WONT BUILD IT DRAWBRIDGE ACROSS THE LONG TOM AT LIVERPOOL CROSS ' ING. . Petiiion" for it Denied by Benton County Court Cost of Struc- ; - ture Would be too Great Graduated at Philomath, At an adjourned meeting last week; the county court denied the petition of taxpayers in the south ern end of 'the county for con struction of a bridge over the Long Tom at Liverpool . crossing. The petition was presented to the court a couple of months ago. It - was signed by a large number of tax payers. All the members of the court went out to the scene, taking along Frank Miller of Albany, who is a bridge expert. After figuring on the probable cost, Mr. Miller submitted a written report, estima ting that the cost of the structure would not be lsss than $2,000 and that it might cost $2,500. pn ac count of the expense, the members of the court denied the .petition A fact that increased the cost of the structure is that it had to be,a drawbridge. In his report he refers to the bridge atBundy crossing, and says it will be found to be useless- as a drawbridge if occasion requires its use as such,The was formerly a connty bridge at Liverpool crossing but it was torn down by order of United States engineers when Long Torn was. used a couple of years ago by steamboats running to Mon roe. .
