It was hoped that it could be constructed for something like a ' million dollars and ths sudden procla mation of ths city engineer that he could do this did not create any vast astonishment. Mr. Modjeskl never con templated the expenditure of 2, 000, 000 either. Hia estimate tentatively fixing the cost at $1,380,000 was a rough ono and was purposely made on a liberal scale. . ". Wasted Saongli Moasy. ."The Idea of the promoters 'of the high bridge In advocating a t,000.000 hnnd issue was to d re vent a repetition of the trouble that ensued when th Burnalde bridge was built. They wanted to be sure to have enough money for . all possible contingencies. Tne nurn aide bridge was almost completed when the contractors were estopped from building the west approach. ' A law suit followed and the case went to the su preme court, 'the result being that the eity was forced to pay aamages auiouni-lna- to 1S0.OOO for orooerty taken' by tt. "Another statement in a local paper credited to Mr. Morris is tnat ne can aave 180,000 by diverting the approach on the west side from block "I" to Seventh street As, everybody knows who has read the Modjeskl' report and who has heard the engineer's explanation of it, the item referred to was for dam ages that would have to be paid to property owners on Seventh street by. reason of the fact that the approach would blockade the entrances to their places of business. Mr. Modjeskt al-f ways contemplated the use of Seventh street for the approach but as an alter nate plan he suggested that it would be nice if the city could afford ; to build over block T. .;,.-.. -: - "After discussions at length on the ' subject It was estimated that the block would cost the city $260,000, so the alternative never met with much favor. But Mr. Modjeski's figures of $80,000 damages for property owners on Bev- enth street were conservative and the city will not be able to get off by pay ing 'any less.

"You can build a lift to an indefinite height., : That, is," he explained, .

"In a statement attributed to me the otlier day I was made to appear as favoring delay In the construction of the bridge, . I did not want to give that imprtesBlon for I do not want de lay.' What I meant when I said 'the bridge Is not built yet,' was that it would not be built on the Modjeskl plan and it won't either. "Those people over la - Irvlngton imagine that the charter compels - us to spend $2,000,000 on tha bridge but we don t have to; It's - up to us to build it for five cents If we can un der the charter amendment and this doesn't say a word about Modjeskl, or a bascule. . , . - Above la a Hat of dead and injured. thi result of a collision between a wagon loaded with a picnic .party, and a Kussell-Shaver streetcar at Commer cial and Falling streets at s:S0 o'clock last night.

In this way the power will not be taken from tha people permanently and it will at the same time permit of the development of the resources of the country.
