TWO WORK TRAINS
FOR WALLOWA BRANCH
Engineer Brandon came out from
Wallowa with a stock train Sunday
evening and returned Monday, says
the La Grande Star. One of the
object-: ;f his trip was to sea
about the preliminary arrangements
for placing two work trains on
the branch road. While the road
bed was put in the best possible
condition last fall there remains a
considerable amount of work to
make the tiack up to the standard.
While no definite announcements are
yet made it is the understanding at
the railroad offices that the two
trains will be put to work at as
early a date a? possible.

TWO COMPANIES
JOSEPH COUNCIL GRANTS
YEAR PERMITS FOR LIGHT
AND POWER.
30
Joseph, March 12. At the special
meeting of the council Thursday
night, the mayor's veto of the Wal
lowa Lake Light & Power company's
franchise was sustained, but an ordi
nance amended to meet most of the
mayor's objections was introduced.
An ordinance identical in Its' provls
Ions granting the F. D. McCully com
pany a 30 year franchise was also I
I ti t d 1 1 i ,1 n.u i '
read twice and referred to the light
committee. The committee reported
favorably with minor amendments.
As amended both were read the third
time and passed by the full vote,
six members, of the council.
The amended franchise of George
W. Hamilton and J. D. Walck, which
is identical with the others, was
read twice and referred. The coun
ell adjourned until next Monday
night.
These franchises give the grantees
full rights to conduct light and
power systems run by electricity for
10 years. The wires must be strung
not less than 25 feet above the
ground. The new companies must
commence the installation of their
systems within six months, and Mr.
McCully must install an ew dynamo
within the same time. Written ac
ceptances must be filed within 30
days by each.
Maximum rates are provided In
each for 16, 32 and 50 candle .power
Incandescent lights, and a maximum
rate of $6 per month is fixed for
arc lights. The city retains consid
erable control over the placing of
poles, conduits and wires. The or
dinances take effect in 30 days af
ter passage and aproval by the
nayor; hence the referendum is at
the disposal of the people in connec
tion with the franchise.
Following Is the full text of Mayor
F. F. McCully's veto of the first fran
chise granted the W, L. L. & P. Co.:
"Gentlemen; I herewith return to
you Ordinance No, , Series, 1909,
;ranting a thiity yeir franchise to
the Wallowa Lake Light & Power
Co., without my signature or approva
for the following reasons:
'The ordinance does not contain
he "enacting clause'' as required by
Section seventy .two (page 13) of
he city charter. Therefore, I con-
ilder the same 1 legal.
"I am of the opinio.i that the con
struction of the city water system
and the pipe line of the Wallowa Lake
Ight & Power Co. will necessitate
the crossing over or the tunneling
under of one or the other of the Im
provements, and I think the same
should be satisfactorily adjusted
before, said franchise be granted.
"Mutual agreements concerning the
erection of po'es on Main street
mould be Inserted In the franchise.
"Maximum rates should be stated
and regularly Inserted In said fran
chise,
The corporation should be requir
ed to file a wri tsn 'acceptance oi
he conditions of the franchise wlth-
thirty days of the date of the
final passage of the ordinance grant
ing the franchse,"
M. D. Knight offered the council
deeds for a right of way for most
of the route of the proposed water
system outside the city limits, for
$500; the offer to remain open ror
acceptance until bonda are voted
or rejected.
