ALLEN WRITES
UPON TROLLEY
Open Letter to People of Ashland
Regarding Franchise Application
Agrees to Prosecute Work in Good
Faith Until Line Is Completed.
ASHLAND, Or., June 9. In an
open letter to the citizens of Ashland,
published in the Valley Record, John
It. Allen gives assurance that he will
tile an agreement, if the franchise is
granted, to begin construction with
in one year and to prosecute the work
In good faith continuously and com
plete the came In reasonable time.
The letter Is as follews:
To the Citizens of Ashland: To as
sist in a better understanding of the
question of crontlng mo a street rall
"way franchiso in Ashland, which will
be submitted to you In tLe form of
au ordinance to be voted upon at a
special election next Saturday, the
11th Instant, I desire to say that
Jthoro is nothing sought or asked for
which is not deemed necessary to the
financing of the project and the
early completion of the line through
tho longth of the Rogue Itlver val
ley. No unfair advantages are desired
"by me. In thla enterprise tho advan
tages are believed to be mutual and I
believe I can be very helpful in the
promotion of the best interests of
your city. I do not come to antag
onize them nor to invite hostility by
seeking a so-called blanket franchise,
to appropriate tho use of your streets'
to. your dlscoirifort or disadvantage.
The franchiso is in1 the usual form.
It had to be made acceptable to capi
talists to got money for a costly im
provement such as this will be and
from which wo must wait some time
boforo wo can hope for a return of
profits, That time will depend upon
tho growth and development of your
splendid resources in this valley. Wo
pin our faith to such growth and such
.development as present favorable
conditions Justify, otherwise there
would be no Issue of a street railway
' franchiso hero in connection with our
proposed interurbnn line connecting
all tho towns of tho valley.
Lot mo say, In answer to some ob
jections' I have hoard, that I have
novor entertained nn idea of running
lino through tho narrow section of
your main street, nor Into the Plaza
or through your parks. Neither is It
Intended to double track your street;
soma of them might bo In tho distant
future when your city had a popu
lation of many thousands. Thai
would bo decided by them, if tho
question arose within fifty years, be
cause the operation of this franchiso
,J, within Bpeclflc terms, to be un-
der the reasonable regulation of the
city council.
Tho franchise carries the usual
provisions as to grading and Improve
ment of streets, placing .upon the rail
way company the liabilities as to
bearing Its proportionate share of
the expenses, such "as you will find
in other cities. We cannot dig up
the streets at will, but where it is
necessary to be done to construct
our line we must make repairs and
restorations so as to establish "the
same in good order and condition as
soon as practicable and without un
necessary delay."
Read the franchise and you will
find that tho objection that there
is an absence of provision for the
protection of the streets Is due to a
misunderstanding or lack of knowl
edge of its terms.
To meet an objection raised by a
gentleman in the Ashland Commer
cial club, that the franchise was not
sufficiently specific In requiring that
having once begun tho work of .con
struction of the lino on a street, I
should prosecute tho same to comple
tion within a reasonable time, I have
placed with Mr. M. F. Eggleston of
a special committee of said club tho
following letter and another copy has
been given him for filing as recorder
of your city:
"Ashland, Oregon, Juno 7, 1910.
I Intend to accept the Ashland fran
chise, If granted, In good faith and
promise as part of my acceptance to
file an agreement In writing to begin
construction within one year, as pro
vided, and to prosecute tho work in
good faith continuously and complcto
the same In a reasonable time, un
avoidable delays beyond my control
not to be charged againEt me.
(Signed) "JNO. R. ALLEN."
'If this franchise Is granted, I ex
pect to set about earnestly to build
the lino as soon, as possible. Inves
tigation will show you, I hope, that
that is my method of business and
that franchises are not sought by mo
for mere purposes of exploitation. If
Ashland wants an intorurban lino
placing her In frequent and conveni
ent communication with tho whole
Rogue River valley, It may bo signi
fied by your approval of this fran
chise, which will bo presented to you
as c'ty ordinance No. 426.
I may say that from what I have
recently learned of tho conditions
here, it is quite probablo I would
make an early extension of tho line
to your state normal school, if tho
state In Its wisdom shall continue
that useful institution.
Furthermore, tho lino would bo
thonco extended to the Wagner soda
springs as soon as the conditions
would warrant, for, as I concolvo,
these springs In the upper valley, are
sure to become popular becauso of
their flno potable waters and the
thorapoutlc properties of somo of
them.
Tholr location, too, In such a splen
did sconlc environment, with tho fine
Invigorating mountain air, will
strengthen tho attraction' which these
places afford.
I ask the voters to glvo fair con
sideration to this franchise In justlco
to their Interests and to those of tho
valley generally. I havo largo Intor-i
ests of my own in this valley.
I beg to assure you I am as deeply
Interested in tho welfare of tho1
Rogue River country as any of you,
and as to the proposition submitted,
to you, I believe I can bo of very
great service to the city of Ashland.
Respectfully,
JOHN R. ALLEN. '
