RAPIDS IMPROVEMENT, BRIDGE, 4 i,

| see by the GATE that there are several
Companies in Keokuk, organized, contempla.
ting the Improvement ofthe rapids, bridge,
and water power; and on this side of the
river, believe there are about the same NUN.
ber-fve or six in all. Besides these, have
heard it intimated that there are several rail.
road companies about taking hold to bridge
the river at this point. All these combined.
with generous appropriation by Congress,
would no doubt develop advantages here
equalled by few places in the West. But the
danger IS, that these companies will so stand
IN each others way, as to delay or impede the
early commencement and completion of these
desirable and important works.
Consolidate, gentlemen, and then go on
and make your surveys, plans and estimates,
and open your books. You will find plenty
OF money, if | am not much mistaken. But
put your works-bridge,:. lock and wing dam
all above town, out of the way, on the lower
edge of the lower chain of rapids.
1t might be necessary to have these
Swings, draws or "pivots' in bridge
here, and the piers should be sufficiently
broad and high to carry three double tracks
rail, carriage and foot passage.
am aware that the distance would proba-
bly, be at least one fourth greater across the
river on the rapids, and yet think it would
cost less to build bridge there, as presume
the water is not half the depth it is below.
and then, too, it is Just where the water
power should be commenced.
