Portland to vote on five year city lighting contract plan
City Commissioner John M. Mann urges Portland voters to approve a charter amendment allowing a five year city lighting contract instead of two. The change aims to secure competitive bids, lower lamp costs, and shift installation costs to the company, potentially saving $35,000 to $40,000 over five years and enabling $20,000 more lighting. Mayor Baker backs the effort and Sergeant Crane assisted in the survey.

Misleading Measure Urges No Vote On Oregon Interest Rates
A nearby voter guide argues against Measure 316 promising to prevent lower loan rates. It recalls Oregon’s early high interest, then 6 percent contract rate with 10 percent cap in underdeveloped areas, warning a 6 percent contract rate would pull capital from the state.
