ZIEGLER DECRIES
HASTY VACATION -i
OF CITYSTREETS
Yielding of Acreage Not Needed,
Is Claim; J Present r Authority
Called Sufficient Unto Day.
Desirous of setting forth clearly
his views on the proposed vacation
of streets for a new terminal for the
city, J. B. Ziegler has outlined his
contentions in the following letter: "
Portland,; May 14. To the Editor
When we remember that the dock
commission in 1913 paid nearly that sura
for dock sites' Nos. 1 and 2, for area
much less, we can realize that the valua
tion is conservative. -
The reason urged for the vacations is
to secure from the two railroad systems
serving the city a unified terminal. A
quite vague and incomprehensive agree
ment Is being drawn up for said purpose.
It provides for an expanded trackage
system of the N. P. terminal to which
some, but not all the lines now using the
S. P. A S. depot on Eleventh street are
to be admitted. That terminal (S.- P. &
S.) is to remain in its present area for
the use of some of its lines. There is to
be no new depot. There is to be no
united operation of the terminal so as
to avoid cumulative switching charges,
now operating as a heavy burden upon
shippers. .
Each line Is merely admitted to the
use ' of the terminal and tracks, and
when- leaving it to serve the various
industrials, are subject to the same old
abuse. Mr. Lothrop, manager of the
Portland Traffic and Transportation as
sociation, filed the objection to this fea
ture. There is to be no increase in the
width of Front street or the area of
waterfront streets, although Front street
becomes the sole artery for traffic con
necting the city with the waterfront
terminals and the new terminals and
industrials to be developed in the Guilds
lake district But 20 feet of the present
width of 80 feet is to be subject to
rail trackage. , s
WHAT DO WE GET!
What then, do we get for the 11.500,
000 worth of streets to be vacated?
The compensation Is largely illusory.
We get a 10 foot widening of Hoyt to
Fourteenth whenever a union depot is
built We get a promised privilege for
elevated rodways across the terminals
and we get a partial union not a com
mon terminal. No relief from unnec
essary terminal costs or .the handicap
as to quality of service the east side
shippers labor under Is proposed.
These Questions were specifically ex
cluded from the discussion for fear of
the defection of the railroads from the
plan. . ;
I hardly think that fear well grounded,
when the railroads are getting title to
so large an expansion of their inner ter
minals and franchise for connections
with their new switchyards to be devel
oped on their 245 acres in the Guilds
laae district
In the quite obvious propaganda for
the vacations, it is called a $2,000,000
improvement Maybe, that amount is
to be expended by the railroads in yard
trackage, storage, eta, but - that is not
the : point of contact between the rail
terminals and the public. Those costs
might well be covered by the increased
tariffs which have so sadly decreased
our ! western commerce, but is not any
thing to invite the hysterical generosity
ui givuig up i,ouu.uuu in BLreeia.
CABE SHOULD BE i
Every expansion of traffic within the
terminals means an equal expansion of
tranic witnout tne terminals ; yet every
step taken by the railroads is held con
tingent upon giving up a lot of streets,
without provision for any alternative
easements.
In the development of a commercial
metropolis, it has been found that the
areas devoted to private industrials and
public easements are, roughly, about
equal. The public interest in its ease
ments being a-permanent one, the public
policy of inalienability has. again rough
ly speaiting, Deen estaDiisnea. mis "pol
icy is, naturally, of the greatest force
about its traffic terminal areas, and it
is there the nubile authorities should
exercise their most zealous care.- No
nrivate terminals should be created with
out proper allocation with public ease
ments and subordination to the entire
municipal system which must be, if not
pnysicauy, a common system, at least in
policy so if not owned as such, operated
as such.
Otherwise, the owning carriers bottle
op their non-competitive terminals for
future reference, and proceed to develop
their system and fight for business at
tne strategic and competitive points.
"ALL ASK, SO GITE" :
The historv of the Portland terminal
has been a series of blanket vacations
of public easements in violation of pub
lic policy, subordinating the public
rights to every demand of private cor
porations presenting a- specious plea
that : they were going to do thus ana so,
provided the city would give up some
more easements for private development
And, mind you, that now proposed is
not to be developed toy railroad capital
alone, but the 245 acres in the Guilds
lake district' on which the switchyards
are to be built as well as commercial
industrials, and more than a mile of
waterrront are to be areagea ana rinea
with! some $10,000,000 of nubile funds.
Hence, is it not evident that 16 -acres of
streets, instead or being given away to
private interests, - should be replatted
into : the easements necessary for the
controlling public rights-of-way, which,
in this case, would mean an 120 foot
Front street -which probably would ab
sorb the full area to be vacated? -
It has been urged upon the state and
city authorities that the needed terminal
developments cannot .be had without
these absolute vacations. Let us sea
QUOTES TEBMI3TAL POLICT
The common terminal policy already
cited appears in sections 7, 8, 169 and
183 of the city charter. They were writ
ten by me and adopted by the people
from 1910 to 1913. They provide, first
for an inventory and non-alienation of
public rights within 2000 feet of the
meander line of the river for the re
platting of streets, so that no area is
lost and the same purpose served ; sec
ond, - that street ends may be occupied
for terminal .purposes or equipment;
third, that the "common user" shall at
tach to all tracks lying either in whole
or in part upon - the city streets, and.
fourth, that the city shall coordinate all
its rights about the waterfront into a
common terminal plan. There is provi
sion, right there, for either the occupancy
of the streets or their re platting. Why
then the urge for their unconditional
vacation? Is it that the railroads object
to the common terminal features? : We
should all understand by this time that
common terminals are an acknowl
edged necessity and : private terminals
an anachronism. ...
. And why should an ordinance Involv
ing the loss of such an area of public
streets be submitted to the people on- a
four iweekB' notice, when the roads ask
ing the same have had their purpose in
soak, ever since 1909, only waiting kind
weather for its launching?
I : i J. B. ZIEGLER,
the obligation of said railroad companies
affected - to dedicate such 10-foot strip
shall be conditioned upon the city's se
curing, withput expense or assessment
of benefits to the railroad companies
affected, a like ' 10-foot strip from pri
vately owned property fronting on said
north side of Hovt street between aaid
points ; provided, however that no pro-
ceeamgs ior tne widening ot said tioyt
street between said points, shall be in
itiated by the city within three years
from the effective data of said street
vacations.

fected shall cause to be dedicated to the

Fourteenth : The said railroad com
panies affected shall permit the city of

operate and maintain sewers, . water

utility facilities now situated under said
areas to be vacated and shall be held
responsible In damages to such conduits,

and expense, for means of ingress and
egress by the public to and from its
union depot and for park, parking and
traffic purposes, and that the parking
of same shall be approved by the city,
and such use shall continue, unless
changed, with the : consent of - the city
council, so long as the use of the present
station as it now exists shall continue,
and should a new union depot be -built
by it so as to necessitate the use of
block "Y" in its construction, then it
is agreed by the terminal company that
it will provide not less adequate land
which, with the streets adjacent, shaU
provide adequate ingress and egress to
such union station; provided, that the
use of said block as at present parked
shall comply with this stipulation, and
provided further that , this stipualtion
shall not be construed ' as a dedication
to the city, or the public, of any portion
of block Y." The railroad companies
affected further agree to refund and pay
to the city the sum of $3916.04, belnf
amount recently expended by the city
for improvements In connection with
said block "Y."
