Four streetcar lines, the Woodlawn, Al berta. Vancouver and Broadway, will hereafter be routed across the Burnside bridge instead of the steel bridge, the O. R. & N. Company having objected to the further overloading of the latter struc ture by the streetcar corporation. When permission was given the traction com pany to run streetcars across the Steel bridge, only three linea were operated over it. Since then, the traffic has in creased enormously until it is so congest ed as to endanger the safety of the struc ture. "Streetcar traffic across the Steel bridge has been practically tripled dur ing the past three months," said General Manager O'Brien of the O. R. & N. "This Is due to the building of the new bridge across Sullivan's Gulch by the streetcar company, and the routing of cars across the Steel bridge that would otherwise use the Burnside bridge. We asked that the streetcar company lighten the loads on the Steel bridge and this has accordingly been accomplished. Hereafter four lines will use the Burnside bridge instead of the Steel." The Steel bridge Is not considered un safe by the railroad company but It is recognized that it will be some time be fore & new bridge can be built even after the work is authorized, which has not been accomplished yet, and it is desired to maintain the present structure in good . shape until the new bridge is ' ready to take Its place. At present, streetcar traf fic is badly congested on the Steel bridge. When the draw is open long lines of cars line up on both tracks and add a heavy burden to the hridg. It is said that the weight on the upper deck of the structure is more damaging than that carried by the lower deck, which Is used exclusively by trains of the Harriman lines.

I PRESIDENT WRITES REFUSAL EXECUTIVE BOARD RECEIVES LETTER FROM RAILWAY. Objections to Negotiations for Sew Franchise on the Proposed Madison Bridge. That the City Executive Board has no alternative in. the matter of de manding not less than $15,000 a year from the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, for annual toll for use of the proposed Madison-street bridge, is the contention of President B. S. Josselyn, of the company. He reviewed the case in a communication to the Board, filed at the City. Hall yesterday, and declined to enter into any negotiations with the municipality, looking toward the acceptance o,f a new franchise because he has an nounced that the corporation will not pay so high a rate, as it now pays but $1200 annually for its use of the pres ent structure. It is probable that the Executive Board will discuss the matter at the special meetllng, to be held Saturday morning at 8:30 o'clock, for the pur pose of considering bids for electrlci lighting, submitted by the Portland' Railway, Light & Power Company. President Josselyn's letter is In re ply to a resolution, adopted by the Executive Board last week, requesting the company to furnifch proposals for entering into an agreement for a new franchise, as called for in the act au thorizing the. Madison-street bridge. Following is the text: The Portland Railway. Light A Power Company haa received a copy of the resolu tion paeeed at ' your regular meeting held September "11. 1908, inviting said company to submit to you a propoaal or proposals, in Writing, for the surrender of thl company's present. lease, franchise and other rights and privileges it has or claims to have in, to and upon what la now known aa the Madlson atreet bridge, and approaches thereto, and for a lease to operate cars over and acre! a new bridge to be constructed across said river from Madison street on the West Side to Hawthorne avenue on the East Side there of, for a term expiring the 81st day of De cember, -A. D.' 1932, eaid proposal or pro posals to Include at least all. of tbe terms, conditions, provisions1, stipulations and agree ments mentioned or referred to in said sec tion 118 of the Portland charter as amended June 8, 190T. The Portland Railway. Light Power Com pany would be willing to surrender It pres ent .unexpired franchise on said bridge and accept a new franchise or lease to exolr December 31, 1832, increasing to a reasonable extent the yearly rental to be paid under such franchise; but as the power of the Ex ecutive Board of the City of Portland was expreesly limited by said section 118 as amended June 3, 1907, to a contract set forth therein, the minimum yearly payment of which wa $15,000, this company is com pelled most respectfully to decline to enter into negotiations for the surrender of its present franchise and for the granting of new .lease and franchise, as provided in said amendment of section 118 of the Portland charter as amended June 8, 190T.
