A Jouknal Reporter has Inter
viewed nearly all theSalembuMness
men ou their preferences as to how
the South Commercial street viaduct
should built. Theie is an almost
universal demand for a stone bridge.
tfovcral suggest the very excellent
idea that the arches be sprung of
brick work. Bric.c would mako a
lighter arch and would be more
beautiful thtn ruble or scable ma
sonry, and the figures indicate that
it would bo cheaiei.
NKAKLY ALL KOK STONE.
Z Craven: Build It of stone and
It will last a thousand years.
W. W. Martin: Build it of stone
and turn the arch of brick. A sixty
foot arch will take 198.000 brick.
Postmaster Gilbert: Stone !
Gilbert Bres: A good stone bridge
would last for eternity almost.
A. Klein: A good stone viaduct
will lust forever. Give workingmen
a chance to get a dollar in their
pockets.
J H. Haue.: Stone.
Dr. Riehar.lxen: If they build a
briiie it should be of sloue. That
is the ouly kind to build.
John G. Wright, I am strongly
iu fvor of stone. It will give work-
lugmen a chance I like the idea of
a brick arch, if one is too heavy for
brick make two arches. Brick will
make a lighter and better urch than
sloue.
Win. Brewn: I am heartily in
favor of a stone bridge. As well
keep the present as build of wood.
A. S. Brasfleld: Stone. Then the
money will be left right in Salem,
every dollar.
fannth & Stelner: Give us a stone
arch viaduct. It would be orna
mental, permanent, aud something
to be proud of.
Jo. Flshburn: Stone will make a
permanent job, and it will be done
with forever. Labor is cheap and
uow is the most favorable time.
H. Stapleteu: Plank and pile it.
Pile and plank It. That will cost
$4000 to $5000.
Geo. D. Goedhue: If the money
can be raised, a stone viaduct every
time.
H. M. Bransen: They ought to
build a good stone bridge.
Frank Dearbern: Stone or steel
if we can afford it.
J. H. Albert: I am in favor of a
good substantial bridge if practica
ble, of stone.
Kraussa Bros.: Stone a good one
that will stay there full street
width.
Ike Pattersen: There must be
some permanent improvement Be
sides a good bridge or that street
will have to be abandoned.
Geo. F. Smith: A well built stone
bridge would be a flno permanent
thing forever.
H. A. Themas: Stone arch.
Sam Adelph: I am Iu favor of a
good bridge.
A. Bush: Stone Is the best
material if Jt Is not too dear. A
brick arch would be all right.
Burton Bros.: Brick can belaid
down at the bridge for $7.00 to $7.30
a thousand good hard burned brick.
It will coat $6.00 per thousand to
lay them, or $2600 to $2700 for a 60
foot brick arch, If it takes 200,000
brick.
W. W. Skinner: All the bridges
built in this city hereafter should be
built the full width of the btreet
Get. Fleye: Build it of stone.
Then it is finished. There Is noth
ing to decay or impede the view.
E C. Cra-: Stone that will work
iu Square blocks would be the thing.
Otherwise a good steel bridge.
T. MoF. Patten: Filtv it In and
make It a permanent full width
crosiing. J prefer stone.
J. H. Bridge-: I prefer a stone
bridge, It would throw the miliej
into the hands of people who want
employment.
Brooks & Harrltt: Rather have
stone.
P. S. Knight: a good stone bridge
with brick arches Is the thing.
Dr. Cuslnk: Build It of the most
substantial material.
G. Stelner: If It as cheap, stone
Is the best. Nothing but an earth
quake will destroy It.
John Hughes: Rock, but no botch
work. It Hhould be a cut stone
culvert of the best quality. Fifty
feet will cirry the water. Brick is
belter than rubble for the arch.
Jap Miute: You may put mo
dowu for a solid stone bridge full
Width of the streot, that will List
forever. It will be raouey well In
vested. Contractor A. B. Smlih: The city
will be foolish to put in n pile bridge
when eveu ut $15 a thousand an
arch can be put over there for $3000,
and the whole thing can be finished
In solid nmsouary iiwide of $10,000.
Juiues Aitken: I want a stone
bridge, that will last for tlvo huu
dred years mid employ our hoim
labor.
I. Stelner: Stone arch Is what we
ought to have, even If It costs more.
J. Q. Wilsen: The old bridge will
stand for twenty years yet.
A. I. Wagner: Build it of steel.
It will look more cosmopolitan.
John Kuight: Public Improve
ments should bo solid, substantia
aud permanent and give work to the
men of this city every time as much
as possible.
Gray Bres: A wooden bridge will
be only temporary, a steel bridge
will be another steal; a good atiue
arch viaduct will boa good invest
ment and mako some good busiues-s
property across the creek.
L. S. Skiff: You may record me
for a piece of solid permanent job
every time. PiogreiS and common
seno demands it.
Leo Willis: By all means sub
Btautlal aud permanent.
Tom Hubbaid: Good abutments
and a good steel bridge.
Kliuger & Beck: A stone founda
tion and iron ou top. Kept well
painted it will last as lou.r as wo
want it.
Rialroad Commissioner Colvlg
went to Portland this mornlug to
accept the terms of a compromise
with the Union Pacific railway
company, by which Its rate cases
are taken out of court.
lUferees Utilities, Chalrmau Col
vl', District Attorney Bingham and
Attorney General Chamberlain have
srored a gteat victory, as this means
the adopliou of the commissioner's
rat. Ithai taken hard work to
bring this about, and a great deal of
hard work has beeu done the past
few days. Dlstrlot Attorney liing
ham was seeu at noou by a Jotjk
nal reporter aud said:
'I am expecting a telegram any
moment annouclug the final con
clusion of the matters by Mr. Col
vlg, aud we are feeling very happy
over the rusult.
The terms of tho compromise are
i hut they adopt about a 75 per cent,
cut of tho rates fixed by tho com
mission. Thev adopt the commissioners'
rate ou llvo stock, which in many
places amounts to a reduction of $20
a car, as from Huutlngton to Port
laud It was $85 a car and will now
be $65.
On live stock over the Union Pa
cific this means hundreds of thou
sauds of dollars luto tho pockets of
Oregon ranchers. The llvo stock
rate Is still high, but we have made
a great advance toward lower rates.
Iu placo of a cut of $10 a car from
The Dalles to Portland ou all grain
shipments, the compauy accepts a
$7.50 reduction, or 75 uer cent, of
what the commission proposed.
The cut on the Southern Pacific
rated is 1cm than on the Northern
Piolilc but they ure still fighting.
They are however liable to adopt
the re.lucthns too aud that will put
au end to tho litigation aud. the
lower rates will go Into effect all
over the state at once."
