First Skirmish Won in Figh

QUESTION GIVEN TO
ORDINANCE COMMITTEE
Councilman Strain Succeeds in Having
Authority Given Committee of
Which lie i Chairman-City At
torney Excused from Serving.

The proposition as to whether or
not the Pacific Power q Light COM
pany and the Pacific Telephone COM
pany shall be required to place their
wires Underground on the business
streets is now in the hands of the or
dinance committee of the city coun-
ell and that committee will make a
thorough investigation of the matter
with view to drafting an ordinance
calling for the improvement. This
action was taken by the council last
evening following the presentation of
a petition by the ladies of the Civic
club asking that the wires on the
main streets be grounded.
Strain Leads Move.
The motion to refer the matter to
the ordinance committee of which he
himself is chairman, was made by
Councilman Strain and was seconded
by Councilman Dyer. In introducing
his motion, Mr.. Strain stated that he
had no desire to force the matter up
on the council but simply wished to
have it considered. The city has
shown great deal of zeal for public
Improvement recently" he said,
"and, inasmuch as we are now going
to spend $4,000 or $4,000 for paw
ing, l think it is the proper time to
consider the proposition of grounding
power wires. Therefore, in order to
get the matter before the council,
make a motion that the city attorney
and the ordinance committee look
into the matter, and if they deem ii
advisable, to draft an ordinance for
submission to the council"
City Attorney Excused.
City Attorney Roy Raley asked to
be relieved of the duty of assisting in
the investigation for the reason that
the firm to which he belongs has act
ed as legal council for the Pacific
Power & Light company at various
times He was accordingly excused.
Montgomery is Opposed.
Before the motion was put, Coun-
Gilman Montgomery stated that he
was not in sympathy with the move
for the reason that he deemed it in
consistent to ask the power company
to spend more money on its equip
ment at the same time it is being
asked to reduce its rates. There is
no doubt that the East Oregoniar
has the popular side of the question,
he said, ''but the company has rights
and | think they should be consider
ed thoroughly so that no mistake be
made"
Councilman Strain replied that, a:
chairman of the ordinance commit
tee he would see that everyone ha:
a fair opportunity of presenting facts
bearing on the matter. The fact thai
