latter TO the department on the reti-

Lewis and Clark draw bridge and the
proposition TO rebuild the bridge
across the Claskanie on the Nehalem

court that the government will not re-
quire the draw of the Lewis and
Clark bridge TO be more than 20 feet

sufficient by the steamboat men, When

THAT STORM SEWER.
81 Am Against It if the People Are
Saws Mayor Mclean

There has been considerable comment
unfavorable to the storm water sewer for
the central portion of the city and when
seen last night Mayor Mclean said:
Il am against it if the people don't
want it. The people need have no uneasi-
ness in my judgment. concerning this
sewer, for unless there should develop
very strong sentiment in favor of it,
nothing will be done
For about two years people from all
over the city have been urging the council
to build a storm water sewer. We all
realized the need of one and employed an
expert TO get up plans and specifications
for this system and we were ready TO be
gin the construction. The council felt
that as it meant such Il large expenditure
of money to be paid by those in the dis
trict il would he best to canvass the
sentiment regarding it The best way in
our judgment was to detail competent
men for about five or six days to see the
tax payers. 7. nor any one of the council,
so far as I know, want to force this eX-
pense on people if they don't want the

are going TO consolidate the two roads
and DO the business through one termi-
aal" Said another: They can't; there
is tee much business. The only manner
in which the two roads can consolidate
and transact the business Of the two
companies successfully and conveniently,
Is to use one terminal for the freight de-
partn1ent and the other for the passen-
ger business.
These and many other conjectures on
the part Of the employees as 70 what the
result OF the survey viii be are heard
