PLANS READY FOR HIGH 1 SALE' OF tatt nnirp 50 r BRIDG E AND Engineer Modjeski Has ' Prepared Esti- ; mates for Both Structures Across Wil- - lamette and Will PresenThem Tues day - Need for Bridge Relief Is - Constantly Growing. That the eounoli chamber In the city hall will be crowded to the.dqore next Tuesday morning when Consulting Ka glneer Ralph Modjeskl presents tenta tive dUri for high bridge over the Willamette and a subway ander the rtrer, la predicted by those Instrumental In renin the city council to engage the engineer and appropriate a fund for that purpose. It must be taken up for final settlement In a few day a or go back to lta original stage by reason of be proviaiona or ma ouy cnaner. Tho question la ona that haa boon agl tated for all of a year. It having f lrat ben takan up by the North Eaat Bid , Improvement association, of which Judge M. Q. Munly la president Presi- dent Manly eaya tha need for a high bridge and eventually a aubway aa pro posed, bv the aaaoclatlon are greatly more apparent now than when the mat ter waa first broached 'In aarneat '- High Bridge Proposed, -. The proposed project la to have a bridge apan the river at a point some ' where below the ateel bridge and above ' the course of the ferry W. 8. Mason, and sufficiently elevated to permit sail ing vessels of lofty rigging to paaa un der It without the necessity of a awing, cantilever or any other kind of draw. A. petition signed by 4,000 property own era Is on file at the city hall and action upon it haa been held In abeyance In an ticipation of the appearance of Engineer Modjeskl with his reports. , President Munly sees a greater neces sity for the bridge than ever and he 1 says there seems no good reason why the west sttle business men should not approve of it as strongly aa he or other eaat aider do. Bringing people across the river with the least possible delay throws business, to the west aide stores whereas to drive them to remain on their side of the river mean to drive business away, Judge Munly argued. , Both Plana Prepared. ! "Engineer' Modjeskl haa ' prepared plans and estimates of a high bridge acres the Willamette and also a aub way," said President Munly last night, "and will also express the feasibility i of a aubway. His report Is ready to go oerore the eounell when Mr. Modjeskl arrive here tomorrow, but In view of me importance er me question, in city oouncU will hold a special meeting at o'clock next Tuesday to receive the reports and document that Engineer Modjeskl haa prepared for considers tlon. and the executive board will also be present whea the documents are sub mitted. . - "The bridge trueetlon baa reached an acute stage.

Whether the council will adopt any of the bridge designs or recom mend a aubway Is a matter Involving large questions of publlo policy regard ing tha clty'a future and also In a finan cial way." ModJeskVe Big Job. Mr. Munly states that through a per. sonal letter he has been Informed that Engineer Modjeskl has been engaged to plan the reconstruction of the mam moth Montreal bridge over the Bt Law rence river which collapsed about a year ago, carrying with It aome 80 lives. This he considers a splendid indorse ment of Engineer Modjeskl's reputation aa a designer of large bridges such as ine one mat would he required in sD&n nlng the Willamette from the proposed points, one being In the neighborhood of Hancock atreet on the east elds, and the other on Park street beyond the terminal yards.
