more congested during the rush hours
than any other track In the city, the
city commission Wednesday unani
mously voted not to allow the company
to, put In a loop at Second and Yam

The company claimed that Installs'

traffic congestion.

.If we are going -. to build up a
great city we must get "away from the
idea that business mUxt be kept on
Morrison, Alder and Washington
streets," said tue mayor. "We -will
have to see that only .single tracks
are permitted on these streets and that
the street cars shall proceed in only
one direction. This can and ' will be
accomplished by loops.
"In the matter before the council at
this time, the request of the street car
company to be permitted to establish
a loop at Second and Yamhill streets,
I must vote no. I can not vote to
take away cars from the loop at Se

use those cars protest that Second and
Yamhill Is too far away from transfer
points. . Some change In routing where
by cars will be taken farther up town
Is needed right now but the riding
public Is not yet ready for the change,
They must be shown." t

The mayor declared that In the rush
Honrs any better service than that af

crossing Hawthorne bridge can not be

"Our business," said Vice President
Fuller, speaking to the council, "is to
give as good service as we can afford
to give for-what we get. That is the
reason we applied ror permission to
loop some of the cars off . Second
street at Yamhill
, Mr. Fuller submitted statistics which
showed that 118 cars an hour pass
along Second street during the period
oeiween 6 ana 6 in the afternoon
xnis, ne said, is the greatest number
of 'cars that pass over any track In
the city in the evening rush hours. He
stated that the establishment of a loop
on Yamhill street would enable his
company to take one third of the cars
