Jitneys to be licensed. Fee of

leading beyond seating ca

Limited Inspection of all cars

Jitnevs. to be required to oper

streets and to keep off Washing
ton and Alder streets in West
Side business center.
Jitneys to be required to stop
on near side of crossing and to
be required to stop before cross
ing train tracks.
Before the largest crowd ever as
. . eembled in the City Council chamber In
- years, the Council yesterday made Its
first official effort to decide upon the
terms of an ordinance to regulate the
Jitney business.
Discussions were punctuated by the
applause, cheers or hisses of several
hundred streetcar conductors and motor
men on one aide or by an almost equal
" number of Jitney drivers on the other.
- all depending upon which side of the
controversy the speaker made his argu
ment.
The jitney drivers left their machines
:" in the streets near the Ctty Hall. The
I streetcar men were in uniform, some
i carrying their lanterns and seat pad
' and many with their money belts filled
. with nickels and pads of transfers pro
trudlng from their pockets. The cham
ber became so crowded that a squad
' of policemen were sent to stand at the
I doors to keep others out.
; Agreement Is Brought Nearer.
The Council got considerably nearer
an agreement on the question of the
' extent of Jitney regulation than it has
' been able to get heretofore. It became
apparent that, whichever way the leg-
. islatlon goes. It will not suit all sides,
for if it is drastic it will offend the
, Jitneys and if it Is not it will offend
the streetcar men. The Daly jitney or-
dinance waa referred back to Mr. Daly
for redrafting.
The first tilt came when Commissioner
: Daly moved for the indefinite postpone
ment of the drastic regulation ordl
. nance he introduced some time ago. Mr.
: Daly explained that the measure was so
', drastic that it would put the Jitneys out
. of business.
Commissioner Dleck opposed the k 111
' lng of this measure, holding that It has
' provisions that better serve the needs
of Jitney regulation than do the pro-
: visions of the proposed new measur.
submitted by Mr. Daly.
Mayor Opposes Overcrowding.
: On the question of overcrowding the
; Jitneys, Mayor Albee declared that the
' machines, except the large buses, should
; be prohibited from carrying more than
; the seating capacity. "The dealers all
i agree that the overloading of the small
cars Is dangerous," said the Mayor.
"The Jitney drivers will overcrowd aa
: long as they are not prohibited from so
doing. The other day I saw 13 persons
, crowded into a small Ford in the jitney
r eervlce."
Commissioner Brewster contended that
'. It is not fair to persons petting into
the machine first to have others crowd
into their laps later.
L. M. Lepper Introduced himself as
; "one of the streetcar strap-hangers,
and made a point that the Jitney has
: done away with strap-hanging.
Seating: 'aplrtty Basis for License.
: The Council decided to require the
Jitneys in applying for a license to des
'. lanate their seating capacity. Carry
' ing of more passengers than the ca
pacity designated will be prohibited.
The question of license fee also
' stirred up a controversy. Commissioner
; Daly wanted a fee of $2 or S3 a month
for the lltle cars and J10 a month for
; the larger machines. Commissioner
f Dleck urged the license fee on the basis
: of seating capacity. The Council de-
cided upon a rate of $3 a month as a
; minimum for all cars and 25 cents a
: month additional fof each seat in a
car over seven seats.
It was decided that Inspection should
; be required. A provision will be placed
in the measure prohibiting the use of
; a machine not in proper mechanical
: condition. This will force the drivers
'. to have their cars !n good shape, be
j cause the city will have the right of
Inspection at any time and may arrest
a driver if his machine is defective to
such an extent as to be dangerous or
; unsafe.
; Routine la Dealgnated.
It was decided by a majority of the
; Council to force the Jitneys to keep
; off of Washington and Morrison streets
: in the West Side business district. They
; will be forced to operate on Yamhill,
I Alder and Stark streets instead.
I Municipal Traffic Engineer Klrkpat
j rick reported that because of the jit
'. neys there has been an Increase of 236
i per cent in traffic at Fifth and Wash
' lnrcton streets and large increases on
: other streets. H. P. Coffin, chairman of
; the safety first commission, declared
. the taking of the Jitneys from Wash
t ington and Morrison streets Is Impera
. tive for the relief of congestion.
J J. Page, attorney representing some
" of the Jitneys objected to a proposal to
.' limit the jitneys to a 5 cent fare. He
! said the Jitney should be permitted to
go off its route to make delivery of
passengers to their homes and should
' be permitted to exact all additional fee
-for this service. Mr. Page also ob
jected to the jitneys being forced to
have their routes painted on the ma
; chine ami to a provision of the ordl
: nance providing for the suspension of
; a jitney driver for a year In the event
! he Is convicted of any incompetency In
' driving or any wilful violation of law.
; The Council did not change these pro
; visions.
The question of forcing the Jitneys to
furnish bonds to protect the public in
; case of accident was discussed, but no
" conclusion was reached.
; It was decided that the Jitneys, for
'. the relief of traffic congestion and
i for safety, should stop to take on pas
i f.engers on the near side of street
crownings. It was decided also that the
! ears should stop before crossing train
' tracks.. At the conclusion of the hear
' ing tho ordinance, aa changed y the

Daly for redrafting.

Indorse Project and Eack
Effort to Awake Aid.
15,000 NAMES ARE SOUGHT
Petitions to Be Placed la Kvcry
Large Building and Voters Asked
to Help Obtain Special Elec
tion for Good Highways.
Following the unanimous indorse
ment at noon yesterday by the board
of governors of the Portland Commer
cial Club of the proposed bond issue
of Jl, 250.000 for -the hard-surfacing of
trunk roads in Multnomah County,
plana Immediately were formulated for
carrying on a whirlwind campaign for
circulating petitions for the bond is
sue and for stimulating general in
terest in the good roads movement
A committee was appointed to direct
the work of obtaining signatures to the
petition and to conduct the campaign
for a special election as follows:- John
B. Yeon. chairman: J. C. Alnsworth,
Julius L Meier, E. E. Coovert, Frank
B. Riley. W. U Boise. Phil Metschan,
Jr., George L. Baker and A. S. Benson.
Many Work for Bond Issue.
The committee met in the offices of
E. E. Coovert in the Yeon building
and organized for the campaign. Other
good roads enthusiasts attended the
committee meeting. It was one of the
most enthusiastic gatherings of the
kind held in Portland in many days
and when it adjourned there were
scores of citizens at work boostin
for the bond issue. Every large em
ployer of labor and every organiza
tion that it was possible to get in
touch with by telephone gave the com
mittee hearty assurances of co-opera
tion in the movement.
Several hundred copies of the petl
tion were on hand when the meeting
convened, hut before adjournment pro
vision for placing the most of them had
been made.
Petitions fo Be Accessible.
The headquarters of the committee
on the ground floor of the Yeon build
ing will be the main place to sign the
petition. It was decided to post copies
in many prominent places, including
the Imperial, Benson and Oregon
hotels, business offices of the daily
newspapers. Meier & Frank, Olds,
uortman & King and Lipman. Wolfe
Co. department stores, Y. M.' C. A.,
City Hall, Courthouse, Commercial Club
and Multnomah Club. Other places will
be designated today
Every civic body, community club
and women s organization will be urged
to obtain a copy of the petition . and
work for signers. It is planned to
make the campaign so broad that every
registered voter may have an opportu
nity to affix his signature.
15,000 Names Sought
Although only 2500 names on the pe
tition are required before submitting
It to the Board of County Commission
ers. It is the plan of the commitee to
procure at least 15.000 signatures. It
is expected to have that number of
signatures by noon Monday. March 15.
As soon as the campaign for signa
tures closes the petition will be sub
mitted to the County Commissioners.
Assuming that the petition will be
granted without delay, the committee
will begin preparations for the special
election, which probably will be held
In the first week of April.
The full text of the petition is as
follows:
To the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners of Multnomah County,

ton." Chairman Yeon. who is also county
roadmaster, appeared before the County
Commissioners yesterday ana recom
mended that the main county roads to
h. naved should be officially named.
as they appear In the petition. Detailed
figures on the cost of improving each
highway will be announced in afew
days.
HOTELS URGED TO ACT
COMPLETION OK SCENIC ROADS TO
ATTRACT TOURISTS ASKED,
County Commissioner Holman In Let
ter to Head of Fortland Bonifaces
Requests Co-Operation.
Corrnletion of Improvements on Mult-
nmih County highways in time for the
early Summer tourist travel is strong
ly urged In a letter which County Com
missioner Holman has written to Presi
dent Metschan, Jr., of the Hotel Men's
Association. '
Mr. Holman argues mat it win De a
great benefit to the hotels, as well as
to other classes of business, to have
the highways paved In time to take
the Summer visitors on sight-seeing
expeditions out of the city. The letter
probably will be presented to several
commercial organizations in Portland
in an endeavor to enlist their support.
The letter follows:
On the 13th day of next July and for at
least two days thereafter, but probably
longer, the Imperial Council of the Mystic
Shrine meets in Seattle. It Is estimated
that this meeting will take at least 20.000
people to that city, who after the adjourn
ment will go south to the Panama-Pacific
and San Diego fairs In California. Most of
them will probably stop en route (If my in
formation is correct) all of six hours In
PortlanJ.
Under former conditions, although 20,000
people could be entertained to their ad
vantage and pleasure In Seattle, for several
days, and an unlimited time in California,
six hours was ample time for them to -ee
ROAD
the wonders of the menagerie In the City
Park, the magnitude of our Postoffice, build
ing, and tho beauties of Skidmore"s foun
tain, but durlns the past year Multnomah
County has constructed under the immediate
supervision of J. B. Yeon, roadmaster, the
greatest highway the world has even seen,
and any tourust coming to the West who
is permitted to pass through Portland with
out seeing and enjoying the beauties of the
Columbia River Gorge is going to be greatly
disappointed when he learns what he has
missed.
I believe we owe it to these people to see
that someone is sent to Seattle and steps
taken to correct their present routings, so as
to permit of at least two days" stay In
Portland. Inasmuch as each tourist spends
at least flo a day while traveling It Is worth
$200,000 a day to the hotel men. merchants
and farmers of this community to make an
effort to entertain these Shrlners more than
rtlr hours.
With the support of the people of this
community tho road department of Mult
nomah County can complete the Columbia
River Highway to Cascade Locks, properly
grade and redress the Sky Line boulevard
and Cornelius Pass road from Portland
Heights to Holbrook on the Linnton road,
pave the main arterial highways of the
rmmtv and nut in first-class condition a
road on each side of the Willamette River
to Oregon City (with the co-operation oi
the Clackamas County Court), by July 1
of this year, and thereby make it worth
while for any tourist to spend two or three
days at least In Portland.
Now I have cited to you only one con
vention that Is coming to the Coast, whereas
In fact I understand there are more than
200" conventions to be held In the West this
year, and there Is no reason why all Sum
mer long our city cannot be crowded with
visitors. But we must have something to
attract them here, therefore Is this not of
sufficient Importance for your association to
take tho initiative and to do all those things
necessary to see that by July 1 of this year
we are properly prepared to entertain this
great multitude of tourists?
I believe that your co-operation In this
matter will result in less vacant stores and
a cash market for our country produce.

116,500 Feet Exports to China
and Japan Take Big Drop
as Result of War.
Though Fortland loaded only a part
cargo aboard the Jananese steamer
Senju Maru. which took on hay and
other commodities at San Francisco for
Manila and Hongkong, the flour and
lumber worked here is valued at more
than $150,000. The steamer was cleared
yesterday. All of the flour is destined
for Hongkong and amounts to 27.000
barrels, worth $184,500. There is a ship
ment of 116,500 feet of lumber, made up
of dressed and rough material billed to
Yokohama, at a value of $2200. In ad
dition, a shipment of 21 boxes of per
sonal effects goes to the latter harbor
that is aopraised at $500.
Mitsuit & Co., which dispatched the
vessel, also has the steamers Azumu.an
Maru. now on Fuget Sound, and the
Kongosan Maru, on the way from the
Far Kast for San Francisco. The Azu

conditions have placed a quietus
on the heavy shipment of flour to China
and Japan, yet the movement has not
absolutely ceased, buying having been
on a smaller scale than in past years
and spasmodic. For eight months of
tho 1914-1915 season. Oriental exports
have been 101.423 barrels, as against
597.374 barrels for the same period last
season, but in the total showing there
is not such a great difference, as all
shipments from Portland were 622. 2d
barrels, while-a year ago they were
899.309 barrels.
California is buying heavier than be
fore and up to March 1 there had been
355.982 barrels sent there as against
299.289 barrels a year ago. This sea
son. 11,430 barrels Have moved to South
Africa and 11.234 barrels to New YorK
to which ports no flour was diverted
during the 1913-14 season.
European exports were 142,186 barrels
and a year ago were only 1145 barrels.
From Puget Sound more has been
shipped to California and Kurope and
new business has been obtained in
South Africa and New York, yet "that
district was behind March 1 as com
pared with the previous season, approx
imately 439.363 barrels.
There will be a considerable amount
of flour to go forward on the Japanese
steamer Kenkon Maru, which Balfour,
Guthrie & Co. are loading for the Unit
ed Kingdom, while another shipment of
nearly 2000 tons goes out on the ltoyal
Mail liner Glengyle next week.

SUBMERGED PIPE LIXK PARTS
Fill Being Made at Astoria Tempo
rarily Delayed by Mishap.
That a submerged pipeline used in
DumDins' sand with the Port of Portland
dredge Columbia, behind a seawall at
Astoria, had pulled apart at. a point
about 200 feet riverward from the crib
bing, was information received yester
day by Captain H. T. Groves, euperln-
'tetndent of the Port of Portland dredg
ing department. A diver examined the
break in the line, and an attempt will
bo made at low water today to repair it.
One difficulty is said to bo the fact
the outer end of the pipeline Is filled
with sand. If that can be pumped out
when the break is repaired there should
bo no further trouble. The Columbia
IS working on the first unit of the Im
provement, which Is being directed by
the Standard American Dredging Com
pany, and the machine is simply under
lease to tho corporation. That part of
the project should be finished thlj
month, and whether tho Columbia will
be leased for the second unit is to be
decided by the Port of Portland Cora
mlslson. The pipeline extends from be
yond the main channel to ehoro and
rests on the river bed.
