1,000,000 Bounds
for aiding the establishment of regular steamship lines out of Portland.
The last session of the Oregon State Legislature passed a law authorizing
certain activities toward this end and set forth the manner of financing
same. The voters of Portland and Multnomah County will, by voting in
favor of this bond issue, place in the hands of the Port of Portland Com
mission a most powerful magnet for attracting, and assisting to establish
permanently, steamship lines to this port.

Well.
as does that of the entire state and territory tributary thereto. . This
future will be more definitely ' assured if you, a qualified voter with faith
in this future, vote for the $1,000,000 Port of Portland Bond Issue at
the Port of Portland Special Election next Tuesday, June 3, 1919.
Portland Has a Deepwater Channel to the Sea
Her Needs Now Are the Ships
To get them we must provide cargoes and guaran
tee the ships against delays in the river. We must
equalize port charges here with port charges else
where, so that ships here will not be required to
pay more for fuel, towage, pilotage, etc, than they
do in other Pacific coast ports. But, above all,
we must assemble cargoes here. The ships come
where cargoes await them.
If the $1,000,000 bond issue is voted, the money is
to be used by tHe Port of Portland commission for
the following purposes:
Contracting with steamship lines that a certain
amount of their cargo space will be taken by
Portland if they come here; establishing a traffic
bureau to assemble cargo here, so that the con
tract agreement and guarantee be made good;
guaranteeing steamship lines against loss from
delays in the river; equalizing other port charges
as stated in opposite paragraph.
None of this money will be spent unless, in tHe judgment of the Port of Portland commission, it is
necessary to do so. If it becomes necessary, then it will be handled with the same care that the mem
bers of the Port of Portland commission devote to their own private business.
The activities of the Port of
Portland Commission are apart
from those of the Commission of
Public Docks. This statement is
made merely to dispel the impres
sion that the $5,000,000 bond issue
voted to the latter commission last
fall is available for the activities of
the Port of Portland Commission.
The Port of Portland Commission Recommends the Voting of
This $1,000,000 Bond Issue.
