Franchise talk and public stewardship in St Johns notes
The city council tabled a tele phone franchise request as harshly judged by critics who warn the 25 year street rights would overreach. A Portland style 1 cent gross earnings tax and strict toll limits are urged to protect ratepayers while officials remind public duties outweigh private gain. A Multnomah official cautions public office must serve the people, not private interests, as road and macadam projects are discussed alongside criticism of local papers and defense of the St Johns Commercial Association.
