That is the manner In which R. M.

"I feel safe In saying," continued Mr.
Gray, "that the advance in cost of

to be excessively high, and that the

To minimize bridge delays due to

County Commissioners yesterday de
cided to call a conference shortly, at
which members of the Port of Portland
Commission, officials of the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Company,
river steamboat operators and county
officials will meet to discuss the situa
tion and formulate a plan of co-operation.
This decision was the result of a
communication received by the board
this week from the street railvay com
pany, in which the county was urged
to co-operate in avoiding delays, es
pecially during the rush hours of street
railway traffic.
The bridge operators, with Bridge
Foreman Richmond as their spokesman.
appeared before the board yesterday
and announced their desire to co-operate
in every way possible to improve
the service. The meeting will bo
called soon.
Mr. Richmond likewise called atten
tion to the fact that broken glass ha9
been found on the bridges at various
times. He said if autoists and others
would report such finds immediately to
the bridge operators they would bo
remedied at once. All the bridges have
direct telephone connections ami the

everything in their power to serve tho

(Special.) The Farmers' Savings Bank

for a bank to enter, but it is planned
