TUESDAY HEARING
VITAL TO BRIDGE
Southern Pacific H a s N o t
“Agreed" to Pay $35,000 To
ward Span, But May Be Ask
ed To Do So By State Body
If Crossing Is Closed.
Interesting developments of vital
importance to early construction of
the new Springfield highway bridge
are in prospect in connection with the
public service commission on the pro
posed closing of the Second street
crossing to be held September 20 at
the county courthouse. Date of the
hearing was announced at this week's
council meeting.
Contrary to recent statements, the
Southern Pacific has not agreed te
pay 336.000 toward the new bridge,
but that is the amount which the
highway commission says the closing
of the »crossing Is worth to the railc
road company. The Southern Pacifio
it Is understood here, would like to
see the crossing closed without malt
ing any contribution toward the
bridge.
According to City Attorney I. M.
Peterson, the railroad company may
use a clause inserted In a deed for the
old piers as a basis for opposing the
contribution to the new span. Thia
clause Indicates, the railroad company
representatives say. that In the trans
fer of the piers to the city the South
ern Pacific Is relieved of all obliga
tion toward construction of the new
bridge.
This part of the matter probably
will not come out at the hearing
September 20. but It is understood
that the public service commission
which holds the hearing will decide
whether and how much the railroad
shall contribute if the crossing la
closed.
The city of Sprlngfleld will not be
a party to the hearing. It was called
by the public sefivlce commission la
connection with the request of the
highway commission for cloalng the
crossing and aaking the railroad to
help build the bridge.
Attorney Devers of the state com
mission Is to return to Springfield
Monday, presumably to call witnesses
for the hearing. Tnese undoubtedly
will Include several residents of the
aouthslde, who have signed a petltioa
opposing the closing and who are
parties to the hearing
Council to Consider Bridge
Mayor Bushman announced today
that a special meeting of the e'ty
council will be held on Monday night
to decide what stand the cltv wtu
take on the proposed closing of
Second street. On the following day
the public service commission wtif
conduct a hearing in Eugene on the
closing
The mayor indicated that there Is a
possibility that the city may rescind
Its action in approving the closing. He
said that he has sought the best legal
advice, and that attorneys disagrea
on various phases of the matter.
9nme say that the crossing cannot
be closed without paying property
holders damages for the lessening of
the value of their property. Others
say that there will be no premise for
damages.
The city favored the closing on the
hope that is would result In a 335.003
contribution by the Southern Paclflo
to the Sprlngfleld highway bridge, ft
damages are paid, nr the railroad
company does not contribute, or la
some other way the bridge finance«
are not benefltted. It seema that the
city has no desire to see the crossing
closed.
What action will be taken will not
be known until Monday night, said
the mayor.
