All points of difference between Uie I City Council and Stephen Carver as to the terms of jitney franchises cov ering routes throughout the city were ettled at a special meeting yesterday, and the two franchises were sent to the City Auditor for retyping prior to their being sent up for official adver tising on Friday. The main question at stake yester- dai" Wna that rt o .... . V. , . .. V. . " . u luuic UUl LIHUUgll i the district coursed by Twenty-third I treei. air. carver applied for jitney rights on Twenty-third street but the Council, in keeping with its policy of forcing iitnev st-rvli-p nff strata , pied by trolley lines, refused to grant this route. Mr. Carver agreed to start his route at Fourth and Alder streets and run west on Alder to Washington, to Twentieth, to Northrup, to Twenty firist, to Thurman. to Twenty-third, to Vaughn. Bonds Are Defined. The question of a bond for the pro tection of the public m case of acci dent was settled by Mr. Carver agree ing to provide a bond of $7500 cover ing all routes on the West Side. Mr. Carver had considered a bond of $5000 sufficient, but tho Council thought it (should be higher. Commissioner Bige 3ow said that In face of the Jitney acci dent on Washfntnn ctroot ...,.,.... he believed bonds on which injured persoi s might recover should be made ncri. ne ravored a bond of $15,000 overlntr one Fast KfH unH tf, nn West Side franchise, but finally agreed on me itio Bond for the West Side. This makes a total of $27,500 bonds Which Mr. Carver will furnish for pro tection in rase rtf .-. r . : W . . 1 1 r Tn tlon to this he will furnish a bond of ..-.i"" to guarantee establishment of nis service as called for in the fran chises and perpetuation for at least six months. Portland Railway, Light & Power Company representatives appeared be fore the Council and objected to some oi me routes in the Carver franchises because of their lapping on streetcar lines for short distances. Objection also was raised to the low compensa tion exacted by the city for the fran chises. Vice-President F. I. Fuller, of the company, said the Portland Rail way, Light & Power Company pays 20 per cent of Its gross earnings as taxes in one form or another. He said the new form of transportation should be Placed on a basis comparable with the street railway company. Service Considered Trial. The Council argued that the new bus service is in the form of an experi ment and should be allowed to start under reasonably favorable conditions for the sake of encouraging it. As the Carver franchises stand now they cover about 30 miles in the city and course the principal districts, serv ing new territory to a large extent. They call for an exchange of transfers from one line to another on a 5-cent fare and call for a scheduled service between 6 A. M. and 11 P. M. over all routes. In addition to these features the routes extend to the suburbs, in cluding Lents. CHILD FUNERAL TODAY WIDOW OF PROMINENT PHYSICIAN OK THREE DECADES PASSES.
