XTTE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, AUGUST 19, 1909. T RAILWAY TO FULFILL PROMISE Linnton People Complain to Court of Condition of the County Road. FRANCHISE IS VIOLATED - a CD No Attention to ProTlslons Paid by rnlted Railways County Court Will Repair Road and Charge Part to the Company. . Llnrton people sprang a surprise on the County Court yesterday morning by" ftolng In a body, 18 or 20 strong, and. demanding that action be taken at once to place the Linnton road In good con dition. They complained- that the United Railways Company, after laying its track, has left the road in a dilapi dated condition, and said that repairs should be commenced immediately In order to place the road In good shape before the Kail rains begin. County Commissioner Llghtner said that tne county will Itself go ahead with the work on the Linnton road in about two weeks, and will charge the railway -company its proportion of the cost. The company Is compelled by the terms of Its franchise to haul all the crushed rock and gravel for the county rratls. Mr. Llghtner believes the county's new rock crusher near Linnton will be In operation within a week or two. He said the complaint of the railway com pany had been that no rock was avail able for repairing the road. Judge Webster said the company had been Ifrequently requested to level up the 'road If it could not obtain the roclc !to oomplete the work of macadamizing, (but that it had failed to do anything !at all. Ha said the Commissioners had (talked of cancelling the franchise and of tearing up the tracks, but that there I was some question as to whether this ( could lawfully be done. The franchise, granted by the County ! Court May 16. 1908. provides for the ! feet for Its entire length before any l railroad construction work Is begun, the expeuse of thus widening to be 1 borne by the railway company. The ! franchise further states In plain Eng i lish that the road must be placed in ' as good condition as It was before ground was broken for the track, and that the company must charge not mora than a 5-cent fare between Portland and Linnton. The railway company must also construct, gratis, 600-foot spurs to any rock quarries or gravel pits maintaineo. oy mo cwunw Regarding the 6-cent-fare suit, now pending in the Circuit Court, Mr. Llghtner says he believes the company will lose. believe any man who tenders his 5-cent fare between Port land and Unnton, and refuses to pay more. wlK not be ejected from, the com pany's cars," continued Mr. Llghtner. It was my understanding when the franchise was granted that the com pany was to charge only 6 cents for the ride between the downtown dis trict in Portland and the center' of Linnton." In case the company falls to meet any of the provisions of Its franchise. Including the macadamizing of the road to the satisfaction of the County Court, the franchise provides on its face that It shall be forfeited. It seads: If at any time, the rnlted Railways Company shall tall or refuse to do any thing which It undertakes to do In this order at the time and In the manner herein specified, or if It fall to begin the work of constructing said railway line within the time above specified, or to complete the same within 'the time above provided, then and In that event It shall forfeit all the rights herein granted, and from the time of such failure or refusal. It shall be held and deemed to be a trespasser and all of its property of every kind rnay b sum- marlly removed at Its expense by the county from the right of way hereinabove granted, and all rights herein granted shall be forfeited and held for naught. Commissioner Llghtner said yester day that the company will be held 'strictly to the provisions of the fran chise. YOCTH AFTER MEALS XABBED Applicant ror County Charity Found to Be Released Prisoner. It is not likely that Peter Newman, sent to Kelly Butte from the Municipal Court for 60 days on account of larceny, and recently released, will apply again to the Associated Charities for aid. Giv ing his name as Charles Foster, he re cently made application, not for work, but for meal tickets. From his youthful appearance he was considered a fit sub ject for the Juvenile Court to deal with, and was placed In charge of Chief Pro bation Officer Teuscher. who decided, on account of the young fellow's appearance, to keep him In custody until his identity could be learned. Foster told a hard-luck story, but when confronted with his record, admitted he had Just been released from the rockpll. He promised o return to his horn In Minnesota. HE ASKS $15,000 FOR HIS ARM James Plnder Sues Railway for Damages Due to Car Accident. James Plnder considers his right arm worth 115.000 and has brought suit in tne Circuit Court to obtain that amount from the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company. Ex-United States Senator Fui ton is the plaintiffs attorney. On the night of May 29. complains Pln der. he attempted to alight near a awen at Arbor. Lodge from a crowded Mount tt ., it was raining, and the steps were slrppery. Plnder says that as he was about to sfen off the car the con duetor rave the starting signal, and the car moved, throwing iiim beneath the rear wheels, which ran over his right arm and body. POORFARM SALE IX TAXGLE County Commissioners Refuse to Ac cept $30,000 Deposit. A fight is on between the County Court and V. A. Spanton. who recently pur chased the old County Poorfarm on the Canvon road. When the county accepted his bid. he paid J5000 as an evidence of sood faith, and was to pay 130.000 witn- in a specified time, and receive a deed. In turn he was to give a mortgage for the payment of the balance of the pur chase price. $154,000. The $30,000 Davment is now about 30 days overdue. When Spanton went to the Courthouse yesterday morning, and laid the sack containing $."0,000 In gold, and loo inter est for the time it was overdue, on the table before Judge Webster and Commls sloners Llghtner and Barnes, they re fused to-aocept It.
