HISTORY OF THE VIADUCT
Councilman Woldenberg Not Pleased With
The EchO'S Recent Account

The Echo's Recent Account
Councilman Waldenberg puts shade
of different meaning on The Echo's
recently published annals of the bridge,
and has endeavored to give the true
facts' in the matter as follows:
Editor Echo-In the issue of The
Echo of September II last find the
following statement apropos to the
wrecking Of the viaduct:
The viaduct has been in use about
two years. For some time previous
the town had tried to induce the
Great Northern to construct via
duct across the tracks to accommo-
date travel, but could get no salts
faction. At last L. ]. Nelson sug
gested to the council that the town
condemn a street near where the
DlluSe Is HOW.
Mr.. Nelson said nothing of the kind;
nor was the viaduct established on any
suggestion of his. And I am very
much surprised that he has not cor
rected the mistake.
Before l give you short history of
how the viaduct was obtained, permit
me to state that if any of my acts on
the council assisted in obtaining the
viaduct, 1 simply did my duty towards
the people; am not entitled to any
credit or thanks, nor do I expect or
ask for any.
January 8, 1907. Deed H. Magyar,
holdover, in the chair. Resolution by
Councilman Woldenberg: Be it re-
solved by the town council of Lea
venworth, Wash, that the city attor-
ney (Mr. Nelson) be and is hereby
instructed to draft and submit to said
council at its next meeting an ordi-
nance establishing two legal grade
crossings within the limits of the
town of Leavenworth, Wash, and
across the right OF way and tracks of
the Great Northern Railway Co., said
crossings to be located in places
suited to the convenience of the
public as a whole. Said ordinance
shall also provide for stated times of
the day at which these crossings shall
be kept open and clear for the safe
passage Of foot passengers and other
traffic; also penalty for violation of
same. Yes-Woldenberg, Hathaway;
no-Hansen, Featherstone. Lost.
January Do, 1907. Same resolu
ton; lost as before.
March IL, 1907. Same resolution,
no second.
June 25, 1907. Resolution by
Woldenberg instructing city attorney
to commence condemnation proceed
ings against the Great Northern Rail
way Co., condemning strip sixty
feet wide, located opposite Ninth
street and between the right OF way
of the Great Northern Railway Co.
and Front street, in the town OF Lea
wentworth, to be used for establishing
a grade crossing over the Great
Northern Railway tracks. Carried.
Up to this time the council, except
myself, had followed a policy OF concil-
iation with the Great Northern Railway
Co., but had gained nothing.
Suit was commenced against the
Great Northern Railway Co. in the fall
of 1907, and the day before the suit
was set for trial their attorney made a
compromise with the council, from
which the present viaduct resulted.
All OF the above is taken from the
town records. Besides, have the
testimony Of living witnesses who served
with me on the council in 1907. Now,
draw your own conclusions.
Respectfully, S. c. Waldenberg.
