DAY.
Members of City Council Present
When Cotirt Action Is Indicated
If Impending Ordinance
Is Tnsatisfactory.
A (croup of Portland business men of
more or leas prominence packed the
sruest dininir-room of the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday afternoon to hear
C. M. Clark, chairman of the board of
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
Company, explain in intimate detail the
troubles, physical and financial, that
now beset that corporation.
The physical troubles consist of a
variety of difficulties, principal among
which is the jitney "nuisance," as he
called It.
The financial problem consists In the
threatened Inability to meet $5,500,000
In short-term notes due next May.
But so far as the money is concerned.
Mr. Clark agreed to do the worrying
in that particular. What he wanted his
Portland hearers to get through their
heads, though, was that the company
will be unable to continue solvent if
the jitney menace is tolerated, without
restrictions or regulation.
Four of the five members of the City
Council were present. Mayor Albee was
absent.
I.ecitl Fltcht Indicated.
Mr. Clark made it plain to every man
In the room that the company will pro
test, will go to court, if necessary,
against any unfair discrimination
against' the company In favor of the
Jitney.'
If the jitney is permitted to operate
without a bond or without a franchise,
the company wants the same privileges.
If the company is required to give
transfers, the jitneys should be re
quired to give transfers. Indeed. Mr.
Clark declared, if the jitneys are given
a franchise, as proposed, without the
transfer requirement, his company will
make immediate application for a can
cellation of that provision in its present
franchise.
"And you can appreciate what that
means," he continued, "when you stop
and think that 40 per cent of our pas
sengers use transfers, passen
gers will have to pay 10 ents where
they pay now only 5 cents.
Equal Term Demanded.
In every particular, he asserted, the
two competing transportation systems
ehould be placed on equal terms. He
euggested, even, that the jitneys be re
quired to pay their just share of the
pavements on the streets over which
they operate. The company has to pay
for the pavement between its rails and
for a short distance on either side.
'Unless the investing . world knows
and understands that It is to have fair
rlay and justice in this town you will
have a hard time getting capital to aid
In your future development," ho de
clared. "Portland Is gaining a bad reputation
for the disregard that it displays to
ward Its invested capital. You gentle
men can do much to relieve this situa
tion and restore the good name of the
city."
Mr. Clark was heard by a sympathetic
audience, and a committee was ap
pointed to confer with the City Council
on the best means of conserving the
rightful interests of the street railway
company without depriving the Jitneys
of whatever privileges they are entitled
to. This committee consists of C. "W.
Hodson, J. Dannels. S. C. Pier, F. E.
Taylor. W. F. Woodward. J. P. Jaeger,
N. G. Pike and W. D. Whitcomb.
Jitney Hearing Is Set.
Mr. Clark's address precip'itated "a
running discussion that brought out
a variety of ideas on the Jitney ques
tion. Arthur I. Moulton, attorney for
the jitney interests, insisted that his
side of the case should be heard be
fore the business men of Portland pro
ceeded to any organized action, so the
meeting decided to hear the jitney men's
argument next Monday, at the regular
weekly luncheon.
Through all the adversity with
which the company now seems to be
confronted, Mr. Clark entertains a
hopeful view of the futre. He pre
dicted, optimistically, that Portland is
to grow and that the dreams that were
dreamed by the city builders and the
real estate agents here a few years
ago are yet to be realized.
He pointed out that for a period of
years, from 190a to 1912, the earnings
of his company were highly satisiac
tory. and that only in the last four
years have they been unremunerati ve
of the capital invested. The Invasion
of he light and power field by the
Northwestern Electric Company cut into
the revenues frightfully, but he didn't
complain about that because, he said,
the franchise of that company was
fairly drawn and fairly granted. It
doesn't produce unnatural competition.
he said.
But he criticised the people of Port
land frankly for their failure to regu
late the Jitney. He advanced the idea
that the popular form of government
enjoyed by the people of this state had
something to do with it.
He commended the law, in vogue in
Wisconsin and other progressive states,
requiring & certificate of public neces
city before a competing company can
enter into a field already served by a
public utility enterprise.
Most of the crowd seemed to agree
with him on those points.
