Estimates Made by 10 Engi neers Submitted to Chair man of Commission. UNIUUL lILIILnilUlU "T " DERBY STREET IS FAVORED Xew Figures Compiled on Approach Ilao Cost of Union Avenue at $8 1,000 Jlore Than Route Proposed- by Mr. Hyland. An early rehearing of the interstate bridge approach question has been promised by the Multnomah County Commisisoners on condition that rep utable contractor present bona fide olds and bonds that they can build the proposed Derby-street . approach for a substantially lesser sum than the estimated cost of the Union avenue approach. A communication presented to Rufus C. Holman. chairman of the Inter state bridge commission, yesterday by George M. HyJand bore the signed statements of a number of engineers that the difference in cost between the Union-avenue approach and the Derby-street approach is more than $81,000 in favor of the Terby-street approach. Attached to this communication was a schedule of the estimated costs of the two approaches as presented in The Oregonian a few days ago, in which this possible saving of more than $81. 0UO was made apparent. This communication was as follows: "We, whose names are hereto sub scribed, being civil engineers, resident in Portland and Multnomah County, beg to submit to you as chairman, and through you to the Commissioners of Clarke and Multnomah Counties, the result of our findings in re the report of Messrs. Waddell . & Harrington on the interstate bridge approach on the Oregon side, its utility, probable cost, etc. "First The approach and the re sultant fill as recommended by Mr. Harrington we find to be some 3000 feet longer than the other approach under consideration, which added 3000 feet at Mr. Harrington's own figures should cost $80,000 more than the short and straight line to Derby street and Tatton avenue, although Mr. Harring ton in nia report makes the longer and circuitous route cost $10,200 less than the short line. - We submit herewith Mr. Harrington's report, and below the result of our judgment in the matter, showing such a wide discrepancy that, as taxpayers and as members of a pro fession of which we are proud, we teel it a duty to at least call your at tention to the facts. "Harrington report: Union avenue, $241,000; Derby street, $251,200. "Our findings of fact: Union avenue, based on Mr. Harrington's report and figures. $306,307; Derby street, actual, our findings, $22i,464; discrepancy, $81,843. "Second As residents of Portland and having the interests of our com munity most at heart, we feel that we are more competent to judge the .mat ter of an approach than a stranger, as Mr. Harrington is. "We respectfully but earnestly con demn the report ,of Mr. Harrington as being impractical, delusive and appar ently biased. "We submit that now Is the time to decide whether or not this is a bridge for all of the people and not after it is too late. Signed by R. S. Greenleaf, G. A. Kyle, Eugene Schiller, W. C. El liott, George Scoggin, A. E. Hammond, B. R. Honeyman, J. L. Stannard, M. E. Reed and Robert Rea." The Commissioners informed Mr. Hy land that they will grant a rehearing if a contractors' bid can be secured at the figures shown in the report. Mr. Hyland declares he will have no di ficulty in procuring such a bid. Mr. Hyland also pointed out that a further saving can be made on that part of the Derby-street approach that is inside the city limits by the willing ness of the affected property owners to pay for the costs of the viaduct themselves. STREET. WIDENING TALKED Union Avenue and East Bnrnside Improvement Discussed. At the luncheon of the East Burn side District Improvement Association yesterday at .Cirand,,. Union Grill, 385 East Burnside street, it was decided to call a meeting of Union-avenue prop erty owners at the Albina Library, probably next Wednesday night, to consider the widening of Union ave nue. Bruce C. Curry, of the Union avenue Development League, addressed the meeting at length on the widening proposition and said that he ha found a favorable sentiment to the widening as proposed. It was announced that preliminary surveys for the opening of East Burn side street from East Forty-fourth to East Fifty-fifth streets were being made. It was decided to have petitions circulated and signed up for presen tation to the Council by the East Burn-side-street property owners as soon as possible. Miss Purnell Flshburn, the association candidate in the Rose Fes tical contest, attended the meeting and spoke briefly. A resolution was adopt ed asking the management of the con test to print the contest coupons in the newspapers until the close of the contest CITY OFFICIAL HAS PLAINT Eacli Commissioner Will Act Sep arately on Good Roads Plan. Saying that he does not believe in , city officials passing so much time attending luncheons, entertaining vis iting officials from other cities and attending to social and other affairs outside the city routine. Commissioner Brewster yesterday opposed allowing all city employes who are willing to go on the "good roads" excursion up the Columbia River Saturday.' "We waste a lot of time chasing around the city," said Mr. Brewster. "If we didn't have to do so much 'glad handing' we would be abli to do more for the city. We lose a great deal of valuable time in listening to persons and committees in the mornings when we should be devoting our time to actual city work." The same view was not taken by all the other Commissioners, so it was agreed that each Commissioner permit whatever employes in his department lie sees fit to go on the good roads trip. The City Hall will not be closed, nor will city business.be suspended. Members of the Commission probablv will go on the trip and participate in the pick and shovel work on the road in a body. ' : ?

MOCK 0PP0SITES NOW REAL Pretty Home Wedding Joins Lovely Dorothy Shoemaker and Louis Leon Hall Honeymoon v Will Follow End of Season. At the matinee performance of "Fighting Bob," at the Baker' Theater yesterday afternoon, no one in the big audience knew that when lovely Dorothy Shoemaker gazed smilingly into the eyes of Louis Leon Hall, as the lines make him -say in the character he plays, "I shall make jou care for me," that the two clever actor folk were already man and wife. - The wedding took place at noon yes terday at the home of the bride at 383 Rugby street and was attended by only the immediate members of the families and a few close friends of the bride and groom. Miss Helen Shoemaker, the bride's sister, was her only attendant, and Mr. Hall's father, Franklyn Hall, attended the bridegroom. The Rev. Luther Dyott read the impressive serv ice of the Congregational Church. Imported Taupe Moire Worm. Miss Shoemaker, who is a beautiful Titian-haired young woman," wore an imported three-piece gown of taupe moire and carried an armful of brides' roses and orchids. The big drawing room in which the marriage service was held was & bower of roses and trailing greens. After the wedding a breakfast was served and Mr. Hall and Miss Shoe maker, as she will continue to be known, returned to the theater in time for the afternoon matinee. Their plans for a honeymoon Include a trip along the Pacific Coast after the close of their engagement with the Baker stock, which is several weeks away. The marriage is a culmination of a romance that had its beginning with the open ing of the stock company last Fall. Manager George L. NBaker Introduced the two players when the train bear ing the members of his new company started out of New Tork. Miss Shoe maker had seen Mr. Hall in "Quo Vadis" and "Ben Hur," in which he starred, but she bad never met him, and Mr. Hall had never seen any of the theatrical efforts of Miss Shoemaker. , Life Roles Formed on Stage. ' From playing opposite each other in stage roles, tbe two have formed a life partnership-to play opposite each other. They will continue on tbe stage.
