The New RIVER BRIDGE AT DUUuQuE-
The new river bridge across the Mississippi
River between Dubuque and Dunleth is, as
before announced in this paper, completed
and trains have commenced running over it
River men will be interested in reading the
following particulars concerning the .truc.
ture
The top Of the bridge will be over forty
feet above low water. The greatest differ
ence between high and low water here is
found to be twenty.one and a half feet--this
depth of low water on the line Of the bridge
at one point js eighteen feet hence the depth
Of water at the high stage is nearly forty
feet.
The length of the draw is nearly 800 feet.
leaving on each side Of the draw-pier clear
space of 100 feet for RATS and steamboats,
The bridge is placed at right angles with
the channel Of the river, so that no danger
is apprehended to boats on account Of de.
feCted or cross currents, as was the case with
the Rock Island bridge.
Each of the four deep water piers contain

STREET EXTENsIONs.-The city council
proposes to lay out new street on the old
Indian Boundary line, to be called Indian
Boundary street. 1t will start from point
at the head of Howard Avenue, near the
Greeubush Mission House. and then follow
the Indian Boundary line down back Of the
residences of Judge Drury DR.. Gregg, Mr.
Mixter, Mrs. Charles Buford, and Bailey
Davenport, to a point where it would inter.
sect with Otter street, and then, bearing
little south, continue on west parallel with
South Street, to Exchange Street.
Swan, Ohio, Deer, Beaver and Arsenal
streets are to be extended to the southern
limits of the city.
Arsenal street will have jog of thirty
feet in it, at Moline Avenue.
There is one thing that the city council
should remember, viz: they cannot tax the
whole city for opening these streets, and if
they attempt to do it the tax Will be an lille.
gal one. The tax for opening the streets
must be assessed upon the land adjacent
thereto, as provided by the city charter in
Art. VI, Sec. 10, as follows
SECTION 10. Having ascertained the damages
and expenses Of such improvements as Giore-
said, the commissioners shall thcreupon appor-
ton and assess the same, together with the costs
Of the proceedings upon the real estate by them
deemed benefited, in proportion 20 the benefits
resulting thereto from the improvements, as
noarly as may be, and shall describe the real
estate upon which such assessment may be made
When completed the commissioners shall sign
and return the same to the city council, within
thirty days of their appointment.
