APPROVAL OF HODJESKI'S
PLAN HOT UNANIMOUS
Thongh Citizens Generally Recognize Imperative Need
for New Bridge, Not a Few Object to Structure Pro
posed by Engineer Employed as Expert.
With th. election , over and ' the
question of. the presidency settled for
fbtir years more, the people of Portland,
ro have time to turn their attention
to municipal affairs. The matter of a
pew bridge across the "Willamette ap
pears to be the question that is most
in the publio mind.
That Portland roust have some ad
ditional means of transportation across
the river appears r be admitted Jay
everybody. But there" is a good deal
of. difference of . opinion as to what
this means sffall be.
Ralph Modjeski, the expert employed
by the city. In his report to the city
council and the mayor, favors the bas
cule type of bridge. His, opinion is
coincided in by many, but there are not
a few who oppose the lift draw struc
ture: Sbhie of them object to ' the pro
posed location of tbe bridge. Others
favor a suspension bridge in place of
the bascule type, while there are still
others who hold that the best thing
wouia oe a tunnel.
The rapid growth of the city, and
the present congested condition of
bridge traffic, seemingly make it Im-
?eratlve that a new bridge of some
ype, or a subway, shall be constructed
In the near future. The only question
la what is best for Portland as a whole?
l he Journal here quotes prominent men
living , on elfher side of the river In
reference? to Engineer Modjeskl's report.
Takes Judicial View.
Judge M. O. Munly takes a somewhat
judicial view of the matter.
"I think," he said thla morning,
"that there is no doubt that Modjeskrs
plans are practicable. The onlv trouble
is that these plans call for piers In
the river, double piers on each side,
and the question Js whether or not
they Will prove an objectionable ob
struction to navigation. But that is a

though it will digest and prepare for

you eat.
Indigestion Is a result, not a cause
of your trouble. If the Btomach is sour
and unhealthy, your food becomes
tainted, and thafs what is causing the
Indigestion and gas on stomach and
other miseries. Pape's Diapepsln is an
Antacid, most powerful digestive and
thorough regulator for weak stomachs.
These Trlangules will digest any kind
of food you eat and will cleanse the

which makes you feel line five minutes

that's all and takes about five minutes
to overcome, 1 ;, .
mere matter of detail. The council
specified no particular kind of a bridge,
the only requirements being that the
bridge must be of a certain heighth and
In a certain Dlace.
"The plan of Modjeski' is in view and
I think everybody believes it will be
adopted. Or course, all piers are an
obstruction to navigation.' The war de
partment has this last say as to
whether those proposed are objection
able. That is for the United States
government to say."
"I think It Is all a mistake to spend
such a large amount of money down
In that part of town." said C. K. Henry.
It is abwird. Ir we are going to
spend the money, it should be for a
tube. And we ought to fix up the
bridges we have now; put them in a
state of efficiency. The steel bridge
could easily be . fixed up so that it
would be much more efficient than It
now Is. I certainly think we ought to
have the tube, too. We must have
more facilities for crossing the river.
Fully 85 per cent of the people come
across the river in the streetcars. My
Idea Is that the city should bond itself
for the needed amount of money, say
for 25 or 30 years, and make the
streetcar company pay it back."
Swlgert Denies Story.
C. F. Swlgert is indignant over a
stui - published to the effect that he
appearpd before the board and, on be
half of the Port of Portland, opposed
the bascule type tit bridge as an ob
struction to navigation;
"1 never was in opposition to the
bridge, either officially or personal! y,"
he said this morning. "That is the
way some fools always get things.
The man that wrote that story might
as well have remained in his office
to do It, for he merely wrote what he
.thought would make the most sensa
tiofial storv, without any regard to the
facts. '
"I stated distinctly that I wis not
present officially, and I never opposed
the bridge. 1 did say that if there
was to be any objection to the bascule
bridge. It would be. better to have it
develoned' now than later. But the
Port of Portland Is very glad to be
relieved of any responsibility.
"I myself think- the bascule bridge
plan la a very good one, and the loca
tion selected is a good one. If we
are going to have another bridge I
believe Mr. Modjeskl's plans-should be
followed. He knows his business and
the city can't do better than to take
his advice In the matter."
McXenns ravors Basoule.
Francis I. McKenna. although he has
personally favored a subway, is willing
to submit to the Judgment of the ex
pert. . ., ,
"I am not a bridge expert, he said.
Tint met mv ludement UD
against that of Mr. Modjeski. I have ad-
vocatea a suoway, uui mi. .uuji
says it . Is not practicable, and I am
willing to take his word for it.
"Bui we must get better facilities.
If ' we can't go under the river, we
mint n nvr it. of course, a bridge
Is bound to be more or less of an ob
structions to navigation, out we can
get around that The congestion on
the bridges we now have la unendur

bridge is the best thing. He is an ex
pert and he ought to know."
"I thine It would be better for ths
present to take the O. R. N. bridge
ana maxt a gooa waim ununy
that" said C. F. Adams, president of
the Security Savings & Trust company.
"As tu tbe bridge recommended by Mr.
Modjeski, I don't care to express an
opinion at present. I haven't studied
matter.'
Thinks Modjeski
tight.
J. H. Nolta, a prominent member of
the West Albina Push club, is heartily
In favnr of the bascule bridge recom
mended by Engineer Modjeski. "Mr. Mod
jeski ought to know what is best."
says Mr. Nolta. "There Is no need of
our going to work and spending $3,
000,00') for a bridge if we can gft one
for $1,500,000.
"We need a bridge Jiadly and what's
