SOUTH PORTLAND BRIDGE BONDV
'PLAN TO BE VOTED ON IN JUNE
$1,400,000 Estimated Cost of
Project to Serve 60,000
People in District.
One of the Important subjects upon
which the people will vote at the. June
election la the proposal to construct
new bridge in South Portland. Ton
people are asked to approve a bond
ssue of not to exceed 81,400,000. from
which , all expenses, including termin
als, condemnation and purchase of
property and other rights shall be paid.
As outlined in the proposed amend
ment, the bridge would be constructed
across the Willamette river from Wood
ward avenue, at or near its intersection
with Grand avenue, and follow a line
to the intersection of the west line of
Corbett street with Meade street, on
the west side of the river: thence west
along Meade street to its intersection
with Water street. The location of the
ridge would be as nearly as practical
as. it is here described, the description
being based upon maps and profiles
filed by the city "-engineer with the au
ditor.
To Sxcluslve franchise,
It Is stipulated in the proposed
amendment that all railway tracks upoi
the bridge shall remain the property of
the city, ' that no exclusive franchise
tor the. "use of the bridge shall - be
granted ,to person or corporation, and
that in return for franchises the city
council, ahall. demand adequate corapen-
aauon. no minimum sum Is fixed upon
as a charge for use of, the bridge.
In Us argument In favor of the
bridge the Greater South Portland
bridge committee of which Dr. Dav W.
Raffety is chairman, and Burt C Jones
secretary, says in Dart:
"Twelve years ;o. he city of Port-
tana had 80,000 , people and possessed
four bridges for traffic- and transport
tatlon across the -river. 'The nonulatlon
has Increased three fold and the cen
sus shows that more than one half of
tne people reside on the east aide. The
major proportion, are engaged In busi
ness, make and jDbteta their living on
the. west .aide, j&cceselty compels this
great concourse of people to travel to
and fro the bridge twice a day. The
topography of the city Indicates the ab
solute necessity of the utilization of
both sides of the river to handle the
enormous volume of business transact
ed that Is the inevitable result of the
ever Increasing population. ,.
V " 'jronld mellere Congestion.
"The construction of this bridge will
relieve the congested condition of traf
fic on the existing bridges, as It will
enable the residents of the Seventh
ward on the east side to reach the
center of the business district without
crowding in with the traffic of the
Eighth, Ninth and Tenth wards. Like
wise, it will render possible traffic
from the Fifth and. Sixth wards on the
west side to reach east side points,
avoiding the congestion of the exist
ing bridges. .Besides, it will afford a
highway and crossing for all suburban
traffle aouth of Mt Tabor and north
of Oregon City, to enter the ?ity with
dispatch and convenience. And aocord-
ing w conservative estimates -the pro
posed bridge will serve 80,000 people
who reside within Its immediate terri
tory. . .
"The harbor running through the
heart of the city must not be further
obstructed, and it ia an admitted fact
that It will never be, feasible to place
bridges between thoad now operated and
contemplated. The harbor must be
maintained at any expense. It there
fore becomes necessary that the . river
be spanned where It will, not interfere
with navigation. ; The proposed South
Portland bridge will be above the har
bor, the height will make it possible
for any river .steamer now in use on
the Willamette river to pass beneath
the bridge until the water is 28 feet
above its low mark, without disturb
ing the movable span, lience travel
will be facilitated In a marked degree.
Tire rroteotlon.
"Protection to property on both sld'is
of the river Is a strong argument An
favor of the project It will enable the
fire department to , concentrate their
fire apparatus at points In the Fifth
Sixth and Seventh wards and thus be
In a position to reach a conflagration
without the delay encountered by the
opening of bridges."
Those who oppose the bridge do so
principally on financial grounds, with
the double argument that the expend!
ture of too much money is authorised
and that the city ehould not now be
called upon in such large amount for a
new bridge.
In this connection It Is observed that
if all the bond Issues presented this
year carry, the city will be within 82,.
000.000 of Its debt limitations, and that
the bridge la much the largest of any
of the pending proposals, the next larg
est being the 800,000 proposed for a
public auditorium.
, Objections Are Mads.
Some of those Who advocate the sub
way idea and others who look to a bond
Issue for tunneling the- South Portland
hills,' demur to any further millions for
bridge building with the city debt limit
so nearly attained. It is argued that
with the completion of the Hawthorne
bridge streetcar traffic to the south
east Is well taken care of and that the
commercial use of a structure so far
south is not of sufficient magnitude to
Justify the bond issue at this time.
It is urged that- one engineering es
timate of the cost of the South 'Port
land bridge was 81.000.000 and the coun
cil seriously considered cutting the pro
posed bond issue to that figure. Taking
the position that it is unwise to au
thorise the expenditure of .large sums
in , excess of the actual need, because
the full amount authorised Is usually
spent, this is used as an additional ar
gument against the bond issue as It.
