EXPECT PROTEST
ON S. P. ENTRY TO
CITV PARK SITE
Deal Ringed on Pro
curing St Right ;
TO SUBMIT FRANCHISE
Matter Expected to Come
Before Council Next .
Monday Night
That there owald he a protest to
come form to the granting of the
Central Pacific and O. C. St E.,
request that these railroads be per
mitted the use of Klamath avenue,
was authentically indicated yes
terday. . It was reported that the
Oregon trunk railroad had already .
telegraphed Us Intentions ot pro
testing before the city council at
Its last meeting Monday, tut no
record of a telegraph was found
here.
The reason for the Oregon trunk
protest was said to be that the
granting ot the franchise . would
close the last link around Lake
Ewauna that Is now. open to an
other line reaching the lake shore,
other than the Southern Pacific.
When the Southern Pacific, or
Central Pacific, submitted Its writ
ten offer for the purchase ot tha
Riverside park property It speci
fied that It be permitted to reach
the park via Klamath avenue and
a Y brige across Link river. The
Southern Pacific had been stopped
at the Weyerhaeuser property from
continuing its present line along
the shore line. It would run la
along Klamath avenue.
At the last meeting of tha city
council it was understood that R. C.
Groesbeck, attorney representing
Robert E. Strahorn who submitted
the bid for the park property,
would draw up with J. C. Carnahan,
a bid In more acceptable form. The
bid was to be accompanied by. spec
ifications which could be Incorpor
ated in an ordinance, and showing
just what the railroad Interests
wanted in the way of franchises
to use the streets.
"It Is my understanding that the
city charter clearly provided In what
manner franchises shall be granted,
and the use of the streets amounts
to a franchise," said one ot the In
terested parties yesterday. "The
purchase of the city park property
Is one proposition and the granting
of the franchise another, and I am
not ready to approve ot the method
in which the matter was submitted
by Mr. Strahorn." ' -'
Members ot the park board said
that none ot the protests had been
registered with them. They nave
made recommendations that the
park property be sold by the city
and It Is now up to the council, la
their opinion. They expressed
unofficially to the effect that It
was their opinion that property tn
the neighborhood of Klamath ave
nue would be enhanced In value by
the presence of the Tatlroad.
The matter is expected to corns
before the city council Monday
night If Groesbeck end Carnahan
hare the papers drawn up tor tha
consideration ot the council.
