TOGROSSSTREETS
Mount Hood Railway Officials
Complete Plans for
Call on Council.
RECOMMENDATION IS SURE
CItj Attorney Beilr;es New Company
Means Business and May Alc
That Permit to Knter Port
land Be Granted Soon.
Permission to eroi Villa rnu with
a temporary track to aid In lt con
struction work, a franchise to operate
a steam or electric road through some
of tha East Bid streets, and a perma
nent grant to do business In Portland,
with assurances of ample capital to
lnaua-urate and carry on Its business,
are tlie euccesslTe steps by means ol
which the Mount Hood railway seeks
to establish Itself In the city.
Arremrerncnts have practically been
completed to ask the Council at Its
meeting nest Wednesday for the right
to cross Villa acnue and possibly one
other street on the Kasl Side. In reach
ing the trestle work that has been
started arross the gulch near Sandy
Jl.-ed. City Attorney Krank & Grant,
who has held several conferences with
official of the road, probably will
recommend that the permit be granted,
with the restriction that the Council
may bare the riKht to withdraw It at
any time Its terms are violated.
Some Time 3Iut Klapse.
In tha meantime attorneys for the
company are working on a draft of
franchise which they will ask the
ouncll to grant at the earliest possi
ble opportunity. As the legal steps
necessary to complete the passage of
a franchise ordinance require from 0
to TJ days, the company cannot be
leaalljr authorised to . enter the city
unH the new year has well advanced.
ll-werer. assurance has been given
that should the right to cross Villa
avenue be secured, construction work
will proceed at once from the point
that had been reached at the time
the city authorities ordered It to stop
a, few weeks ago.
Although II. .. Clllla. of Is Angeles,
ehalriran of the bard of directors of
I Be company, has been In the city for
toe past tew days, he has not souahl
any of the city officials or others
lore.1 le Interested In the progress of
tae Mount Hood road. He has figured
on forms of franchise and has made
It -nown that the company which Is
barking the Mount Hood enterprise has
ample capital, also that It will operate
to the material benefit of Portland
when It once, enters the city.
The negotiations with the City
Attornev have been carried on by
Forest tv Fisher and C. B. Sral'h, re
spectively attorney and engineer for
h company. Thee have In turn con
sulted with Mr. Glllls. however.
Who la Furnishing Capital?
TTho Is furnishing the capital back
tf the Mount Hood project has not
been brought out yet. It has been
variously rumored that the llarrtman
Interests eventually will absorb the
road and that ther are providing the
fund also, that the line Is to become
a part of the Hill system, and that It
win be used aa a means for the Mil
waukee to enter Portland.
The City Attorney says he Is satis
fied that the people who are building
the road are responsible and that they
mean business. He has examined a
tentative draft of the franchise that
they will eeek from the city, but has
escepted to some of the terms. 'The
officers of the company have con
reded, he says, that they have lost
their old franchise granted several
years ago but under which they failed
to act.
The company Is building and equip
ping a mammoth electric power plant
on the bandy Koad and expects to
operate Its entire avstem from that
point. It mav also ilccl.Je to enter the
commercial electric field, supplying
current to private parties.
Mr. Glllls will remain In Portland
for three or four dnvs and through his
local representative has given assur
ances that the work will proceed rap
Idly If the city gives a legal right.
They had been spending from I TOO to
$30 per day previous to the time that
the city stopped them and say they
will employ a force of men requiring
a like expenditure as soon as the way
Is opened for them to proceed.
After January 1 permanent offleee
will be opened In the city and Mr.
Glllls will remain In Portland person
ally to direct the enterprise.
