RESIDENTS
ASK COUNTY TO CHANGE
BRIDGE ACROSS CREEK
Complaint is Made That Bridge
Forms Obstruction; Cause
Water to Flood Property.

A suit to compel the county to
change the two concrete bridges across
Tutuilla creek at the west end Of
Webb street. was filed in the circuit
court this morning. The plaintiffs are
Herman Peters, William Z. Welch.
Barney Dougherty and s. H. Forshaw.
all residents of the west end of the
city. George W. Coutts of Pendleton,
together with Richards & Richards OF
Portland are attorneys for the plain
t.ffs.
II is alleged in the complaint that
before the bridges were constructed
the natural channel of the stream was
sufficient TO carry off the flood waters
but that when the bridges were built
they were constructed in such a way
as to form distractions in the stream
and cause the water to flood the prop
erty- of the complaining citizens.
1t Is specifically alleged that the
bottoms Of the bridges are more than
two feet below the banks OF the
stream, that the piers set out in the
stream bed rest on a concrete
base two feet high which extends clear
across the bed of the stream, thus
greatly reducing the water carrying
capacity of the water course BY rea-
son OF these facts the plaintiffs allege
Their property has been periodically
overflowed every year since the
bridges were built
1t is further alleged that such over
flowing of the land has resulted in
washing away the soil. undermining
buildings, depositing filth and debris
and otherwise causing damage and in
convenience. The last time this oc-
Cured, according TO the complaint, was
in February OF this year.
The court is asked to compel the
county to reconstruct the bridges in
such way that they will not contin-
ue to be distractions.
II has been known for some time
that a suit was TO be filed aga INST eth
er the city or the county, or both, and
It was anticipated that the property
owners would ask for damages. The
city is not involved in the suit filed
and il is net damage suit, as no dam
ages are asked. Apparently the pur-
pose of this suit is merely to compel
the county to change the bridges so
that the water can pass underneath,
as the complaint alleges it did before
the bridges were built.
