TRAFFIC GROWTH ASSURED THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, TTCRSDAY", AUGUST 21, 1919. CROSSINGS Boufo! Serious Conditions Few Tears Hence Foreseen Cnless Adequate Meas ures for Relief Undertaken. Elimination of railroad grade cross ing at bridge approaches, both on the ml sUIe and on Front street. Is con templated under plans now being con Idered by the city planning1 commis sion. Looking ahead five years or more, the. commission sees the Imperative necessity of facilitating freer move ment of railroad trains, street cars and automobiles, because of the certainty that in time the number of autos will be twice as great as at present. While nothing definite has been de cided upon, the general outline of the ll.in proposed alms to follow the traffic arrangement at the Broadway bridge, where railroad trains move under the structure, with autos and other traffic carried overhead. Reconstruction of the Burnside and Morrison street bridges is counted an early necessity, and in this connection the commission will urge that provision be made for future growth of the city. Prellamlaarr tra4lea Ordered. Instructions were Issued yesterday by J. P. Newell, president of the com mission, to the commission's consultant to prepare preliminary studies and to request estimates from the city engi neer on the cost of overhead crossings for brlfige approaches on the central east side and for the re-location and Improvement of railroad service on the west side of the river. These atndles and estimates. It ia said, will be the subject of an early report to the city planning commission. A serious situation exists at the approaches to several of the bridges on the east side, where overhead crossings are urgently needed," said Mr. Newell. "On the west side of the river the Front-street situation demands atten tlon. This will Involve the whole study of railroad lines along the west side and east side, and their Interference with traffic I believe a solution be found, advantageous to the city and the railroads as well, Fvtwre ! Be Considered. "We are faced with the necessity of arly replacement of the Burnside and Morrison-street bridges and the city planning commission will work In co operation with the county and the city engineer for wider and easier bridge approaches, capable of carrying the much greater number of vehicles and traffic of all kinds which we must pre pare for now In order to be ready five years from now, when the number of automobiles alone la expected to be at least twice what we have in the city of Portland today. "In taking up this part of the ten era! city plan the commission has to act well in advance of the actual work ing plana and construction work, so that whichever piece of the work, bridge or street. Is to be taken up first will fit In and be a part of the perma nent whole, so that the work may not have to be done again at needleas ex pense a few years hence. Great econ omlea can be effected by a little fore sight at this time. "On the east side greater safety should be secured by placing the street cars and other traffic overhead. It ii Important to the Industrial develop ment of this part of the city that freeer passage of switching trains and all railroad traffic be secured and this can come only by separation of the grades some time in the near future. We In tend to find out now what the best plan would be. both for the public, the Industries and the railroads. Bacon 35c lb. TODAY ONLY! High-grade Sugar-Cured Backs.

Adv. 1 Movement Begun to Eliminate River Bridge and Build Dam to Bring Water Down Bitch. 1 HOOD RIVER, Or., Aug. 20. (Spe cial.) August ' Guignard, former di rector of the Irrigation system, sent to Salem by the present board, has re turned here with news that the con cern, which waters a large portion of the west side orcnard district, has re gained valuable power and water rights on Hood river. In connection with their supply of water for Irrigat ing orchards, the directors of the ditch company had filed on power rights, but because of a widespread opposition to such development the filing had. been allowed to lapse. Mr. Guignard, how ever, discovered that no other Indi vidual or concern had filed on the river rights and he at once renewed the company's old rights. "The point has been reached,'' said Mr. Guignard, "where considerable im provement Is necessary for a con tinuation of efficient service to the patrons of the Farmers' company. A movement is on foot to eliminate the bridge across Hood river by the con struction of a dam at our headworks and bringing our water down by a ditch on the west side of the river. A dam will give us a 55-foot fall, and we can develop 4000 horsepower. We have filed on 400 second-feet of water. Mr. Guignard said it will be neces- I sary In bringing the ditch company's water down the west side of the river to condemn riparian property pur chased by the Pacific Power & Light company.
