The Dalles Columbia Bridge
To Cost $2661000
, Portland, June 28 (ff) The Oregon highway commission con
sidered today the Wasco county proposal -to build a toll bridge
across the Columbia river at The Dalles.
Col. Ralph Tudor, engineer hired by Wasco county to make
preliminary surveys for the bridge, told the commission yester
day it would cost $2,661,000 to
construct it.
Wasco county is hoping to get
help of the two states in build
ing the structure.
Tudor said a Chicago firm is
willing to advance $400,000 for
preliminary engineering and
legal expenses. The present fer
ry at The Dalles would be held
as collateral. Tudor said the
ferry business was valued at
$300,000.
He added that the firm would
advance the rest of the money
for construction if proper fi
nance arrangements could be
made. 1
Tudor estimated the tolls
would be $252,000 annually at
the bridge until 1952, when they
would become $300,000.
The bridge would connect
Washington's Evergreen high
way with the Old Oregon Trail

are boosting unemployment in
the process.
The reserve board's report
yesterday said output in May
remained 74 per cent above the
average for prewar 1935-39. But
it was nearly three per cent un
der April and more than nine
per cent below May, 1948.
Meanwhile, there was no
agreement over Just how serious
the nation's economic situation
is. Secretary of Commerce
Charles Sawyer and a man who
once held that cabinet post
Henry Wallace, disputed the
point in a radio debate last
night.
Sawyer insisted we are "still
in an area of prosperity such as
we have not enjoyed in our his
tory," despite declining business
and increasing joblessness.
Wallace, on the other hand.
said the country is in bad shape
economically, and President
Truman should be doing some
thing to 'restore prosperity."
Sawyer and Wallace clashed
over the accuracy of the unem
ployment figures of the census
bureau, a branch of the com
merce department. Sawyer as
sured Wallace the figures now
are "given out on the same basis
that was in effect when you
were secretary of commerce."
In Boston, National Republi
can Chairman Hugh D. Scott,
Jr., said the country is in the
"first stages of a Truman de
pression." He told newsmen the
GOP will capitalize on the un
employment situation in next
year's election campaign.
