OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1907. FUEL GAS FRACNHISE Portland Gas Company Wishes to Erect Plant and Supply Oregon City Patrons WILL CONSIDER OFFER Board of Trade Appoints a Committee of Five Citizens to Consider Terms of Offered Franchise. The Board of Trade met in a spec ial session Friday evening In the county court room to discus9 the feas ibility of passing a gas franchise per mitting the Portland gas company to erect and eperate a fuel gas plant In Oregon City. Mr. "William Adams was present as the representative of the Portland company. The Portland company is now erect ing fuel plants In St. Johns and Asto ria, similar to the one they wish to install here. The proposition Is to erect a $50. 000 fuel gag plant at Oregon City, serving the citizens of this city and suburbs with ga3 for fuel. According to the terms of the franchise submit ted for the inspection of the Board of Trade the company will furnish gas for fuel at a maximum charge of 75 cents per thousand cubic feet, with a graded rate which will give It to large consumers at ' 35 cents per thousand. In addition the company is willing to pay an annual license tax of $200 per annum and furnish free gas for the city hall and fire department The franchise is to run for 25 years with a proviso permitting the city to acquire the property at the end of that period. The rite offered In this city Is much less than that charged In Port land. The company explains that this is made possible by Improved methods of manufacture and les3 cost In dis tribution. Automatic pressure will be used to distribute the gas on the hilltops. Small mains made possible by this plan will greatly reduce the first cost of the distributive plant. The product used in the manufac ture of the gas will be largely petro leum. The franchise submitted was re ferred to a committtee of five, cora Tosed of Messrs. Thomas F. Ryan, Capt. Shaw, D. C. Ely, John Adams and George Randall. The committee will hold a meeting Monday evening and the Board of Trade will meet at Judge Ryan's of fice Tuesday evening to hear the re port of the committee on the fran chise and the features it covers. Members and citizens present ex pressed themselves as pleased with the prospect of fuel ga3 and It Is the general opinion that the franchise of fered i3 fairly liberal. The company offers to put up a bond of $5000 for the faithful per formance of its part of the agreement, in case It3 franchise is accepted. SALOON CLOSING RUMOR PREMATURE A well' defined rumor was afloat to the effect that District Attorney Hedges would warn the saloonists of Clackamas county to close on Sunday, by request of the Oregon City saloon ists. But the District Attorney says that no such request has been made, and that he ha3 not decided to take action in the matter. Estacada seems t6 be the only village that has not of itself closed its saloons on Sunday. The District Attorney has decided on no drastic measures as yet. SPUR NEARING COMPLETION The spur of the O.
