LOKRANTZ IS SPEAKER Progressive Business Men's Club Also Hears Attorney Moulton on Jitney Franchise Body Is Against Discrimination. Edison October Week 16-21 1 'f 4-;l C AML Mill 1 1 Closer trade relationship with Sweden Was the plea of John Lokrantz, man aging director of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce, in an ad dress yesterday before the Progressive Men's Club at the Benson Hotel, fol lowing' an introduction by the chair man of the day, Joseph F. Riesch. Mr. Lokrantz went into detail in re tard to the industries and commerce of Sweden and showed by facts and figures what co-operation would mean to the United States in its trade with Scandinavia. Attorney Censures Club. Previous to the address of Mr. Lok rantz. the club gave Arthur I. Moulton, attorney for the chauffeur's union, 15 minutes in which to place before the young- business men the benefits and advantages of the-jitney, the talk be ing a reply to the address of C. M. Clark, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, before the same organization the week before on the Jitney problem and what it meant to Portland and the street railway. Mr. Moulton attacked the club for permitting Mr. Clark to address them on this vital civic topic with members of. the City Commission present, and the club immediately adopted the fol lowing resolution, presented by F. T. Richards, of the clubs' better Portland committee: Parity With Streetcars Trsred. Whereas, The best Interests of the entire population of Portland demand adequate street railway and passenger service for all the people and all sections of the city, to eether with full protection of life and limb of passengers while being carried by such services; and, "U'hereas. A parity of rates, service and protection Is the only method whereby these ends may be accomplished and Jus tice done all competlng-llnes of service: therefore b It Resolved, That the Pregressive Business Men's. Club go on record as favoring such regulation of street railway service and Jitney service in the city of Portland to the enj that neither of such classes of servlca is favored one above the other and thiit the so-called "Jitney" render the same service, protection to passengers and pay taxes and franchise charges in Just proportion as compared with such payments exacted from .the electric railway systems of the city; and be It further Resolved. That a committee of three be appointed to wait upon the Council of the city of Portland and express the views of this club as embodied in this resolution, s Commissioners Dieck, Daly. Baker and Bleglow were the guests of the club again yesterday. BUDGET $4500 LOWER TOTAL, REDUCTIONS MADE REACH SSUS.OOO FOR ALL BCREAtTS. Council Refuses to Allow K1050 for Snow Plows Mr. Daly Wants and - Questions Xeed of Inspector. Cuts aggregating $4300 from the trudget estimates of next year was the net result of an all-day session of the City Council yesterday sitting as budget committee. This brings the total cuts to date up to about 1265.000. , The " cuts yesterday were In the Health Bureau, under Mayor Albee, and street-cleaning budget, under Mr. Daly. Street cleaning was taken up in the afternoon, while the' morning session was devoted to the health budget. The health budget was cut about J2150, and the street cleaning about $2350. The Items in both bureaus were small. In the street cleaning bureau the cuts were for supplies and materials. The question of street lighting was allowed to stand as Commissioner Daly submitted It. $203, Q00. This provides for no new arc lights next year. It was shown that lighting during 1916 has not cost the full amount because the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, which holds the lighting con tract, lost about $8800 as a result of lights being out for two or three weeks during the silver thaw of last Winter. Mr. Daly has asked for an appropria tion for salary of a new mechanic to inspect auto trucks used in the j.treet cleaning service. His work virtually would be that of inspector. The Council held this in abeyance pending inves tigation of the need. It was decided to allow an item of $6500 for the pur chase of a machine for the cleaning of catchbasins. Mr. Daly failed to Include in his budget an estimate of $1050 for snow plows, which he says the street cleaning bureau needs. The Council refused to allow this over Mr. Daly's vote for it. At the budget session yesterday morning the Council eliminated a total of $2172. the most of which was in the Health Bureau. The cuts included $172 in general supplies, $100 for meals for patients in the emergency hospital. $400 for ambulance service, $1000 for salaries for two proposed additional school inspectors, $150 for the annual fly campaign, $50 for the Oregon Hu mane Society and $300 traveling ex '. penses for the Public Safety Commis sion.
