Mu'nly. president of the United East Side Push clubs and of the North East Side Improvement club, was the speaker at the meeting of tho Steel Bridge Push club last night Judge Munlv wan of the ODlnlon that the rail road people would In the end be forced to realize the fact mat tne people or a city have a right to say where the bridge should be placed and that they will eventually put the new bridge Where the old one now stands. . "The, United States Engineers will not let the harbor be damaged even by he O. R ft N. company,' deoJared Judge Munlny. "It H now a matter of history that had the steel bridae been 20ft feet nearer, the -Madison bridge, the steamer which 'so effectually put the Burnslda bridge out of commission, would have also bumped against the steel and with equally damaging results. Holladay venue Is the only logical place for the bridge, and I confidently expect to see the new bridge built there." A .committee was appointed to solicit funds for carrying on, the campaign against the proposed change, while still another committee was appointed to wait on Manager O'Brien and find what his attitude in the matter Is to be. A largi number, of prominent east -aide business . men Were present. Pleads-Guilty to Trespass. James H. Crockett, arrested j'ester day by Officer Graves on a warrant by W. B. Anderson, charging him with tresspass, pleaded guilty before Judge Van Zante this morning in police court. The case was continued for sentence. Crockett Is accused of having ' at tempted to "get 'Into a bakery wagon belonging to Anderson. ' S ' r CABINET Concrete Bridge Controversy .Causes Bitter Quarrel Be tweeh City Executive and Judge Smith Lane Ac- cused ' of "Side Stepping." Mayor Lane's office was this morn Ing the scene of a fierce battle of words, in which the mayor and four members of the bridge committee of the city executive ooard were participants. In the midst 'Of the conflict a duel that made the rest of the engagement pale to diminutive proportions and forced all but the two participants Into a com plete silence, took place between the mayor and Judffe Seneca Smith. tioth the mayor and the tudae nuriea accusations and repmachea nt each oth er and the veins on the foreheads of each stood out, like whipcords. The mayor accused tha iudae of try' Ingr to accent defective work on the East Twenty-elahth. street reenforctid concrete bridge which haa on more oc casions than one -almost disrupted Dr. Lane's staff of advisers. Calls Zt "Sidestepping." Judae Smith replied by charging that Mayor Lane was pursuing a "sldestep Dlnsr" course. "You entered Into a bad contract with tho Northwest Bridge company," declared the Judge, "and npw ou want to doage u.. xou may nave een 'done' bv the company and now you would escape the consequences." wen. l naven i oeen aone yei, ueai- edly interrupted the mayor. "This bridge Isn't paid for. I was assured by the contractors that the contract signed hv them would aive to the cltv a Rood strong and safe bridge and the city It Kolnar to nave sucn a oriaxe. Deiore i accent the work." "What are we here for? are we a lot of children or are we business men?' interrupted Judge Smith. "I for one am tired coming here week after wek and getting no nearer a solution of the muddle. 1 don't propose to neglect my business apy further. I want settle ment made or at least something de cided on by this committee. Arbitrate or Keject. "There are Just two things to do. We must arbitrate with the contractors or wa must reject their bridge and let them seek recourse, If they have any. In the court!. Now I'm in favor of either method out of the difficulty. 'If you want to arbitrate you should select an engineer and leave the set tlement of the question to him. If he decides that the bridge can be built with certain, modifications to comply with the contract, then It Is up to us to accept his ultimatum or 'stand pat.' as Mayor Dane Intimates he will do, rather than leave the question to an engineer - unless It. is stipulated that the engineer shall not permit the bridge to be repaired without, being as sured that It "18 safe. . , "I say, that we cannot compel the company to make a safe bridge if the contract does not coll for one. If the contract Is . fulfilled we will have to pay ' for the bridge whether It is safe or not. ' " - '""If" tha engineer says the bridge. If completed according to contract, would be a safe one, then we can still Insist on the company giving us Just what the contract calls for, even if they have to pull the present structure down and build anotner one. Mayor "Canal Stand. Mayor iane is wuung to accept a proposition to arbitrate, but he does not want to maae any modified agree ment with tha company which shall not require that the bridge be made "safe for traffic." Judge Bmlth contervla that the city has no right to make such a stipulation, lie holds that the company can only bs forced to fulfill ma written contract, notwithstanding insure ft that th fontrftrt would Jn .safety In the big concrete viaduct ii. ja. easterly ana jonn Montag share the- mayor's views, but J. A. Newell leans to the side of Judge Smith. One thing all the members of the bridge committee did agree upon, and that, la that .the committee cannot agree. ..... . j, v a motion was finally made and passed Judi trac to return it with the amendments he may wish, to add. The committee will then take a vote and tha majority re- ' Oompaay will Dsolds. S , -Tnls 'document will then be -put up to the. Northwest Bridge works, and If that company sees fit to accept It. an engineer will be appointed to superin tend the further work on the unaccept ed bridge. If the company will not ac cept the proposition, then the mayor and the committee will not muke further overtures. The courts will be the only appeal left. FIRE SCORCHED CEDAR SOLD BY GOVERNMENT "r Thirty-eight hundred cords of west ern. cedar were purchased yesterday by tha Fortaon Shingle company of Fort son.' Wash. Tha timber Is situated on an area of approximately 320 acres tn tna wasmngton national rorest reserve. Rv its arreement With thA forest ser vice, the company is to pay for the timoer at the rate or ii.ib a cord ana to cut and remove the hole amount by not later than March 1. mo. The use of unmerchantable timber for con- . iiioiiun whs rinany maae ana passed ectlng each member to take a copy of Ige Smith's proposition to the con ctlng firm, and at tha next meeting structlon purpose is granted free of charge and ss an added safeguard t" reduce tho flra danger all dead cedar trees and snags over ifS feet In, height, even If not merchantable, are to Ije felled. " .... This ares was originally covered with western red cedar, Douglas fir and west ern hemlock, btit about 7 years sgo a severe fire killed almost all of the live trees. Tho only merchantable tim ber remaining consists of red cedar, most of which severely burned, but la sound eno-jgh to ba worked up Into shingles. Ths cutting of these fire scarred snags and stubs will not only remove a atave fire danger but ' will make room for the dense stand of Doug Ins fir, hemlock and red cedar seed lings and saplings which have already established themselves In large groups and strlpa on the area. In this way. the condition of the forest will be greatly Improved and when the time comes, another crop of timber may be obtained from tha same area. ' , . .- -. ...
