f Go-Ahead for Bridge Given With formal signing by mem bers of the Marion county court of the three-sided agreement between Marion and Polk coun ties and ihe state highway commission for erection of a bridge over the Willamette riv er at Independence, the go ahead signal is given to the state highway commission and the bridge as a reality awaits only action by that body. The agreement was received here from Polk county carry ing signatures of members of that court, and has been given an OK by Hedda Swart, Mar ion county engineer. Work is expected to start in 1948. Estimated cost of the bridge is $640,000 with the state pay ing a half and each county a quarter of the expense. In event the cost is more than the esti mate in the agreement the extra is prorated between the parties. Traffic where the bridge will go is now serviced by an inter county ferry operated at the joint expense of Polk and Mar ion counties at an approximate cost of S7o00 a year. One important step leading up to the establishment of the bridge will he improvement of the south river road between Salem and East Independence which it is expected will be ac '"eomplished with aid of federal funds. This is on the highway program but the Salem-Silver-ton road improvement is expect ed to be completed first next summer.
