1 o8 THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE SATURDAY, OCT. 20, 1934 BRIDGE SITE DISCUSSED BY .~ COUNGILMEN | Special Public Meeting to Be Held Next Tuesday | on Location Question ation of a zens pro- Follow petition tosting ¢ City Coun proving the 1 bridge at Calhoun Avenue he prese: gned by 74 nst the action of the o weeks ago in ap- fon of the present as the site for the proposed new concrete span across Gi Cresk, the Coun- cil at its meeting last night de- cided to hold a special meeting next Tuesday night to ascertain the sentiment of taxpayers on the question. Among those who spoke in favor of the alternative route which would call for a bridge about 100 feet downstream from the present bridge, and connecting Calhoun Avenue near Gold Belt Avenue by a graceful curve with 12th Street, were James Larson, Allen Shat-| tuck, H. G. Nordling and J. P. Dalton. They argued that increased traffic potentialities justify this more costly structure. ! City Engineer M. A. Lagergren and Consulting Engineer O. H Stratton admitted that the adop-| tion of the proposed location as the site for the new crossing would entail an additional expense of approximately $8,000, as compared with the present route, though it ‘would be more direct and take care of the traffic to better advantage. They pointed out, however, that the new bridge as planned will have a 24-foot roadway, twice the width of the present wooden span, and that with the widening and the straightening of the approaches now contemplated the new route will be a vast improvement over the existing situation Engineers’ Estimates The engineers’ estimates indi- cate that a bridge at the present site would cost about $5500, at the proposed new location $13500. Im- provement of the approaches would | cost an estimated additional sum | of $1,500 in one case and $2,500 in | the other, making a total esti-| mated difference in cost of $9,000, it was stated. Mayor 1. Goldstein said that all| the councilmen and he, citizens in general, believed that unquestion ably the more costly route was pre- ferable from a traffic standpoint, | but that he did- not favor the city going into debt for the additional | amount required. He explained the PWA loan and bond issue allowed | only $5000 for the Gold Creek | bridge and that no latitude in ex- panding the amount was possible, except through act of Congress| and another vote of the people. The money would have to be bor- rowed, and in his opinion the ad- vantages of the costlier.bridge were | not sufficient to outweigh the ob-l Jjection to increase in the city debt. The Councilmen expressed their willingness to hear further from | citizens on the matter, and the Mayor announced that he would | call a special meeting of the Coun- cil for next Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., | when property owners could be TONS OF BRICK, DEBRIS CAVE IN cin'ii foMpANy 8% wnw pap L i the fire, it was stated.
