MAYOR LANE ON FRANCHISES Executive's ; Record Shows That He. Believes tThat "the Peoples' 7 Property Belongs to the People," Which: Is the Reason ; Public Service; Corporations Oppose Him. (From Mayor Lane's Annual Message, January. 1907.) Being strongly imbued with th Idea that th interests of th people of th city at large are of greater importance than are the of th individual, and be ing firmly convinced that such rights or tne city in , respect to grants and franchises and the us of and vaca tion of streets and other publio prop erty or this city have not received the consideration at th hands of this city's representatives to which they are enti tled, I take this opportunity to again protest against the scant consideration which has been given to this important subject, , . j i . i i v i , " Rights and grants, wholesale and-retail, have been parted with without any reservations, - either mental or other wise, being made, so. far as I can ascer tain, cr any consideration to the value of a "aou-markee" being required In lieu Of th same la most instsnoes, Gifts, i grants and franchise to th use of streets in part and In whole; rights to the use' of the surface of th streets; rights to- th use of th earth below th streets; rights to th us of spac above the streets; gifts of streets In full width, outright and for all time; petty pickings and clippings from off - side walks have each and all been "dished out" with a free hand, with littl or no consideration shown for th Interests or rights ? of 'the : people In th same. Against this unjust method of granting and giving away the clty'a property I have at all times officially protested, and protested in vain.- Asking for no more than a proper and just reservation and protection of the city's right to its own, and asking for such rights in the interest and nam of th people only. I have met with indifference, or openly expressed . contempt for my effort in that direction. ; Sh property of th peopl belongs to them alone, and their rights are as sacrea as are tnose or the individual, and under no circumstances should they um pariea witn wunout due and careful consideration, of h value of that for wnicn they are exchanged, and that vaiu snouia 0 a full equivalent. Such method, If put In practice, wllr- wrong no mans interest or, rights, and more than that neither he nor they have a right to ask or to expect If this rule had at all times been followed In the past I am of th opinion that th tax rat for th city's necessary expendl turea for the ooming year would be far below the S.OT mills that has been as sessed to pay for the same. Portland Mills Denuded by Continued Demand From Orient-No Wheat Available in . Northwest-Second Flour Advance Promised. Famine of flour threatens the entire Paclflo coast . There la not a single barrel Of flour available . for foreign shipment during tne next month from any of the Paclflo coast milling centers.: Portland pro duces more flour than any other coast port but Its flour supplies are down very low. . The great shortage Is due entirely to ttje enormous oriental demand. In for mer seasons there .bav been times when v oriental flour, order, came in faster; but the drain has never, since the milling industry of the PacMic'Coasl became so enormous, been so, great and steady as this season. The aggregate amount of flour orders that, have been accepted by the milling trade has been fully . double that of all . previous rec ords.. ' ' . i.. . On reason for this great and unusu ally heavy demand from the. orient is th fact 1 that when this year's wheat crop was being ground into . flour ' the orient's supply of flour was- practically exhausted. Following this came a fam ine in Japan. .This caused the importa tion of a much larger amount of flour Into that country than usual, and ship ments from here were augmented by a similar condition in China. , Millers are still attending to thia part of the business and are being switched off to relieve - the starving Russtana Portland has responded to th aid of every stricken section. - Coast.
