Morton called up the bill to au-
thoriZe the construction of bridges
across the Ohio River, recently pub
lished.
Van WinkIe opposed it. arguing
that the proposed span Of 500 feet
was impractieable, unnecessary and
dangerous. It was aimed, he said, at
two bridges now building.
Morton replied that he had sub
mitted the testimony of the mer-
chants and Boards of Trade of Gin
cinnai and Pittsburg, and pilots OF
the Ohio river. with petitions to this
body showing the necessity of protec-
ton to navigation. He said that no
opposition was made except by two
railroad companies that want to build
two cheap bridges, and would for thai
purpose imperil the commerce of the
country. He read from reports made
by Col Roberts, in charge of engin
eerlng on the Ohio river, and by Col
Warren, showing the necessity anC
feasibility of 500 feet span. He in
sisted that bridges can be built al
cheaply with 500 as with 300 feet span
Pomeroy followed in opposition Il
the bill, holding that 500 feet spans
are impossible in any but suspension
