -General Electric Company is similar in ita general features to the one applied for some weeks ago by the Ban-fleld-Veysey Company, and vetoed by Mayor Lane, although H is believed that it avoids the objections urged against the Banfleld measure by the city's chief exec utive. The American Investment Com pany also has an application for a fran chise pending before the Council, based upon practically the same lines. The matter has been referred to the streets committee of the Council for consideration. SPECIAL RATES EAST.
