Application for Twenty-third Street
Right Is Denied and Route
Changed So as Xot to Con
flict With Streetcars.
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-

. " . 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.
