"The committee was well received

"and the subscribers to the fund are
representative of a large district I
believe tt would, have been possible
to have gone to a few of the wealthier
Portland merchants and have raised the

Idea was to make the contributions di
versified. We were enabled to feel the
general public pulse on the question
of the vbridge, and it was gratifying to
note that business men and others In
all sections are heartily in favor of it.
"The work of our committee Is fin

make the surveys and then later, when
detailed plans and, specifications have
been submitted, there will probably he
more work to . do for the success of
