According to a communication sent to the council by City Hugiuccr Goodrich any grade over four and seven-tenths per cent upon any street or highway is a public nuisance, and as .such is a menace to travel in each particular. A grade iu excess of this for any purpose whatever makes traction iu all its phases a detriment to hauling of loads or for rapid transit. Hence streets in ex cess of this grade should not le for vehicles, street service or for auto mobiles. To illustrate : The grade of the Southern Pacific tracks on Fourth street in Portland is on a four per cent incline, and it recently required four engines to push seven cars over the grade.
