TO KILL GRANTS IS PLAN
MOVEMENT TO REVOKE KAIL
WAY TOANCH1SE.
Special Committer -Asks Opinion Tle-
ganliHR Power Also About
Matus of Elevator Co.
Whether the City Council has the
rorr under the Uw to revoke any
ortlon or all of the franchise held
I y the Portland Railway. Light Pow
rr Companv. ia the queation aubmitted
to I'lty Attorney Kavanaugh yester
day mornlnsr by the special committee
of Councllmen. named aevarel months
ago by Mayor I-ane.
It la the desire of the committee to
take away the grants belonging; to this
, orporailon. If It can be done, and upon
ne opinion of the City Attorney wlU
..epend the action that will follow.
It ia admitted that. If the opinion holds
the Council has power to revoke. th
committee will recommend and even
urge that this be done.
The committee Is composed of Coun
cllmen Kellaher. Rushlight and
Vauchn. They have expressed them
selves at their various sessions as of
the firm belief that the Portland Rail-
v-aj Ugrht Power company s atti
tude' toward the city makes It neces
sary for the Council and all other offi
cial bodies in Portland, to meet the
company on a fighting basis." for they
declare that the policy of the company
is to wage war against the city. This.
It Is alleged. Is shown by the fact that
the company, through its officers, has
refused to pay its portion of several
big Improvements, such as bridges, and
has refused to lay certain kinds of ma
terial between Its tracks.
Councilman Kellaher. chairman of
the commttte. said: '
"The attitude of the railway com
pany is such that the officials of Port
land must do something to protect the
city's Interests. The corporation- offi
cers have refused to share the expense
of certain bridges and to lay certain
kinds of materials between Its tracks,
and the general policy of the company
seems to Indicate that they want a
fight. Now. it is up to us to see that
the city gets its shai-e and its rights in
thia matter, and we propose to do that.
We will wait for the opinion of the
City Attorney."
The City Attorney is also asked to
fdve an opinion as to the legal status
of the Portland Hydraulic Elevator
Company, controlled by the Portland
Railway. Light Power Company, and
as to whether the Pacific Telephone &
Telegraph Company can charge differ
ent rates to people in Portland, or
whether It roust levy one rate to all.
