if a hiirh noon sun Raich Powell of
Omaha worked himself into the third

TO ASK ESTIMATES
FOR FREE BRIDGE
Officials of Douglas and Potta
wattamie Counties Hold
Conference.
Today's Calendar of Sports
SENTIMENT 13 FAVORABLE
The net result of a Missouri river
free bridge conference yesterday aft
ernoon in the Chamber of Commerce
and court house at Council Bluffs was
a decision to ask the engineers of
Douglas and Pottawattamie countie.t
and the states of Iowa and Nebraska
to prepare estimates at an early date.
Attending the joint conference
were: Commissioners Best, O'Con
nor and McDonald of Douglas
county; Comissioner Manley of the
Omaha Commercial club, Supervisors
Harding, True, Coe, Shields and In
gram of Pottawattamie county; F, F.
Everest, George Gerner, A. C. Keller,
H. A. Searle and M. Wallace of the
Council Bluffs Chamber of Com
merce, and other officials of both
counties. George T. Morton and M.
M. Heptonstahl . represented the
Omaha Commercial club free bfidge
committee.
Bluffs Favors Project.
Sentiment among the Council
Bluffs people was more favorable
toward the free bridge than it was a
few years ago when this project was
discussed.
Mr. Morton was appointed chair
man at a general conference held in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms,
and then the county boards of both
sides of the river went to the court
house, where further discussion was
held.
The possible donation of the old
superstructure of the Union Pacific
bridge was not regarded as a serious
matter, but this will be considered
when the engineers make their esti
mates. The main proposition is that
Omaha and Council Bluffs need a free
bridge for the benefits of both cities.
Pro Rata Cost Secondary.
Commissioner Manley of the
Omaha Commercial club tr'A: "I
think it would be better to tust get
an estimate of the cost of s new
bridge before we bothei ,out the pro
rata cost to the two cities."
"Pottawattamie county was never
in better financial condition and I
feel confident the bonds will carry,"
said W. C. Boyer of Council Bluffs.
"This is a large proposition and we
should look into the future. We
Bhould not be in any great haste. We
should consider the Lincoln Highway
feature and should also remember
that a national military road may go
over this bridge. We may get federal
aid on this," were statements of F. C.
Best, chairman of the Douglas county
board.
George T. Morton said he was not
ready to state whether the people of
Douglas county would be willing to
stand more than one-half of the ex
pense of the bridge, notwithstanding
that the manifest benefits would be
more than half to this county. The
suggestion was made that on a basis
of taxable valuations of-the two coun
ties Douglas county should pay
three-fourths or more.
"I moved from Omaha to Coun
cil Bluffs 28 years ago and have been
looking for a free bridge ever since.
I hope to see this bridge before I die,"
said A. C. Keller.
Mr. Morton added the thought that
the whole states of Iowa and Ne
braska would be benefited by this free
bridge.
The bridge would touch Omaha at
Farnam street. Nothing definite has
been decided as to the kind of bridge
that will be built.
The Omaha conferees expressed the
belief that the Council Bluffs people
seem to be in earnest this time over
the free bridge project and they feel
confident that an educational cam
paign in both counties will result in
passage of bond propositions. The
increasing automobile traffic has im
pressed the Iowans with the needs of
a free bridge. ' '
