SALEM. Ore., Jon. 7. The I.onc
county court and the Southern Pa
cltic company will not have to share
in the expense of reconstructing the
new overhead crossing near Divide,
Ore., according to on order of the
public service commission today, but
tho state highway commission will be
required to pay all of the additional
amount.
The originnl cost of the crossing
was $2.'!,41W.S7 of which the South
ern Pacific company was required to
pay 40 per cent, Lane county HO pel
cent nnd tho state !10 per cent. The
cost of the ' reconstruction, necessi
tated by a scltlnig of the structure,
wns $."104. 74. The highway commis
sion petitioned the service commis
sion to odd this amount to the origi
nal cost and apportion the whole sum
on the forty-thirty-lhirty basis. The
Southern Pacific comhatted this,
claiming the settling was 'due to neg
ligence in construction, nnd the Com
mission says ill its rdcr:
''There is no testimony before the
commission as to whether or not it
would hove cost a greater amount
of money than the original expendi
ture of .2.1,4it.t.S. to have construct
ed Nurd crossing originally in such a
mnuiicr as to hove prevented the set
tling of said structure, and thus avoid
ed the additional expenditure of
$.1101.71."
J.mlgc C. P. Barnard stated today
that the niLtter of the overhead cross
ing enme up in 1020 and that in 11)21
after he had taken office that the
county court objected to parts of the
bill. The matter has been pcnd.ng
since then. "The decision of the com
mission is ju.-t what was asked hy the
county conrt at that time," the judge
stated today when informed of tlief
action taken by the state body.
