LIGIIIIiIG Bill
Backed. Fr , by Executive
1 Board, Declares Insuffic-
' : ient Current Furnished.
Members Of th city executive board
v uphold Mayor usi In bta refusal
id py,the full wnount of the cltjr'
Mafch lighting blU to the Portland
Railway. Light & Power company and
at yesterday"! meeting voted1 -to allow
tii company ' but ' 15.XM ;of ' the tota'
bill of 18,0(0." Thla action followed the
reading of a voluminous report . from
the lighting committee, recommending
that the full amount be not paid. ;
- When the company March bill waa
presented Mayor Lane refused to eign
the payment warrant, stating hi
reason that the company was not living
. cp to Its contract-with the .city In fur
nishing the required amount of current
He said that his Investigation revealed
the fact that the company wa furnish
ing only about two-thirds of the amount
of current stipulated In the contract.
Mhycr Lane pursued, his Investigation
to the point of subpoenaeln employe
and officials of the company before bim
to .testify as to the amount of current
furnished by the company. Unable to
fain satisfactory answers from these
officials and believing the company- was I
not living up to Its contract .with the
iiv. Mavor Lane refused to sign the.
warrant and yesterday' action by the
board is considered a great victory for
the mayor In the fight for cheaper mu
nicipal lighting. ; . : - S'v
Just what action the company will
talcs In the matter I uncertain because
of the absence of President Josselyn
from the city. That the lighting bill
will be the basts of a suit between the
company and the city seema to be a
foregone conclusion, and It is expected
this action will be taken upon the re
turn of Josselyn to Portland. -i
The company's contract expire with
the city at the end of the present year.
Although ' the council passed an ordi
nance authorising the executive board
to bid for a new lighting -contract for
a period of either three or five years
no action has thus far been taken by
,ht executive body. ... t.
- A legislature that won't elect the peo
ple's choice for senator Is likely to re
peal the primary law. ,

INCREASE VALUEhe ; increase value of Portland Business? Real 4 Estate has been
"p steady and healthy and easilyr justifiable. Within the last few years the eastern money inter-
sts have;;fully realized the tnany and wonderful resources of Oregon,; among which are its
V agricultural lands, 'itsHimber and its water-powers, all needing development and exploitation,
These resources must all -pay tribute to Portlarid,nd it is easy to reason why Portland;bus-
inespropertyhas within the past five years, increased from 175 to 400 per cent, and ut is. safe
to predict thatthenext five orten years will see even a greater increase. ; ' , . r -

for, ten years arid then sold. The certificate holders will receive in addition to the
face of their certificates and thc interest, and income -paid on; them,- one half of the 'increased
valuation of the-propertyv being the difference between rhe ' purchase price and the- selling
price of the property; which; can easily be estimated between 200 per cent and 300 per cent,
for every reason gies evidence that Portland should have between 500,000 and 600,000 pop-
ulation within the next ten years. - 1 ' v
