16 TIIE MORXIXG OREGOMAX, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER G. 1919. BRIDGE TRAFFIC TO BE RULED STRICTLY Street Cars and Trucks Must Be Further Apart. CITY ACTION UNANIMOUS Ordinance to Protect Life on Four Spans to Be Enforced Immediately. Stringent regulations of street car and vehicular traffic over the Morri son and Burnside bridges, and mild regulation over the Broadway and O.-W. R. & N. bridges, recommended by Police Lieutenant Lewis, were adopted by the city council yester day, effective immediately. The regulations over the Morrison and Burnside bridges provide that street cars shall maintain a sufficient interval from, each other, that two street cars operating in the same di rection shall not be on the same span at the same time. They provide that the driver of any loaded vehicle of 4000 pounds or more shall main tain an interval of at least 30 feet behind any preceding loaded truck traveling in the same direction. Vehicles Mast Keep Places. On the Burnside and Hawthorne bridges and approaches slowly mov ing vehicles and motor trucks shall keep to the center roadway and all vehicles shall keep to the right of the center line of the roadway. The ordinance further provides that on the Broadway, O.-W. R. & N. and Morrison bridges, slowly moving vehicles must keep in a column next to the right curb line. No vehicle will be permitted to cross to the left of the center line and it -will be un lawful for the driver of any vehicle to jockey or maneuver for any advan tage of position. In addition to these specific pro visions, the police department will station men on the bridges to regu late traffic so as to allow the street cars to move rapidly across the Burn side and Morrison bridges, and elimi nate congestion as far as possible under the new regulations. Rulea Vnonimonfllj Adopted. The regulations for traffic over bridges were adopted by unanimous vote of the city council, although City Commissioner Bigelow opposed what he termed far too stringent regulation over the Morrison and Burnside bridges. Mr. Bigelow main tained that he was mindful of the re sponsibility for the safety of the peo ple crossing the bridges and that he favored such regulation as was neces sary, but no more. Mayor Baker, in the morning dis cussion, which at times waxed warm, contended that he favored regulation which would permit but one truck passing over the bridges during a day, if such regulation was neces sary to protect life. A joint meeting of the city and county commissions was held in the afternoon, at which time reports made by Harrington, Howard ft Ash, bridge engineers, and by State Highway En gineer Purcell were read. These re ports showed defects which exist in the Morrison and Burnside bridges. According to both reports repairs es timated to cost in the neighborhood of $200,000 would extend the life of the two bridges. liUKincrr to Kile Opinion. After Commissioner Bigelow con tinued to maintain that the regula tions effected in the ordinance were too stringent the mayor requested the state highway engineer, the bridge engineer of the county and the city engineer to study the' provisions of the ordinance and file an opinion on it. All members of the county board of commissioners and all members of the city council except Commissioner Bigelow indorsed the ordinance, agreeing that in their opinion it was not too stringent. Commissioner Holman explained that the repairs suggested in the re port had not been made, although some repair had been placed in both bridges during the past year. The major repairs could not be made, he said, because of lack of funds. Com missioner Holman said that the time for thinking of placing $200,000 in the two bridges was past and that it was not . too early to begin planning for new bridges. Controversy Is Ended. At the close of the meeting. Mayor Baker asked both bodies to go on record for two new bridges. This suggestion did not carry, as County Commissioners Hoyt and Muck said that an investigation of the bridges was planned by the state highway commission to begin next Monday and any such action should await the report on the investigation. The promulgation of traffic regu lations over the Morrison and Burn side bridges ends a controversy which waged for some weeks be tween tne city and county over authority for regulation of traffic over bridges. After numerous con ferences between legal representa tives of both city and county, it was decided that the authority rested with the city. ROAD CONTRACT AWARDED (Continued From First Page.) enabled to start a little work else where which could not' otherwise be undertaken for a year. This work will be the construction of a unit of about nine miles in the Wallowa canyon, on the Joseph-Minam highway, bids for which will be advertised for the De cember meeting. It is a winter job, . as no one uses the canyon in winter, whereas work in the canyon is im possible in summer because there is no means of detouring traffic. From Mayville to Thirty-Mile creek, a seven-mile section of the John Day highway, the commission has prom ised to grade and gravel, the county having raised by bonds and public subscription half the cost. This sec tion will connect two improved sec tions, but at present the road Is im passable. The commission will ad vertise this work for the December meeting and if funds are available will award' the contract. Road to Be Widened. Another project hinging on finances is the proposed bridge across Youngs bay, near Astoria. It will be adver tised for the January meeting. Considering a 15-foot road too nar row, the commission decided to widen 1 the road from Ashland to Jenny creek to 16 feet, exclusive of the ditches. The state and county will share the Increased cost on a 50-50 basis. Although it will involve an expense of several thousand dollars, the com mission agreed to the request of Mult nomah county to make a thorough in vestigation of the Hawthorne, Morrl son and Burnside bridges. Every rivet in the bridges will have to be tapped and there are innumerable other details to be examined. Curry count'.' prlrlrt--sfd the oommis- $98,000 by bonding its limit and wants this money put on the road between Port Orford and Gold Beach. The couuy officials asked for assurances irom .tne commission mat mis puna money will be matched. The com mission reiterated its former promise to have the money matched. Following adjournment yesterday Commissioners Booth and Burgess, with Highway Engineer Nunn and District Engineer Bennett, left for Hood River to inspect the Hood River-Mosier work. This afternoon they will examine the ground be tween Seufert and Deschutes river and determine on a location, this be ing the last section of the Columbia highway which has not been located. Engineer Bennett recommended the lower route, but people at The Dalles want the road to run along the bench, iuu ieet aoove tne Columbia.

The newly-constructed concrete dam across the Siuslaw river at Swiss- home, near the mouth of Lake creek, which Gustav Warthun had about fin ished and which was to have been used in connection with a large saw mill there, was washed out by the high water Monday, according to W. K. Wise, who resides near there, and who arrived here this- afternoon. The dam was over 100 feet long and Mr. Warthun had expended over $7000 upon it. He had not yet built the wings on the banks of the river, and when the freshet came the water went around both ends of the dam with the swiftness of a mill-race and soon undermined the whole structure. Only a few days ago the Siuslaw Bccm company, a Detroit, Mich., cor poration, instituted suit against War thun,' seeking to restrain him from further construction on the dam and to compel him to remove it on the grounds that it would greatly hinder the company's logging operations.

"She called me a "slacker and then left roe to go to California," testified E. M. Atkinson of Delia L. Atkinson. Somewhat similar was the evidence in the case of P. J. Scott against May Scott.

ROSEBURG, Or., Nov. S. (Special.) A beautiful park is to be offered the city. Mayor Hamilton said today. The grounds consist of several acres bordering on the west bank of the South Umpqua river and are owned by S. D. Evans, a retired prune grow er and farmer, who has made a ten tative proposal to deed the property to the city on the condition that a bridge will be built on the site of the structure that recently toppled into the river. The particular spot is one of rare beauty. The river at that point af fords boating facilities and in the summer is one of the finest bathing resorts in the county. That the city will undoubtedly ac cept the proposition, and' in conjunc tion with the county will build the bridge, is the general belief. Linn County Quota Is Raised. ALBANY. Or., Nov. 5. (Special.)
