STREET VACATION FOR TERMINAL IS AMENDMENT PLAN "562, Yes; 503, No. Terminal vaca tion charter amendment. - The bal lot title reads as follows. : - "Amendment to Section 7 of the Char ter of the City of Portland authorising the council to vacate certain streets and portions of streets in the City of , Port land to permit rai&road terminal devel opment, and authorizing the council to prescribe the terms and conditions upon1 which 'said vacations shall be made." The measure proposes the vacation of a group of streets west of the Union depot in order to carry out union freight and passenger terminal plans announced by the railroads. Most of the streets in volved are now what is known as "paper streets." I. e., they have never been opened or improved for traffic and to a considerable extent are now employed by the railroads - under revocable permits from the city, which would not. how ever, permit tne permanent occupancy which the . railroads desire In connection with their terminal plans. ; . VIADUCT RIGHTS RESERVED Under agreement entered into between the city on one side and the railroads (Southern Pacific O-W. R. fc. N., S. P. tc S.. Great Northern and' Northern Pa cific) on the other, all rights pertaining to overhead viaducts and underground conduits for "water and sewage are re served to the -city. ; ; f 1 , - Sixty feet of Front street's 80-foot width is to be freed entirely of longi tudinal tracks. V : s" ' 4 Ninth street is to be improved through to Front street with a viaduct con structed at railroad expense over the railroad, tracks. , , : .

At the end of three years, at the order of, the city, the railroads will join with Other property owners in giving the city a strip 10 feet wide on the north side of Hoy t street so that that thoroughfare may be widened. Similarly Fourteenth street is to be widened by the dedication of a 20-foot strip to, the city. ; WOULD EXTBKD WAR PLA3T ' ; ... The history of the terminal measure is briefly as follows : During the war under government administration the -. Union depot was used by the trains of the Great Northern and S. P. ft S. in add! tton to the trains owning the Union depot, namely, the Southern Pacific Northern Pacific and O-W. R. & N. At the end of the railroad administration the Great Northern and 8. P. ft. S. were notified their trains could no longer use the Union depot. Public protest -fol lowed. Preparations were made by the city and the Oregon public service com mission to institute action with the inter state commerce commission. The railroads then compromised ' the controversy by agreeing to throw their properties, including a break-up yard in the Guilds lake district, into a Union freight and passenger terminal, with all passenger trains save those of the elec tric lines using the Union depot, condi tioned upon the grant of street vacations essential to the expansion 'proposed. A committee composed of the presi dent's council of Portland's business .and civic clubs, together with the engineers of the port and dock commissions and the city first negotiated with the. rail roads, and the tentative agreement, after minor modifications, was approved ; by the city council in the form submitted to the voters for the election.

June 4. Further evi dence of the stabilization of prices already emphasized in these dis patches is at hand with the close of the month and the availability of the first of the surveys of price trends maintained by various official and semi-official agencies. This par ticular survey shows that of 26 "key commodities, 16 showed increase during May over April, while four showed no change and only six showed further decreases.' This does not mean that an upward swing has come, for most of the In creases' were among articles affected by the season of the year. Others were of a character where previous decreases had been greater than general market conditions warranted. As a whole the group may be taken as indicating that the process of liquidation has reached a point where raw materials are bo ginning to obey conditions In their Indi vidual fields. This is the surest meas ure of stabilization. The federal reserve bank. In Its monthly survey, gtyes the first specific resume of the extent to which prices have gone down at retail In the metrop olis. The major classifications of the roster are as follows : Women's suits, 34 per cent decline ; men's suits. 30 per cent ; women's millinery, 32 per cent ; women's hosiery, cotton. '27 per cent ; silk, 33 per cent ; silks and satins, 48 per cent; dress goods, cotton, 43 per cent; woolen, 36 per cent ; shoes, women's. 43 per cent; men's. 38 per cent ; children's, 33 per cent; women's furs, 41 per cent; furniture, 4S per cent; rugs., 36 per cent; China and glassware, 24 per cent f pianos, 16 per cent. The average of these declines is 37 per cent. A stronger tendency on the part of the buying public to accept the evidences that readjustment has about reached its present goal is to be ob served. Purchases of necessities are be ing made in bulk, not materially below that of former years, and more inter est is being attracted toward other arti cles, , There Is -still the spirit of caution in buying, but on the whole the summer's prospect is good, and a distinctly better mood is pervading the mercantile com-, munlty. 1 PACIFIC COAST BANK STATEMENT r .
