a wild, barren aspect"
The last occupants of the farm were
an Italian family named . Satanzt and

Next Wedhesday's Council
. Meeting to Be One op
;' Most Importance. -
Next Wednesday will be "franchise
day"! with the city council. The meet
ing of the city lawmakers on that date
promises to be one of the most import
ant, if, In fact, not the most Important
session ever held. Three great fran
chise grants upon the outcome of Which
will depend the expenditure of $10,000,
000 In the development of the Willam
ette valley and Portland by -the Hill
and Harrlman railroad Interests will be
up for final passage before the coun
cil. .
One of these franchises grants the
a P. & S. line of the Hill system a 25
year privilege to1 operate in the heart
of the great east side shipping1 district.
Another provides for a common User
grant to the Southern Paclfio on Fourth
street; and the third provides for the
electrification of the Jefferson street
line of the Southern Pacific. Bothv of
the last named franchises are for 25
year terms and both call for electric
motive power. The Hill: franchise on
the east side provides a gateway for
the Hill lines . into, the' shipping center
of the city, i;.';V:r ;.v?:?r --,' ;
Ten votes, will be required ;to pass
the franchises. There aro two council
men out of the city. Of the remaining
1$, four have assumed a hostile atti
tude toward the railroads. These four
are Magulre, paly, Jennings an,d Wil
helm. Councilman Magulre believes the
valuations placed on the franchises are
too low. He and his confreres will en
deavor to have the valuation on the
Fourth street line, in particular, raised
to $5000 a year. v -,
The valuation already' fixed by the
council on tnis franchise is $Z00O a
year.. .
In addition to the three franchises
mentioned, the Portland Railway, Light
St- Power company's application for a
20 year franchise covering 20 miles of
street extension will also come up for
valuation. The minority of the council
will try to have fixed a valuation of
at least $400 a mile for each track
placed on these streets. The executive
board has recommended that the valua
tion be fixed at $200 a mile for each mile
of street, regardless of whether or not
single or double tracks are laid. This
recommendation of the board is made
on the condition that the company grant
stopover privileges of one hour on all
Its lines.
