North Portland Harbor Plan
Hits New Snag.
BRIDGE HELD ENDANGERED
Railway Officials Trite Port of
Portland That Body Will Be
Liable for Damage.
Prosecution of the North Portland
harbor Improvement project struck a
serious snag at a meeting of the Port
of Portland commission yesterday aft
. - ernoon Five railroads using the
' railroad bridge across Oregon slough
or North Portland harbor, presented
opinions from their own chief engi
neers and from consulting engineers
In the east to the effect that improve
"nent of the channel in this water
way, either by -the closed channel or
open channel methods, probably
would endanger the bridges crossing
' the slough and the Columbia river.
The railroads stated that they would
hold the port responsible for any
damage done to their bridge by the
disturbance of present conditions.
Officials Slga Letter.
The communication from the rail
roads bore the signatures of the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle Railway
company, by W. F. Turner, president;
the Northern Pacific Railway com
pany, by George T. Reld, assistant to
the president; the Oregon-wasmng-ton
Railroad & Navigation company,
by J. P. O'Brien, general manager.
and the Great Northern Railway com
pany, by L. C Gilman, vice-president.
All the documents in tne case, in
eluding the protest of the railroads,
were ordered transmitted to the
United States engineers with the ap
plication of the port for a permit to
proceed with the development.
The application of the port for per
mission from the war department to
Improve North Portland harbor con
tains a stipulation that the Port of
Portland shall be protected from lia
bility to the same extent as would be
the government if it carried out the
Improvement.
Immunity Is Sought.
The stipulation continues: "That
the Port of Portland shall not be re
sponsible to the owners of the rail
road bridge, the Interstate bridge, the
Portland Railway. Light & Power
company bridge or any other bridge
or trestle across Oregon slough or the
Columbia river, or to any other per
son, firm or corporation for any dam
ages that may or might be caused to
their respective property or proper
ties by reason of the development of
said harbor."
The apparent deadlock that has
arisen through the insistence of the
. North Portland industries and inter
ests for the development of their
waterway, the refusal of the port
commission to proceed with the. im
provement unless relieved from all
liability consequent thereto, and the
refusal of the railroads to relieve the
port from such liability, will be endod
with the final reference of the entire
- matter to, the United States engineers.
Project May Go On.
If the war department adopts the
project as its own, to be prosecuted
at the expense of the Port of Port
land, but with the protection of gov
ernmental authority, it Is possible
that. North Portland harbor may be
improved in spite of the objections
of the railroads.
If the United States government is
not willing to assume responsibility
for this improvement and extend the
protection of its authority to the
Port of Portland, the programme for
the development of North Portland
.. harbor will be ended before its in
ception, although funds for the espe
cial purpose of improving this water
way were made available to the port
at the last session of the legislature.
The communication from the rail
roads to the port, which promises to
. be the blow that killed North Port
land harbor, read as follows:
"Communications have been re
" eeived from various representatives
of industries located as North Port
land, asking the co-operation of the
1 railroads interested in- the double-
track bridge which crosses the Co
lumbia river and Oregon slough. In a
plan to create a channel In Oregon
. slough as far as the Interstate high
way bridge.
Increased Current Objection.
- "We understand that the subject
has been given consideration by you,
and that you have various plans
under consideration which contem
plate materially increasing the vol
ume of the flow of water in either
Oregon slough or the main channel
of the Columbia river.
"Reply has been made to the com
' munications of the representatives of
these industries, calling attention to
the fact that the engineers of the
undersigned railroad companies con
sider that any material Increase in
such flow is liable to endanger and
possibly destroy the railroad bridge,
and also the inter-state highway
bridge. The undersigned assume that
you have no intention of undertaking
any development at this point which
will endanger these structures and I
Imperil the transportation facilities of
the coast, for any interruption to
traffic over the railroad bridge would
result in cutting the only line of rail
communication between the north and
California.
Liability ! Maintained.
"The responsibility for any such
development resulting in the impair
ment of rail facilities would, of course,
render the authority responsible
therefor answerable to this com
munity and would likewise render you
liable for actual and consequential
damages sustained by the carriers.
"We shall, of course, be glad to
confer with you upon, the general
subject, but cannot consent to any
project which imperils our property,
nor relieve you from legal liability
for any resulting damage, but would
hold you responsible therefor When
industries reply will advise you fur
ther. "Tours truly,

Dock Commission Indicates Inten
tion to Keep Portland as In
expensive as Any on Coast.
To meet a reduction recently ef
fected by the Seattle port commission
in Its tariff on handling pig lead, the
commission of public docks yesterday
morning reduced the wharfage charge
on this commodity from 25 cents to
15 cents a ton. The storage charge
of t . cents, loading or unloading
charge of 35 cents and handling
charge of 35 cents, previously in ef
fect here, were not affected.
This action was indicative of the
purpose of the dock commission to
keep Portland as inexpensive a port
for shippers as any on the coast and
to meet whatever reductions In port
charges' are made at other Pacific
ports.
The revenues from the operation
of Portland's municipal terminals set
a new high mark at a total of $68,267
