fJSiDE BRIDGE
PROJECT IS
INAUGURATED
Preliminary steps were taken' by
the county commissioners today; to
ward ' submitting to the voters of
Multnomah county ; a i proposal! to
authorize bonds for a new Burhside
bridge. The plan is to 'submit the
proposal at the next general election.
. The commissioner conferred with C
B. McCuliough, engineer of the bridge
. department of the state highway jcorarois
' aion, and requested him to make ah apJ
proximate ' estimate of the cost ' of re
placement of the Burnslde bridge,! this
to "oe used as a basis for formulating the
s proposal of the county bond isaae; j The
commission also requested District At
torney Evans to submit to H drafts of
; the necessary resolutions for, the pro-;
posed bond issue election, , . :
The commissioners alse'discussed with
- McCuliough the preparation of plans for
the 'reconstruction or reinforcement of

simply a temporary measure, however,
and does not conflict with tentative
plans for new construction at a later
date that would eliminate grade cross
ings and fit in with the general water
front development plans which have been
.discussed. -i ' j

ducted Thursday by Inspectors Tacka-.
berry and Phillips' to locate the two
girls who are alleged- to haver ridden
with Dubinsky, and, the . nan in the

futile. The two young women are said
to have taken a ride on Friday with
Dubinsky f: and ' the - gray-clad man. 1 A
friend of ; the missing man told the poV
lice ; that he was , talking to' Dubinsky
Saturday night ; when . the "man in

informer recalled a portion of the num
ber ; which Dubinsky iwrqte .on. a slip

from this meager evidence that the po

The "man in gray" has been the most
hunted individual in Portland ever since

formally on September 30.
Dr. Waldo made It plain to his mem
bers Thursday evening that he leaves
the church : with the most cordial feel
ing and that there is no spirit of malice
connected ; with his resignation. . I
thought it much better, however, to make
a plain statement of fact as to the rea
son, rather than to try to dodge the.
issue." he said. ,

Harmony ' prevailed. In striking con
trast to the arguments that were waged
Thursday afternoon, when consideration
of constitutional amendments - was re
opened, and 17 of these were disposed
of. either accepted or rejected, within an
hour. Orville t Thorpe, international
trustee, of Dallas. Texas, took charge
and explained the purpose of each
amendment. .
DELEGATES TO FAT FEE .
Hereafter, it was decided, delegates to
international conventions will pay a reg
istration fee, amount to be fixed by the
trustees, as it has been found that the
expense of entertaining the international
meetings is too great to be borne by the
host club alone. The Portland club Is
standing $15 expense per visitor, a total
of $15,000.; it was explained, and the
Birmingham convention cost $1? a man.
""A'new office was created, that of in
ternational immediate past president, the
retiring executive to hold this position
for a year. The action was taken be
cause the need of counsel from the man
who has just headed the organization ln
future movements is felt in the organi
zation. ; Henry J. Elliott ""will be the
first man in this position..
AMEXDMEKT IS DISCUSSED ?
Some discussion developed when the
first proposed amendment came .up
again for consideration.. This provides
for issuance of charters, at discretion
of the trustees, to organizations of less
than SO members. . i - . .
i "Why ; put in postage stamp clubs In
every town on the map when there are
hundreds of big cities which can. fully
meet the standards of Kiwanis begging
tor admission." demanded EL - F Arras,
governor, of Columbus. Ohloand his sen
timent was roundly approved by a ma
jority Of the delegates. -"This is not an
organization of peanut vendors, but of
business men."
But Colonel Al Fairbrother of Greens
boro, & C, dissented, holding that small
towns being good enough to nave men
in the army, were good enough to have
men in an organization with the stand
ards of Kiwanis. v. '
"Until we get strong enough to sup
port the weak clubs. e should leave
them out." said Dr. J. Berg Esenweln,
of Springfield, Mass. "Most small towns
cannot come up to Kiwanis standards.
We have not had as yet any mortality in
the Kiwanis movement. The club Is not
ready for mortality because it has too
much constructive wor to do."
AME3TD.ME1TT IS REJECTED
When President Elliott called for a
Vote, the amendment was rejected with
a roar. The convention afterwards de
cided upon - a per capita tax of $2 to
support the international.
. Numerous resolutions were then put
before the convention by Arras' and
adopted. Most -of these had to do with
