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. ' , ......

POLICE LEVY
IS CUT OOWII
Ways and Means Committee
Refuses Some of the
Chiefs' Requests
When the ways and means committee
of the city council met last night to
go over the budget the members be
came; involved in a discussion over the
police levy. 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.
