FREIGHT COST ADDS
TO ENGINEERS' PAY
Because of Long Haul of Steel
for Bridge, Designers Will
Collect About $8000.
EXTRAS WILL ADD ALSO
tinder Contract Harrington & Wad
dell Will Get More If Cost of In
terstate Span Is Run TJp.
Mass Sleeting: Is Tonight.
Why should Waddell & Harrington,
of Kansas City, as designing-, consulting-
and supervising- engineers of the
Columbia ,IUver Interstate bridge, get
a commission of 5 per cent on the
freight charges for steel and other ma
terials to be used in the construction
of the bridge?
That is one little phase of the pro
posed contract with this firm, giving
them a straight fee of 5 per cent on
the total cost of the bridge, not as yet
explained.
Here is the case: Steel, . at present
prices, costs J52 a ton manufactured at
Pittsburg. The approximate amount of
steel that will be required for the
bridge is estimated at 10.000 tons. At
present prices, then, the cost of steel
at the mills.would be about. 520,000.
PrrceitaKe on Haul Is f SOOO.
But the freight cost between Pitts
burg and Portland is $16 a ton addi
tional. On 10,000 tons, the freight
charges alone would be 1160,000. Five
per cent of that Is 18000. That la what
Waddell & Harrington would receive
in commission on freight charges on
isteel alone, under the straight 5 per
cent basis upon which their ' contract
has been drawn up. -
ln'other words, if the Columbia River
Interstate bridge were built at Pitts
burg, the commission of the supervising
engineers on the steel on the 6 per cent
basis would be $26,000. Because tie
freight charges between Pittsburg and
Portland total an additional $160,000,
however, the engineers, for doing the
same supervisory work In Portland
that they would be doing in Pittsburg
can add, under the contract, a clear
$8000 to their fee.
Steel will not be the only material
on which freight charges will have to
be paid. There will be large quantities
of cement.
Under the contract as It is drawn up,
the amount of the firm's commissions
would be greater in direct ratio to the
length of the freight haul and the
amount of the freight charges.
Coot Not lt-trleted.
No safeguard against such a practice
Is contained In the contract, which pro
vides that the engineers shall receive
a straight commission of 5 per cent on
the total cost of the bridge and ap
proaches. Nor does the contract provide for a
maximum commission to be paid the
engineers. Should It prove possible to
construct the bridge for considerably
less than the $1,750,000 provided in the
hnrri Inctima ft wnnlH i a tn ti advan
tage of the engineers, under the oon-
tract. to spend as near to the limit of
expenditure as possible.
The question of extras, which raised
a hubbub still recalled in connection
with the building- of the Hawthorne
bridge, also comes into the case. While
the Commissioners assert that' there
can be no extras in excess of the
funds provided tfy the bond Issue, it
is nevertheless within possibility that
there might be extras which still would
not exceed the limit. On all such ex
tras the engineers would also get a
straight 5 per cent commission.
Maximum Held Possible.
County Commissioner Holman, asked
about the absence of a specific maxi
mum commission In the contract, said
yesterday that he thought a maximum
figure might be arranged. He added
that he was proceeding on the business
theory that there were honest men in
the world and that the firm of Wad
dell & Harrington, highly recommend
ed, as It la, and with a fine reputation
s bridge builders, is an honest con
cern. One who named a maximum figure
was Ralph Modjeskl. In his proposal,
he agreed to lo all the engineering
work. Including designing and super
vision, mill, shop and field inspection,
and everything necessary, for $65,000,
from which he also agreed to refund
to the Individual contributors the $5000.
previously paid him for doing the pre
liminary surveys and other work.
Even more specific in naming a def
inite maximum figure was the Straus
Bascule Co., of Chicago, whose pro
posal also Included all designing, su
pervision and inspection. The pro
posal said:
"For these services our fee will be
S',4 per cent of the total cost of the
entire bridge, but in no event more
than $57,400."
Commissioner Holman yesterday
made public the proposals received
from the competing engineers. They
follow:
Lucius & Lucius, of Portland, offered
to do the designing and supervising
work for the bridge, which they esti
mated to cost $1,617,250, for a commis
sion of $82,750. Ttils was approxi
mately on, a basis of 5 per cent.
One Bid la 8V4 Per Cent.
W. B. Bell and George Rae, of Port
land, offered to furnish plans, details
and specifications, supervise the con
struction of the bridge and approaches,
for Shi per cent of tho total cost.
C. E. Fowler, of Seattle, who has
been especially highly recommended as
a bridge engineer from many sources,
offered to design and supervise the
bridge for $43,500. This offer did not
include mill, chop and field Inspection
cf materials.
A. C. O'Neel, of Portland; was for 5
per -cent of the contract prices
Crocker & Moore's offer was for $71,
000. Bowerman & McCloy offered for 3
per cent to design and supervise the
bridge, the commission to supply all
Inspectors and Inspection charges, bor
ings, etc., or for 4 per cent of the cost
to attend to all details.
The Elliott Contracting Company, of
Portland, was for S per cent of the
contract price. Their proposal did not
mention inspections.
..Hedrick & Cochran, of Kansas City,
agreed to do all engineering work for
4 per cent of the total contract.
Company Names Maximum.
The Strauss Bascue Company's of
fer covered all details. Including In
spections, for, 8 per cent of the total
cost, but not to exceed $5,400.
Henry B. Seaman, of New York, a
bridge engineer of National reputation,
ubmlttted figures to the commission
in the nature of memoranda for from
$25,000 to $30,000.
Waddell & Harrington, the successful
firm. Included everything, from design
ing and supervising the structure to
making all Inspections, surveys and
borings and attending to the applica
tion to the War Department.
"For a fee of 5 per cent of the cost
f construction we will perform all en
gineering services required," was their
proposal.
At a mass meeting In the Central
Library tonight, called by J. H. Nolta.
the bridge contract is to be) discussed.
A lively discussion is expected.
FLOOD DAXGEB POINTED OCT
Bridge Approach Under Railroad
Tracks Opposed In Vancouver.
BT EDSON M. ROWLEY.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Jan. 2. (Spe
cial. There is a great effort on the
part of a few persons In Vancouver to
have the Board of Commissioners for
the erection of the interstate bridge
between Oregon and Washington de
cide In favor of the approach under
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle rail
road track on the Vancouver side of
the river, and in connection therewith
I beg to submit a few facts to the tax
payers and public at large against the
location of this bridge where it will
be necessary to approach it under the
railroad track.
The top of the rails of the track is
about 10 feet above high-water mark
established in 1894; the lower side of
the viaducts under which it would be
necessary to go, is about six feet above
the ' high-water mark. It is admitted
that at least nine-tenths of the people
and three-fourths of the freight that
will cross this bridge willcross it on
electric cars; therefore to accommo
date the greatest number of people and
the largest amount of freight, provi
sion must be made for the largest elec
trio cara, and the cars are growing
larger every year. The largest cars
for passengers must have a clearance
space of about 20 feet, and freight
cars of about 22 feet- The high-water
mark, established in 1894, is 34 feet
above low-water mark, and the lower
side of the viaduct six feet above that
mark makes the top of the clearance
space 40 feet above low-water mark;
deduct the 20 feet fas clearance space
and we shall have at a flood stage of
21 feet, one foot of water on the car
track, which will put the electric cars
out of service.
The following shows the maximum
Summer stage of the Willamette River
at Portland, as recorded by the United
States Weather Bureau. The recordat
Vancouver is about one foot higher:

This shows that the brldsra would
have been out of service from three
to five weeks, 21 years out of 36 years
last past, a condition certainly to be
avoided. If possible, as it is fair to
presume the future average will be
about the same.
There still is another and more im
portant reason why the approach
should not pass under the railroad
track. The railroad bridge and the
railroad tracks, as a precaution against
a still higher hiprh-water mark, have
been built 10 feet above the present
high-water mark, and it is presumed
the interstate bridge will be as high.
which will necessitate if the approach
passes under the railroad track, a
sharp incline and also a curve in
the roadway, both of which should
be avoided if possible, to reach the
required elevation, as the railroad
track is only a short distance from the
river bank. An Incline, even though
not so steep, on a pavement, as it will
be, is a bad proposition for horses on
frosty, slippery mornings, and we have
many such mornings near the river.
The capacity of a load a team may
haul to Portland will be reduced to
the load It can haul up the incline.
Any teamster will give a decided opin
ion on that point, and the animals who
have to suffer for this kind of road-
building would be spared many strains,
broken bonea, kicks and cursings if
all such inclines were eliminated.
We have a point at Ingalls, Jeffer
son or King streets, preferably at Jef
ferson street, where a practically level
approach can be had, 10 feet above ex
treme high water, that will not be
crossed by the railroad track, and the
river is from 100 to 200 feet narrower
than at Main, Washington or Columbia
streets. Two 80-foot streets lead di
rectly to it, one of them is already
hard-surfaced and the other by hard
surfacing five blocks will connect with
two other hard-surfaced streets, mak
ing an ideal approach, one that can be
built much cheaper than at the other
points, considering the property rights,
and one that will be much nearer the
center of the city.
We T mean the majority of the peo
ple who have to pay. or rather be re
sponsible for this bridge, are greatly
Interested that it shall be built at a
point and after a plan that will give us
the most usefulness without regard to
tho private interests of any person,
company or corporation. Multnomah
County and Clarke County as a whole
are interested in this bridge, and it is
the taxpayers' duty to look Into It and
use their best honest efforts In support
of this matter tn such a way that the
best results may be obtained by the
greatest number, and keep within the
limits bf the appropriation.
The under viaduct crossing or ap
proach, with necessary curve and sharp
Incline, out of service from three to
five weeks two years out of three,
which will be the result if the Main,
Washington or Columbia-street ap
proach is adopted, as against a level
approach, no curves and a bridge that
can be used every day of the year, if
Ingalls, Jefferson or King street is se
lected, are matters of grave import
ance to be considered in the location
and erection of this great bridge. Our
Commissioners are all honorable men,
above question or reproach, and this
article is not written to cast any re
flection or insinuation that they will
not do what Is right and best, but it is
written to arouse the majority of the
taxpayers to combat these few who are
trying to get this bridge located for
their own personal gain and to the
detriment and loss of the public at
large. To me there Is no argument
against the level approach, and it ap
pears ridiculous to write this article,
but a few property owners who would
be benefited by the approach leading
from a point near their property have
been talking the under-viaduct ap
proach so continually and persistently
that I thought it time to try and arouse
the public in general, both In Multno
mah and Clarke counties, that tt might
look into this matter before It is too
late. The citizens of Multnomah Coun
ty are interested as much as those in
Clarke County that this bridge be in
service every day of every year, and
that it be located where it can be so
used. See your Commissioner about It.
NEW ELKS PROMISED ZOO
Government AV111 Provide Animals
for Cost of Capture and Freight.
The Washington Park too is to have
a new family of elks. Word was re
ceived yesterday by Prrk Superintend
ent Mische from Washington, D. C,
that arrangements have been made to
donate to the zoo four males and two
females from the Yellowstone National
Park provided the city will pay the
cost of capturing and shipping them.
The city has had an application for
elk before the Government for sev
eral months. Mr. Mische say's the city
Is more than anxious to pay the costs
and will proceed at once to get the
animals. It Is probable several of the
elk herd at the zoo at present will be
sold or liberated.
COUNTY NOT BOUND,
DECLARES ENGINEER
J. L. Harrington, of Firm Fa
vored for Bridge Job, Says
Price Set Is Final. '
COPY OF BID IS GIVEN OUT
Member of Concern Tells of IVien-d-liness
of Pacifio Bridge Com
pany, but Says Relation
Would Not Interfere.
"There is no need for the people to
be alarmed. The contract has not been
delivered to us. We have no claim
whatever against the county." savs
John Lyle Harrington, of the firm of
Waddell & Harrington, bridge engineers
of Kansas City, which has been award
ed the engineering contract for the
proposed Interstate bridge across the
Columbia River between Portland and
Vancouver, Wash.
"Our offer to draw the plans for tho
bridge and superintend its construction
for S per cent of the cost is bona fide
and the same price that we make to all
our clients. We offer no discounts. We
get either 6 per cent or nothing. Rather
than take less we would throw up the
contract."
He pointed then to the -fact that his
firm received 5 per cent for building
the Hawthorne bridge and the Harri
man bridge across the Willamette River
in Portland and declared that the same
figure had been paid for scores of other
bridges, railroad and highway, in va
rious parts of the country.
Pacific Company Friendly.
Mr. Harrington was asked about the
relations of his firm with the Pacific
Bridge Company, of Portland. He ad
mitted that H. C. Campbell, a member
of that company, had spoken in a
friendly way to Rufus Holman. chair
man of the Multnomah County Commis
sioners, In behalf of Waddell & HarV
rington. The supposed friendliness between
the Pacifio Bridge Company an3 Wad
dell & Harrington perhaps developed
during the time the Hawthorne bridge
was built, it has been suggested.
The contract for the substructure on
the Hawthorne bridge was let to Robert
Wakefield & Co. In which Mr. Campbell,
C. F. Swlgert and other members of
the Pacific Bridge Company, it is gen
erally known, are financially interested.
?But we are here without pledges or
without promises to the Pacific Bridge
Company or to anybody else," declared
Mr. Harrington, emphatically.
"The bridge board has full power to
let the contract for the new bridge. It
is Immaterial to us to whom they
let it."
Contract Might Be Swayed.
It has been suggested within the
last few days that it would be pos
sible for the engineers on the bridge
to prepare plans so that any certain
favored set of contractors might be
able to bid on them to advantage over
their competitors.
As the engineers are the sole pro
fessional advisors to the bridge board,
it would be easy also, it is pointed
out, for the engineers to recommend
any contractor of their own choice. -
Mr. Harrington Insists, however,
that past relations with the Paciflc
Bridge Company will not govern not
eveninfluence his firm in its relations
with the local bridge board in the
event the contract finally is approved.
Although the Waddell & Harrington
bid has been accepted by a majority
of the Multnomah County Commission
ers, and signed by them, it has not been
approved by the Governor and is not
binding until It finally is delivered to
Waddell & Harrington.
County May Reject Bid.
"If the Multnomah County Commis
sioners choose to rescind their action
tomorrow we nave no recourse what
ever," said Mr. Harrington. "We
would not attempt to exercise any
even if we did have it. We have been
to no expense excepting that in con
nection with my trip out here and if
the county doesn't finally accept the
contract the people here don't owe us
a cent."
Saying his firm has no secrets to
conceal from the people Mr. Harring
ton submitted the following copy of his
bid to the bridge board:

BRIBERY rXViJSTIGATIOX 13 DTJE
IMstrict Attorney to Have County
Commissioner Before Grand Jury.
Full and complete Investigation will
be made Into the reported attempted
bribery of County Commissioner Hart
in connection with the choosing of an
engineer for the new Columbia River
Interstate bridge, said District Attor
ney Evans last night. The matter will
be taken up by the grand Jury, which
will convene January 10, and Com
missioner Hart will be asked to tell
his story to the Board. If investiga
tions warrant, Mr. Evans said, the
parties charged with offering the bribe
will be prosecuted rigidly.
"The matter has been called to my
attention only through stories I have
seen and Informal conversation, but I
am convinced that the matter has gone
far enough to warrant a rigid exam
ination. The offering of a bribe to
an official to Influence him is a crime
and if we find that an offer was made
to Commissioner Hart, we can indict
any and all persons interested in the
offer or on whose authority it was
made and return "them to this state
for trial, if they have left the state."
Commissioner Hart reported to the
Interstate Bridge Commission that rep
resentatives of two firms who were
candidates for the position of engi
neers had offered him S1000 for his
vote and a third one had offered him
$1600. Mr. Hart refused to name either
of the firms whose representatives he
said had attempted to bribe him, but
exonerated Waddell & Harrington, the
firm selected by the Commission last
Monday.
CHURCH DECISION NEAR

Announcement Follows Appeal (.Grace
CoBsrresratloa Consolldatlom is
Asked Ruling; Will Be Final.
Bishop R J. Cooke announced iast
night, following the presentation from
the congregation of the Grace Meth
odist Episcopal Church of an appeal for
a settlement of the controversy regard
ing its consolidation with the Taylor
street congregation, that he would give
his decision within a short time and
that that decision will be final.
"I pray God," he said, "that no mat
ter which way the matter may go, you
will be good natured about it. I want
to ' congratulate you of the Grace
Church, as ladies and gentlemen, for
the moderation you have shown thus
far in this matter.
"There never was a time when the
church of Christ needed more to set
an example of obedience to authority
than now. If a man in the Methodist
Episcopal ChurcV cannot be obedient
to its government it is then his solemn
duty to leave that church and go to an
other whose laws he can obey or to no
church and be a lawless man." "
At the opening of the meeting, the
stand of the Grace Church congrega
tion was outlined by George F. John
son In a message to the Bishop urging
that he sustain and declare legal the
action of the church officials in order
ing the consolidation of the two con
gregations. The message also favored
the consolidation as necessary to the
progress of the church in the city and
state. E. A. Baker, Dr. Theodore Fess
ler, J. K. Gill, T. J. Fording, Assistant
School Superintendent C. A. ' Rice and
A. King Wilson gave addresses and the
adoption ot the statement offered by
Mr. Johnson practically was unanimous.
