T ' i , . . & OFFER FOR BRIDGE IS IDE BY BOARD County Commissioners Would Pay $3600 Monthly Instead of Present Rate of $3700. 10-DAY EXTENSION GIVEN Bid Will Be Submitted to President Farrell, or Railroad Company, In Meantime Toll Rates Fixed as Requested. When the County Commissioners ad Journed at 5 o'clock last night tbey wtr still ntrotiatln for terms tor th lease of the upper deck of the Harrl man bridge and a 10-day extension of the leas now held by the city was arranged for. As a matter of formality the Board, before it adjourned, fixed toll rates on the bridge as requested in the petl lion of the O.-W. R. Sc N. and the Southern Paciflo companies. Under the contract by which the upper deck of the bridge was constructed. It I Incumbent on the Commissioners to fix toils on request of the railroad com panics. After a discussion lasting mora than two hours, the Commissioners retired for a conference and soon reappeared with an offer of 13600 a month for the rental of the bridge. This was ubmltted to Arthur C Spencer, who represented the railroad companies. Mr. Spencer aaid he would have to communicate the offer to rreeiaen Farrell. of the O.-W. R. & N. Com tiinv. who Is absent from the city. The arrangement under which the county will pay the present rental for 10 days was then agreed to. Hid Received With Protest. The original offer of the railroad companies was 132.000 a year. The first offer made yesterday Dy ine Commissioners was X42.000 a year on the same conditions. Mr. Spencer said be would communicate the offer to Mr. Farrell if the Board desired. But he protested strongly against the re ductlon of S10.000 in the companies' estimate of what the upper deck of the bridles Is worth. Chairman Lla-htner said the privilege of crossing the river at this point was worth something to the railroads, sir. Ppencer declared this privilege could not legally be charged for. The city's lease was for 144,400 a year, or S1700 a montn. ine nnai proposition submitted by the county was 1100 a month less than this. Un der this proposal the city Is to retain the privilege of contracting for toll rates with the streetcar company The Income from this source amounts to about 111.100. The city also would pay for the current maintenance of Ine bridge, esumaiea at L( Lease Illegal. The railroad proposal of 151.000 left tha streetcar Income and tne main -tenants expense In the bands of the bridge owners. The Board cannot legally accept the nroDosal made by the railroad com panies, declared District Attorney Kvana, He said the Board was not empowered to make the lease for more than and vear. whereas the railroad company wanted the term of the lease set at So years tne esuinuicu mo the bridge. The law. Mr. Evans declared, does not allow a county to contract a debt in excess of 15000. Tne present, t-om i,,u.un.r therefore, could not con tract a debt which would be passed on to future Boards. Th riiv's lease exuired at midnight last night. After that hour the bridge would have been a ton Driuge, m for the extension arranged by the Commissioners. Toll Are Fixed. The toll rates fixed by the Board yesterday are those suggested in a table submitted oy ine rauruau ,...-nanias- Hhould no lease exist at any time, the railroad companies can put officers at each end oi me onusj iv collect fares from every Doay o rpAMM the brides. The Board is determined that this will not coma to pass, out io sansiy the petition, rates were tlxed whereby pedestrians must pay a toll of 1 cent. bicycles and motorcycles a ..v.u.. mnA trucks & cents, dray i cents, two-horse vehicles 3 cents ani one-horse vehicles 1 cenis. 50 FESTIVAL SLOGANS IN Jitter Bring Suggestions for Adver tising Portland.
