Enactment First.
The blanket franchise ofthe Portland
Hallway; Light Si Powor company, the
" fianchlne of George F. Ileuaner and the
franchise of ,-tht, Hellls-Dlcklnson con
jiany were considered'.- yesterday tfti

commute in conference with . City, At
torricy , Fl ank S.'iOrant, And after :the
committee had ordered several amend'
mems, the-different franchises "were or
dered aunt to tho council to ba made a
Freclal order of business the first thins
tomorrow morning, ' -
At tho suggestion of .Mayor Rushlight
and City Attorney 1 Grant, the clause
inall of the franchises referring: to the
rlghta on the Broadway bridge were left
blank. ' The original drafts of the rneas
vires provided for trackage over the big
viaduct,, but Mayor Rushlight called at
tentlon to 'the fact that If the Broadway
bridge should be tied up In any ran
uhiae for a period of 25 years the recent
charter amendment providing for 3 cent
tolls on all bridges might prove to be
usBlees as . far as the city is concerned
Bridge Clauses Blank C'U.;:fe
It was decided, therefore, to consider
tho franohlBea without reference to the
bridge and t draw; up a legislative act
mtlfyina; the S cents per car toll on all
Hty 1 bridges. ! This act will bo drafted
by City Attorney Grant end aubmitteu
to the council for us "approval. ; Mayoi
ramlillKht will then submit the proposed
I 'ho county court for consideration
MSnTid if the court approves it the measure
will bo sent to the state legislature with
a request that that body consider It at
early aa. possible. , - :-. ;
The street committee also made
changes in several sectlons- of the pro
pdaed frauchlbe of the Southern Pacific
on' Fourth street. One of the changes
'provides, that the compbnymust accept
the franchise for 25 years regardless of
whether or not the United States su
preine court Khali decide In a loner-pend-
lug suit that tho company has certain
vested rights on the street.'
FUa to Avoid Remonstrance.
'At the - suggestion of City Attorney
Grant the committee determined to ask
the state legislature to pass a law giv
ng the state railroad commission the
power to lower or raise the grades at
all railroad crossings In municipalities.
If such en act is passed it will then
be possible to compel the O.-W. R. & N.
and Portland Railway, Ught & Power
companies! to construct an overhead via
duct at the Joint crossing of the two
companies on the Bandy boulevard.
-The companies, it is believed, are will
ing to do this, but a majority of the
property owners affected have held up
the improvement by threatening to re
rnonstrato it out. The passage of the
k'glnluUve act would prevent any re
monstrance and make the railroad com
tulsHlon arbiter of all damages, that
might ensue to property owners by rea-

Dairy. The City Dairy man de
clared the Sanitary driver, who
covered, the same territory . at
an earlier hour, wrote notea or-
derlng . delivery stopped, and
placed these notes in the City
man's bottles,
The City man obeyed- these
forged notes. On the same day,
the Sanitary , man went -to the
houses and said: "I understand
you are having trouble about
your milk; hadn't you better let
the Sanitary people serve you?"
And, according to the City man,
the Sanitary man got the new 4
customers. ,

"You did," said the City man.
' "I did not," said the Sanitary
man. , -

City man,; nursing a bleeding

for It was an affair of honor, as
he explained later.
