John M. Gearln appeared for Farrell,
and J. Couch Flanders for the Port of
Portland.
The complaint filed In attacking the
act raises tho point that as the Port of
Portland Is neither a citv or town. It
has not the power to amend Its charter
by the Initiative under the constitu
tional amendment of 1908 reserving to
the people of cities and towns the right
of Initiative.
On the other site it Is contended that
there Is an Inherited or Implied right
that the power to authorize a towage
and pilotage, service must reside some
where, and the supreme court has al
ready held that It can not be exercised
1 I bv the legislature. There "are other
