Open Roads or Barriers - ?
Will your verdict be for open road», or, a fte r the
polls close next Tuesday evening, will your vote count for
the continuance of the present ferry at H arrisburg and
woinout bridge at Albany? You have it in your power to
provide for a safe, quick and convenient crossing of the
Willamette River at H arrisburg and an adequate solid
bridge a t Albany that will eliminate the danger to human
life that now exists. Your answer is im portant to the en­
tire county. Let us again state
Let us again state
THE ISSUE
A bond issue of $180,000, to run for 10 years, bear­
ing interest a t 5 per cent. Retirement to begin a fter four
years following date of issue and to be paid oft at the rate
of $30,000 a year for six years.
Of the amount asked. $67,846.30 is to be used as
Linn county’s share of building the bridge at H arrisburg,
the state and I nine county paying a like sum as their
portion. And $115,000 is to be used as Linn county’s
share of the bridge at Albany, to which amount the City
of Albany will provide about $35,000 more and the state
of Oregon the balance for a steel structure that will cost
$294,976.50. In all, Linn county will get two new bridges
that will cost $498,678.70 to built?. for a total payment of
$180.000 from the county a t large. The people of Albany
will pay their part of the genet al county’s amount, plus
$35,000 more towards the bridge at that place.
For the first five years the tax will amount to less
than one mill, or less than $1.00 on each thousand dollars
th at you are assessed. From the fifth to the tenth year
only about one-half of a mill, or 50 cents on each $1000
of assessed valuation will be required.
Linn and Lane counties are now operating a ferry
jointly at Harrisburg at a cost of $3,300 a year, in ad­
dition to the cost of new cables, re-decking, gas engines,
depreciation, etc. Upkeep o f ’the ferry will cease upon
completion of the bridge, for the state will maintain the
bridge a fte r it is once open. Likewise with the Albany
bridge. No more expense to the county will follow the
building of the bridge.
These are purely financial considerations. From a
business standpoint the county cannot aftord to turn
down the opportunity to get two splendid new crossing's
for less than what either one of the proposed bridges
would cost, and then in addition eliminate all expense
forever in connection with maintaining them, or the
present old ferry.
MORE THAN MONEY INVOLVED
But however desirable are the economical aspects of
the proposition, Linn county faces a higher duty in the
m atter. Of w hat use was it to the state to build the Pa­
cific Highway up this way, with the aid of the county,
when there is no connection between the shores of the
two counties. The highway commission confidently ex­
pected th at the bridge would be built, and Linn county
must not fail them. Every day the county receives un­
favorable mention on the ferry’s account. There is always
an element of danger with a ferry, especially in the win­
ter, and there at e tim es when the danger makes it im­
possible to operate a t all and then traffic is forced to take
the west side highway.
The old bridge at Albany is past its prime, obso­
lete and entirely unable to take care of the traffic that
would come its way. Built 32 years ago to carry a max-
imiir; cf five tons, it is now but 25 per cent efficient in
handling the traffic. The county court, acting upon ad­
vice of experts who have examined the old structure, has
placed a five-tun limit upon the weight that may cross.
And the oridge is actually unsafe for larger loads.
State engineers place the life of this bridge a t three more
years under -regulated tiaffic. I t will take three years be­
fore a new bridge can be opened if the bonds are voted
row . ( . B. Mcl ullough, in charge of bridge construction
for the state highway commission says: “ People who de-
libertly vote this bridge down are potential murderers.
The old bridge may last for years to come, and then it
might go down at any time. The people put off building a
rew bridge at Kelso and their old structure went down
with the loss of many lives a month before the new one
was completed. Several people weie drowned a t Selwood
last summer when a car tan off the ferry. At H arrisburg
a doctor was di owned a t the ferry crossing and a near
accident occured there last year. Linn County and the
whole state needs these bridges and there should be no
hesitation in voting for them now.”
NOT A SECTIONAL MATTER
Certain elements in the eastern part of the county
are apparently trying to force an issue with the county
court or with the western part of the county, playing
politics to gain some desired end. But w hatever the
motive, it is not necessary to play politics or defeat the
bridge issue in order to gain it. That attitude would on­
ly icive to antagonize the other section and result in
making it difficult for any part of the county to accom­
plish anything.
Dissatisfaction over m atters of the past, with which
Albany had nothing to do, is a poor excuse for anyone
opposing the present issue, which is an entirely different
m atter. 1 he two bridges asked for do not concern Al­
bany and H arrisburg alone, but the entire county, and
should stand upon the m erits of the present ca.se.
STATE GOOD TO LINN
\ \ hen ( orvallis wanted a bridge across the Wiliam
ette River Benton County paid the entire cost of con­
struction. Now the state comes to the aid of Linn County
and offeis about one-half of the cost of constructing the
Albany bridge and ore-third of the H arrisburg bridge.
