Biggs Bridge
Report Accepted
Olympia OJ.R) The Washing
ton Toll Bridge Authority yes
terday accepted a report on the
nrooosed Biggs Rapids bridge
over the Columbia river east of
The Dalles. The report was pre
pared by consulting engineers
Frederic R. Harris of New YorK
and N. W. Haner and Associates
of Portland.
The traffic and financial feas
ibility report said that 560.000
vehicles would have benefitted
by the bridge during 1955. It
estimated that the number of
vehicles which would cross the
bridge In 1959, its first year of
operation, would be in excess of
707,000.
The consulting engineers esti
mated that the annual average
revenue available for debt re
tirement would be S453.928 and
that this would be ample to
secure a bend issue of
$4,200,000.
The report said studies indi
cated that the bridge should be
constructed just west of the junc
tion of U.S. highways 30 and 97
and that the total cost would be
$4,134,000.

Multnomah Jury
Questions Elkins -
Portland (U K A grand jury
investigating allegations of vice
and corruption here continued to
question witnesses today.
James B. Elkins, Portland
nightlife figure, appeared before
the jury yesterday. He indicated
that he would not sign a waiver
of immunity presented to him.
The waiver is a form whicn, if
signed, indicates that what the
person says may be used against
him.
Raymond F. Clarke, an em
ployee of Elkins, also was
subpoenaed.
Elkins and Clark both arc still
technically defendants on a wire
tapping charge. John Patrick
Hannon, Elkins' attorney, said
the men were relying on the con
stitutional guarantee which says
'no person shall be compelled
in any criminal cases to be a
witness against himself."
Earlier, five newspaper re
porters testified. They were Wal
lace Turner and William Lam
bert, co-authors of an Oregon
ian series, and Doug Baker,
Rolla Crick and Brad Williams
of the Oregon Journal.
