i. :. Jk Or a W - - O LJ j AJ- i,-. BRIDGES 2 IE'-: TO BE GREAT AID TO CITY TRAFFIC Burnside and Ross Island Spans '.'Will" Cost-Total of $4,600, COO, t Voted by People. Dm of tb big outstanding feature for traffic congestion relief taken dur jng 1821 and which also will have tut bearing of th general development of the city, was the action of the people of Portland at the last general ' elec tion in voting by a tars majority to ' authorise issuance of . $4.00,000 In bond for construction of th . Rose Is land bridge and, for a new Bumalde bride; across the Willamette river. The Rons Island brldg bonds are authorized m ;th sum of $1,600,000. Those authorized for the new Burn- side bride are for 13,000.000. White the construction of these two bridges will inevitably have .the re sult of-Increa1nC property values on the streets leading; to them, and this doubtless will be especially noticeable tn. the case of the Ross Island bridge. the campaign was made on the larger aspect that both bridges are absolute- . ly needed for the aid of general traf fic conditions, and It was on this basts that-the remarkably lares Indorsement of the bridge measures was given by the voters. FBOYIDZ FOB KAVF The , present Burnside bridge has 4 served th people .-of Portland for 28 years, out for the past two years It has been In bad condition and has . been entirely inadequate for the traf fic imposed upon it. The new struc ture, as estimated for the bond Issue, would be of the bascule type, its fun length being about 2500 feet.; It would have a 90-foot roadway, and the ap proaches are to . be on a 4 per cent grade. : On the west side of th river the approach will start from a point about midway between Second and Third streets on Burnside street, and on the east sld of the river th approach . win extend to a poitn between East Second and - East Third streets. The plans provide; for a ramp from East :v Couch street Th bridge' will have a height or clearance of 45 feet above high-water mark. TO WIDEST STREET -v Directly connected with - the con - . et ruction of the Burnside bridge Is .the . project for the widening of East Burn side and East Conch streets to 90 feet, th widening of Sandy boulevard and Its extension to East 12th and Burn - sid streets, so as to turn a great artery of travel directly to the new 7 ridge. Property-owners on the west i. - of th river have in con tern di a tlon th widening of Burnside street ' there so that it may be In- keeping ' Trtth the new bridge. . Th sit of th Rosa Island bridge will be about midway between the Hawthorne bridge and Selrwood. -- will iserve a large area of the sooth- east residential section, as well- as . large portion of Multnomah county outside the city and extensive sections "- or Clackamas county. . The eet approach of the Ross Island bridge will start at Or and avenue and : Beacon afreet, and the west approach will b on a new 80-foot street to ex tend to Kelly nnd Grover or Front . end Artfur streets. WILL. BE HIGH The estimates for the Ross Island ' -bridge cn which th bond tssu i based call for a structure with a clear vance of lis - feet above high-water 'mark, so that river steamers can t 'underneath it. The bridge approaches .win hav not to exceed a 4 per cent grade. ' .' : The plan for access to the new bridge contemplate the widening of :eacon street and Its- opening; from Rast lth street and' Powell Valley .road to Grand avenue. SPAS" TO BE L050 The Ross Island bridge is planned for a0 roadway 36 feet in width, so . that it can carry four lines of trai fie and there will be sidewalks on aach side. This will be in reality the i -pld-transit bridge, for no streetcar lines are contemplated for it and ve hicular traffic can move without ob structions, there beinr no streetcar tracks or railroad crossings at or near .Its approaches. Th total length of ;- the structure will be about 2600 feet. Port and Dock Organization Pert Commltiloser F. M. Warren, president. George H. Kelly, vice president J. D. Kenworthy, secretary.

Rarely was an American flag; seen. -Occasionally an American schooner would clear , for : i Australia - of Cape Town with lumber. That waa the ex tent of American maritime enterprise.
