It was neid that the draw bridge Is out of date. There was strong objoctton made to the proposed plan of construction which the city had formulated. It provides for a 160-foot draw, which mean waterway or that width on each side of a draw rest erected in the center of the river. This was believed to be too narrow. The present waterways are aoout reet wide. A representative of the city govern ment in attendance said that funds are not available to build a larger strue ture than that planned, which will cost $400,000. It would cost an additional 160.000 to build a rolling lift brldae. proviuing a waterway 190 feet wide. Capt Jones suggested that this addi tional amount be taken up by subscriD- tlon, declaring that he would contribute his share. The meeting was called to order at 2:15 o clock, with MhJ. Langfltt In the cnair. ita purpose was to hear all com plaints and suggestions that might be offered concerning the reconstruction of the Morrison street bridge, and learn In what manner and to what extent the new structure would Interfere with navigation.

In filling around- the piers for the draw-rest, he said, la practically the same as building an Island In the' mid dle of the river channel. It would make It difficult to handle boats there with aafety. He urged the erection of rolling-lift bridge. Qeorge Taylor of the grain export rm of Taylor, Young & Co., said: "The pier in the middle of the stream pon which the draws rest has the ef fect of splitting the current, and makea almost Impossible to take vessels through without accident. London has one of the finest rolllng-llft bridges spanning the river Thames, and it gives excellent satisfaction. One has also been recently erected In Chicago, and the aame favorable reporta are heard concerning It. Portland should have a bridge similar to these. The additional cost Is trifling, and should not be per mitted to stand in the way. The ship ping Interests of the port are assuming vast proportions up the river above the Morrison and Madison street bridges, and larger steamers are going up there each year.
