Mayor Lachmund announces ho will veto the proposed franchise for the Portland, Eugene & Eastern rail read as agreed upon by the council last night and which In the form of an ordinance will be presented for passage at the next meeting of the council. That much Is certain, for the may or, after waging a losing battle Inst evening In favor of the life of the franchise being made 25 years and In favor of the compensation to the city being made over five times as large as that agreed upon, virtually served notice to that effect upon the councllmen. Whether or not the council can pass tho ordinance over his head Is problematical. A handful of council men stood valiantly by him In his fight and there exists, of course, the possibility that they may Influence enough votes to prevent the fran chise from passing over the veto. With Councilman III11 and Low, who were absent to reckon with the present situation would Indicate that tho railroad people havo the best of the situation, and that unless condi tions change, It la likely the fran chise as agreed upon will be enacted Into law, despite the veto of the mayor. Ilrgnn Enrly, Contimio Late. The council began Its debate on the franchise early In the evening and It continued until almost mid night and as each hour passed by, the heat of the debate Increased un til at the end, It sizzled, Frank Waters, representing the railroad company; opened the dis cussion by saying that the company took exceptions to tho action of the committee as a whole shortening the life of the franchise from 35 to 25 years and also to the compensation fixed, declaring the company would rather Increase the flat rate than have a tax fixed on their gross earn ings. The present franchise has a period of 35 yearB yet to live, and In view of this and the fact the com pany will spend the first three or four years In Improvement, ho felt the life of tho franchise should not be reduced. Councilman White arose and de fended the action of the committee of tho whole In reducing tho life of the franchise, declaring that most cities wero now granting franchises for ;a term not to exceed 25 years. This brought Mayor Uiclimuml to his feet with the declaration that Councilman White expressed hlB sen timents on the subject and that with the further declaration that while ho did not Intend to participate Ijt the legislative part of the seHSlon, that ho expected when tho time came to exercise his powers as mayor and t'rat ho hoped that the franchise would be framed so that he would be able to sign It. With the view of giv ing an opportunity to the council to Intelligently consider tho subject In thiB respect, ho outlined bis vlows which were for a 25-ycar franchise and a high compensation.

Dr. Stone drug (tore, Crown Drug Co- Councllman' Jones and Pennebaker lined up with White but Councllmen Townsend, Rlgdon and Slegmund were In doubt of the wisdom of shortening the existence period of tho franchise. Frank Waters assorted the com pany would not be willing to accept a franchise with less than a 35-year year period and a vote was then fin ally taken with the result that the franchise was made to read for 35 Instead of 25 years, the railroad peo ple winning the first round. Real Fight Begins. The real fight began when the council took up the compensation feature of the franchise. 'The com mittee of the whole bad fixed It at 1500 a year for each five-year per iod, together with a tax on the gross earnings, but to this tax the company objected. As a substitute lor It, the company offered to pay $400 a year for the first period of five years, and to In crease this $100 for each five-year period until at the last period of the 35 years, tho company would be pay ing $1,000, making a total for the period of $24,500, and Mr. Waters de clared that this was as high as he was authorized to go. Councilman Jones leaped to his feet with an amendment that the compensation be fixed' at $1,000 a year for the first five years, and that It be Increased $1000 for each five year period making a total for the life of the franchise of $140,000. Several of tho counoilmen audibly demurred and observing antagonism to the move, Mayor Lachmund arose and In an Impassioned address de clared that they were surrendering everything to tho railroads and that while they were free to proceed and give them everything that he warned them that they would have to do It over his head. "look after the city of Salem," he declared, "the railroads will look af ter themselves. I am not solicitous for the welfare of tho railroads for they will get their share. I believe that the railroad - should pay the compensation outlined by Council man Jones do not believe In giving them everything. The Southern Pa cific Is not a philanthropic Institu tion never was and never will be, end It Is tip to the council to look af ter' the Interests of the people. Just Sop, Ho Says. "I am not. going to object to the 3lycar period of the franchise, but I am going to take a stand on the compensation. Every concesslson made so far by tho railroad com panies Is just so much sop given you. I am not going to be a piker In this fight and the councllmen should not bo. You may give every thing If you want to, but you will have to do It over my head. I hrcatens referendum. Councilman Jones declared that the people would never stand for the action of the council. "Pass this franchise In tills condition and the peoplo will Invoke tho referendum on It," he shouted. Councilman Waring wanted to In crease the compensation 50 per cent, hut his motion was lost for the want of a second. Without much further debate, the council settled down nnd agreed upon tho terms suggested by the rnll rond company. The Woman, Cow and (lie KIkh. The question of running freight cars on certain streets was tho sig nal for more pyrotechnics. Councilman I'cnnelinkor declared tiie company was imlng their resi dence strectH of the city for Its freight lines and Junes declared that the people generally wera opposed to It, and there was, no necessity for It. Tired and weary and discouraged Councilman Itlgdon flnnlly arose to discuss the question. "The railroads had to enter the city from some place, he declared, and he did not know Just how tliey were to accomplish it without enter ing on a street where there were residences. Mo bad observed that the fact that railroads run freight tialns on a street, had not deterred people of the clly from building handsome residences on them. The objection to them with relation to this matter always seemed to lie be fore tho coming of the road and not afterwards. He aswrted that It was lor the council to say whether It wanted a railroad or not, and de clared that bo far as he was con cerned, be was getting tired of the whole wrangle. "Councilman Ilrown entered the debate In his support nnd declared tliat freight cars ran In front of lilt residence and that he did not find them so objectionable.

"You remember the woman who kissed the cow, don't you?" bawled Jones.- "Yes," replied Brown. "Well, It Is every one to his own nctlon," shouted Jones, This being apparently a verbal solar plexus, Brown sat down and digested It, and then after a few more remarks on the subjoct, the council finally agreed to let the company run freight cars over the streets asked for In the franchise and they are Twelfth, Trade South Com mercial and Front.
