NEW BRIDGE URGED
Sellwood Board of Trade Be
gins Agitation.
FERRY OFTEN INADEQUATE
Committee Appointed to Confer on
Subject of Deeper River Chan-
nel Test of Concrete Pave
ment Slay Be Made.
Another bridge across the Willamette
River is wanted by the people of Sellwood,
and at the meeting of the Board of Trade
in the elubhou.se of the Sellwood Com
mercial Club the subject took definite
form. The meeting wna largely attended
by prominent residents. The following
resolutions were adopted:
Whprew. the rapid growth of the south
ern portion of the city and the business in
terests are hampered by the lack of proper
facilities for cruesing the river, and
Whereas, the present ferry is unable to
run durlnir high water, often being tied up
for days at a time, to the Inconvenience of
the people of Fulton, Sellwood and surrounding-
communities, showing the neces
ity of a bridge, and it Is Imperative tha ac
tion be at once commenced toward that end.
Resolved, by the Sellwood Board of TrWe,
that Councilman Rushlight be requested to
introduce a resolution Into the City Council
at Its next regular meeting, instructing the
City Engineer to prepare plans and esti
mates for a bridge to be built across the
Willamette River at right angles, commenc
ing from the foot of either Umatilla ave
nue, or LHiuglas avenue (which -In his Judg
ment shall be the most advantageous point),
to a convenient place on the West 6lde. with
an approach on the East Side commencing
at the west line of East Seventh street, at
a height to avoid a grade crossing of the
tracks of the Portland Railway. Light &.
Power Company, at Grand avenue, with
proper approach on the West Side above the
grade of the railroad track to any point he
may decide.
Premature, Campbell Suggests.
J. W. Campbell, who is a member of
the Mayor's executive committee, ex
pressed the opinion that the movement
for this bridge might be premature and
that in the present temper of the people
might be defeated. He called attention to
the Broadway bridge, which he suit! would
cost a vast sum. However, he said that
lie would not oppose the movement.
Walter Adams, who Introduced the reso
lution, declared " that the time was ripe
for starting agitation for this bridge, as
perhaps it would, be three or four years
before it could be built. (He polnttd out
that it would be a high bridge, much
shorter than that at Broadway, and
would cost less. The need of the bridge,
he urged, was present, and he declared
that the ferry was a poor make-shift.
"Thia bridge," said Mr. Adams, "is part
of the Olmstead system of boulevards for
Portland, and will have to be buut sooner
or later, and the sooner we get it under
way the sooner we shall get it."
Deeper Channel Urged.
I. M. Donaugh brought up, the subject
of having the Willamette River deepened
south of Hawthorne avenue, and said that
he had ascertained that the Port of Port
land ' has jurisdiction within the city
limits, which would give that body au
thority to deepen the channel south of
the city limits. He said that this would
not be far enough, and that it would" be
necessary to take the question up with
the Government engineers at once, before
the surveys for the year are arranged.
Jt was desired, said Mr. Donaugh, to have
the river deepened to Oswego to be of
benefit to the southern district. D. M.
Donaugh, J. F. Kerchem. A. C. Mowrey
and William La Force were appointed to
confer with the Government engineers
and also with the people of Milwaukie,
Fulton, Oswego and others interested.
The pavement question was discussed
by J. W. Campbell, Archie Mason, L N.
Day, Engineer Brown and others. Mr.
Mason offered to lay a concrete pave
ment on the streets of Sellwood If the
property-owners will let him have the
contract and can secure the approval of
the City Engineer to a pavement of that
kind. Engineer Brown said that in pay
ing for the Hassam pavement, the prop
erty owners paid two-thirds for the
pavement and one-third for the name.
I. N. Day, who represented asphalt,
talked about pavements and said that
the best pavement was the wood-block
and asphalt, but that the former was
too expensive for Portland. It was de
cided to refer the whole question to the
property owners. Spokanfc avenue prop-erty-pwners
will take up the question of
the concrete pavement as proposed by
Contractor Mason, which will be the test
whether it can be laid in Portland.

CARS ARE TOO GOLD
Mayor's Committee Hears
Complaints of Citizens.
ABUSES MAY BE REMEDIED
Ifeglect of Com fort and Convenience
to Bo Investigated Street Rail
way Superintendent Will
Make- Heply to- Charge.
Councilman Lombard, Rushlight and
Ellis, constituting Mayor Simon's spe
cial committee on streetcar service,
held the first of a series of meetings
yesterday afternoon and heard the
complaints that have been submitted
in writing concerning various alleged
abuses and neglect of the icomfort
and convenience of passengers by the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Company. Superintendent of Traffic
Franklin and a staff of Inspectors were
present representing the company.
Meetings will be held at 2 P. M.
each Tuesday, and at the next one
Superintendent Franklin will -make
written replies to the complaints sent
to him by order of the committee.
When a letter contains any specific
complaint, a copy will toe sent to the
officers of the company, after con
sideration by the committee, and Mr.
Franklin will make reply as to the
attitude of the company at the follow
ing session of the committee. It is
probable that the committee will be
in continuous session for a long time,
at least as long as complaints of a
specific nature are receivedS These
must be addressed to the City Auditor
in order to receive consideration.
Rusliligbt Offers Remedy.
Heating of cars received a good deal
of attention yesterday afternoon, and
the next most serious feature o9 al
leged neglect by the company was
lack of cars and the method of hand
ling the traffic. Councilman Rushlight
himself entered a complaint as to the
manner In which cars are' handled on
the Brooklyn line, there being few
cars, he said, the cars being "bunched
together at times" because of poor
dispatching or emergencies that arise.
He also suggested that a new system
be inaugurated for bringing in the
Sellwood or Mount Scott cars.
Mr. Rushlight - suggested that (the
Sellwood or Mount Scott cars be routed
down Hawthorne avenue to East Wa
ter street, and thence run to East Mor
rison, which, he suggested, be made
the transfer point, Instead of Grand
avenue and East Morrison street. Su
perintendent Franklin replied that he
would answer these suggestions in a
letter to the committee, but it seemed
doubtful, he believed, whether the idea
could be carried into execution, on ac
count of peculiar conditions as to the
street and trackage. Mr. Rushlight
also suggested that the company build
some sheds for the comfort and con
venience of citizens along the line at
transfer 'points.
Double tracks from Harrison to Ells
worth street in Grand avenue, was an
Rushllght. This is petitioned for by
the Brooklyn Improvement and Repub
lican Club. This will be given atten
tion by Supertendent Franklin in a
letter at the next committee meeting.
A complaint calling for double tracks
on the Woodlawn line, where it turns
off Union avenue to the terminus, was
considered, and Mr. Franklin will re
ply to It next week.
Flat Wheel Causes Complaint.
A car with a "flat" wheel, which has
been disturbing the peace In Sunny
side, had a hearing, and Mr. Franklin
told the committee that he had taken
the wheel oft and replaced it with an
other, perfectly round. He said that
he had caused 400 pairs of wheels to
be replaced in recent months. These
wheels, he stated, are made "flat" by
sudden application of the airbrakes
and the condition of the track.
There were several complaints as to
heating the cars, and members of the
committee expressed themselves as of
the opinion that there was much Jus
tification. Chairman Lombard asked
Mr. Franklin why the cars were not
heated, and the reply was that some
are heated, and thf others are not be
cause of the lack, of proper equipment.
An effort, be said, would be made to
Improve the conditions, but he would
make full reply to the complaints in
writing, so that the committee would
know the position of the company.
Chairman Lombard expressed the
opinion that there was no merit in the
contention of Mrs. Nina Larowe, who
complained of the high steps on the
cars. He said that the cars here have
lower steps than in many other cities,
and he could see no objection, although
Mrs. Larowe was emphatic In both of
her communications on the subject.
She is endeavoring to get the Portland
Woman's Club to ask the committee
for relief.
The . committee members were In
clined not to pay much heed to a good
deal that was said by certain com
plaints, as the tone of their letters
was rather harsh. For example, A. D.
Cridge said that the City Hall would
be filled iWith complaints if the public
had any confidence In the honesty of
the committee and in Its intentions to
act In good faith. This letter was or
dered" "filed," whioti means it got little
consideration. It was a sample of
several others.
The committee considered all of the
specific complaints. The company will
submit its time schedules and other
data for the use of the committee at
the next session.
