Enthusiasm Lacking for Pro
posed Structure.
COST DECLARED TOO HIGH
$6,000,000 Estimate Compared
Willi Huge Interstate Span Which
Cost Only $1,750,000.
Lack of enthusiasm among taxpay
ers for the proposed expenditure of
nearly $6,000,000 for a handsome con
crete and steel brides replacing the
present Burnside street span, 90 feet
wide and extending from Union ave
nue to Third street. Is a distinct re
action from the announcement of
Multnomah county commissioners that
a bond issue to build such a structure
would be presented to voters lu No
vember. Though generally conceded that the
present Burnside bridge is rapidly
becoming unsafe for heavy traffic,
the paying of $6,000,000 to replace a
bridge which cost $250,000 Is provlne
too stiff a jolt, even In the face of
the higher cost of labor and materials
and the necessity for a larger struc
ture. Particularly is the sum believed
unnecessarily high when compared
with the interstate bridge which, with
Its eight miles of approaches, making
one of the longest in the world,, cost
only $1,750,000.
Coat Believed Excessive.
The limit to which Multnomah
county may be bonded for permanent
roads or bridges would be reached
with a bond issue of approximately
$5,600,000, leaving no opportunity for
future essential development along
these lines until reduced by tax pay
ments. "While I hava not personally inves
tigated the plans for the proposed
bridge. It seems to me that such an
excessive cost should be looked Into
thoroughly," commented H. B. Van
Duzer, president of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday.
The future of Portland depends upon
the commercial developmnt of ids
water front and thia must not be sac
rificed because of tremendous expen
ditures in other directions, even at
considerable cost to the public."
Old Bridge Believed Good.
Though believing that traffic con
ditions In the city require a new
bridge, City Engineer Laurgaard does
not think the Burnside structure is In
dangerous condition as yet or that It
could not hold Its own by extensive
repairs, for several years. Not having
gone Into comparative costs, Mr.
Laurgaard did not wish to comment
on the sum estimated as necessary
for the new bridge, except to say
that It appeared very high.
In planning the water front of the
future in Portland the city engineer's
office has contemplated a new Bum
side bridge, with the approach going
only as far as Second street on the
west side, 'decking at least four feet
lower than in the proposed span, and
90-foot Instead of 110-foot wide ap
proaches. Proposal la Championed.
S Benson, chairman of the state
highway commission, whose bridge en
gineer, C. B. McCullough. submitted
the tentative general plan and esti
mate to county commissioners, be
lieves a bridge of the typo and cost
estimated to be the proper structure
to reDlace the Burnside span.
"It would carry the traffic of all
five bridges. Is necessary, and would
last 100 years," he commented yester
day.
In considering the cost of the pro-
cosed bridge. Mr. Benson pointed out
that It is necessary to segregate the
$8,000,000 estimate Into units, for in
stance, the cost of the bridge proper
is estimated at $4,700,000, or 300 per
cent srreater than It would cost in
normal times. The larger sum is
reached by estimating the cost of
land to be condemned by reason of
wider, longer approaches than those
of the present bridge, at $680,000, with
the regrading of streets, removal of
the old bridge, architects' fees and In
cidentals making up the balance.
Plana Held Too Klaborte.
Trafflo experts of Portland, though
unwilling to be quoted until they have
made more thorough Investigation of
costs, are a unit In believing that the
tremendous sum of $6,000,000 is ex
cessive for a new Burnside bridge.
Their chief criticism of the proposed
plan Is that the plans are too elabor
ate and unnecessarily expensive.
Considerable sums could be lopped
off the cost by shortening the ap
proaches by one block on each side
of the river and distributing traffic
nearer the water front. It Is declared.
The 90-foot width of the bridge might
remain because of future trafflo de
mands, but the 110-foot width of ap
proaches could be cut to 90 feet, sav
ing not only In building expense but
In land condemnation.
The type of bridge proposed la ap
plauded generally by engineers as not
only good looking but strong. Trusses
underneath rather than above the
decking are approved by many and
the bascule type of draw span is Bald
to be the quickest In action.
