The conference lasted until nearly G
o'clock. The ordinance drawn up by the
railway company, which covers some -8
or 3u pages of type writing, was taken up
and read by sections.

Mottd. ..cyeil'uc, ..w of the principal
points at issue Is over 'paving and inain

Another point tit difference is the amount
the eompnny shall be nsscssed In the con
struction and maintenance of elevated
roadways occupied by the company. The
city, in the ordinance submitted by the
railway people, required theju to pay one
half of the cost of the substructures and
all of the covering used by them. The
company considers this excessive and asks
that It be required to pay for only one
quarter of the substructure. This matter
was considered quite fully, but no agree?
meat was reached.
The matter of compensation was not
takei; up.
The ordinance is being guarded with the
Utmost secrecy and thn&c who have a copy
absolutely refuse to show it. Another
meeting will be held Monday evening to
further Consider, the subject.

both sides before presenting one in the
council."
The mayor has not yet signed the Ford
street ordinance granting a franchise to
the Portland Hallway Company, and lias
given no intimation as to whether he
will or not. It is not being held as a
elt over the company to compel It to
accept a blanket franchi.se. but If the
latter should be passed it would annul
the Ford street franchise.
