MONEY TO BUILD
SCOTTSBURG
BRIDGE ASKED
(Continued from pnge 1.)
adopted at the last meeting:
BR IT BESOLVRD. by Umpqua
Highway Association, Diamond
I liakb io tne sen, that wiil-Jlli
AS. with the completion of the
Roosevelt Highway from Beeds
port to Coos Bay, the ferry nt
Scottsburg will be Inadequate to
carry tho traffic, and Bald ferry
with its narrow and difficult ap
proaches will endanger the travel
ins public; and said ferry being
ferry.
1113 IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
that we urge the county court to
take immediate action looking to
the construction of such, , bridge;
and; to -provide funds therefor by
loaning to Umpqua Road Improve
ment District.; sufficient : funds
other funds and not necessary for
Immediate use, to enable said im
provement diBtrict to pay Us pro
portionate costs of such bridge;
and that the : county further bor
row from other funds a sufficient
amount to pay the county's share
of tho construction of such bridge,
the amount so borrowed from spe
cial funds to bo . repaid, by said
highway Improvement district, and
the county's shnre to bo replaced
from the special fund from which
it is borrowed by accruing taxes,
if such arrangement can be legal
ly effected. 1
Mr. Rice stated that the early
construction of tho bridge Is very,
important because of the Roose
velt highway connection between
Marsh field and Reedsport, which
will bring a lnrge volume of traf
fic over th e Reedsport Drain riad.

While It is known, Mr. Bice said,
that the county has not the money
available, in the fceucrat fund lo
build the bridge, he recommended
that the court borrow from the
bond redemption fund or from
some other source sufficient
money to build the bridge : and
then reimburse the bund fund as
the money became available.
District to Aid :
The bridge will cost, it Is esti
mated, about $157,000. The Vmp
qui Improvement district will be
nhle to carry . one-third of the ex
pen so, and it is ' hoped that- the
state will eventually come iu for
one-third. In the meantime It Is
asked that the.count put up the
additional sum necessary and se
cure reimbursement from' the strdo
Vhen the roid Is fiuallv accepted
as a state highway, which is ex1
nectd within a comparatively few
years.
The ennrt stated that It hopes to
have sufficient funds available
next year, but that at present tho
money Is not on hand. The ques
tion of borrowing from some fund
to furnish the meons for construc
tion is one which involved a lecal
nitcHtlnn, which is now before the
Sunreme court. .
Tho attention of tho court was
called to the fact thpt the money
In tho bond redemption fund is
bearing only 2 per cent interest,
while the cost of operating the
ferry at Scottsburg is consider
nhlv more than the Interest that
would be secured on tho nnmev
necessnrv to mi lid the brldire. and
the count v would snve mnuev bv
loaning the monev from the bond
redemption fund to the bridge pro
ject. Among the snenkfirs were R. J.
Hubbard, Spencer Hlnndale and
M. R. Ryan, the question being
verv thoroughly discussed.
While the court freely expressod
Its desire to build the bridge at
the earliest possible moment, and
nledsed its supnort for the pro
tect, no assurance was given that
the money could be made forth
coming at once, but it was agreed
to trive the proposition thorough
consideration. The matter, how
ever, was continued over for a fur
ther heirlng thlH nrtornoon, at'
which timo the advlm of the dis
trict attorney regarding tho legal
status of the proposed loan could
be discussed, and It is possible
that the court, after determining
Us rights In borrowing from other
funds, mny meet the request of the
delegation. .
