; The council yesterday j afternoon de
cided - not , to give the Portland Rail
way, Light A Power company a f ran
chine on PattOn avenue lor a line to
the Swift packing plant, and to offer
the -company Instead, a grant on Al

It remains to be seen whether'- the
railway company will accept the fran
chise on Alblna avenue but It la thought
that no very marked objection will be
made. The reason the streetcar com-
Jiany wanted the Patton avenue route
a that It would be 1.800 feet shorter,
thus savins a .considerable expense In

want the . streetcar line down Patton
avenue because they own most of the

A motion was made and unanimously'
adopted to strike out of the proposed
