system obviates needless handling Of

about as handsome as can be seen

OVERHAULING
FRANCHISE ON
FRONT STREET

For the purpose of revising an or
dinance granting a franchise on
Front street to the Portland, Eugene
& Eastern Railroad company, so
that it will be satisfactory to all in
volved, the committee on rules is
holding meeting this afternoon with
representatives of the road, and the
Oregon Electric Railroad company
Mayor Lachmund has indicated his
objections to the ordinance, and un-
less they are removed, he will no
doubt veto it. His main objections
are that the terms virtually grant a
franchise to the Southern Pacific;
that its provisions permits 1t to be
transferred or assigned, and that
there is an absence of a provision
requiring the company to pave be-
tween the rails.
The committee will likely not be
ready to submit a report tonight as
the franchise is long, and it will re-
quire much time to pass upon it and,
after it is passed on, a new draft
will be necessary.
