THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1904.
TO RX BRIDGE RATES
CONFERENCE OF RAILWAY AND
COUNTY OFFICIALS HELD.
Revenue to Be Received for Cars
Crossing Madison and Burnside
Bridges May Be Raised.
Bates for the passing of street-cars over
the Burnside and Madison-street bridges
will be fixed by the County Commission
ers' Court at the beginning of the January
term. The Madison-street bridge ie used
by the cars of the Oregon Water Power &
Railway Company, which pays only 5100
per montn ior tne privilege. ine .rorwana
Railway Company, now a part of the
Portland Consolidated Railway Company,
has paid $150 per month for running its
cars across the Burnside-street bridge.
The steel bridge is owned by the O. R. &
.. Co., and It receives whatever compen
sation the street railway company pays.
"What the amount is per month is a matter
only known positively by the two .cor
porations, but there are rumors out that
the monthly rental is more than the
county has been receiving from any one
of the other bridges. The county pays
5330 per month for the lease of the upper
deck of the steel bridge, so as to maice
it free for foot passengers. The county
also keeps the upper deck and approaches
in repair, and pays the wages of nve men
to operate tne onage. ine v. xi. o j.
Co. navs the salary of the foreman.
When the new Morrison-street bridge is
opened, next month, the city will receive
a rental which must not be less than
51000 oer month, estimated at a given fig
ure per car. It may amount -to much
more, but the contract provides that the
minimum amount monthly shall be 51000.
This money goes to pay the Interest on
the bonds. The county now receives 5150
per month from the Cits & Suburban Rail
wap Company, which it will lose when
the new deal begine. The county will also
have to employ and pay the salaries of
two additional men to operate tne new
bridge.
When the Madison-street bridge was
sold to the city, ten years ago, the East
Side Railway Company obtained a con
tract with the city for passing Its cars
over the bridge for a period of 30 years
for a monthly rental of 5100. The Oregon
vvntr Power & Railway Company, as
the successor of the East Side Railway
Company, claims to succeed to this con
tract. The County Court has never seen
It, and does notknow if there is such a
contract in existence, or not, or if the
citv officials have possession of a copy of
It. The County Court is disposed to raise
this rate, and may also attempt to break
the contract on the ground that the price
waid is totally Inadequate.
Before the consolidation of the Portland
Railway Company and the City & Subur
ban Railway Company it was expected
that both lines would use the Burnsiae-
strcet bridge next year, and the county
authorities naturally expected more reve
nue from the two companies than from
one, a total, say. of 5500 per month. Now
that consolidation has taken place, all
this Is changed, and the County Commis
sioners must fix matters up only with one
company. It will be necessary to provide
a rate which the railway company can
afford to pay. and which both the com
pany and the county officials will agree
to be reasonable and just. This, no doubt.
will be accomplished without difficulty. A
conference has been held between A. I
Mills, F. I. Fuller, C. F. Swigert and J. C.
Ainsworth. of the Portland Consolidated
Tinllwav Company, and Judge Webster
and Pnnntv Commissioners Barnes and
LJghtner.
SURRENDERS ITS FRANCHISE.
Portland Consolidated Railway Will
Not Help Pay for Bridge.
Through the withdrawal of its fran
chise for the Grand avenue road across
Sullivan's Gulch, the Portland Con
solldated Railroad Company may im
pose a. severe burden upon the property-owners
of the district assessed to
bear 75 per cent of the cost or con
btructlon of the steel bridge. The fol
lowing letter has been received at the
City Hall.
Portland. Dec 28. 1004. The Honorable
Mayor and Common Council, City Gentlemen
I am instructed by the Board of Directors to
Inform you that we have permanently dlscon
tlnued the operation of our line of electric rail
way on Grand avenue between the south line
of llolladay Addition and the north line of Bast
Davis street, and hereby relinquish all righto
and privileges upon this portion of said Grand
avenue granted ub by ordinanco No. 13,177.
We, therefore, beg to notify you that we will
not hereafter be responsible for any assess
ments, or otherwise, pertaining to the above
described portion of said Grand avenue.
.Respectfully yours.
C F. SWIGERT. Vice-President.
The withdrawal recalls to mind the
law necessitating railroads holding
franchises for roads that cross any
bridges, to bear 25 per cent of the
cost of construction. If the bridge is
now built, unloss a bonding law Is
passed that may serve to equalize the
cost of the bridge between this and
successive generations, the property
owners of the assessed district will be
forced to bear the entire cost of the
bridge.
For more than a yoar they have been
fighting against the construction of
this bridge and now, that the Port
land Consolidated has refused to stand
its share of the cost, it is possible that
the bridge will not be built. Insofar as
the proposed new Union-avenue bridge
will undoubtedly suffice for the ac
commodation of all traffic.
Notwithstanding the fact that re
pairs are being made to the present
Union-avenue bridge, it is thought that
they may only endure for a short time
and the new bridge will be necessary.
With this outlook it is probable that
the property-owners will be more vig
orous than ever in their protest
against the large bridge on the ad
joining street.
A bill will be Introduced at the next
legislature to provide for the sale of
bonds for Such improvements in lieu
of the present district assessment plan.
BRIDGE OPEN NEXT TUESDAY
Morrison-Street Structure Will Then
Be Ready for Traffic.
"If it is within human possibility, the
Morrison-street bridge will be open for
traffic next Tuesday."
Such was the statement of F. M. Butler,
president of tho Pacific Construction Com
pany, yesterday. In explanation of the
present delay. Mr. Butler eaid:
"This last delay has been caused by a
miscalculation in measuring the lengths of
16 diagonal bars. Not until these bars had
been placed In the bridge was the dis
crepancy in length discovered, and it was
necessary to remove tbem. We have ad
justed the lengths of half the number and
will place them In the bridge tomorrow.
The remaining bars we hope to have ad-
Justed in another day.
"All that will delay us when these bars
have been replaced will be the laying of
rails to accommodate the cars. The draw
Is ready to be turned, and the machinery
has been in condition to use for some
time.
"While I do not feel inclined to commit
myself. I feel that you may state that
the bridge will open for traffic next Tues
day, without fear of contradiction. This,
however. Is based upon the hope that
things will run as smoothly as we antici
pate."
Will Hear Timbermens' Petition.
ASTORIA. Or., Dec 30. (SpeciaL)
The arg-ument of the petition for tem
porary injunctions asked for in the
suits brought by the timber land syn
dicates against Clatsop County was
completed at a session of the Circuit
Court held this evening:. Judge Mc
Bride announced that he will render a
decision on next Monday or Tuesday.
The suits are to set aside the taxes on
the plaintiffs property for the year
1903, on the ground of unequal assess
ments, and the Injunctions asked are
to restrain the Sheriff from selling: the
property at tax sale.

TAXPAYERS FIXED LOCATION.
Site of New High School Building
Was Fixed by Resolution.
Resolved. That it is the sense of this meeting
that the directors be authorised to bond, the
district for the building of a substantial High
School building on the block now owned by
the district, bounded by East Thirteenth and
East Fourteenth, "Washington and Stark streets,
the construction to commence as soon as prac
ticable. And be It further
Resolved, That the building ehall be planned
sufficiently large for future needs.
THOMAS HISLOP.
The foregoing resolution was Introduced
at the taxpayers' meeting held Tuesday
night in the High School assembly nail.
After much discussion the resolution was
almost unanimously passed to the gratifi
cation of Mr. Hislop. who Introduced it.
Whitney I. Boise and other residents of
the East Side.
A most astonishing fact has developed
since the meeting. Hermann Wittenberg,
who read the resolution before the as
semblage, thought, at the time, that Its
text was precisely the same as one he had
or6nar,,d for the School Board. In the lat-
ter re30iution the clause providing for the
location of the new High ucnooi naa Deen
omitted
Much to his surprise and chagrin he
not only read Mr. HIslop's resolution stat
ing specifically that the school should be
erected on the block adjoining the Central
School, but after bitterly opposing and
advocating that the school be located at
gome point further south on the East Side,
which he deemed would prove a more
central location, the resolution was passed
and he was hopelessly defeated.
Among some residents of Portland- there
is apparently much conjecture as to
where the school will be built. It was
Mr. HIslop's resolution that was adopted
by the taxpayers of district No. 1 and as
this resolution specifically provided that
the school should be erected adjoining the
Central School, there is no question as to
Its location.
As was recommended by the board in
its annual report, the school is to cost
$100,000. will be constructed of stone and a
carefully-planned structure which will
meet all future requirements. It cannot
be said just when the work will com
mence, but it is probable that the ground
for the new High School will be broken
immediately after the first of the year.
