I think It is not to the best in

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. C. ft E. so that other

and Brown 113.
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. Eberlein, John
R. Reber, C. C. Hulet and F. M. Trout.
