Ordered to Expend
$50O,OO0 for Improve
ments by Order

The Portland Railway, Light G.
Power company must spend not
less than 100000 in the next
nine months on maintenance,
construction and reconstruction
of track and paving of the Port
land city railway systems.
This requirement is set forth
in a letter to Franklin T. Griffith,
president Of the company, by Fred
G. Buchtel, public service COM
missioner, this morning.
Buchtel also requests the CO.
operation of the company in CIV
ing preference in employment on
this work to married men and ex-
service men and suggests that the
improvement program be gotten
under way as early as possible.
In his letter to Griffith Buchtel
calls attention to the provisions
in the commission IS order of 1920
increasing rates on the Portland
lines, which required the expendi-
ture by the company of $819,95O
in the rehabilitation of the com
pany's layout. This amount, 1t
is pointed out does not include
expenditures for current main
tenance but only took into con-
sideration deferred maintenance

"While other factors were ad-
vanced by the company as being OF
much greater Importance, this
commission nevertheless did give
consideration to the deferred
maintenance and reconstruction
program as outlined and are at
this time directing your attention
to certain pertinent facts
