Bricob Sits; Not Yet Decided. The
exact location of the proposed bridge
across the Willamette Klver In South
Portland has not been definitely settled
and will not be decided until the City
Knjclneer baa 'completed his Investiga
tions of the river and approaches.
Woodward avenue, or old KlUworth
f-treet. on the East Hide and Meade tr
Wood street on the West Hide have
been named as the possible ends, but
these may be changed aa the result of
the sounding; and Investigations the
("Ity KnKineer Is making;. Mayor
Rushllcht has been quoted as favoring
Briciin street on the Kast Side as that
approach mould bring the bridge closer
to Itosa Islnnd. but he said the site
select Ion Is not settled and drpends on
the City Kngineer. A suggestion has
been made that the bridge might be
made double-decked that the lower
portion could be used for a belt line
railway, but nothing haa been done In
that direction and It will probably not
be entertained In connection with the
proposed bridge.
Kltijo Ml-as Cuts Mix, C. 1C. Mc-N-elan.
a timber dealer living at 64
Kast Twenty-ninth street, was In
jured yesterday afternoon by being
struck on the head with a piece of
glass from a broken Indow In the
Imn building. That other people were
not Injured Is considered a miracle by
tiose who witnessed the accident.
While adjusting a large window frame
on the second floor two workmen
turned the revolving frame In such a
way that the strong wlml blew the
pane out of the casing. The huge plate
of gins struck the ledge below and the
splinters littered the sidewalk with
nn particles. Mad the pane of glass
fallen directly onto the sidewalk the
mishap would undoubtedly have been
more serious. Mr. McNeelan was slight
ly cut at the back of the head. His
w ound was dressed by Ir. W. H. Hare
end he mas snt home In a rab by
Mr. Yeon.

SLOUGH DREDGING ASKED
North Albln Club "Wants Harbor at
Kenton and Sewer Outlet.
Th Port of Portland Commission
will be asked to dredge Columbia
Slough from Its mouth, at the Willam
ette River, east to Kenton, that It may
b used for ships and recelv sewage
from the Peninsula. IT. G. Parsons.
Eugene Palmer, William Fragmlre, D.
M. Shattuck and H. A. Ruble have been
named a sewer committee by th
North Albina Improvement Association,
which Is urging- co-operation of all or
ganisations on th Peninsula to get
Columbia Slough dredged as th first
step to gel an outlet tor
sewer system for the Peninsula.
The City Engineer haa In view an
outlet for th main sewer conduit west
of Kenton Into Columbia Slough, pro
vided th slough is so dredged that
there will b current to carry out th
refuse. Th laterals will then be con
nected with this conduit. It Is esti
mated that this plan will be less ex
pensive than any other proposed.
Tha committee has sent notices to

BURNER TAKEN OVER
Health Board Formally Ac
cepts Crematory.
DISAGREEMENT IS FIXED
Balance Due or $38,90 Recom
mended to Bo Paid Engineering
Firm and Company Is Penal
ised for Working Too Slow.
The new city crematory was for
mally accepted yesterday by the Health
Board and a recommendation made to
the, City Council that the balance duo
the Public Works Engineering Com
pany be paid, along with interest on
tho balance due from January 3 to
yesterday. The engineering company
m-as penalized $750 for failure to com
plete the plant within the speclned
time.
Subsequent to tho acceptance of the
plant the board recommended the ap
pointment of David E. Otis aguper
lntendent. Mr. Otis has been in charge
of tho plant during the test period,
having succeeded to the position when
former superintendent Napier re
signed. Coatrwversy Is Cauaed.
Considerable argument was raised
at the meeting m-hen the engineering
company denied the right of the city
to demand a penalty for the work not
being finished on time. The board in
turn objected to paying interest on the
deferred payment from June until yes
terday because the period was con
sumed in a special test not provided
for In the contract. No objection was
made to paying interest during the
first test between January S and June 3.
The controversy led to a compromise.
The city will pay the interest and
the company will submit to the pen
alty. The plant was completed last
December and a certificate of accept
ance was filed by the Health Board
January 3. 1911.
Second Test Made.
A test period of six months was pro
vided the contract. At the end of
the first test the plant was not satis
factory. Defects were repaired and the
second test ordered. The board re
cently Inspected tho plant and found
It in good working order.
The original contract price was $99,
900. When the plant was accepted be
fore the test a payment of 59.940 mas
made. The balance due Is $39,960.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21. President
Taft, who beg-an his Christmas shop
ping; In New York yesterday, made a
trip through the downtown section late
today and selected several gifts.
The President's objective point was
a book store, where he made several
purchases. His advent into the shop
ping" district was made in the quiet
way In which Mr. Taft moves about
the streets of tho capital and hundreds
among; whom he went missed seeing
him.
While In the book store, a young
Army Lieutenant, Intetit on his exami
nation of some editions de luxe, pushed
against the President, oblivious of the
fact that he was Jostling- his Com-mander-ln-Chlef.
Mr. Taft was equally
absorbed with Major Butt in selecting
some volumes and failed to observe tho
officer's presence.
The President confined his purchases
to standard works. He returned to the
White House shortly after 8 o'clock.
