8, THE"' -MORNING OREGOXIAN, FRIDAY, MAT 7, 1920 VOTERS APATHETIC ; TO CARLINE RELIEF Council Members Inclined to Expect Defeat. CAMPAIGN IS NOT LIKELY Railway Officials Do Not Feel Jus tified in Making Drive "Which Is Not City's Function. Members of the city council are In clined to believs that defeat will be the fate of the three relief measures proposed to the voters as an-alternative to an 8-cent street-car fare. Apathy on all sides- followed the reference of the measures to- the voters. Members of the city council feel that it is not the city's function to campaign for the measure. Rail way officials, although interested, do not feel justified in making a cam paign, for it is certain that a fair re turn at least , to cover operating ex penses will be derived somehow, and the general public, the majority of whom ride in street cars, are taking little Interest In the ultimate fate of the measures. Paving Cost Reduction Urged. Passage f the three proposed measures would relieve the street-car company of approximately J500.000 yearly. One measure provides that the trac tion company be relieved of paying a portion of the costs for maintenance, repair or reconstruction of all pave ments along its lines, and should the measure be successful the company would pay only that portion of the costs which is in excess of the cost of paviitg streets in which no street car rails are laid. Another measure provides for the relief of paying for new pavement on the same basis and another measure provides for the relief of paying a portion of the bridge tolls, the free carriage of city employes and cost of using the streets. Present System Held Unfair. It is argued that automobiles and vehicular traffic have the use of the pavement on which street-car tracks are laid and cause much of the wear and -tear on such pavements. It is held by members of the city council that to assess the ordinary costs of such pavement to the street car com--! pany is manifestly unfair and should be corrected. - Members of the council also concede that no city employes should receive free fares, causing a deficit which the peneral street car rider must assume, likewise it Is held that to charge the traction company three cents for each car passing over the bridges, when no loll is charged to vehicular, automo bile or pedestrian travel, is another unfair imposition. Kleetlon Share I Rrdncrd. "The public service commission re quested us to refer the subject to the voters of Portland," said Commis sioner Blgelow, "and'we have done so. I do not feel that we would be jus tified in spending time or money to campaign for the measures, Because the public is certainly well versed on the subject." I?y special arrangement with the county board of commissioners the city will pay only one-fourth of the total election costs instead of one half as heretofore. This is because the city submitted only three meas ures and the state and county sub mitted a dozeir or more. &EATTL.E CARFARE MAY GO UP Conference Called' to Find Remedy for Financial Trouble. SEATTLE, 'Wash., May 6. (Spe cial.) Ways and means of relieving the ginances of its municipal street railway system will be the subject of a conference between Seattle's mayor find the members of the city council Saturday morning.
