TIIE MORXIXG OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, DECE3IBER 1G. 1916. .0 ZONE ADOPTION IS DELAYED FEW DAYS Time Taken to Permit of Ex amination of Districts by Mr. Bigelow. THIELKE CALLED TO TIME Commissioners Declare Themselves Tired of Constant Insinuations ' About Good Faitlt and Insist Upon Common Courtesies. To give City Commissioner Bigrelow time to make a study of the taxicab lone problem the Council yesterday de ferred for a few days the adoption of a zone system worked out by the Coun cil Wednesday to replace a zone scheme which Commissioner Daly, as Commis sioner of ' the Department of Public Utilities, adopted to enable jitneys to operate as taxlcabs and thereby evade regulations insisted on by the Council. The Council's zone system is based on distances and grades, with the funda mental principle of irlvinsr equal tax icab ra'tes to every part of the city on a basis of mileage and grades encoun tered from the business district to the point of delivery. The plan was agree-, able to three of the five members. of the Council. Commissioner Bigelow wanted a little time to think It over and this was granted. Daly System Demanded. President Thielke. of the Jitney Drivers' Union, insisted that the Coun cil should map out zones on a basis similar to those worked out by Com missioner Daly, mapping the city off in three-block squares. "The only purpose you have In such a request." said Mayor Albee. "Is to enable you to continue your jitney service as it operates at present In spite of the fact that four out of live mem bers of this Council have gone on record against the service unless you ajet it on a dependable franchise basis. Personally I will not consider it. How ever. I will abide by the will of a ma jority of the Council in that. I believe in majority rule." Mr. Thielke began his usual line of Insinuations about influence having been brought to bear on the Council. This aroused Commissioner Dieck, who thundered that he would not tolerate such statements any longer. "Look here." he said. "That sort of business has gone far enough. Every time you speak you start making a lot of state ments like that. I won't tolerate it any longer." Mr. Thielke Offends Council. Mr. Thielke said that he meant by his statements that representatives of the Portland Railway. Light & Power Company were in constant attendance at meetings of the Council at which the Jitney subject is considered. "And why do you come here?' de manded Commissioner Baker. "You come because you are representing the Interests of the jitney drivers who be long to your organization. And then you object to somebody else coming to represent their interests. If you had .say $5,000,000 Invested, would you take any interest in matters affecting It?" "I just wish to repeat," said Com missioner Dieck. "that you have gone far enough, Mr. Thielke, with your Imputations." city yesterday from Baker, la regis tered at the Imperial. Charles A.

He said n his complaint that the arrangement was that he was to receive flat pay ment of J3 a day for his services. He maintained there was $98.15 due him. In a counter-claim Shanborn declared that he agreed to and did pay Price 30 per cent of the gross receipts, and that Price really owed him S6.60 that had not been turned in. There was not a great deal of evl dence in the case, and Judge Dayton was quite undecided, until Price had happy thought. He presented the court with receipts for the turn-overs to Shanborn. He admitted that some money due him had been paid. The receipts were carbon copies. On the backs of several were notations in pencil. "Is this your writing?" Judge Day ton asked Price, pointing to the pencil ings. . 'Yes, sir, was the answer. "Cro ahead with the case." said the judge, but though he listened further, it was with a preoccupied air. When the testimony came to a close. Judge Jjayton straightened up In his chair. "No use to argue this case," he said. I've decided it already.

More than 60,000 shares of stock In the Bank of Sympathy had been sold up to last night, according to the lists in the office or secretary tiepnari. the Public Welfare Bureau. This, however, does not represent the complete fund up to date, for the flood of mail and contributions that has rolled In upon the office has been more than they could handle and they are a full day behind in opening the mail and counting the money sent in 1 sympathy stock. Thursday evening a letter was mailed out to the members of all of the clubs In the city and annexed to these was a counter check to be filled out and sent in as a remittance for stock. Twenty-four checks came In the first mail yesterday morning, ranging from SI to J15.

The bid also provides a straight 2 cents kilowatt hour for incanaesceni serv ice. The Northwestern r-iecinu om noTiir anhmitted a higher bid on a flve- year basis. Realizing that a move is 10 do for the establishment of a municipal lighting plant, the Council grantee, tne two-year contract rather than one for five years. On a five-year basis the Portland Railway, Light & Power Com pany bid provided a lower rate tnan for the shorter contract. For several months engineers nave been conducting investigations In the Bull Run water reserve to determine the feasibility of a power plant, air. Daly says a report on this will be ready in detail about February 1. The Dlan will be to put before the voters the question of issuing possibly between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 in bonds for the establishment of the plant. It is figured a distribution sys tem equal to that now belonging to the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company within the city can be estab lished for $800,000. The purpose Is merely to provide current for the lighting of streets and public buildings. Mr. Daly says engi neers have figured that this can be handled so that the city can get much more light for streets at less cost. The cost under present conditions is $200. 000 a year. This, Mr. Daly says, is $125 for each horsepower a year. He says the municipal lighting plant will be able to produce the power for $120 a horsepower a year. MRS. C. B.
