Portland Car
FaresRenlaiin
At Old Mark

Patrons of the Portland street
railway system viii continue, for
the time being at least, to ride
for six cents.
Holding that the solution of
the street railway problem in
Portland does not lie in increased
fares but rather in an assump-
tion by the city as a whole of
some of the public burdens now
borne by the car riders the Ore
gon public service commission,
in an order issued this morning
holds final action on the appli-
cation of the Portland Railway
Light and Power Company for
increased fares, in abeyance un-
til after the people of Portland
can have an opportunity of ex-
pressing their sentiments to-
ward an assumption by the city
of these burdens, holding out
a prospect of a fare even lower
than the six cent fare now in
effect if such action is taken.
Included in the recommendations
of the commission is that of city
ownership and maintenance of the
rails of the street railway system as
part. Of the city's system of improv-
ed highways The absorption by the
city of public burdens aggregating
approximately 100000 annually is al
so suggested in the order which sug-
gests that these questions be put up
to vote Of the people at the special
election May 81. Included in these
public burdens are the maintenance
of paving, bridge rentals. franchise
taxes, car licenses and free transport
tation of city employees.
Public Ownership Urged
"We are not prepossessed with mu-
nicipal ownership and operation Of
the street car system as a whole" the
order reads, "but we do believe that
Che street car tracks are part of the
streets of Portland and as such these
streets should be owned from curb to
curb and maintained as any other
streets In the purchase of the tracks
and the relief Of the public burdens
lies the prospect Of a reduced fare
and the tax payers opportunity to
assume an equitable proportion Of the
expense of the transit system"
Commissioner H. H. Corey dissents
from the majority opinion which Is
signed by Commissioners Fred G..
Buchtel and Fred A. Williams The
people of Portland have already de-
clared themselves as opposed to as
suming any Of the public burdens"
referred to in the order according to
Corey who declares for a fare of at
least seven cents with one cent addi-
tional for transfers.
