MADISON BRIDGE FAVORED Objections Against New Structure at Market Street. ?ORTLA May 14. (To the Kdltor.) Movement to rhan thn 1 oca t Ion of th Martlsnn brUw from Hawthorne avenu to East Market street means disruption of business conditions on Hawthorne avenue and an expensive nriipe that will cost from I1.S00.U00 to I2.0CV0OO. And that. too. without corrospondina; benefit to the city. The motives beck of this attempt lo fasten on the city another bis; bond Issue ere rot difftcnlt to find- A . Van HnomlMn owns a qusrter block on I'nlon avenue and Kt Mill, street. He Is was whn conceived thft irif-a of erectlnc the hrlrtsre at East lill street, n'de by side with his property, and spent time and money In circulating; petitions for this chanire. He r tended F'ush c!ub meet in sts. maklnsr bitter ts!ka Impugning the motives of everyon who did not agree with him that the bridge oucht to be built alongside his property, but owins; to the rawness of the attempt to locate this bridge alongside his quarter block, he decided to looate it at East Mar ket street, which is not far from his quar ter block. That seems to be the motive that nas been bark of this movement. ' . - An Impartial examination of the situation will convince any one that the s-.heme means disaster and disruption for the South K.t Side. Hawthorne" avenue Is an es tablished hlrhway. It Is 70 feet wide, out to Mount Tabor. It Is now being paved at an expense of f ITl.ooo to the property ownera. The Portland Railway, Light Power Company Is laying heavy stesl rmlls au an expense of $125. 0fO. It Is an -established hlghwajr out into the country connecting with all the county roads. nan re of location of the brides to Kast Market street would disors;anlae and dis rupt present condirlons. without corre.rvon.1- ir.g t?nent. The tncreae tn the value of tne ho, dmgs of Van Hoomtssen and nil as sociate in the scheme cannot be 'considered In connection with the tremendous ...sses that must result from such supreme folly .ast Market runs to the Idd Addition and ends there. All e-reetrara and ve hicles that are run te Hawthorne a-venue would have to be taken six blocks out of the way In order to reach th bridjre. which! in the course of a year, means a tremendous waste of time and money. Hut consider the delays that eouitt re nt la a change. It would moan two or three years before' any bnde could be bujit. Already the losses consequent upon the closing of th-a Madison bridge cavxt more than the cost of the brtdae. It raeana that a franchise from the War Department Tp.T)f -He obnlned as tb ftrt step toward a brida at East Markat street. How Lna !t would require to obtain such franchise from the War teparinient can only be iurtred by the past. It rr.lsht take a ye-ir b-f ,re the matt-jur could be cot past the War Department. Wound In s must be made of the Willamette Klver and Lorn pie t data muat be submitted to the War Department, a work that could not be done under six months. It Is safe to estimate that under the most favorable conditions, work -n a new brldxe at Kst Market, or at any street other than Hawthorne avenue. rou not be marled under la months It w o u '. d take fully a year or more to let the con tract and ereLf the bridge. Itra nv on, realize what such, delay means T If one wiii wltnesa the scenes that are now en acted every morning and night at the in teraction of Grand aod Hawthorn, ave nues, the Inconveniences, the diacom fit urea and torturing delays suffered by thousands of people men. women and children from the Mount Scott and etlwood districts, he might have sm Idea- what su-h a delay In rebuilding Madison bridge means.
