That the bridge of the Portland
Seattle Railroad oompany across the
WUUmettershould be (0 feet above low
water mark, rather than It feet, as pro
vided for in the plans, la the contention
of W. B. Ayer In a communication ad
dressed to the Port of Portland com'
mission. He argues that a bridge only
It feet above low water mark Is aa ob
struction to commerce. Mr. Ayer etates
that there was a general understanding
when the steel bridge was constructed
that no more It-foot bridges should be
built His communication In full Is
follows:
TCrnandTJan. I. To the lfembers
of the Port of Portland Commlsslon--
Oentlemen: Referring to the oommunl'
cation of the engineers of the Portland
Seattle Railway company, published
In this morning's Oregon Ian. covering
their arguments against ' raising the
proposed bridge across the entrance of
our harbor to f root eoove tow water,
I would call your attention to the fol
lowing: .......
"When the right to span the river
was granted to the owners of the steel
bridge the feeling was pronounced that
at no future time and under no condi
tions would another bridge be permitted
to cross the river to further obstruct
our harbor and to hinder, navigation;
and to that end the following clause
was Inserted by the legislature In the
grant to the O. R. st N. Co.:
. -- ivegtslaelve aVovteleev
That the legislative assembly of
this state shall have the right, power
and 'authority at any time to prescribe
such rules, regulations and rates of toll
for transit and transportation ovsr said
bridge and the management thereof as
may be deemed proper, and reasonable,
except that the county court of Multno
mah county Is hereby authorised to rue.
alter and establish from time to time
the rates of toll to bo charged by such
corporation or Us assigns for the pass
age of footman (footmen), vehicles and
ordinary travel other than rail; pro
vided, that said, corporation or its as-
corporatlon or Its assigns to use salo
bridge. In the. Sams manner and under
the same rules and regulations as said
corporation or ita assigns authorised to
construct and use said bridge aa may
be prescribed for its own trafflo across
said bridge on paying a reasonable com
pensation therefor; and - In case said
companies shall not agree, then the
governor, secretary of state and stats
treasurer of this state shall constitute
board to determine what said com
pensation shall be, with power to send
for persons and papers and compel at
tendance and production thereof, and
to administer oaths and take testimony
for the 1 purpose of arriving at a cor
rect -decision In referenoe to the com
pensation to be paid; and this decision
shalr-oe-flnat unless altered or changed
by the legislature.'
"Now comes the Portland Seattle
Railway,' owned Jointly by the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern Rati we y
companies. Ignoring their right to cross
the steel bridge, making Independent
surveys and demanding the right .to
plaoe an obstruction across ths entrance
to tur. harbor, .and considering any
modification of their plana which tends
to lessen the damage to our port as
hostile and uncalled for..
, Boaa Zs Wslooaae. ,
"Every cltlsen of Portland greets
with open arms the coming of this
road, and every one desires that there
should .be no unreasonable obstacle
placed In their way.. ..Neither d we de
sire that our port should have obstruc
tions placed across It when the same
can be avoided by the expenditure of
a comparatively small sum of money,
an amount Insignificant when compared
with the millions spent on our river
by the Port of Portland and the United
States government, and after- all our
labor, past, present and future, to make
and maintain a port -
The river commerce of this city is
large and constantly growing, and with
the opening of the obstructions st

"And to quote from the communica

scattered throughout the stats: '
The competition for foreign lumber

pediment which results in higher port
charges necessarily Increases the char
ter rates and has a decided tendency
to drive commerce to-more favorably
situated porta The foreign lumber
trade of Portland has been developed at
a greet expenses-end It would be most
unwise and unfortunate at. this time to
throw any further obstacles In the path
of commerce by ths erection of a low
bridge across ths entrance to the har
bor at Portland. . ,
"The objection of the. englneere to
Increasing the height of the proposed
bridge Is on account of ths Initial coat
and Increased expense of operation.
From the maps filed with you It is
shown that the grade from the Colum
bla bridge to tho Willamette bridge as
located gives an up grade for about
half the distance of two-tenths of 1 per
cent and then a down grade of two-
tenths of 1 per cent - By raising the
height to feet it gives them an all up
grade of two-tenths of 1 per cent con

It is practically four miles from the
west end of the draw of the Willamette
bridge to the North Pacific Lumber
company's plant, and In this distance
they have to drop. If the bridge la lifted
to a (0-foot clearance, less than If feet;
In Which distance they can easily main
tain a low grade. .i --
Tho engineers state In their communi
cation that the O. R. s N. Co. has built
at great expense to miles of road
around Bt. Johns . to avoid .the . grade
through 'Sullivan's gulch. ' And yet the
Portland at Beattla objects to the com

of this distance,, It has not advised you
what the grade of the proposed cut-off
of the O. R. A N. will be.. As they refer
to the matter, it Is proper for you to be
Informed, and I find upon Inquiry that
several surveys - have been made, and
the one that will probably be selected
will havs a maximum grade of five
tenths of one per cent If the west ap
