Contract With Pearson Com
pany for Viaducts Over Rail
way to Be Signed Today.
COST WILL BE $507,000
Improvement Has Been Ixmg Sought
and in Removing Source of Dan
ger Will Add to General At
tractiveness of District.
The long-pending contract for the
elimination of all grade crossings of
the 0.-W. R, & N. on the East 6ide
will be awarded by the City Council
thlo morning- to the Pearson Construc
tion Company for $507,000. Work will
be started at once.
The contract Involves the lowering
of the tracks of the railroad from mid
way up Sullivan's Gulch to a point be
yond the city limits and the construc
tion of viaduct3 at Sandy boulevard
and Ea6t Thirty-seventh street. East
Forty-seventh street. East Fifty-third
street. East Sixtieth street, Halsey
street. East Seventy-fourth street and
East Eighty-second street. These will
he the only railroad crossings along
the line, others being listed for elim
ination. The O.-W. R. & N. Company will bear
all the cost of lowering its tracks and.
together with the Portland Railway,
Light Power Company, will pay 60 per
cent of the cost of the viaducts. The re
maining 40 per cent of the viaduct cost
will be divided equally between the
city as a whole and the property along
the line specially benefited by the im
provement. Improvement Long Sought.
The city has been seeking for many
years to bring about the elimination of
the crossings, having started proceed
ings several times, but having been
stopped by property owners. At the
fast city election the method of pro
cedure was changed by the voters and
under the new form the work Is to be
done.
The principal part of the-work will
be at Sandy boulevard, where several
streets came together at the railroad
crossing-. Approaches will be con
structed from each of these streets to
the viaduct. Temporary wooden cross
ings will be constructed while the per
manent work is under way. These will
necessitate the shifting of traffic from
time to time as work progresses.
The viaducts will all be of reinforced
concrete and will be attractivo in de
sign and appearance. The city's i,rtal
bureau has completed all cases involv
ing damages by change of grade and
has acquired, the necessary rights of
way. The O.-W. It. & M. Company has
provided for Its costs in this year's
budget, while the city has a fund of
about $65,000 available. The balance
will be made up in next year's budget.
Entire East Side Benefited.
The elimination of the crossings will
be a source of much relief to many
parts of the East Side. Numerous fatal
accidents have occurred at the cross
ings in years past and there has been a
general clamor for elimination of the
tracks and street on the same grade.
George Edmondstone, engineer in
charge for the city, says the plans are
all in such shape that there will be
no delay in the work. The bids for
the contract were opened December 6
and the Pearson Construction Company
was the lowest bidder in the sum of
$507,000. At the time bids were opened
February 28 was set as the date for
awarding the contract, it beine neces
sary in advance to dispose of all suits I
involving damages due to the grade
changes.
It is expected there will be a dele
gation at the Council meeting to pro
test against award of the contract.
It had been rumored that some of the
property owners Intended seeking an
injunction, but no action along this
line has been taken. Circulars have
been distributed through the assessment
district announcing that the contract
Is to be awarded and asking as many
Protestants as possible to be at the
Council meeting. There has been no
opposition before the Council heretofore.
