This was to be expected. There never was a viaduct con structed that did not bring protests from adjacent property owners. As a matter of fact, there never was a public im provement of any kind proposed that was not fought by ... t rts.tnA r,A VidnofitteH in ihe Inner run. At the same time the desires of a few should not be allowed toj interfere with the welfare of the community as a whole. j An overhead crossing for public safety is nowhere needed j more than at the Fairgrounds. As the state and community grows, its need will become more apparent, for traffic over the hiirhwavs and on the railroad is constantly increasing. In a few years there will be from 5,000 to 10,000 motor vehicles daily over the highways and double the number of trains to block traffic and endanger life. if u,;u annn rw imnnsKible to handle with public safety the lair week crowds without a viaduct. With daily attendance reaching as high as 35,000 as at present, and in a few years exceeding 50,000, a viaduct becomes imperative, for extended blockades are a daily feature with the present dangerous and: obsolete grade crossings. And if Salem does not solve this problem, it will eventually lose the fair. It is only a question of time until a viaduct will have to be constructed, and the longer it is delayed, the more the cost, for temporary improvements will be made with the sole idea of securing damages. Property in the vicinity is not desirable residence property and chiefly valuable for term inal, warehouses or factory sites, and a viaduct will not affect its value for these purposes. Besides, the viaduct estimates include reimbursement of property owners for damages actually sustained. For some six or seven years the Pacific highway has been paved north of the railroad track. Since then the property owners along the road south of the railroad have shown their ,v.i; Qirit unA fnt.prnrise bv refusing to pave, claiming that the cos of paving amounted to more than the value of the adjacent property. Only a couple of months ago, a peti tion was circulated among business men for contributions to pay for the paving to benefit the property. Yet this property has suddenly become too valuable to permit the erection of a badly needed viaduct that will insure safety to the traveling public and handle fair week crowds. It is the attitude of these property owners that has kept the main gateway to Salem a public disgrace. The proposed alternative, grade crossings, gates and watchmen, does not insure safety, but assures rrainc diock- aides. Moreover it is expensive to maintain, n win cause inconvenience and dissatisfaction that sooner or later win force the building of a viaduct. The viaduct, including property damages and rights-of-way, is estimated to cost $100,000 of which the railroad will pay $40,000, the balance being divided between the state, county and city, paving the present road aione win cosi the city as much and be only a maKesniu. h is to uc ..vu that the public service commission, in the interest of public safety and for the future welfare of the community, orders the erection of the viaduct as a public necessity. An alternative is to keep the highway east of the railroad l. if thrnno-h the fairsrrounds to Seventeenth I I HJ H . I UII11II1K IV v - t- . wt nn the east side.
