At the regular meeting ef the Woodburn city council .held Tuesday night the discussion of a new franchise which the Portland General Elec tric company is requesting, was the main feature. W. M. Hamilton of Salem, man ager of this division, was present and explained that the company would approve an indeterminate franchise and would be willing to pay the city $100 per year for it. This would give the company the right to use the city streets for its poles and sell power to Wood burn residents for any length of time desired up to 20 years, the city not having the right to can cel It. Blaine MeCord, city attor ney spoke for the city saying that $100 per year was not enough. No agreement was reached and the matter probably will be taken up at the next meeting. ; Another feature of the meeting was the 3 to 1 vote by the council to override the veto of Mayor Hae fer of the ordinance recently pass ed relating to the appointment of a day marshal. As it stands the city is now without police pro tection during the day. . The council asked Hoefer to accept the street commissioner as day mar- snai witnout aaauional salary or to leave the city without a day man. The mayor decided on the second course, as John Muir who Is commissioner was reported to have ignored orders given him by the mayor several months ago, who, according to the provisions of the city charter is head of the police department, with author ity to appoint all police officers.
