C. KENTNER COMFY ALLEN WRITES UPON TROLLEY Open Letter to People of Ashland Regarding Franchise Application Agrees to Prosecute Work in Good Faith Until Line Is Completed. ASHLAND, Or., June 9. In an open letter to the citizens of Ashland, published in the Valley Record, John It. Allen gives assurance that he will tile an agreement, if the franchise is granted, to begin construction with in one year and to prosecute the work In good faith continuously and com plete the came In reasonable time. The letter Is as follews: To the Citizens of Ashland: To as sist in a better understanding of the question of crontlng mo a street rall "way franchiso in Ashland, which will be submitted to you In tLe form of au ordinance to be voted upon at a special election next Saturday, the 11th Instant, I desire to say that Jthoro is nothing sought or asked for which is not deemed necessary to the financing of the project and the early completion of the line through tho longth of the Rogue Itlver val ley. No unfair advantages are desired "by me. In thla enterprise tho advan tages are believed to be mutual and I believe I can be very helpful in the promotion of the best interests of your city. I do not come to antag onize them nor to invite hostility by seeking a so-called blanket franchise, to appropriate tho use of your streets' to. your dlscoirifort or disadvantage. The franchiso is in1 the usual form. It had to be made acceptable to capi talists to got money for a costly im provement such as this will be and from which wo must wait some time boforo wo can hope for a return of profits, That time will depend upon tho growth and development of your splendid resources in this valley. Wo pin our faith to such growth and such .development as present favorable conditions Justify, otherwise there would be no Issue of a street railway ' franchiso hero in connection with our proposed interurbnn line connecting all tho towns of tho valley. Lot mo say, In answer to some ob jections' I have hoard, that I have novor entertained nn idea of running lino through tho narrow section of your main street, nor Into the Plaza or through your parks. Neither is It Intended to double track your street; soma of them might bo In tho distant future when your city had a popu lation of many thousands. Thai would bo decided by them, if tho question arose within fifty years, be cause the operation of this franchiso ,J, within Bpeclflc terms, to be un- der the reasonable regulation of the city council. Tho franchise carries the usual provisions as to grading and Improve ment of streets, placing .upon the rail way company the liabilities as to bearing Its proportionate share of the expenses, such "as you will find in other cities. We cannot dig up the streets at will, but where it is necessary to be done to construct our line we must make repairs and restorations so as to establish "the same in good order and condition as soon as practicable and without un necessary delay." Read the franchise and you will find that tho objection that there is an absence of provision for the protection of the streets Is due to a misunderstanding or lack of knowl edge of its terms. To meet an objection raised by a gentleman in the Ashland Commer cial club, that the franchise was not sufficiently specific In requiring that having once begun tho work of .con struction of the lino on a street, I should prosecute tho same to comple tion within a reasonable time, I have placed with Mr. M. F. Eggleston of a special committee of said club tho following letter and another copy has been given him for filing as recorder of your city: "Ashland, Oregon, Juno 7, 1910. I Intend to accept the Ashland fran chise, If granted, In good faith and promise as part of my acceptance to file an agreement In writing to begin construction within one year, as pro vided, and to prosecute tho work in good faith continuously and complcto the same In a reasonable time, un avoidable delays beyond my control not to be charged againEt me. (Signed) "JNO. R. ALLEN." 'If this franchise Is granted, I ex pect to set about earnestly to build the lino as soon, as possible. Inves tigation will show you, I hope, that that is my method of business and that franchises are not sought by mo for mere purposes of exploitation. If Ashland wants an intorurban lino placing her In frequent and conveni ent communication with tho whole Rogue River valley, It may bo signi fied by your approval of this fran chise, which will bo presented to you as c'ty ordinance No. 426. I may say that from what I have recently learned of tho conditions here, it is quite probablo I would make an early extension of tho line to your state normal school, if tho state In Its wisdom shall continue that useful institution. Furthermore, tho lino would bo thonco extended to the Wagner soda springs as soon as the conditions would warrant, for, as I concolvo, these springs In the upper valley, are sure to become popular becauso of their flno potable waters and the thorapoutlc properties of somo of them. Tholr location, too, In such a splen did sconlc environment, with tho fine Invigorating mountain air, will strengthen tho attraction' which these places afford. I ask the voters to glvo fair con sideration to this franchise In justlco to their Interests and to those of tho valley generally. I havo largo Intor-i ests of my own in this valley. I beg to assure you I am as deeply Interested in tho welfare of tho1 Rogue River country as any of you, and as to the proposition submitted, to you, I believe I can bo of very great service to the city of Ashland. Respectfully, JOHN R. ALLEN. ' "HYPOCRITES DRINK BOOZE ILLEGALLY'' ALASKAN MINERS AGAIN MOUNT MT. M'KINLEY FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Juno 0. -Mt.
