He aid he told them It was a good thing they weren't out the night before, r the police would be looking around for them.

Why didn't Wayne go to work at his trade of plumbing when he came out here from the Kast. in stead of starting out to commit crime? i;od only knows how many other crimes he committed between Novem ber, when he arrived, and January, when lie was arrested.

RIGHT OF WAY UNSETTLED Mayor and City Attorney Have Made ,"Xo Move Since Council Itejcoted Plan for Kxciiange of Concessions With Itailrond. In passing a resolution authorising the City Auditor to advertise for bids for construction of the substructure of the new Broadway bridge, the Execu tive Board at a special 'session yes terday afternoon set In motion proceed ings that will give Portland an In crease in bridge facilities. The bids, as authorized yesterday. will be opened December 30. and will rause. It is expected, the commence ment of the work early In the new year. Accompanying each bid must be check for 10 per cent of the total amount of the bid. which check will be forfeited in case the succesfful bidder falls to take the Job after it has been awarded to hi in. When bids for the superstructure of the bridge are to be solicited lias not yet been announced, but there will be considerable time olapse before work on that portion of the viaduct can be gin. The substructure, for which bids have been authorized, is made up prin cipally of the piers, on which the bridge is to rest There is but one thing at present that Is threatening; to delay work on the bridge after the contracts have been let. and that Is securing the rights of way from the railroad companies over land owned by them. Several months ago the Mayor and City Attor ney were authorized to negotiate for the rights of way desired, and to get a fair valuation of the property a number of men were asked to give as sistance. These negotiations resulted In the plan for a.9 exchange of conces sions between the rlty and the railroad companies representing the Harr'man Interests. It Involved the vacation of a number of East Side streets, and this aroused the opposition of many peo ple, causing the Council to reject the plan at its last meeting. After rejecting the plan or exenang Ing concessions with the railroad com panies, the Council again referred the matter to the Mayor and the City At tomey, with Instructions for them to make negotiations for the rights or way. Thus the matter Is now where It was almost a year ago, as far as the rights of way for tha bridge are concerned. Whon asked yeiterday If anything had been done to carry out the last direction from the Council. Mayor Si mon said that he had taken no action In the matter yet.
