Tumalo bridg
e
plans detailed
by engineer
By Bill Thompson
Bulletin Staff Writer
The proposed new Tumalo Ave
nue bridge, to be built by the
State Highway Department this
summer, is expected to be com
pleted by the latter part of Aug
ust, with construction beginning
shortly thereafter on the city-financed
Portland Avenue bridge.
These dates were brought out
at a special city commission
meeting Wednesday afternoon
featuring Oregon bridge engineer
Ivan Merchant. Only three com
missioners attended the meeting
fc. u Nielsen, Jack Dempsey
and C. J. Rice along with city
manager Walter Thompson and
city engineer John Eaton.
"Bids on the Tumalo bridge
will be opened April 11," Mer
chant said. "It'll probably take at
least a month to order the mater
ials and get on the job, and the
whole thing shouldn't take more
than four months probably be
finished around the last half of
August or sooner."
Pro-Cast Slabs
The 140 - foot - long Tumalo
bridge, to be financed entirely by
state funds, will consist of pre
cast concrete pilings and pre-cast
pre-stressed concrete slabs. The
new concrete span will be 36 feet
wide between curbs, with two
lane travel and five-foot-wide
sidewalks on each side. Alumi
num rails are planned.
Commissioner Nielsen, pushing
what he termed "aesthetic
values" of the bridge, asked Mer
chant if it wouldn't be possible
to have two cut-stone planters as
an entrance column on each side
of the bridge to blend in with
the natural beauty of uie sur
roundings. Merchant said he thought this
was possible, and said he would
Music dime,

students, will be held this week
end in Prineville. Rehearsals will
be held all day Friday and Satur

p.m. Saturday as the highlight
event. This will be in the Crook
County High School auditorium.
A massed band of some 250 in
strumentalists and a choir of 200
singers will be participating. A
special feature this year will be
the presentation of an all-star
dance band.
Students taking part will be
representing the high schools in
Bend. Prineville, Redmond. Mad
ras, Sisters. Culver, Maupin, John

State University music depart
ment will direct the choir.
Concert tickets will be avail
able at the door a 'id from school
music students. The admission
charge will be a dollar for adults
and 50 cents for students. Pro
ceeds are used to finance the an
nual clinic.
Mel Lambert, who is in charge
of the Crook County High School
music department, is the host
chairman.

Not Determined
Maintenance would be handled
by the city park department, but
who is to bear Uie cost of the con
struction city or state wasn't
determined.
Nielsen also pushed (lie cut-
stone planter entrance columns
for the Portland Avenue bridge,
a $90,000 structure approved by
Bend voters in a bond election
last fall.
Merchant said he was certain
that a state-designed reinforced
concrete slab span bridge could
be built under the $90,000 figure,
but he wasn't too sure about city
engineer John Eaton's "stone
arch" plan for the Portland Ave
nue bridge site.
Eaton's design utilizing five
multiplale arches slightly more
than 20 feet wide and using cul
verts to carry the excess flow.
was explained to commissioners
last February.
Almost 'Bypassed'
But it was almost "bypassed"
in yesterday afternoon's session.
When it finally was discussed, it
received considerable criticism
from commissioner Rice, mana
ger Thompson and Merchant
Thompson, who said he doubt
ed if there would be any savings
in Eaton's plan, said you would
bo merely "appeasing six or
eight people by deviating from
Ivan's plan."
Rice said he hadn't heard any
one criticise the pictures of the
state design. He also questioned
the increased velocity of the riv
er on the downstream side of the
bridge with Eaton's plan.
"We don't want any of our chil
dren in danger of drowning by
Pioneer Park," he said. I
Eaton aawered by noting that
most of this velocity increase
would dissipate a few feet from
the bridge, with the dam below
also slowing down velocity.
Uniqueness Noted
Eaton, who never has claimed
that the "stone arch" desien
would cost less money, again
stressed its uniqueness.
"It would give the appearance
of one of the old European stone
arch bridges." Eaton explained,
"and would blend in with the rus
tic surroundings."
He said his studies showed that
five multiplate arches could be
set up for around $40,000. with
the remaining $50,000 left for
fill, backfill, cutoff walls, rock
facing, paving and sidewalks.
Frankly, the idea never occur
red to me to put the Deschutes
River in culverts," Merchant
said. "We don't design that kind
of structure, and I don't think it's
the kind you would want to use."
Suggestion Accepted
The commission, on a sugges
tion by Nielsen, finally asked Ea
ton to have, a scale model and
plans for the multiplate arch de
sign by mid-April. Commissioners
will then make a final review of
the two plans, and are to notify
the state of their decision by May
Roy Edgerton, a Highway De
partment engineer who attended
the meeting with Merchant, said
he thought the length of the Port
land bridge (state's design) could
safely be reduced to around 185
to 190 feet
Original proposal was for a 280
feet span, with this figure being
reduced to 222 feet prior to last
fall's bond election vote.

said the city could save $2,000 in
clearing costs. Cinders would be

Rusk, Gmyko
fail to break
Berlin deadlock
GENEVA (UP!)- Secretary of
State Dean Rusk and Soviet For
eign Minister Andrei Gromyko
failed again at a two-hour con
ference today to break the Berlin
deadlock. Gromyko said, however.
Uie talks would continue.
The inconclusive session. Uie
latest in a long series, followed
announcement earlier in Uie day
by the nuclear Big Three that
they had reached a stalemate on
test ban treaty terms.
They planned to report this Fri
day to the General Disarmament
Conference. The Russians and
Americans blamed each other.
With time running out before
the Big Three ministers leave for
home and turn matters over to
their deputies, the East-West stale
mate on critical cold war Issues
was tighter than ever. The U.S.
delegation had virtually aban
doned hope for progress on Ber
lin or a test ban at this time.
Gromyko told newsmen after his
meeting with Rusk in the latter's
lakeside hotel suite Uiat Russia
stood pat on Its demands for a
peace treaty with Communist East
Germany which would liquidate
Allied rignts in West Berlin.
When asked whether he had
presented any new Russian plan
on Berlin, Gromyko replied: "Our
proposals are well known.
Just before the Berlin meeting
the Soviet Union and the Western
Big Two declared they were total
ly unable to resolve the nuclear
test ban stalemate and would re
port this to the 17-nation Disar
mament Conference.
'There was no advance of any
kind and no change of position,"
