RALST0N LOCATES
CAUSE Of FALL

City Engineer Ralston has filed
his report with the city council, in
response to resolution by Coun-
Gilman Charley Mohr, telling why
the Monroe street bridge fell down
wards and not otherwise Ralston
blames it all on nature and says
that he did nothing that contrib
uted to the collapse Of the bridge.
He says the sliding hillside.
which he traces as far back as the
office of the SpokeSman-Review, is
responsible. According to Ralston
the slide started at the Review and
kept going on until the bridge fell.
The report was not what Coun-
Gilman Mohr wanted, but in the
absence of a desire to prolong the
controversy he permitted the cOun-
Gil TO lay it on the shelf.
Hence, the collapse of the
bridge is closed incident and an
other victory has been scored by
Ralston.

CITY OFFICIALS
ASK AUTOMOBILE

In communication last night
to the city council City Engineer
Ralston renews his request for an
automobile. He says that l04 con
tracts have already been let for
work this year, involving $1,160,364,
and that the season has but opened.
Ralston and the board of public
works and the mayor tried to rail
road" an automobile through the
comptroller's office just before the
holidays, but the thing was held
up by Comptroller Farley and
never pushed further.
The council has referred the
Ralston petition to the finance
committee along with petitions for
an automobile for the street de-
partment and a request for a
motorcycle for the electrical in
spector's office. The reading of
these requests provoked smiles
from the councilmen.

DISCUSSION

All matters pertaining to the
franchises of the North Coast and
the Milwaukee last night were re-
ferred by the city council to the
committee Of the whole. A petition
signed by 200 citizens in favor of
the terminal rate clause was read,
also a letter of commendation from
Federal union II. 624 for the stand
of the city council in favor of the

The position of the council, taken
on the Shaefer resolution, is that no
further consideration be given the
franchises until the companies
agree to grant terminal rates.
