SUING SUSAN
Having all the consideration in the
world for the nerves of the residents
of Main Street between Moss and the
Abernethy Bridge the ' city council
at a special meeting Friday night, de
cided to urge the Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company to lay the
"T" rail on that section of the street,
which is to be repaired soon. Atten
tion' was called to the hideous noises
that . are made by freight trains late
at night that run over the thorough
fare where the groove "rail is laid. It
was declared that noises would be ob
viated by the use of the "T" ra'il.-Upr
on motion of Councilman Tooze a
former motion that was adopted to
lay the groove rail was, expunged from
the record. The chairman of the
street committee announced that res
idents of the street favored the "T"
rail and some had gone even so far
as to declare they would ask for an
injunction against the laying of the
groove rail.
Mayor Dimick presided over the
meeting, the following councilmen
being ' present: Horton, Tooze, Al
bright, Beard, Holman and Roake. Up
on motion of Councilman Tooze it
was decided to have an extra guard
board on the railing of the Madison
Street Bridge. The street committee
was. instructed to give the matter
attention at once.
The council, refused to grant a re
lease to Mr. Mulligan, who is desir
ous of erecting a board walk in front
of his property on Sixteenth Street.
The council has decided that walks
on this, street must be of concrete.
At a former .meeting of the council
Councilman Tooze suggested that the
Southern Pacific Railway be compell
ed to remove the posts under the mid
dle span of the trestle at the Twelfth
Street crossing. Recorder Stipp was
authorized to make an investigation
of the legal phases of the proposition
and report at the next regular meeting
of the council. The Clackamas
County Automobile Club has gone on
record as having favored having the
posts removed. -
to be generated from that river. These
two proposed plans with the Cazadero
and River Mill plan of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company
will give an aggregate of " 116,000
horsepower developed on that stream.
Another application for the- genera
tion of 6,500 horsepower from the wat
ers of the North Fork of the Santiam
River has also been approved. A
number of other applications have
been received and approved, includ
ing one from a farmers' organization
headed by F. . C. Oxman, which asks
for water for the irrigation of .1500
'acres near Huntington.
are urged to communicate with Mr.
Tooze. The superintendent says there
are! many children of poor families,
who will not be able to obtain educa
tions unless they are given an oppor
tunity to work their way through
school.
