JOKER FOUND IN
THE AMENDMENT
For the Benefit Solely of the
Portland Consolidated
Railway.
WOULD BAR ALL OTHERS
If Voted for by a Majority or the
.Electors Corporation Could
Have Blanket Franchises
on New Streets.
Should the street-car amendment to
the city charter not be rejected by the
voters of the city In the electlqn next
week, opportunity will be given the
Portland Consolidated Railway Com
pany to secure exclusive use of mora . A
,tt. .J . .If . .1. - A I.- ""
new charter power of compelling taat
company to allow Joint usu . o new
tracks to other companies.
Whereby hangs suspicion of graft Ty
the street car company: at least of an
amendment gotten up In the Interest
of the Consolidated Company, which
holds a Street-car monnnolv in th
business districts of the city, wherein
the municipality may desire to admit
competing companies In the future.
Effect of Amendment.
The Council has no power to com
pel joint use of tracks under the blan
ket franchises which were granted be
fore the present charter went Into ef
fect, but It has that power over' fran
chises granted since that time. In
downtown streets, where it is neces
sary for a competing company to gain
access, the Council cannot compel the
Consolidated Company to yield the use
of Its old tracks to such a competitor.
because the Consolidated Company
holds franchises to those tracks under
the terras of the old charter. Nor will
It have the charter power to compel
Joint use of the Consolidated Com
pany's new tracks, If the proposed
amendment should be enacted by the
people's votes.
The new charter says: "The Council of
the City of Portland shall have at all
times power ... to compel the owners
of two or more such roads fear lines)
using or having the right to use the same
streets, bridges or elevated rpadways. for
any distance not exceeding five- blocks
over said stretJL and over the entire length
of bridges and elevated roadways; to-use .
the same tracks and to dlvitfe tfee.aMt-ef
construction and the cost of majHtaaanoa
thereof equitably between them.'
Terms of the Joker.
The old charter contained no such pro
vision, nor do the blanket .franchises of
the Consolidated Company, which will ex
pire December 31, 1932.
The proposed amendment would give
the street-car company opportunity to
acquire franchises on new streets with
out the restriction imposed by the present,
charter, for at the tail end of the pro
posed amendment Is a clause which has
escaped notice of nearly every person
who has read It, and which appears to
be "loaded" for the benefit of the Con
solidated Street Railway Company, towlt:
"Provided further, that the franchise or
franchises under which such person or
corporation Is operating such lines of rail
way so to be connected, shall in all re
spects be deemed embodied In and an In
tegral part of such grant, as though ex
pressly embodied in and made an integral
part of the ordinance granting such
rights."
This means that the franchises to be
granted under the amendment shall be
granted on the same terms as the blan
ket franchises; or at least that the Coun
cil shall have authority to grant new
franchises on those terms, despite the
present restrictions of the charter.
Bars All Competitors.
Competitors of the Consolidated Rail
way Company need access to the business
district of the West Side. But In that
direction the Consolidated Company now
occupies nearly all the streets. And be
cause of the narrowness of the streets,
that company owns franchises which ara
practically exclusive. First street Is In
Joint use with the Oregon Water Power 8
Railway Company. But Second, Third
and Fifth streets are In control of the
Consolidated Company, and Fourth Is oc
cupied by the Southern Pacific. There
fore the principal streets running north
and south through the heart of the city
are closed to competition; likewise Mor
rison and Washington .streets, whereon
the Consolidated Company runs its cars.
A franchise on Stark street has been
granted for the Hlllsboro line, but It Is
riot exclusive, like the franchises of the
Consolidated Company.
Consequently, the only street that runs
Into the center of the city which Is open
to a competitive company Is Alder, and
should the proposed amendment be en
acted, and the authority of the Council to
compel joint use of car tracks repealed,
the Consolidated Company would have
opportunity to monopllze that street
also, and that by building a track not
along Its entire length but only for one
or two blocks.
The amendment wa proposed in tha
Charter Board meeting last November by
J. N, Teal, who explained that It had
been Included in the first draft of the--charter,
but had been accidentally left
out of the finished product. His"" testi
mony was corroborated by A. L. Mills,
president of the Charter Board, president
of the Consolidated Railroad Company
and afterward Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the Oregon Legisla
ture. The amendment was recommended
to the Multnomah delegation In the Leg--lslature
for enactment and was- fathered
at Salem by Speaker Mills.
Poatofnce Is Moved.
The work of movnlg the postofnee was
a quicker If not an easier job than, was
anticipated by the officials who bad it- ki
charge. Testerday morning, the malHng ,
department was taken out and placed 'la
the new building early In the day: .Im
mediately following the registry depart-.
ment was-, moved, and,, once placed in the
new quarters, began work as thong
nothing had happened to etattirb th
course of business. Following that dt- n
vlsioH, the general delivery and tke car- Jrv
rlera division were moved, all of Uw
trassferefece being done before the &-'
die of the' afternoon. ,.J
