Some ides of the magnitude Of the eontsma

be gathered from tins following which We clip
from ST Louis paper:
'fThe entire length Of the bridge viii be

Necessary to bridge at least two streets be-
sides the above, on the St Louis side, before

bridged. The total length of the bridging
over the slough on the Illinois shore viii be
