suit 'in great Injury to the business
Interests of the city, a committee on
local business men, composed of J.
W. Perkins, Henry Richardson, A. C.
Marsters, Horace Marsters, A. Sulz
man and several other heavy tax
payers, appeared before County
Judge Vonacott and Commissioners
Ryan and WUey this "morning and
offered verbnl protest agninst any
attempt that may be made to influ
ence the court In eliminating the
present, bridge in the erection of an
other structure
J. W. Perkins addressed the court
at some length, -and in so doing,
brought a' number of important mat
ters to their attention. He said tho
taxpayers of Roseburg were not op
posed to another bridge, considering
that the city is growing and the
time will Bopn be at hand when
two 'brieves will be necessary in
handling the increasing traffic. It
was Mr. Perkins' contention that the
county maintain its present bridge,
while the city can erect an additional
structure in the event such was neces
sary. "I believe that every taxpayer
in Roseburg will favor another bridge
In the near future," said Mr. Perkins,
"but I am not Inclined to think they
desire to) have the present struc
ture eliminated. As you gentlemen
are fully aware, a number of people
have Invested thousands In Improve
ments, and to a great degree, these
Investments have been based upon
the present lineB of travel. This does
not only apply to the citizens of Rose
burg, but to the farmers who reside
west of the city."
Henry Richardson, of the Fuller
ton & Richardson Drug Company,
said he was personally acquainted
with a large number of West Rose
burg citizens, nearly all of whom
are opposed to moving the bridge
from Its present site. Mr. Richard
son said he believed the county
should maintain its present bridge,
leaving the erection of a second struc
ture to tbe people of Roseburg.
A. C. Marsters was of the same
opinion as the previous speakers
contending that any attempt to move
,the bridge from the present site

would result In strong opposition. Mr.
Manners claimed tbat a majority of
the buildings erected during the past
few years were based upon present
lines of travel, which if changed,
would result In great Injustice to the
taxpayers.
After listening to the arguments,
the members of the court expressed
themselves as satisfied. In fact, Com
missioners Wiley and Ryan said that
in the event a new bridge was erect
ed It would be located on the present
site.
With a majority of the court on
record favoring the present site It
does not seem probable that any at
tempt wfll be made to change the lo
cation of the bridge as advocated by
certain Interests.
The appearance of the committee
before the court this niomlng fol
lowed the current report to the ef-
feet that an attompt would be made
t0 change the site of the bridge In
the event a new structure was erect-
