MEXhTEE'S CTRCVLAU LKTTKU
feajs Selfish Motives Inspired Hancock-Street
-Agitation.
In a communication to representative
business and professional men through
cut the city. Councilman Menefee sets
forih, his- views on tbc proposed bascule
bridge across the- "VVillameUe River in no
uncertain terms, and makes significant
reference. to "certain, pvrsons." , whom he
says he swljewea "ware inspired by self
U)i motives in star;i:ig an . agitation to
have the location .of the-projected- bridge
changed, or defeat the whole project."
ru .U M. Davis, Mr. Menefee status, "Is
PONS
evidently leading the movement." so .that
the doctor Is apparently Included In Mr.
Menefeo's "certain psrsons" clause. Mr.
Menefee airo .declarea that the petition.
wh1ch has been filed with the Councir, Is
defective, as 1m lays it la not signed by
electors, but by women and perhaps by
children.
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.
Mr. Menefee'a letter U as follows:
You are undoubtedly faiuWar the
proceedings that have been Initiated for
the acquisition. of another bridge acrosa the
Willamette River .When the alt,-itloa for
this bridge was started by the .North East
kl Improvement Association. It was
thought that the point where Hancock
ru-eet if .extended woula Intersect with
Urra-bee ,tr.-, .would be a proper location
for an East Ride approach, but this opinion
was not concurred In by alL ' Bome aug
gestej Albina avenue as being- the proper
location: others euggestor that a tube under
the river was the proper aolutlon of the
problem, arid ' In order to arrive at a cort-r-usion
as to what would be best for the
whole community the Council was asked
to and old appropriate ."00t to employ
the noted export. Ilalph Modjeskl. to go
Into the matter thoroughly, of preparlisg
prellmtmiry plans and eatihiatea for both
tube and bridge ,.,- ; ,
As a result of this action Mr. Modjeskl
submitted a roj,ort and preliminary plans
and estimates for twe bridges and one tuba
One for a high brldre to o oves all ship

HUMK OV OUlKT l.ODtiR, I. 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. We need tlie
support of every Interested citizen and espe

COST OF. WORK CUT
Pacific Bridge Co. Denies Bid
.' for' Fill Is Unreasonable.
MAKES REPLY TO. 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'

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.

L03 ANGELES, Dec. 19. John Mur
ray, one of the few highwaymen cap
tured and convicted in this county in
recent years, was today placed on pro
bation for a period of five years by
Judge Johnson. If he breaks his pa
role he will be sentenced to 15 years
in the penitentiary.
One of the main reasons for granting
the parole was the fact that Murray's
wife and two young children would
be without support if he was sent to
prison. Murray, with an accomplice,
who escaped, held up and robbed a
young man and woman in the eastern
