February 7, 1921 -- An Oregon senate bill introduced by State Senator A. S. Norblad of Astoria authorized the state highway commission to make a survey for a bridge across the Columbia river between Portland and the sea. [It was reported later that not much statewide attention was paid to that resolution, although it was reported in the paper. It was also stated that the Washington legislature would not even give the matter consideration, so the movement at that time failed of its purpose.]
