New Agreement, If Granted After Legal Formalities Are Compiled W ith, Will Mean 4 5 Per Cent Increase In Revenue. Under the rental provision of a blan ket franchise, agreed upon yesterday by City Commissioner Daly and Presi dent Griffith, of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company, the revenue to the city for use or the bridges tor streetcars will be increased 45 percent. The company will pay S cents for each car operated over any one of the five bridges. The new arrangement will do away with the present contract ana revocable permit system, used in the past in fixing the bridge rental and which has been the cause of much legal controversy. Under the old system the company paid the city a total of $3782 a month for the use of the bridges, under the new schedule the revenue will be $5500 a month, according to estimates pre pared by officials of the company based upon present traffic conditions on the bridges. Under the settlement the con tracts held by the company will be abolished, including that on the Haw thorne bridge which Is now before the courts. The city and company win Join In keening tab on the number of .w . i .i mis gum; ucr catu wi In the Hawthorne bridge controversy the company agreed not only to pay the regular 3-cent rate, but to make up back payments at that rate as far back as December 20, 1910, when the bridge was completed. This will mean a payment of $45,000 as accrued rent als. The question of compensation for the use of the bridges has bothered the city for many years, inasmuch as dispute was arising constantly regarding pro visions of the contracts and permits un der which the company was using the bridges. Out of the whole mass of trouble city officials and representa tives of the company decided to formu late a plan to place all the bridges on the same basis. The present fran chise Is the outcome. While there are still some minor details unsettled the salient provisions of the grant have been determined and It is believed the franchise will be granted as soon as it has gone through the required legal formalities. To make it possible fir the company to use the Broadway bridge as soon as the tracks are completed on Broad way, the Commission will today grant the company a revocable permit to hold until the new 3-cent rate franchise is passed and becomes effective. The com pany will pay 3 cents a car under the provisions of the revocable permit. At yesterday s meeting tne question of compensation was considered in de tail by Commissioner Daly, to deter mine whether the rental should be higher. It was pointed out that as the city grows and additional cars are placed In service the Tevenue to the city on the bridges will Increase com paratively. It was said oy president urinritn that the average gross earning of each car on each trip crossing the bridges Is 41.16 and that at the rate of 3 cents toll the company will be paying J.6 per cent of Its gross receipts. This, he said, will be In addition to all other license fees, taxes and paving expenses paid by the company for the right to operate its cars. He says the aver age number of cars crossing the bridges in a day is 6049. Ordinance Drafted to Drive AH Such Buildings From City Com missioners Consider Bill.

Headed by a delegation from the Waverly-Richmond Improvement Club several East Side residents will wait on the Commissioners to urge the pas sage of the ordinance and to present petitions signed by citizens In all parts of Portland.

United States National Bank Third and Oak St. Snrplns and Capital S2.000.000 Roscoe P. Hurst appealed to Judge Stev enson to set aside the verdict of a jury. The application was taken under ad visement. As the verdict was returned by a Jury of six, out of which number four were in court on behalf of the defend ant to plead for mercy,, the Court takes the tentative view that its finding must be above criticism and probably will allow the conviction to stand. No pen alty was imposed on the defendant, but his friends seek to expunge the record of conviction because of its stain to his reputation. BUBHS'S CHIP WANTED SOCIALISTS DIVIDE OVER READ.
