St ' Right of Way Additional Townsites Are Platted. The reinforced concrete bridge across Sullivan' Gulch on East Twenty -eighth street will be completed In about a month. Rapid proaress is being made by the Pacific BrUlge Work!, which has the contract. All the wooden portions of the structure are completed and the concrete Is now being mixed and poured Into the forms. Completion of this bridge will form a connection across Sullivan's Oulch for streetcar traffic. There has been a de cided movement south of the gulch. The Sullivan tract, which ' was recently platted, has been partly sold. Lots brought JSOOand . where they had formerly been sold for 1300 and 400. The completion of this bridge will greatly help that entire district, especially the section north of Sullivan's Gulch, which at present has no carline or way to reach carllnes south of th gulch. Widen Klllingsworth Avenue. The widening of Klllingsworth avenue awaits the opinion of the City Attorney as to whether it can be undertaken at this time, while an improvement is unde,r way. The avenue Is being paved be tween Union and Patton avenue. An other contract Is pending between Pat ton avenue and Willamette boulevard, but Is held up by the movement to make the street 80 feet wide from the boule vard to the city limits eastward. Also east of Union avenue, proceedings started to open the street 60 feet wide have been suspended for the present. It Is said that the people prefer making Klllings worth avenue fO feet wide to the city limits if it can be done. If. the widening can be accomplished Klllingsworth avenue will be one of the finest highways on the East Side, extend lrg from the Willamette boulevard eastward a distance of nearly six miles and connecting with Rose City Park. The promoters of this scheme do not expect to disturb the paving contract between. Union and Patton avenues now being carried out, but the purpose Is to get the street line fixed on both side of the avenue, and then at the end of the life of the pavement, ten years, move all buildings back. Meanwhile all new build ings could be built on the new street lines. A business center has already been developed on Klllingsworth avenue, where hard-surface pavement Is being put down. On the corner of Klllingsworth and Albina avenues W. H. Foster bought the southwest corner, with a two-story frame building, a short time ago of J. H. Nolta for J15.000.. and he says ilie" Is entirely satisfied with his Investment. Mr. Fos ter says that he will move his building bacK the moment it is decided to widen the street. Francis I. McKenna, who owns over a block on the avenue, ad vocates the widening, and points out that it would mean Increase of value for every lot on the street. He cite the result of the widening of Dawson street at University Park and Portsmouth, where the value of lots has more than doubled. There la a big residence dis trict east of Union avenue which a wide street would benefit w Factory District, It Is considered likely that Sullivan's Gulch for a considerable distance will be made a warehouse and factory district. A start has been made in that direction. Plans are now being drawn for the four story factory building for the Portlid Mill & Fixture Company and the Port land Pulley Company, which are to be combined In one large concern on East Twenty-sixth street. The ground Is now graded and ready for the structure. Two acres will be occupied. The Doernbecker Furniture Factory was the first concern to select a location in Sullivan's Oulch. It employs nearly 200 men. The com bined companies which are building at Cast Twenty-sixth street will employ 100 men. Across from the new plant is the two-story warehouse of Blake A McFall. Several other sites have been sold In this gulch. . Growth to Southward. South of Kelly road. Including Wood stock and Treraont, a new residence dis trict is being developed. At the corner of Kelly road and the Woodstock road v J; .000 building has just been completed. At Ivanhoe half a dozen large buildings have been erected, including a general store on the car track. At Woodstock there is a constant building movement southward, eastward and westward. Set tlements have extended southward nearly a mile. Woodstock, is an old suburb, compared with the other suburbs In the southeast, and It contains an excellent class of houses. This Is especially true of the buildings west of the Woodstock car line on the brow of the hill, overlooking Portland and the Willamette River. Alone Kelly road eastward there Is a new growth of homes. Small houses and tents ire seen, which have been put up and occupied by the purchasers to escape rent In town. All through this district there Is a good sale of lots to home-builder. A lot sold one day is occupied by a tent or temporary house a few days after ward. East and west of the old Milwau kie road may be counted over 20 tents and as many more small houses. After a time the tents will disappear and In their place will come attractive cottages. The county has built some . good roads through this section. Build Sawmill at Milwaukie. The Holloway mill, at Milwaukie, is now being erected. Some time ago the Oregon City Pulp Company purchased two acres on the water front at Milwaukie for the site of a sawmill, to be used in cut ting up Cottonwood logs into blocks for manufacturing pulp for use at the Oregon City mills. A sidetrack Is being laid to the stte and work Is now under way. A considerable number of men will be em ployed at this mill. The shingle mill at Milwaukie. which was recently purchased by the. Hose City Shingle company. Is being operated to its full capacity. The contract for a bungalow for I Mc Cormick has been let to Mayor Shlndler, who will start work at once. In a few weeks the City Hall of Milwaukie will be completed. A number of dwellings are under way. and others are to be built. In the Sellwood tract, which wa recently platted, a number of cottages are being built. At the east side of Milwaukie, In the Mlnthorny district, also considerable land has been sold and several new houses are being built. There is Inquiry for acreage tracts at ililwaukie.
