GRIFFITH VIOLATES
BUILDING ORDINANCE
W. R. Griffith, tha contractor in
charge of the construction of the five
story frame building at Fourteenth and
Salmon streets, was arrested yesterday
afternoon on complaint of Building In
spector O. E. Dobsoh. who accuses him
of violating the building regulations.
Orlffith was given a permit to con
struct a five story frame building, but
it was later ascertained that the city
ordinances limit the helsht of buildings
constructed or wood to four stories.
uobson notified the contractor that a
mistake had been made in issuing the
permit, ana warned mm not to build
above four stories. This warning, Dob-
auii says, was ignored. Tne case has

May Bract JTw Bridge.
The Mount Hood Electric railway Is
tha only company that la headed for the
vicinity of the eaat end of th ateel
bridge. The charter of this company
deacribed Its route aa being from a
point near the Northern Pacific Termi
nal company's station in Portland to
th southerly, base of Mount Hood.
This would necessitate the operation
of the line over the steel bridge or
over a bridge to be erected In the im
mediate vicinity.
River frontage at the plac where the
options are taken is valuable, and would
be much more so after docks were built
and the river dredged at thla point. The
total conalderation named in tne options
taken is aaid to be 1380,000. The prop
erties tie between the river and Crosby
street, and extend from Holladay ave
nue to a point four blocka aouth of the
ateel bridge.
a year ago tne u. k. a in. company
designed a plan of improving ita method
of reaching the steel bridge from Al-
blna and BL Johns, but the plan was de
cided to be impracticable and waa per
manently abandoned. At tne present
time cars from Alblna are switched
under the east end of the steel bridge
and som distance to the south, then a
connection is made with the main line
from Sullivan a gulch and the trafflo
is sent over the bridge.
The use of the four blocks to the
north of the bridge waa contemplated
for the purpose of making an easy curve
to and from the east end of the bridge.
Options were taken on the property, but
aa the plan waa abandoned the options
ran out.

The situation was becoming strained

"Well, if there la a burglar here the
