FIGHT COUNCIL
TO FINISH ON
BRIDGE GRANT
Chamber of Commerce Plans
to Take Immediate Action
For Test in Court
COMMISSIONERS RAPED
Property Owners Effected by
Connecting Viaduct to Join
in Battle

Members of the City Council who
are explaining their grant to a private
corporation to erect an overhead
bridge on Seventh street. on the score
of concern for local manufacturing
interests, are coming in for lot of
public criticism because in the same
breath thew declare this permit es-
tablishes no precedent IF it makes
no precedent" said a prominent citi-
zen to-day. then it is wrong in prin-
ciple and absolutely unfair to the gen.
eral business community. What
right has City Council to give such a
permit to one corporation or indi-
vidual and not to another? If an
overhead bridge is right on Seventh
street it is right on any other street.
The only justification for such a struc-
certain section of the city for indus
trial purposes where plants or sections
of plants might be united by overhead
runways across streets used only for
business purposes. Council is in wrong
and I'm surprised that this matter has
been Jammed through without thought
or the consequences. The people will
be heard from later"
It was stated to-day that the Cham
Der of Commerce had retained counsel
and that immediate steps would be
taken to secure a legal decision
through the courts as to the right of
the city to grant it's consent for the
building of such a bridge in a public
highway 1t is alleged in legal cir
cles that inasmuch as the erection of
bay windows was prohibited by city
ordinance until certain specific regula-
tions were adopted for the guidance
of contracts and builders. on the
ground that such windows obstructed
the view of adjoining property own
ers-the erection of an overhead
bridge across a mixed business and
residential street was clearly an in
fraction of the law as we'll as an in
vasion Of the right of the public. It
was reported to-day that property
owners north of the point where the
proposed bridge or runway on Seventh
street would be placed are preparing
to join with the Chamber of Com
merce and the Planning Commission
in preventing the structure going up.

STATE GAZETTE ~ A WEEK

A marked advance in the price of
print" paper and an increased cost Of
labor makes it necessary for the pub
fishers of the State Gazette to increase
the price of that newspaper from 10
cents to II cents a week where it is
served by carrier.
The publishers of the State Gazette
regret the necessity for taking this
step, but conditions are such that the
present price, 10 cents week, barely
pays the cost of the paper on which
the State Gazette is printed.
1t is hoped subscribers will under
stand the necessity for this move and
continue to let the State Gazette give
them the best news service obtainable
in this section of the State.
