Dyer made only one stipula tion of importance and that is that the planking is not to be done until the contract for a new waeon bridge is signed. This action was taken in order that the railroad company may be assured that their bridge will not be" used indefinitely for seneral traf fic. The members of the bridee com mittee of the Salem Commercial elub, who completed the negotiations in Portland were: Charles A. Parks, F G. Beckebach and Fred A Stoncinff ! The agreement stipulates that the1 i""mu uriuge may oe used tor a period of eighteen months, the pre sumption being that by that time the new highway bridge will have been completed. The Marion and Polk county courts met again yester day to consider plans. Because of the legal inability of the county to levy tolls the bridge, as far as highway traffic is concern ed, will be leased to a company to be formed for the purpose. Light tolls, to provide for maintenance, will be levied on vehicles crossing the bridge. Another provision is that the com pany be absolved from liability for accidents. For the protection of the company operating the toll system some liability insurance company will underwrite the risks. This decision will obviate the ne cessity for a ferry.
