TO USE FUND

After q thorough Investigation OF
he bridge situation in the city the
bridge committee has decided mat
concrete abutments and wing walls
for the Twelfth street bridge is nee
essarv for the protection Of the i'm
movement on that street, and also
the bridge on Eighteenth between
Asylum avenue and Chemeketa street
needs to be repaired, and 1t will so
recommend this evening to the coun-
ell. but beyond that it make no rec
ommendation, save that it will be the
policy Of the committee to eXpend
the money in the bridge committees
hands in Just such cases, where 1t Is
necessary to give the city fire protec-
ton.
There is but $4,000 in the bridge
fund. and as the bridge bond election
went down in defeat, and the council
does not intend to avail itself of the
emergency clause, this is all that is
available for the construction of the
bridges which were washed away by
the spring floods. The committee
does not intend to take this amount
and put it into the construction OF
any one or two bridges, but to use ii
in repairing those which it is nee
essary to repair to protect the city in
cases of fire. The committee will
make no recommendations with rela,
ton to the decking of any bridges,
The committee in repairing the
bridges will hire only citizens of the
city.

as the same rested upon the tax pro-

to have replied with vile and abusive
language and to have followed this
verbal assault at the end of the game
by striking R. W. Sands, a lineman,
In the back of the head and knocking
him senseless.
The crowd became greatly incensed
at the alleged uncalled for action of

the clubhouse and was protected BY
the other players until the crowd had
dispersed.
President Shredder of the club said
today that If the charges against
Kennedy are proven, he will fine the
player heavily and may drop him
