I think It is not to the best in terests of the city of Klamath Falls. Oregon, to grant this exclusive fran chise and license to one railroad company, since It will have the nec essary effect of excluding other railroad companies fully as worthy a8 the O. C. & E. The granting of exclusive fran chises Is expressly prohibited by section 111 of the charter and franchises can be granted by ordi nance only, whereag this Is a reso lution. The day has long since passed when exclusive franchises, licenses or grantg are being made by cities to railroads or other public cor porations. Kxperlence In the past has taught us that exclusive fran chises such n, that granted by the common council In the above in stance, are not to the best interests of the people of the community, but highly detrimental. In the resolution which I am dis approving the provision Is made that the O. C. & E. shall put In overhead crossings, only when the city demnads the installation of such crossings by all other rail roads operating in this town. This, on the face of it, I think, Is not correct bceause the city should reserve the right to require the In stallation of these crossings on any particular railroad operating In the city. The above objections, In my mind, are sufficient to compel me to disapprove the resolution. However, there are a great many other objections not as Important as the one I have specified,, tbat could be urged against It. The necessary effect of thlB resolution Is to bottle up the town on behalf of the O.

Practically all the farm organiations from the great rail roadless districts of Klamath county filed letters with the chamber of commerce yesterday, urging that organization to come to the front on the question of additional railroad de velopment. The same sentiments that were expressed in a majority ; of the letters were presented before the Secretary Work hear j ings a little over a week ago, when the need of transportation iwas forcibly pointed out, particularly by Dr. F. M. Trout of Malin, one of the best advised men on railroad needs in Klam ath county. Most of the letters urged support to the entrance of the Hill lines into the Klamath country, tending to show that the country districts of Klamath have a warm spot in, their heart for the Hill empire building lines. The following organizations submitted letters bearing on different phases of the vital question: Klamath Wool Grow ers, Farmers' Society of Title Lake, Klamath Irrigation Dis trict, Malin Commercial club, and Charles W.
