-"Why ara you ao courteous to th

the council yesterday afternoon. -. .
"Because I am looking after the In

Councilman Vaughn's ordinance revok
ing the franchise of the Southern Pa
clflo on" Fourth street within six months
after the enactment of the law waa met
by a counter resolution, presented by
Councilman Baker. , Baker wanted to
rive the company two years .time in
which to change the power on Fourth
atreet from steam to electric Within
two year the company would have the
locomotives and heavy " freight would
"he carried' Into Portland over Jh east

for the Southern Pacific, s,
"If you put In an electric Una within
H months we will be satisfied." said

;That promise has been made before,
Fenton. ;. "If w give you two yeara in
which to change your power you will,
at the expiration of that time, ask for
- an extension of a net her year. ; I am
willing, aa an attorney tor property-
owners, to give you the right. If the

- however, I believe you should place
those trolley wires -underground." .
"Before we can build the bridge at

Judge Fenton aald that when yt he

over the east- side tracks. , Bo far aa
th Fourth atreet franchise waa con
cerned, th company would not give it
up. .The ctty eouncll could compel the
company to electrify the line only by
ordinance, and no ordinance had been
passed.- ... i :

"Judge Fenton apparently thinks his
oorapany ought to get damages because
the -people want a change of motive
power on . Fourth atreet," remarked
Bloom. "I believe w will have to give
them it We had better give It the
right to operate a double-track electric
railway on Fourth street than to get i
Into litigation, hare the ease before the i
United Btattea supreme court for four
or five years, and the locomotives run
ning on the street, day and night, U
that time." ' .
vTh4t part of it seems to be very
good," said Mr. Vaughn. "But don"t
you know that shippers have complained
of their inability to get carsT" he
abruptly asked of Judge Fenton. '
' "There was nothing to that." anawer
ed Judge Fenton. - Th talk of the
shippers waa all boah." -
"Then how about the ears? - Did the

"We are not unloading freight In

Vaughn. "Now, every man and woman
would Ilk to se an electrlo line up
Fourth street It would up th sub
orbs, and It would build up a new
section of th county." V ,
Under th Vaughn ordinance. aald
Chairman Booth, who had not apoken
during the meeting, . "the council la
given the power to revoke the franohlse.
I differ from him. I believe th city
has th right to regulate th running
of train by day and night. Th com
pany haa held a franchise for 40 years,
and has done Its part In th repairing
of streets ovef which it lines run. It
franchise must be revoked by th right
of eminent domain. - w can fore It to
take its englnee off Fourth atreet. but
w cannot prevent It from electrifying
the road and hauling frelahf .3 .
"D yon mean that It must take off
me engines, nut that It may haul
freight until the crack of doomT" de
manded Vaughn. - -i
Chairman Booth left th matter to
the petitioners. Judge 8 week aald th
people wanted both th engines and th
freight cars eliminated. Heavy freight
care are especially objectionable. . Mr.
Blum said that if th road were electri
fied within twe year hla clients would
make no objection to tha operation of
the Fourth street line during that pe
riod. If there should be any trouble
wlth'th Oswego bridge, he would not
have any objection: to: lb operation of
locomotive on Fourth street until re
pairs war made. ,
"I fell th same way," aald Baker.
-. "W1U you pledge yourself to vote
to get th a team line off Fourth atreet
within two yearar asked Vaughn In hla
abrupt way, .:.. . . f
"I will" said Baker. ' . .. M
Then shake on it " said Vaughn, and
the two - councilman who had been at
dagger ' point ever sine they met
reached across th table and cerdlally
anooR nana. . '
Then the eoramltte Instructed the
city attorney to draft an ordinance to
compel the Southern Pacific to cease
the operation of locomotives on Fourth
street within two years. Th ordinance
la to be presented at the special meet
Ing of th council Wsdnsday after
