Interests of tho Blrahoni company,
W. A. Wleat, of tho Klamath Defel
opmenl company, and Charles Wood
Eberlsln, who appeared In hohalf of
the board or trutleei or the Htrahorn
railroad. Tho three speakers declared
In atatemonla that tho council should
dofer tho paving ot that unit until
later on at a tlmo when tho city
would bo but tor able to finance It
program, also during tho Interim, tba
probability thnl Mr. Hlrahorn might
bo able to lining a HOO.Ouo bond
liiue which would permit the Im
mediate construction ot tho termin
al alio.
Attorney-Oroeabeck mndo a plea
that In view of tho substantial man
ner In which the citizens of Klamath
Falle had voted 1300,000 bonda to
finance the Btrahora road, beneflta
would accrue to the city with tho
continuation ot tho building program
or the road after the IntorMate Com

Ita way hero, buslneaexnandlac In

beck.dsclared that It waa advantage
oas'tcthe city, aa well aa the finan
cial Interests bare, to defer the pav
ing program at present. Ho present
ed a remonstrance petition agalnat
the paving1 program hut atated It waa
not a legal one a It did not bear a
majority of the signature) of the
own ore of tola within the contem
plated Improvement, man)' owner
being non-rraldonta ot thl city.
The council took the matter under
consideration and suggested that at
tho next meeting, a legal remon
atranco could bo presented after the
proposed paving unit had been
brought up for Ita first reading.
Should tho petition bear a sufficient
number of algnatures, tho council
could at Ita discretion, either aban
don tho work or defer. It for further
consideration at a moro opp? tune
time. The Btrahorn Interest alated
that within thla week, an effort
would bo mado In thla last named
direction.
