Engineer Modjeski Has ' Prepared Esti-
; mates for Both Structures Across Wil-

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. The Madison bridge I al

The charter requires the council to

expire; It will be up some time -during
the coming month and In the meantime
a conclusion must be reached somehow.
Our association, which haa a member

any of the bridge designs or recom

large questions of publlo policy regard
ing tha clty'a future and also In a finan

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

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

The letter which has been sent to the

In his speech at Danville, Ikfr. Taft
paused In the course of his remarks to
answer the question, "What about the
panic T" fired at him by some man In I
tha audience.
"Well, I will tell you about the panic,"
no axciaimea. but. oryan says it is
nepuDiican panic When you compare
it with the Democratic panics, such as
we had In 1698, It Is a very little one,
and the Repubiloan party is able to oure
iu it came Because in tne excess or

"I. have no doubt you are." continued
Mr. Taft. "because you are committed
