Automatic Company Cannot Operate

Olympla. Nov. 9. The Automatic
Telephone company, which Is seek
ing a franchise In this city to operate
their system, has received a set back
at Olympla, us the mayor of the city
referred the franchise back without
his signature, and gave such good
reasons thnt the council sustained his
veto unanimously.
The mayor In his message claimed
that the franchise was not complete
enough and that there were several
points In II that did not protect the
city enough and allowed too many
loopholes.
The muyor's main objections were:
That the franchise was to be granted
on condition that an automatic sys
tem be Installed, while there was no
provision In the ordinance as It ex
isted that bound them to install that
system.

lOINTS WON FOIl THK PEOPLE.
I. Provision allowing for the purchase of the plant by the city
after 2(1 years, should such be desired.
I, provision for the lowering of rates after five years, should
the cost of manufacturing gas become cheapened by reason of a
decline In the price of coal, by the Introduction of Improved meth
ods, or for any other reason.
3. More specific requirements for the supplying of gas to the
different portions of the city within a specified time.
4. Raising of the guarantee to build bond from $louo to lliOOO
and collection of $500 of the old bond.
That it pays for the people to make
their wishes known in matters where
their rights are Involved, was proven
at the council meeting last evening,
when that body failed to give tho
Northwestern Gas 4 Electric com
pany the franchise they wished and
Instead granted them one very dif
ferent in character. While the new
ordinance did not contain all of the
things that had been fought for, yet
It contained the Important ones, and
the result was a victory for the peo
ple and the East Oregonlan. Also
members of the council, or nt least
a majority of them, showed that they
were not under the dictation of the
company, und they are entitled to
credit for their stand.
When the council convened last
night every member was In his seat,
with Mayor Matlock presiding, and
City Attorney Carter and Recorder
Fits Gerald In attendance. After a
little minor business had been trans
acted, the new gas franchise was
taken up and read in full. After a
few changes had been made In the
wording of the ordinance, and It had
been favorably reported by the com
m It lee. It was read
for the second
time. .
Before going to Its third reading
Councilman Hlnkle asked if the pas
sage of the ordinance with Its clause
repealing the old franchise would
also free the company from the
11000 bond which had become sub
ject to forfeit through the failure
of the company to Install its plant.
This was answered In the affirmative
by City Attorney Carter, and after
some debute that section was stricken
oul by motion. Upon motion of H. F.
Johnson, the ordinance was then
passed to its third reading, the rules
being suspended, and following that
the vote of the council was taken.
Every man voted aye.
After the vote Upon the ordinance
had been taken, Mayor Matlock stat
ed that before he signed the same he
wanted tho matter of the old bond
disposed of. Thereupon the question
of whether or not the forfeit should
be demanded was dlBcussed by dif
ferent members. Finally a motion
by Councilman Dickson that 1500 be
demanded as full payment, was car
ried, and the mayor stated that he
would sign the ordinance after the
amount had been paid.
Reduction of Rates Provided.
The following is the section of the
ordinance which makes it possible for
the city to force a reduction of rates
should the price of manufacturing
gas decline:
"If aft,er five years of the life of
the said franchise the cost or pro
ducing gas In the city of Pendleton
can be lessened from the present cost
of producing It by reason of a de
crease in the price of coal, or of im
proved methods In the manufacture of
gas, or by any change In any condi
tions or circumstances now existing,
the Northwestern Gas & Electric com
pany shall on the request of the coun
cil of the city of Pendleton, propor
tionately decrease the above stated
maximum price of gas to Its consum
ers, and shall proportionately In
crease Its yearly payments to the city
for the uncompleted periods herein
after specified."
Purchasing Privilege.
The clause which grants the city
the right to purchase the plant after
SO years, Is as follows
"Section 5. The city of Pendleton
shall have the right to purchase from
the Northwestern Gas & Electric
company, Its successors or assigns,
the entire plant, outfit and apparatus
In existence at the end of 20 years
from this date, or any time thereafter
at prices to be agreed upon between
the city of Pendleton and the North'
western Gas A Electric company, or
If not Mhle to agree, then the purrhase
price of the property shall be fixed
by a. majority of three persons to be
chosen, one by the council, one by the
Northwestern Gas & Electric compa
ny or assigns, and one by the two
persons so chosen. However, there
shall be nothing In this provision to
compel the city to purchase the plant
should It not desire to do so."
Two Thousand Dollar Bond.
Other things in the ordinance past
ed that were not In the original one
proposed by the company, are a
$2000 bond for the establishment of
the plant within a yeur, and a defi
r.lte requirement that gas be supplied
to certain portions of the city. In the
previous ordinance bond of but $1000
was rt.'i jirod. .
Under the present oruinance tni
company must be ready to furnish gas
to patrons within the business portion
of the city on Main and Court streets
within 12 months from date, and to
the residence portion within 18
months. The latter Is required to
consist of at least the following sec
tlons of the city.
On Jackson street, for at least five
blocks from the north end of the
Main street bridge. Alta street, for
at least five blocks on each side of
Main street. Water street, for at least
five blocks east of Main street. East
Court street for at least six blocks
from Vincent street, the portion of
Court street between Vincent and
Main being considered as In the bus
Iness portion. West Court street for
six blocks from -Mam. Webb street
for at least nine blocks east of Main
and five blocks west of thnt street,
A bond of $10,000 is given by the
company to Indemnify and save
harmless the city of Pendleton from
all liability of loss or damage which
it may incur or suffer by reason of
Its failure to perform every condition
of the ordinance. However, this re
quirement was also a part of the for
mer ordinance.
Compensation of (8200.
The compensation to be given the
city for the franchise Is as follows:
On the first day of January, 1909, nnd
each year thereafter the following
amounts shall be paid: $200 for each
year of the first five years of the life
of the franchise; $300 for each year
of the second five years; $400 for
each year of the third five years; $500
for each year of the fourth five years,
and $600 for each year of the lost
two years of the franchise. This
makes a total of $8200, which Is to
be paid the city, whereas, but $7000
was designated in the original ordi
nance. Also, the payments are to
commence after three years Instead
of five.
Kale In Detail,
In the new ordinance the maximum
charges for gas were left as in the
old one, and the only Improvement
made was In tho provision for a low
ering of rates should the price of
manufacturing gas decrease. The
rates given are as follows: $2 per 1000
feet of gas for fuel purposes; $3.25
per 1000 feet of gas for both fuel
and light; $2.50 per 1000 feel for
light only.
During the time the franchise was
under consideration last night the
Interest In the proceedings was in
tense. Every member kept a sharp
eye on what was being done and was
on his guard, being careful not to let
anything escape that would tend to
Indicate too strongly how he stood
Nevertheless, such expressions crop
ed out occasionally, and It could be
seen who were the most sealous for
the company.
Mayor Signs Franchise Ordinance,
This afternoon Recorder Kits Ger
aid stated that the signature of Mayor
Matlock had been affixed to the ordi
nance grunting a gas franchise to th
Northwestern Gas Electric Co., an
'also that the $500 required of the
company in settlement or their oonu
had been paid Into the treasury.

Wll Be Sustained, ami If It Is
it Will Re Enforced Strictly From
the Time of Decision.
To test the legality of the state law'
forbidding the sale of liquor to Indi
ans, the cases or Llvermore ana ar-
llii are being taken into the supreme
court on an appeal. The two men
above mentioned have been under In
dictment In the circuit court since
last summer, when evidence ugalnst
them was secured by Inspector Valen
tine. Since that time the cases hung
fire In tho circuit court until recently,
when a stipulation was presented by
the attorneys In the case. This was
signed by Judge Fee and Carter &
Haley, attorneys for the two defend
ants, and also by District Attorney
Phelps. It stated that the two men
under Indictment had sold liquor to
Indians as charged, and on the
si l ength of the same the two men
were held by Judge Ellis. Thereupon
an appeal was taken to the supreme
court by the defendants, the basis of
their claim being that the law pro
hibiting the sale of liquor to Indians
is unconstitutional. It Is said that
the case will probably be heard by
the supreme court after their return
to Salem, or thnt both sides will sub
mlt their cases by briefs.
In consideration of the action taken
by the defendants In acknowledging
their guilt, and thus allowing of a
speedy settlement by the supreme
court it Is understood that District
Attorney Phelps will recommend that
the sentences given the two men be
suspended during their behavior, pro
vided the constitutionality of the law
Is upheld by the supreme court.
District Attorney Phelps is confi
dent that when the case Is tried out
the law will be upheld, and thus the
mooted question of whether or not
It is Illegal to sell liquor to Indians
will be finally settled. As soon as the
matter Is passed upon by the supreme
court it is understood that the law,
if upheld, will he strictly enforced.
