NOTED ENGINEER III CITY RALPH MOD.TESKI TO SURVEY INTERSTATE BRIDGE. Expert Also Will Inspect Broadway Structure and Those Over Deschutes River. Ralph Modjeski, the noted bridge en gineer, arrived in Portland from Chi cago at 8 o'clock last night, and is at the Portland Hotel. He will be in Ore gon a week. He came to the Coast to make a preliminary survey for the pro posed interstate bridge between Van couver, Wash., and Portland, to inspect the new Broadway bridge and the rail way bridges of the Deschutes River. Mr. Modjeski will speak before Port land commercial organizations and will exhibit a nunVber of stereopticans slides showing how European bridge ap proaches and river banks are being beautified. He will address the Com mercial Club at 2 P. M. today, his sub ject being "European bridges and riv ers. Thursday he will speak at lun cheon to tho Progressive Business Men's Club, on "The interstate bridge." Thursday night he will give an infor mal talk on "Foundations in the Co lumbia and Willamette rivers," before the Oregon Society of Engineers. Fri day he will leave for the Deschutes canyon, will pass the night at Metolius, and probably will take a special train back, stopping at all the bridges to In spect them. He will arrive in Portland again Saturday night, and plans to leave lor Chicago Monday night. It will cost J2.000.000 to construct a bridge across the Columbia River as proposed, according to a very rough estimate made by Engineer Modjeski before making a survey. The proposed bridge would be 3600 feet long, and it might be necessary to construct a short bridge over one of the sloughs. Preliminary plans, drawn-by Mr. Mod jeski, are for a bridge with roadway 24 feet wide, and providing for both streetcar and team traffic In the center of tlie bridge. The Columbia River railway bridge is much longer, and cost $4,000,000. "Unless we meet unforseen obstacles we shall finish the Broadway bridge in January," said Mr. Modjeski, last night. "This will be within the time limit given in the specifications. I do not think the bridge will cost much more than the original estimate of J1.3S0. 000. Later estimates were a little dif ferent, as some changes were made, but the total practically is the same. "I shall start the preliminary survey for the proposed interstate bridge as soon as I have met the members of the Portland and Vancouver committees, and know their wishes." The Vancouver committee consists of James P. Stapleton, Dr. C. S. Irwin and A. M. Blaker. The Portland committee Is composed of Frank B. Riley, C. C. Colt and S. L. Woodward.
