Requested Endorsement of
Hill Line Before Di

An interesting: Mission of I lie
chamber of commerce directors Is
iiutirlpatnl for next Tuesday noon

ers' organizations oxking public en
dorsement ' of the Hill lino .project
arc up for consideration.
Thus fnr the' chamber Iiuh taken
no definite slnml on the rail mail
bituntiou because the ilirectm's by
A-sort of tacit figreciuent feel that
it Is a "laurliy" situation.
R. C. Oroesberk. vice president of
tho chamber,, Is nltorney for the
Strahorn railroad, which, It is
claimed by many. Is seeking to bot'
tie up the city and thus prevent the
favorable entrance of the Hill lines
ta this city. i
Any direct slap at the Strahorn
line ifor Its reputed tactics In the
present railroad frjbt -would,. In a
meaiure, bo an affront to the acting
president of to chamber of com
merce, the members believe, and
for that reason tho directors thus
far iavo .been silent during the
present controversy.
ltesululion I'lnnncil
ll Is understood that a plan Is on
foot for the presentation of a reso
lution at tho meeting of director.)
Tuesday in which the Hill lines and
any other lino 'would be "welcomed
ta Klamath Falls," although such
a resolution, f presented, would
have no reference to the present
fight In tho city council over the
Sixth street franchise which was
adopted by the council and vetoed
yesterday by Mayor Goddard.
Such a resolution, It .was hinted,
would servo as aa. answer to the
farmers' organizations which asked
public endorsement ot the Hill "rail
road plans and would at the same
time keep tho chamber of commerce
out of any controversy over tjc
Strahorn franchise.
Tho'lotters are on file at the
chamber of commerce and are sched
uled f.r presentation to tho di
rectors at 4 their Tuesday meeting.
Widospread Interest is being mani
fested In what action, If any, is
tnken by tho directors.
Ono proposal was advanced today
that such matters should be pre
sented to tho chamber of commerce
membership as a whole for a refer
endum vote In order to relievo tho
directors from the responsibility of
putting tho chamber on record on
this and similar questions ot county
wide Importance. Such n change,
however, would necessitate a change
of tho organisation's by-laws.
