TO CONSIDER
vIADUCT

The city engineer was notified
this morning by City Clerk Elem
ing that next Tuesday night in the
committee of the whole the city
council will take up the proposition
of a viaduot on Washington street.
The engineer has plans which
will be considered and Alex M. Lup-
fer, chief engineer or the Spokane
& Inland Railway company, has
also submitted plans. The latter
call for viaduct, including the
present one over the Great North
ern tracks, 2100 feet in length and
ending north of the river at Dean
avenue. The plans show 1900 feet
of new work
Building will begin on the south
side of the north channel Of the
river and the viaduct will bridge
the o. r. & N. tracks to Dean ave
nue.. Estimates of cost have not
been figured except approximately.
The Spokane Traction company,
the o. R. & N. and the city are
each to be assessed for one-third Of
the expense.
The Traction company has al
ready acquiesced in the plan, but
the o. r. & N. when General Man
ager O'Brien was in the city, de.
liberately snubbed city officials by
refusing to consider it. Mr..
O'Brien was asked to NEE the
board of public works and members
Of the city council, but failed to
show up.

gravel beds and is absolutely pure.
We have a report from Chemist
Fassett to this effect"
McIntyre's plan is to do away
with the use of river water, with
which the big reservoir is now fill
ed. If the river water were con-
tinued in use and there were no
possibility of tapping the under
ground flow. then a filtration plant
would be the proper thing, accord
ing to the engineer; but he believes
an underground stream can be tap
ped and considers filtration unnec-
essary in that event.
