Railroads Submit Argument
in Tangle With City Com
mission Over Rental.

The president of the O.-W. R. N.
Company asks the people If they think.
In the light of the following facts, the
rental suggested by the owner for the
use of the highway deck of the rail
road bridge ts excessive, as has been
declared by Mayor Albee and Commis
sioners Daly and Bigelbw.
J. D. Farrell, for the bridge owners,
invites the people to consider this
question, taking into account the in
vestment in the upper deck, the use to
which it is subjected arid the cost to
the taxpayers as compared With other
bridges.
The city's lease of the highway deck
of the railroad bridge expired October
9, 1914, and since then the owners
have granted two extensions to avoid
the great Inconvenience that would be
caused the many users of the bridge if
It were closed, and they stand ready to
errant another extension. If necessary,
for the authorities to investigate the
matter further.
Early History Given.
The owners' statement follows:
"This bridge was built within the
franchise location fixed by the people
through the Legislature of 1887 for the
old double-deck bridge which it re-;
places. The people recognized that the
railroad company was entitled to a falf
return Upon its Investment In the
upper deck of the old" bridge When the
legislative act referred to provided and
authorized the collection of tolls by the
railroad company upon traffic moving
over the old structure.
"When the time came, at the explra-
tlon of about 20 years, to replace the
old bridge with the present one, the
Port of Portland Commission, whose
jurisdiction over the harbor required
that the railroad company secure a
franchise from it for the new struc
ture, also recognized and acknowl
edged that the railroad Company should
receive a fair return on Its investment
In the construction of the upper deck,
and provided in the franchise that for
the additional expense Involved the
company should be entitled to Charge
tolls. This same franchise further
provided that if a contract were made
between the company and the City of
Portland or County of Multnomah for
the use of the upper deck, the owner
should receive a net return of 6 per
cent upon the investment and such ad
ditional sum per annum on account of
depreciation Which, it set aside and
compounded semi-annually at 4 per
cent Interest Would, at the end of 20
years, produce a sum equivalent to the
additional cost. The provision for de
preciation was made because the Com
mission recognized, and the people will
concur, that if the railroad provided
money for a highway deck on . the
bridge and the public wore It out, the
owner would have neither bridge nor
money when the time came for dis
mantling; it
Beads Declared Syaonymons.
"The owner's money invested In this
highway utility for the public's bene
fit, railroad dollars though they be,
should, when used by the public, re
reive the same consideration as given
by the city to the money secured from
the bond buyers by the city for the
construction of its city bridges. The
city pays the interest on these bonds,
and When the bridges are worn out and
the bonds mature it pays the principal,
and would consider attempted repudia
tion of its bonds dishonorable, and re
pent the suggestion of such a course by
Its officers. "
"In July. 1913, the city employed
Xtalph Modjeski. an eminent engineer,
to determine the additional cost to
which the railroad company was put
In the construction of the upper deck
mid approaches. On October 7, 1912,
Mr. Modjeski filed his report with the
city, which showed that the additional
cosT'of the -brtdje. resulting from the
construction of the upper deck struc
ture, was (821,124.44. The value of
the real estate used for the highway
portion alone was placed by Mr.
Modjeski at $86,000, which made the
total 1907.124.44. of which 1621,833.45
waa invested in the depreciable por
tion of the upner deck. The city rent
ed the bridge for two years at an
annual rental of $44,400, and agreed to
Jtep the floor and stringers in good
condition and once during the term.
If demanded by the owner, to paint
the Iron and woodwork above the up
per deck. The railroad company did
not require the city to Incur the ex
pense of this painting.
Half Interest Sold.
"In Kovember. 1912, the Southern
Pacific Company acquired a one-half
interest in the bridge, subject to this
lease with the city, and In 1913 by
act of the Legislature the operatiop
i of the bridge was shifted from the
City of Portland to the County of
Multnomah In 1913 the expense to
the county for maintenance was but
$47.12. and for the first six months
or 1914 $18.79.
"During the period Covered by the
leans the companies have received In
rental $86,719.16. The cost to the com
panies during the same period, figur
ing 5 per cent on their investment In
the Upper deck structure and ap
proaches and estimating the life of
the bridge to be 23 years and depre
ciating the destructible portion of the
bridge at 4 per cent, compounded semi
annually for the 33-year term, and
adding taxes actually paid on the up
per deck, amounted to the sum of $130.
127.26. Deducting from this $130.-
3 27.26 the total rontals received from
the city, $SS,719.1S. the loss to the rail'
road companies Was and is $43,408.11.
Other Bridges Compared.
"Taking for comparison the .neigh
toring bridges, the Burnstde and the
Broadway, and figuring the original
coat or the isurnslde at $300,000. with
an estimated life from the data of Its
construction of 25 years, and depre
elating it at 4 per cent compounded

II. 585, 921.90 and depreciating Its super

"With all this Information before
them, some of which was supplied by
the city's own ekpert engineer, Mr.
Modjeski, and Some Of Which Was com
piled by its own department oi puonc
works, the City Commissioners offer
the railroad companies an annual rental
of only $18,000 for the upper deck and
approaches of this bridge.
The citizens Will not agree tnat inie
is an adequate rental for the bridge,
when their attention is called to the
fact that the public reeofi show that
they receive in cash from the tipper
deck of this railroad structure approxi
mately $14,000 per year m streetcar
tolls and $10,000 In taxes from the tail
roadaa pr6fit of $6000 per year over
and above what it is proposed to pay
the railroads for the Usd or tne bridge.
The people of Portland will sustain
the railroads In rejecting thie offer of
the City Commission. In' view of the
facts herein stated, especially -when It
is known that it entails a loss to the
bridge owners ot over $40,000 per year.
Railroads Make Counter Offer.
The railroad Companies propose a
new lease, Carrying substantially the
same provisions aa are In the present
one and Bxing the rental for the use
of tho r.rirfcn at 414 ner cent annually
Upon the structure's cost as determined
by Mr. Modjeski. plus a displacement
charge to be applied not upon the
entire amount found by Mr. Modjeski
to be Invested in the highway deck
($907,124.44). but upon the depreciable
portion only ($621,833. 45), which
charge If compounded semi-annually at
(t, per cent per annum would retire the
cost of the depreciable portion, not in
the 20-year period estimated by the
Port Commission, but in 36 year.
These items of interest and re
nlacementr $40,820.60 and $7513.49 re
spectively, aggregate $43,334.09 as an
annual charge. The railroad com
panles' proposal further calls for the
payment by the city of the taxes on
the upper deck. The interest and oe
preciation cost to the city for the
Broadway bridge 18 $87,573.84. Com-
nnrlnsr this amount with the interest
and -depreciation charge askea by th
railroad companies aggregating $4s.
334.09 for the railroad bridge, it will
be seen that the railroad companies'
Dronoeal for Its utility, which accom
modates the greater traffic, cost the
taxpayer $39,239.7 less than for th
city-owned Broadway image.
Publlo Verdict Asked,
"It is submitted in the light of the
foregoing facts, that the rental asked
by the railroad companies la extremely
low and more than fair to the people.
The railroads ere furnishing the publio
a necessary utility at less cost than Is
incurred In the use of either of th
other bridges referred to; the most the
companies- would receive it their pro
posal were accepted would be 4V4 per
cent interest upon their Investment. It
is a low rate of Interest, and less tnan
is authorised and Contemplated by the
franchise. In addition to furnishing
this utility at a much less cost to the
people than they pay for their publicly
owned bridges. th owner of the
structure are carrying the risk Of
serious damage to or destruction of the
bridge: especially hazards of naviga
tion, which cannot be Insured against.

tal damages are said to be about $70,-

the Port Is to be determined today.
After reviewing the case the court
says among other things:
"The evidence show that the red
lights on the Ocklahama and Thielbek.
If there were more than one, did not
in any way confuse or mislead the
Fageiund.
"The collision was duo entirely to
the fact that the Fageiund, after ask
ing for and receiving permission to
cross the bow of the Ocklahama, failed
to execute such movement, but on the
contrary reversed her engines, and
swung to her Own starboard directly
across the course she had assigned to
the Ocklahama a few seconds before,
tier fault was sufficient to account for
the accident and she is not permitted
to escape liability by raising a doubt
regarding the movement of the Ockla

The Grippe Left Mrs. Find-
ley m Such a Weak, Nerv
ous Condition That Her
Case Was Serious.
Eevery, Kans. - "The Qrippe left me
In a very weak, nervous, run down
condition, I was too Weak to do toy
housework and could hot sleep. ..-I
tried different medicines without bene
fit and finally one day read about
Vlnol, and decided to try It. In a very
short time I could see an improvement
and after taking two bottles I have -a
(rood appetite and my .. health and
strength was restored.
"I Chink Vinol is a grand medicine
and every weak, nervous, run - down
woman should take it."-MRS. C1EO.
FINDLET, Eevery, Katis.
Vlnol creates strength because It
contains all the medicinal tissue-build.
Ing- elements Of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh, healthy cods' livers.
To this is added peptonate of Iron, a
most essential element for the blood,
all dissolved in a deliolous tonic native
wine.
Vinol creates an appetite, aids diges
tion, makes pure healthy blood. In
this natural manner It builds up the
rundown, weak and nervous system, re
places weakness with strength. If
Vlnol falls to create strength after
sickness we will return your money.

THE NERVES AND I
THEIR NEEDS
We do not give much thought to or
nervous system when It IS working all
right but When it goes wrong nature
has a way of calling it forcibly to our
attention by something that we cannot
'overlook pairs.
Try to reach a painful nervo with
medicine of any sort and you are coo
fronted with a fact that every doctor
knows, that the only way to reach tl
nerve is through the blood,
ton see now why Dr. Williams' Plujc
Pills, the great tonlo for the blood, ars
also a great nerve builder. When a
nerve becomes inflamed and painful it
Is unless caused by an accident tre
cause the blood Was not giving it the
elements Of nourishment noeded. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills build Up the blood,
the nerves are strengthened, tho in
flammation subsides and tho pain van
ishes. By keeping the blood rich and
red by tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills the danger of nervous breakdown.
Insomnia, nervous Indigestion and other
disorders caused by 111 - nourished
nerves Is greatly lessened. In children
the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
banishes th fear of St. Vitus' dance.
