sANTIAM BRIDGE

Assigning as their reason that
taxes are already high and conditions
do not warrant bridge seross the
Santiam River at West Stayton at
present, the members of the board Of
county commissioners yesterday af-
ternoon declined to make an appro-
priation.
The proposition was presented to
the board by delegation from West
Salem. Members of the board Of
county commissioners Of Linn coun-
ty were also present. The plan was
to have the bridge built jointly by
the two counties and Its cost was es-
timated at 10000, The board Of this
county took the view that the demand
for q bridge is not at the present
great enough, and in view of thia and
the. high taxes decided to not make
an appropriation.
Evidence was also taken In the
Claggett road controversy and this af-
ternoon arguments were made.
