NEW RULES DRAFTED Captains and Pilots Instructed to Avert Bridge Delays, SOLUTION OF STEAMBOAT MEN Rather Than Have Draws Closed Two Hours Each Day, RIvermen Propose to Aid In Facil itating Traffic. NEW RULES FOR CAPTAINS AND PILOTS. Instructions to captains and pilots of freight and passenger steamers regarding signals for bridge draws at Portland. Oregon: First Weather and water conditions favorable, avoid signaling for draw un til vessel Is In position to pass through. If for any cause you are delayed after signal has been given, reverse signal, thus Informing the brldgetender to close the draw. Second When steamers or vessels have passed through the draw and an ap proaching vessel would cause unneces sary delay, do not signal, but wait until accumulated bridge traffic has passed, as draws will not remain open longer than five minutes at one time. Third Remember at all times to avoid unnecessary delay to the bridges, as the rights of others must be considered and respected. A. B. GRAHAM. H. HOLMAN. Committee. Instructions to captains and pilots drafted by the committee of rivermen with a view to avoiding vexatious delays to bridge traffic by the opening of draws, were sent yesterday to all those who at tended Thursday's conference. Copies were also sent to bridge foremen and tenders and their co-operation In mini mizing delays was requested. These rules embody the suggestion pre sented at that meeting and after ap proval by those interested It will be pre sented to County Judge Webster, with tho hope of obviating the necessity of closing the draws two hours each day, one in the morning and one In the evening. Under the co-operation proposed be tween captains and bridgetendcrs It is thought that much delay to bridge pedes trians will be avoided, and that this will far better satisfy all parties than to close the bridges for any specified period. Upon receipt of an agreement by all steamboat interests to follow out the instructions as prepared by the committee, this remedy for tho relief of bridge-travel congestion will be submitted to County Judge Web ster, and he will bo urged upon to give It a trial at least. RIvermen still emphatically announce their desire to do all In their power to prevent delay to people using the bridge. but are equally emphatic in their inten tion to prevent the draws being closed during any specified portion of the day In their opinion there Is absolutely no question as to the Government s author Ity to provide for commerce on navigable streams, and before permitting the bridges to be closed to them they will take the matter to the War Department by way of protest.. To Hold Bridge Meeting. A meeting of citizens has been called for this evening at the Bast Side court room at i:30 o'clock, corner Grand avenue and East Morrison street, in the Interest of the movement to close the bridge drawn at stated times.
