MYTH
PORTLAND
Need Does Xot Warrant Expendi
tures . for New Lines or Equip
ment to Run Steam Trains
. OTer Electric Ejrsetm Ralls.
Portland has no transportation prob
lems to solve.
That tact was emphasized yesterday
afternoon by Edward West, engineer
for the bousing, and passenger trans
portation branch of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, who conferred with
members of the committee appointed
some time ago to take charge of that
question.
In comparison with other shipbuild
ing; centers. Portland has excellent
streetcar service, Mr. West declared.
and he will file with Supervisor Went
worth. of the Emergency Fleet Cor
noration. and with the City Council a
formal report setting forth his find-
Ings of conditions here.
Agitators were scored at yesterday's
conference for attempts to create a
critical condition that does not exist.
Members of the committee' took the
position that If the United States Gov
ernment, in whose employ is Mr. West,
finds traffic conditions to be satisfac
tory, it is not becoming for Portland
people to endeavor to stir up dissat
isfaction. '
Mr. West arrived In Portland yester
day from San Francisco to confer
further with the council relative to
streetcar service to and from the ship
yards. On the occasion of his former
vlrit with A- Merritt Taylor. Mr. West
had gone carefully ever the situation,
had visited the shipyards from which
most frequent complaint emanated, and
at that time had pronounced car serv
ice here far superior to that given in
other large cities. Members of the Coun
cil, however, expressed a desire for
further consultation with Mr. West
Municipal Traffic Expert Cousin pre
sented the matter at yesterday's con
ference, advocating the utilization of
equipment already at hand for the op
eration of steam trains, especially on
the St. Johns. Peninsula and possibly
the Vancouver lines, for relieving con
gestion. In the South Portland plants.
Cousins explained, shipyard workers
are refusing to climb the steep hill to
get to the cars, and are. walking down,
town, instead. He advocated operation
of trains on the Southern Pacific tracks
down Jefferson end Fourth streets to
connect with street railway Junction
points.
In reply to this, Mr. West emphatic
ally declared that no critical condition
cxisil anu inui mc only quro viun raistru
along this line has been by agitators.
