Misunderstands Court s Ruling.

An Independence newspaper has
criticised Judge Belt for his ruling in
the injunction case recently heard in
the circuit court here to settle a CON
troversy as to street lines in North
Independence. The criticism is mis-
directed because of the writer's mis-
understanding of the facts in the case.
The suit in which Judge Belt ruled
against the city was not one to estab-
lish lines, but was suit by inJunc-
ton to restrain the city of Indepen-
dence from creating new street lines,
thus depriving certain property own
ers of their legal holdings. Judge
Belt had no alternative in the matter
and decided that the established
street, under the conditions, was the
legal one and that the property own
ers could not legally be deprived of
their holdings.

BRIDGE IS IN BAD SHAPE
INDEPENDENT ENGINEER SAYS
STRUCTURE DANGEROUS.
Steel That Appeared Sound Found
Rusted to Center While Making
Repairs Ordered.

The weak and wobbly steel bridge
afternoon which will in all probability
result in the permanent closing of the
structure, says the Capital Journal of
Wednesday evening.
"The bridge is safer after being
repaired than it was before, but still
is not safe," said Assistant Highway
Engineer Holmes this afternoon, "and
if there were another bridge avail
able within any reasonable distance
the steel bridge would be closed to-
night"
When the workmen began their re-
pairs on the bridge it was found that
steel that looked to be in good state
of preservation was rusted to the cen
ter. Rivets that appeared to be solid
were broken in the fingers and one
plate three-fourths of an inch in thick
ness and eight or 10 inches wide was
broken in the hands of the workmen
as it was taken out of the bridge. In
view of these conditions the state
highway engineering department call
ed in H. Morse, who is the western
representative of Ralph Mojeska to
make another examination of the
structure.
The bridge department of the state
highway commission is standing
squarely behind their report when
they pronounced it imperative that
the bridge be closed and state that
the repairs now being made are sim
ply replacing members that have en-
tirely deteriorated. As other mem
bers are being uncovered it has been
found that the steel was in worse con-
dition than anticipated and will never
be safe though it will be improved by
the repairs. In order that an entirely
unbiased opinion might be rendered
on the bridge Mr.. Morse was called
in to look over the structure.
The bridge department and the
county courts have considered the ur-
gent public demand that the bridge
be kept open in view of the business
that daily passes over the bridge but
if the report of Mr.. Morse is that the
bridge is unsafe even for light traffic,
it will be closed by the county court.
Mr.. Morse had not finished his report
this afternoon but the further he dug
into the rusted steel the more dubious
was the outlook for the life of the
structure.
The bridge has also developed a de-
cided leaning upstream and the weak
ened laterals will not permit tighten
ing to draw the structure back into
line. The report of Mr.. Morse will
be made to the highway engineers
office and then submitted to the coun-
ty court.
1t has been estimated that the clos
ing of the bridge would cause daily
loss of 5000 to the city of Salem and
it is in view Of this fact that every
effort is being made to keep the bridge
open. The expenses of repairs now
being made are but small percentage
of the loss that would be sustained if
the bridge were closed for any length
of time and the bridge department
considers that the money spent in re-
placing the rotten plates is well spent.
