COUNTY MAY APPEAL CASE Jude Cleeton Not Satisfied Wltb Circuit Court PeclMon. County Judge Cleeton has asked District Attorney Evans to take an ap peal to the Supreme Court from the decision of Circuit Judge Davis in the Dean G. Hay non-support case.

RAISING OF FUNDS PUZZLE Representative McCoy, of Clark County, Scores Lister for Veto Ac tion and Tells of Rumors of Probable Party Tieop. VANCOUVER, Wash., March 14. (Special.) "If no other way can be found to finance the building of the Paciflo Highway bridge, I am In favor of going ahead and bonding the City of Vancouver and Clark County for a sufficient sum to build a toll bridge and firmly believe that by the time it la comDleted. the Governor will see tne error of bis veto and that the state will make an appropriation to take It over," said Representative George McCoy, of Clark County, tonight, after returning from Olympia.. I believe." he continued, -that oy the time it is built, if under this plan, that the public sentiment will be so strongly in favor of it that it will be demanded that the state will offer to redeem the bonds, or a just and equa ble portion of them." At a meeting of the bridge committee today it was decided that an informal meeting be held in Portland tomorrow, with some of the Portland bridge com mittee, and that steps be taken to se cure a working plan to finance the building of the bridge. James P. Sta pleton, chairman, Floyd Swan, J. W. Shaw and George McCoy and several others will go as members of this com mittee. It Is the hope that some feasible plan may be worked out so that the necessary funds may be raised to begin the building of the bridge as soon as possible. Various Plana Broached, There have been many plans broached, one being that a .cheaper bridge be built and that the eounties of the southwest be Joined In the prop osition and that each vote bonds to construct Washington's share of the bridge another is the toll bridge. In speaking of why Governor Lister vetoed the bill. Mr. McCoy tonight said: I presume the Governor thought that the counties of Skamania, Clark and Cowlits, which are most vitally in. terested in the Interstate bridge, axe small counties. In population, and that it is a good political policy to cut ap propriations here, rather than where they would affect a larger vote, such as Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane. "I am led to believe this from the fact that he approved an appropriation nearly as . large for the Snoqualmle Pass road, which at best is passable but six months in the year, and then only to a limited amount of traffic. But should he disapprove an item like the latter, he no doubt realizes that It would affect a larger number of votes. Economy Talk Puzzles McCoy. "His figures on economy, which he gives for his reason for vetoing the bill, I cannot comprehend and I cannot see how the Btate can afford not to bnild at this time. Records show that traffic on the ferry crossing the Colum bia River during the past four years has doubled, the' fares of 1909 being 530,000 and for 1912 170,000, and there is every reason to believe that during the next three years there will be an equal Increase, if not greater, owing to the opening of the Panama Canal and the great influx of homeseekers to the Paciflo Northwest This Increase would make the total fares from 1120,000 to $140,000 for ferriage, and this comes from those least able to pay it, viz., from the poorer classes. 'It seems to me that It would be greater economy to pay this from .the general fund, 80 per cent of which Is paid by the corporate Interests of the state, and Invest it In a bridge that will last for generations than to pay it out of the fares of the people and then nave nothing but a wheezing ferry, wholly inadequate, and yet be compelled to build the bridge.. "It was current talk that the Gov ernor had entered into a combination with the Democrats and Progressives of the Senate to sustain htm in all ve toes, except the Cheney Normal appro prlation, and this was demonstrated In the vote on the $30,000 item on the budget for checking the Land Office, vetoed by the Governor, and the bill for the creation of a state vocational school at Everett, as they voted almost to a man according to the lineup." Lumberman Subscribes $3000. Following the offer of John P. Wine- berg, of Vancouver, to give J2000 to head a subscription list for the pro posed Pacific highway bridge, provided Its northern end land at Park street, Vancouver, Eugene Blazler, Portland, lumberman, last night offered to sub scribe J 3000. Mr. Blazler has large in terests in Multnomah, Clark and Ska mania oountleB. He said be subscribed this amount with a view of encourag- ing other property owners to raise the amoutt already subscribed. Within a few days a meeting will be called for Joint session of the Portland and Vancouver bridge committee, when the matter of raising the money for the bridge will be canvassed.
