' . Ttirre published by . Mr, George
i 8lictlierrt. a member of the city council.
; a number of days wl a communication
which was In the nature of a reply to
certain criticisms which lutd-been made
try me -tit reintttm K-WBt ssiuna,
grants and vaculloti of public property,
notably 'street,-, for which the city
' . -Lad .Tecelved ',' practically ' ; nothing of
." value In return. ' ' ' . - -
, In hia communication Mr. Shepherd
... sets tip' the contention' that It cotnea
' with ili grace for me t. indulge in such
criticisms for the reason that with the
exception of three I have approved of
. ll such vacation mf street which
have been raadV-by th city council sine
', I liavo been mayor of .thl city. In proof
of hi assertion he has submitted the
' following list of. parts, of .-street .so
.-.vacated which have not been -vetoed by
- me: part of Terrace Drive, Abcr-'-.'
n'thy street. Twentieth street. Carter
.uVTwtit-fifUi-UBtntl Kenne
dy's addition, an alley' tn. Central AI
blna, blocks J to P. GreenWay, and parta
, of eight streets vacated to th Portland
-and Seattle. Railway company for ter-
inlnal purposes. " ; . -
., Attempt to Discredit. ' 'V "
- As a' matter of fact, and by way of
. comparison with the above list, h
state that of all the ordinance va
cating street which have been passed
1iy -tneTrTBent city council t have re
toed only those vacating part of Cole
street. Lent tract, and part of Hull
-street. It is apparent that it 1 the
purpose .0 Mr. Shepherd to discredit
"me in what I have said, in the past, or
.what I way say in the future. In th
way. of criticism of the conduct of this
and other city council in respect to
the giving away of public streets to
. private i tise. .
In my messager-to th city council
-whe4n-l rfertd-to--tlilavuhJect and
- to which his communication 1 a, reply.
I sild that "Street after street had been
vaoatfd by this and other city coun
cils" "rights, grant and franchise
ha v been scattered broadcast-tnter-csts
corporate and Interest private, and
" all manner of scheme of high or low
. "degree of merit where the promoter
has beta possessed of enough of the
wherewithal .to set up a dinner to the
repreNentative of the people have been
hIiIc to secure -possession of grants, for
periods along the pathway of- time from
one- year 1n length to the tast-nrtleatone
. of eternity, with th ptiople'a Interest
in the same coolly et aside to do as
' 'best they . might." '-. ,;
Mr. Shepherd In his reply Jtiu that
lilsi statement are merely a relation of
"fucts" which are of-"record"- and are
, Kivcn that the public may. Judge and
decide for itself a to the degree of
-responsibility which is to b affixed to
the clcy council and myself In respect to
such mutters, and ' are given without
prejudice concerning, the same. Upon
its .face this statement 1 fair; In It
relation of -facta" as they are set forth
by him Trom the "records" and In par
allel, they would be undiaputable-eif
, they were true, but Inasmuch.. they
are true lri but a smU part only and
unfair in all. it is different, v : r
Only ft Half Statement.
'-.-On t(i one hand - Mr. Shepherd ha
carefully Selected- such "fact" only a
would make a showing such as he
wished to make, while upon the ether
hand he quite as carefully ha failed to
mention' others of equal Importance,
end by so doing ha made out hts case.
The' other "facts." however, which are
also or record, the suppressed "facts"

that the vacation "of a prt of Abcrnethy
street wn made for- h-aon that it
wa located upon a hillside ton steep
for teams to travel nd was rroel by
a steam railway on heavy grade and
a ten-Toot strip w reserved for a stair
way for people ou foot, who alone can
use it. - ' '
: That . Carter street and , Tweo4ilh
street were vacated for lying cross sav
tlon of hillsides, too steep tolravel
for anyone except people on.' foot for
whom strip ten reel wide was re
served for stairway, and with th
hop that sometime in the futur con
tour roadways might be built, and the
hills lying hack of on city no longer
from which. Mr. Shepherd has so- In-1 in that respect, ami
geniously winnowed j those which he
wished to us have much bearing upon
- the subject, and I feel it my duty to
"t them forth.- J
By .way of parenthesis. I would av
in a general way coiieerirtn-g the "facts'
- -which are of "record" a he term them
and upon -which he seems to set much
store, that if he had consulted me be
fore publishing them I would have ad
vised him as to th necessity of using
.caution in dnsllng with the city's reo-
. ords and to handle them a bit gingerly
if In search , of real and "actual" facts,
upon which to base a statement, such
records being somewhat elusive in that
respect and a" very sieve as It were in
tli wa y of the retention of the same. . ,
v r,... suaat on fxehl .;''f ?-'--,'
It is to be noted In th first plase
fliat he has nothing to say concerning
. the Inrger number -of valuable street
franchise and' other concessioqs, which
' htive been fronted away in the past, by
this and other city counclbnwwlilth was
, .one of the moat important matter of
puhlle Interest to which I referredV-hey
" apparently ' for some reason' having es
caped hlH notice. Vet millions of dol
lars have been - made out of thm--thnugh
not bT the people. r
. It is also to be noted that the "rec
ords" save him no bint as to the reasons
for such vacation when as a ' matter
; of fact there were everal which wer
valid a I will show.
A a sef'.er of the truth a -It exist
of record, Mr. Shepherd seems to be
ttoublw with some .visual defect of con
Hlderable Importance, else lie would have
. discovered that, the vacation of Ken
nedy's Addition wa granted for th
rittKon that the streets in that addition
.lid. not conform to the street adjacent
thereto end that u new plat would Mv
in he. made to cause them to so con
form to such streets, and that the city
was to that extent the gainer and not
a loser by such vac Hon,
lie, would -Jilso have discovered thst
In the vmiatton t blocko. J -ts P. eeen
msy. city of Portland in return received
a strip of imia ten leer. J(jer In aren
tlinn tiat hlch it vacated. M would
also have tlisiottred ost In the case
or the alley In tVntrsi Alblna, the
city had already received an equivalent
of Innd from the street front of uc
nvorwrty in exchange for uch alley.
'"That In the vacation of a part of Twen.
lv. fifth street such varition wa
ms.le for the sole purpose of stralght
eivlng out tli etrvet lines, and 1iat ex
;n tly the sums amount of land on otii

scars acros their face to mar -tiieir
beauty.
These are facta In relation-to the va.
cations of some of -the streets men
tioned by him,, to which Mr.- Shepherd
for some reason dti not consider1 It
worth his while to call attention Inhis
published statement of comparison, and
they ar not rightfully t b classed
with the rich picking such a Hull
street. 1 - '' '
' A' to " Terminal -rji
In respect . to the varation of part
of-ight street to - the Portland
Seattle Railway company for terminal
purpose. I am iulo willing to concede
that : I should . have vetoed it for the
lack of a "common user" clause In the
ordinance, to .the value of which, 1 re
gret to say I was not alive at that
lime-i-nor seemingly was Mr. Shepherd.
n respect - to . the number of ordi
nance vacating .streets or which h
states Just three have been vetoed by
me, namely, part of Cole street, Lent
tract, and part of .Hull street, I have
to say . that hs Is-equally in error as
he was in hts -statement , concerning
he others.' - In addition to vetoing the
Tacation of ; -ptirt f-Oo1e--t reet. int
tract, and part of Mull street. I have
vetoed th vacation of a part of Baker
street- a -strip off : Fourteenth street,
two ttrlp off ' Tenth stijret, one on
Jefferson street, a corner on Sixth
street, and the deep gash in the penin
sula which cut across IS street -and
leave thm 100 feet tip In the air to
be forever bridged, all but one of which
vacations, by the wty, were passed over
mywror
Some of these street concessions are
In "the 'congested district of the city
where property ha it greatest value,
where the grades are easy and - the
streets already paved, and Where street
line do not conflict or need straighten
ing and for which he city, has received
nothing in return,, but ha been pun
ished wantonly of which bo waa Rware,
yet made no mention. .. , ....... lit. ,uv,.i-
About That Banquet.- '.
: MrvvShepBerdjErya that . mjr lanBtlHge
to the city council in my communica
tion upon the vacalionof Hull street
was "discourteous - and undiplomatic"
and It may have been, and If so. by way
of explanation, I will say that at dif
ferent times 1 Imve asked that greater
care be exercised in parting with" the
rights of the public to its street and
Anally I asked for it again in the Hull
street message, and. Incidentally I men
tioned the 'blow out" at which all of
the movable decorations In the shape
nf a toy railway such as cars, engine
and railway track had been Joyously
and hilariously confiscated by the rep
resentative of the people as . befitted
the occasion, us being about the only
thing tangible whlcn had been received
In- return so far as- whs known and
.my reference to that affair was not, 1
am sorry to say, appreciated as much
as I had hoped that it would be. ,
- I will frankly confess that I am at
somewhat of a loss for the exact terms
which should govern in addressing' a
body of public Officials, th majority
of whom, while holding office will te
narlously hang on to a lot of "annual
passes" from hostile corporations in
the face of insult publicly administered
by the donor of such "passes'; nor Just
what are th expressions, of proper
courtesy in the use of -language which
It is necessary to extend to meet -the
refined tast and delicate' sense of dis
crimination la such matter of that
other person who iu addition, will al
low himself at the same time- to .he
carried upon the payrolls of the city
and a hostile ' corporation, and quit
likely I erred. In the particular, selec
tion of term which should haveriieen
used and if so why I am much to blame
