Work to start on Bridge of Gods: Reports from Stevenson are to the effect that the long-promised work on the proposed Bridge of the Gods will start within the next 30 days, and plans call for completion of the job by next summer.
The new span will be of the cantilever type and will be high enough above the water to permit boats to pass underneath. The main structure will be about 200 feet above the present water mark. The plan calls for several cement piers on the north side and an elaborate pier and approach on the Oregon side. At the center a balcony will be built on top of the structure accessible by steps, on which will be arranged conveniences for people to enjoy the wonderful view of the river, the rapids and distant hills. On the north side of the river there will be a four or five room modern house for the keeper and the adjoining grounds will be beautiful.

Dick Goe moves in for the stop: Frozen in almost a classic football pose is Dick Goe of Wy’east (84), who is getting ready to lower the boom on The Dalles halfback Doug Hattenhauer, who had just picked off Larry Williams’ flat pass. Hattenhauer managed only a four yard gain on this third-and-17 play, and The Dalles was forced to punt on the next down. The punt started the third Wy’east scoring drive of the first half, which gave the Eagles a 19.0 halftime lead.

Mayor given new powers: The ordinance receiving council approval gives the mayor of Hood River the power to suspend the city administrator without the approval of the full city council ... “I am concerned with the problem of staff morale,” [Don] Barckley said. “Hood River is a weak-mayor city; if the mayor can suspend a member of staff, damage is done to that employee.”
Council member Jean Smith was quick to point out that the mayor can only suspend, not remove, the city administrator. It would take a vote of the whole city council to fire a staff member, Smith said.
“The mayor has the authority to appoint the staff; the council confirms that appointment,” Mayor Jim Walker said. “This just gives the mayor a chance to deal with the staff more effectively.”
When the issue came to a vote, only Barckley voted against the notion.
... Walker also proclaimed Oct. 18 as Tsuruta Sister City Day in Hood River, the date to coincide with that Japanese city’s 30th anniversary.
