Dr. Lm. M. Davis spoke at length before the committee. lie was "vailed by judge Munly in the midst of a speech when the Judg-e declared thst Davis was making misstatements and telllnr untruths. Several other clashes occurred. The council chambers were crowded with taxpayers from the various 'east aids districts and each different locality had a representative to speak for it. Thft greatest number nf people represented urged the Modjeskl location. OXCE PR03IINEXT C. ,F. Swigx?rt of, the Port of. Port land ' presented a compromise bridge ntan vesterdav to the TC&st 8id fao iiona that ' have been struggling, the one to - secure - the east side approacn of the new bridge at Hancock street, and the other at Broadway.' gwigort'a proposition is to abandon the present steel bridge and share the coot with the railroad company of building a double bancule structure fur ther up the river. The two approaches on the west side would begin at Third and Glisan and at Second and Flanders streets. These . two - driveways would converge at Secondhand Glisan. The .east side landing would be and Second and Oregon streets and the approach would extend to Holladay avenue. The bridge would be a double affair on the same set of niera, that part tiaed by the' company being absolutely separata from the other and below it. A bttMCule draw for- each bridge would swing Independent of the ; other. The city's part, would be feet above ' the water, being about two feet lower than that suggested by Engineer Modjeskl'. The approaches to this bridge would be n a. six per cent grade as against' four per cent on- Modjeski's plan. But the bridge planned by . Mr.' Swigert would only be 1700 feet." long, compared to i 2150 feet' Tor' 'the' Chicago engineer's. The advantages claimed for the dual structure are that it would be 40 per cent cheaper than the others .proposed, and that an' Unbroken' water front . on both sides of the river below the bridge -would be presented. ' Judge ' JM. - G. . Murtly 'who ' has been leading the. fight for , the Modleski bascule brfdge with a lending at Broad way gives .' little consideration to the !ew ; ilan. City Attorney . Kavanaugh says there may "be a legal "objection to the compromise bridge.- The charter, may not permit the city to enter into . a partnership transaction with the rail road. ' , ......

Councilman Rushlight wanted this raised to 1.8 mills so that a new Jail might be built next year. He said that $150,000 could easily be raised this way and mat tne cuy couin build a suitable structure for th.it amount. "This council." declared Mr. Rush light, "will put up a fight for a poor broken down old horse, but when it comes to human beings they ar rot good Samaritans. A Jail Is a crying need, we ought to have one next year. The one we have now Is a disgrace." Counollmen Cottel and Vaughn thought a new jail was a necessity, out were not in favor of building it out nf the tax levy. They thought bonds should 'be issued for the purpose. Mr. Vaughn says he thinks the Jail should beput in on top of the city hall. The committee cut down the addi tional policemen asked for by Chief Oritamacher from 50 to 25 and voted for a levy of 1.8 mills. This will give the department $255,000. The chief asked for 1282,000. The street repair fund was cut from $317,000 to 313,000, a levy of 1.6 mills being made to meet the appropriation. For the fire department a levy of 2 H mills and for city lighting a 6-10 mill levy were recommended. Few changes will be made in the water rates. A meter rate of 714 cents per 100 cubic feet with a discount ac cording to ths volume of water con sumed was recommended by the com mittee. The new rules and regula tions submitted by the water board wera not adopted, wherever these dif fered from those now already In force. Mrs. Lysons Secures Divorce. (United Preni Leased Wire.)
