GO UPON BALLOT
i '- :
Question of $6,000,000 Bond Is
sue I Raises Query of Practic
ability of Meeting Traffic De
mands at Increased Costs.
The voters of Multnomah county
will b called upon at the general
election In November to determine
whether or not they will authorize
the Instance of bond- not to ex
ceed 16.000.000 for the replacement
of the present obsolete Burnside
bridge across the Willamette river
with a modern structure. District
Attorney Evans has. been authorized
by the Multnomah county commit
loners ;to prepare the necessary res
olutlona providing for the placing of
this question before the voters. It
Is probable the resolution will be
formally adopted by the commission
era Monday morning:.
The estimated ' cost of $(,000,000 has
been made y C. B. McCullough, head
of the bridge engineering department of
the Oregon state highway commission,
after several weeks of Investigation by
a corps of engineers in Ms department
DKFIJUTE BASIS SOrjGHT
The work was undertaken at the re
quest of the Multnomah county com
missioners, who required a definite
basis for the estimate of cost of the
new structure before they could pro
ceed to- call an election on the ques
tion of ' a bond lsmie.
: The proposed new bridge would ex
tend from Third street, on the west
side of the Willamette river, to Union
avenue, on the east side, and would
eliminate grade crossings. It is pro
posed to construct a single trunnion
bascule bridge with a width of 90 feet
and with a 200-foot width for the chan
nel opening.
Engineer McCullough estimates that
the structure Itself would cost, under
present conditions, $4,470,000. The cost
of property required is placed at $876,
000. This Is based on double the as
sessed valuation of the real estate and
an addition of one-third to the estimat
ed value of the buildings on such
property.
EXT E A COSTS ADDED
The cost of removal of the present
structure is placed at $100,000. and an
item of $50,000 is made for incidentals.
Then 10 per cent of the total Is added
for contingencies.
in tne aiscussions before the com
missioners It was frankly stated by
tne engineers that construction of
bridge of the type proposed would cost
300 per cent more than under normal
conditions. The question1 for the voters
to decide is as to whether a S. 000. 000
expenditure should be authorised for
the bridge in the face of existing con
dltlona
Members of the county commission
suggested, when the McCullough esti
mates were placed before them, that a
Jess expensive type of structure.be con
sidered and the matter of a 'double
deck structurtt was p repotted Engineer
McCullough stated that this was Just
what the bridge engineers were trying
lo get away from, as the double-deck
flan would Include the grade-crossing
problems. He declared his belief that.
In order to secure a bridge across the
Willamette river that would adequately
provide for present traffic and pros
pective Increases thereon, no structure
could' be secured for much less than
$6,000,000.
8. Benson, chairman, of the state
highway commission, has expressed his
belief that the type of bridge proposed
Is the proper one to consider, and says
it would carry the trafflo of all five
river r bridges if necessary. City Engi
neer I-aurgaard thinks that the present
Burnstde bridge might be continued in
service for several years -if properly re
paired. Various traffic experts of Port
land have -refrained from giving their
opinions at this time on the proposed
$6,000,000 project but the outstanding
fact which the taxpayers must face is
that the proposed structure would cost
200 per cent more than in normal
times, and the question must be set
tled aa to whether such an outlay la
- warranted.
STATE LAW MANDATORY
"The state law of Oregon . makes it
mandatory upon the courity commis
sioners to maintain or repair bridges that
are In public use, and the way is also
provided for reconstruction," said County
Commissioner Holman Saturday, In dis
cussing the Burnaide bridge problem.
"The commissioners of Multnomah
ounty felt that they would really te
petting representatives of the people as
engineers If they secured the services of
the bridge engineers of the state highway
commission to pass upon the condition of
the present Burnside bridge and make
estimates of the cost of a new structure.
This arrangement was made, and the en
gineers of the state board have found
that the present bridge is obsolete and
that the cost for repairs would be so
heavy as to raise the question of prac
ticability. , "There Is no option for the county
commissioners but to repair the bridge or
to replace it. The board has decided that
the question as to replacement should go
before the people for their decision, and
If they decide in favor of the new struc
ture, for them to provide the funds
therefor.
KEW BRIDGE DEEDED
"Personally. I want men of wide ex
perience In bridge building to pass upon
the type of bridge that shall eventually
'be built, and I believe there should be
a thorough discussion as to the advisa
bility of securing such a structure as has
been proposed, or one of leaser cost.
"But, to my mind, there can be no
evading the fact that a new bridge to re
place the present Burnside structure is
imperatively required. This bridge was
built to accommodate the traffic of a city
but one-third the present population of
Portland : it was not even planned to
provide for street car trackase. and at
that time no one dreamed of -the use of
uumooiles, with their constant demand
ior adequate traffic channels. We must
, hate sufficient channels of trrrl If
Portland Is to.make proper progress. The
. question, as I view it. Is to determine what
i is uie most economical thing to do, con
j aldering all the facts, at the present time.
! I hope to see a full and free discussion

SERIOUS TRAFFIC
PROBLEMS FOUND
Chief of Police Jenkins Returns
From i International Meet of
! Traffic Officers.
"The traffic problem is a very
serious one in Portland," said Chief
of Police L. V. Jenkins, "but the
methods adopted here are far in ad
vance of many other large cities
where the difficulty is causing no
end of trouble."
Chief Jenkins has returned from the
third annual convention of the Interna
tional Traffic Officers' association in
San Francisco. He was accompanied by
Captain tk A. Lewis, head of the police
traffic bureau, and II. P. Coffin, state
agent of the National Public Safety
council. '
The convention was attended by rep
resentatives from most all of the large
cities of the United States and Canada,
and there were several representatives
from New Zealand and Australia. The
tra problems are virtually the same
litt4f sections, it was developed in the
convention, and It was decided to ap
point a committee to draft a universal
trafflo code for the entire country, Jen
kins declared.
"The different committees named to
study the various phases of the question
will mee in Cleveland, Ohio, December 2,
1920, when they will attempt to perfect
a uniform trafflo code which wilt be
presented to legislatures of every state
for enactment.
"When the traffic-code becomes -Universal,
law, it is hoped the greater part
of difficulties now receiving the atten
tion of every police department will be
overcome, and a lonR sought for relief
realised.! concluded the chief. In an In
terview Wednesday.
Chief Jenkins was honored by being
elected" sergeant-at-arms of the interna
tional organisation, and with Captain
Lewis was made a member of the gen
eral executive committee. He is chair
man of the auto theft division.

same importance as Sauvles Island."
