Clackamas County
To Aid Equipping of
Bridge Rest Rooms
One half of the expense of equip
ping the rest rooms in the Willamette
river bridge piers will be paid by
Clackamas county. An order for the
appropriation of $1250, representing
exactly half of the cost, was issued J
Wednesday by the county court. The
order was signed by Commissioners
Proctor and Harris. It is stipulated
that the only expense to be borne by
the county is part of the installation
cost. The maintenance of the rest
rooms must be cared for by the muni
cipalities. The remainder of the cost is ex
pected to be taken care of by the cities
on each side of the bridge.
Nothing was ever lost by holding
your tongue.
