Rushlight asked for art pinion on the 150,000 bond put up by he company " as a guarantee of good "alth. He thought that It ought to be forfeited. Inasmuch as the company had Wt commenced . work , In tha allotted i . 1 Iim. . , . ... v . ' . ' City Attorney Kavanaugh stated that .- he had examined the guarantee pro 1 visions of the franchise thoroughly and that Its peculiar wording- exempted the company from paying any penalty ex cepting the $1,000 as first payment on the franchise which la In the hands of the city treasury. ' r -- Kushllght voted for tha revocation Of the franchise. All of tha members of tha council were present and tha only three who - voted against resclndment were Bennett. Wallace and Wills.'

Considerable ' warmth was displayed Iri the discussion of this franchise and : personalities . crept into the argument. .V Herman Wittenberg, one of ; the di rectors of the United Railways com pany, which has absorbed tha Oregon Traction company, made an Impassioned , appeal for "a square deal," as ne termed It. Ha admitted that tha company had failed to complete the first seven miles of its system In tha required time but pleaded extenuating circunwi.nc. na said that in the three months prior to the expiration of. the time allotted for the completion of tha ; work, a good showing had been made. He said $100. 000 had been expended by the company In laying steel rails. Wittenberg said his company had 100,000 tons of steel rails on tha way and with the permis sion of the council would continue on , the way to Hlllsboro Just as rapidly as ,. possible," ' ' ' ;iYr Threatened the City.- - , '.: "' Prank Hotter, representing ths Peo ple's Market association threatened to hold the city responsible for a $S0,000 loan If its franchise in the city market locks was revoked. He said that his tirra was ready to ' sell out for $J0, U0 to the city or that they would pay ,$200 a month rental Instead of $100 as at present He also consented to take out a modified franchise and permis sion to do this was given. ' f Feeling that the present , Shepherd building ordinance Is tha only one that will bring the architects and builders to time in assisting In -the preparation of a better measure, the council yester day refused to heed the recommenda tion that the limit of brick buildings be extended to five stories instead or lour.
