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.

UNSIGHTLY
FRECKLES
Instantly Removed
Try this simple formula: Go to any
toilet counter and get a bottle of Der
willo; apply two or three times daily,
then watch the freckles disappear. The
very first application proves It. Once
you try it you will never be without it.
Thousands use it in place of face pow
der, as it not only removes freckles,
but instantly beautifies the complexion
as well. There is no substitute for
Derwlllo as no other freckle remover
does this. It gives you a rosy, white,
velvety skin everyone "Just loves to
touch." Sold at all department and
drug stores with the distinct under
standing that if you are not pleased in
every way you get your money back.
NOTE A leading druggist recently inter
viewed, said: "We have never sold any
freckle remover which gives better satisfac
tion than Derwlllo. It Is having an enor

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.
