(Story also on page 1) Fear that the Marion-Polk county bridge situation may be come as bad as that prior to con struction of the present span in 1917 dominated remarks here at ay night's meeting here to rganize a Greater Oregon Bridge association. Max CehJar. owner of Oregon Fruit Products Co. in West Salem, said at that time the bridge had deteriorated to the point where no means of com munication existed between the cities. Almost, as bad, he said, was the feud that developed over building a new bridge, rather than using ferries. The arguments among various parties held up work for several months. He aecalled that at Center street one bridge had been washed away by the 1890 flood, its replacement became un usable, necessitating the present span, built during a period of wartime material scarcities. Tle-la to tt-W Lynn Gubser of McMinnviile. representing thor Yamhill county court, urged a good bridge as a prime necessity to another much desired program, tying up Salem with highway raw by the "ne glected road to Dayton. That route he declared, is the same as he traveled by horse and waxon in 1892. Such development would open up the productive west side of the river, benefiting both it and the Salem vicinity, he reminded. Statistics as to bridge use came from C. A. McClure, engineer for the Salem long f range planning commission: Clyde Everett, mana ger of Oregon Flax Textiles, and AI Lamb, assistant manager of Blue Lake Products cooperative. McClure said cross-bridge traffic had increased 22 per cent since last February and that destruction of the span would necessitate rout ing traffic 10 miles south or 12 miles north to cross via the "not always running Independence and Wheatland femes. Everett said that 63 of his firm's 72 em ployes make their homes in Salem and travel back and forth daily. Lamb estimated a large majority of the cannery's 1,000 employes in peak seasons live in Salem and asserted the loos in raw food ma teriala If the bridge went out would go into millions of dollars.

Anti-Tax Suit Arguments Due In Court Today The state supreme' court this morning will hear arguments of attorneys In the suit of the Ore gon State Federation of Labor at tacking constitutionality of two laws of the 1947 legislature re ducing state income tax exemp tions and imposing a 1 per cent state withholding tax. Briefs were filed in the supreme court early Tuesday. Circuit Judge George R. Dun can, Marion county, recently held the two laws constitutional. Appelant's brief charges that the two laws under attack are in valid because their operation was contingent upon defeat of the sales tax bill at the October special election In violation of the state constitution. Respondent's brief contends that the two laws were approved by the 1947 legislature and filed with the secretary of state the same as many other en actments and were not involved In contingent legislation. Both aides said they hoped for a decision of the supreme court by January 1, when the withhold ing tax law becomes operative. "S3' Salem's Famous II CHINESE Food and Dinner CAFE I 1 Mile Se.
