There is to be a special meeting of the bridge committee- of the Council, of which Councilman .Menefee is chairman, next Tuesday afternoon at I o'clock, and it la certain tljat there will be a lively session, as all parties to the controversy will be on hand to state their side f the case.

O. O. F, K 1ST SIXTH AN1 EAST ALDER STREETS. The handsome reinforced concrete building of Orient Lodge. No. 17. I. O. O. F., on tlie corner of East Sixth and East Alder streets, has been completed, and the hall on the second floor Is being elegantly fur nished. It will be occupied for the first time on the night of December 23, when a large class will be Initiated. Later It will be decided when the dedicatory exercises will be held. The hall on the second floor Is one of the finest in the city. Besides the main hall there is a banquet hall on the Becond floor. Besides Orient, Golden Rule Encampment and two Rebekah lodges will meet In this hall after it has been furnished. The building and furniture represent an expenditure of 30,000. of all river trafrio and with a bascule draw to allow the jaasaise of sea-going vessels, and provided for a landing at the Inter section of Broadway and Lerrabee streets on the Kaat Kids and - Sixth and Irving on the West Side. ' In this report Mr. Modjeikl entered Into J a cenoral discussion of the various plans and estimates, also the various locations, and recommended that- a medium high brldse nith the bascule draw, be located at Broadway and Larrahee streets on the Kast Sine and Sixth and Irving streets on the West Plde. In discussing the various locations Mr. Modjeskl asserted that It would he Inadvisable to build a bridge at Hancock street. In that the piers would be a serious obstruction to navls;atlon. as at that particular point the river Is widest and It Is the natural turning point for large vessels. This opinion has been confirmed by the river pilots and river men gener ally. .' Being convinced of the wisdom of Mr. Modjeskl's recommendations tho Council passed an ordinance calling a special elec tion -to be held -on -the-2Sd day of April. J:09, for the purpose of giving the people an opportunity of voting f"r an act to amend the charter and provide for the Is suance of bonds for the construction of a bridge along the lines suggested bv Mr. Modjeskl to land on the East Bide at Broadway and Larrabee streets, and at Kixth and Irving streets on the West Side. After all this has been done certain per sons whom f believe were Inspired by aolflsh motives started an agitation to either have the location of the prolected bridge changed or defeat the whole project, and with this purrose caused the circulation of a pe tition which was slimed by prohahly 1000 people. It was In no sense a referendum petition, as it was not confined to legal voters, and If the petition, as worded, was acted upon favorably by the Council It would have the effect of providing for two bridges. Instead of one This, however, was not ' the Intention, as explained by Dr. L. M. Davis. "Who evidently leading the movement. " He explained that the purpose was to have two locations submitted to the people. This would have the effect of undolns; all that has been done toward tho securine of tills greatly needed utility and we believe the ultimate result would be a lone; delay and possibly the defeat of the mhole. proposition. Now tlie situation Is Just this: A number of the representative cltlxens of the . dis trict north of Sullivan"s Uuich. as well as myself, aa the representative of the Ninth Ward In the Council, have been working; on this bridge project persistently and ener getically for a year, with the one thought and purpose of getting a bridge that would be of the ereatest benefit to the greatest number, and we feel that this is a matter of vital Importance to every resident of this district to be served. At a meeting of the special bridge .committee of the Council there were Indications that some of the Couneilmen were willing to accede to the wishes and demands of a few persona who pretend to represent the people s. ho signed the petition herein referrd to. which I may say was In no .sense representative. It Is my candid belief that nine-tenths of the. reo ple who signed the petition signed it with the one Idea that they were doing j-o for the purpose of helping to get a bridge across the river, and knew nothing; about the scheme to change the location or kill the whole project. The committee, however, adjourned to meet at the City Hall next Tuesday. De cember I'J. at 2 o'clock P. M. for the pur pose or fnrther going Into the matter and considering the petition retornd to. I would be deeply grateful if you would be present at that meetlntr. and hope you will find It convenient to do so.

MAYOR Manager Simons Says Tender for East Madison-Street Job Is at 25 Per Cent Reduction Har bor ' Improved ' Free. ' Mayor Lane's remarks before the street committee of the Executive Board last Thursday afternoon have caused' considerable discussion, espe cially among the contractor. The Mayor said, during the consideration of a bid by- the Pacific Bridge Company for filling East Madison rtreet, between East Third street and Union arenue. that it would be well for the city to buy a dredge and make its own fills. The City Auditor advertised four times for bids on this work, and each time tho bid of the company mentioned was above the City Engineer's estimate. It was contended by the latter that the fill should be made for not to, exceed 37 cents per cubic yard. The Did was for 80 cents a cubic yard. , Commenting yesterday upon the re marks of the Mayor, Manager Simons, of the Pacific Bridge Company, said: I am afraid the Mayor's remarks will lead people to believe that we are raising the price of filling, when, as a matter of fact, exactly the reverse Is true, and this statement can be verified by an Inspection of the records In the City Auditor's office covering street improvements in East Port land, where this company has been the contractor. We made the improvement of streets a department in our business about four years ago, and tho greater portion of our work has been the filling of old barricaded, dilapidated elevated roadways located In the very heart of the business section of Kast Portland. The .price for the Initial contract en that district was 40 cents a cubic yard for the improvement of East Washington street and nearly '50,000 worth of similar work had been under contract with other parties In South Portland at the same price. Our source of supply for filling material In the vicinity of Montavllla became ex hausted making It necessary to seek else where for a large borrow pit. We have constructed an economical plant for filling the low lands and making the street improvements In Kast Portland by dredging material from the river bed where the bottonf is only five feet below the sur face of the water hetwee"n the Morrison and the Madison-street bridges. This leaves 2.1 feet of water, since the Port of Portland is spending hundreds of thousands of dol lars of the city's money for deepening tlie harbor, our work must be admitted to be of great benefit since It is done without charge. To be in position to minimize the price for Improvements means that we have made a large outlay and the reduction of blda from 4 cents to 30 cents a cubio yard, or 2,t per cent, certainly Dhows a disposition on our part to be fair, as 30 cents is the lowest price for which filling of this char acter has been done in this city. The Mayor's remarks would create the Impression that we are bidding above the City Engineer's estimate of cost, but as a matter of fact at the time the estimate for East Madison-street improvement was made, tbe Executive Board, with the Mayor aa chairman, was letting contracts at 10 per cent above the face of the city Engineer' WATCHES SOLID GOLD WATCHES $20 to $125 If : II in m i ' mimin I 11 fir"' Solitaire fOCRTH , FLOOR CORBETT estimate of probable east, and the City En gineer always reduced his estimated cost this same 10 per cent. 'We are. therefore, bidding Juet what the City Engineer ex pected, as we told him that owing to our better facilities, we could reduce the price of contracts of this character. , Of course, the Mayor has been successful in delavlng the letting of the contract for this street Improvement where owners are anxious to have means of Ingres or egress to their property, but whether he la justified In doing so when tbsse owners who are aa aessed for the Improvement of the street are anxious to have the worst proceed, at the price bid, may be open to question. In any event we want it understood that the Pacific Bridge Company la lowering the price of filling streets, not raising, as the Mayor would have the people believe.
