The Feepie-e Paper* X E NgW SFAPgR IN A L IV E TOW N NUMBER 3« 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. F. W. BARNARD DIES SATURDAY EVENING F W.
