Tha Utla of tha 1 act granting tha franchlaa does not ooa- form .with tha act Itself. - Tha company operating under a license, not under a franchlaa. , Mr. Vaughn had been called upon by .'.

It seems to be lmpoe ' slble . to- get the company to make any definite promise aa ta tha electrifying of the road. However, we are satisfied to Ova it chance to electrify tha road within 11 months from tha present . time.'' ' . . r 'That ia satisfactory to me," aaid Mr. Vaughn. "I wanted tha motive power ' changed, within six months, but, II months suits ma." - ' I'm glad ,'ypu- re satisfied." said Boothe. "I am afraid ihat if wa foroed the 'oompany to change Its power with in six months wa would have a damage . ; suit on our hand The company, com , palled to tear up Its tracks and unable , . to get material for Its city lines, might ' unload its freight at tho boundaries of the city and then sue tha city for dam- aiee." . - ;.. , : - "Do' you .really think so," .asked ; Vaughn. .

"The lead ' Ing lawyers, including 1 Judge Fenton, J, general counsel for the Southern Paclfto ; In Oregon, say the company has no fran chise. Fenton has been before, ue and ' '. ha baa made soma' brief speeches that had as much reference to the ordinance aa they had to tha Lord's prayer." Chairman Booths believed the mayor should appoint. a -committee of oompe ' tent engineers to Investigate tha matter and report to the council. He found a . warm second In Councilman George I ' Baker.. Mr. Baker said ha wished to do ' right with : both jthe company and his j constituents, ' and he believed tha com pan jr should, after the investigation, be glveh two years" , : time in which to change tho motive power. waogha Orowe Saroaatto. -' "Tha eompany has ' had 10 months' time in which to order rails," sarcas tically remarked Vaughn. "The ordi nance was stuck In the pigeon, bole for 11 months and it took ma 10 montha to get it out and before the committee.'' "It's before us - now." said Baker. "The Fourth-atreet trouble must be reg ulated by us; If not by us, by some one else. I am new ia the council and Ilka our chairman I am not clear on th sub-, Ject and do not care to act hastily. Pe titioner for the revocation of the fran chise are being circulated and I am wil ling to give tha people the relief they ask for. Tha Southern Pacific haa cer tain rights that we must consider;-and I don't want to throw the city into a losing lawsuit." ' . . . "I'll not admit that tha southern Fa ciflo haa any franchise." said Vaughn. , "They appear to have something that looks like one,' dryly observed Boothe. "The trains come down Fourth street at the rate of SO mllea an hour." - "And one of their locomotives broke looae snd ran down Fourth street." added Vaughn. ' . 1 ' Baker's Twe Tears Oarriea.. "Well. I don't think we should do anything until we have made an investi gation," said Baker. "The company has promised to leave Fourth' street and bridge the river at Oswego and come In over it East Side lines. If we find that wa have been misled by the eom pany we, can take action.' Wo ahould give tho eompany two years to get per mission from 'the war department for the bridging of tha river, the building of th v bridge and the changing of tha motive power on. tha Fourth-street line.".--. -.. "That sounds very nice." said Vaughn. "You probably don't know that Judge Fenton haa never promised the city that the company will bulk! that bridge. All that bo haa aver aaid to tha council ia that the company hopes to- build it. I'll vote against tha recognition of any rights of . tha company on Fourth street. . ?, .: , - f , Baker moved, and bla motion waa car ried, that tha eompany bo allowed two years in which to make tha ehangea In its tinea. Ha made a second motion that Chairman Boothe and City Attorney McNary draft an ordinance to that af fect and that It be submitted to tha committee at Ita regular meeting Mon day afternoon.
