OF all the strange proceedings OF the
present council, the above is the most
strange. That three sensible men should
go with copy of specifications in their
hand (the original plan and specifications
having been stolen) and after viewing
the work should pronounce the same
complete with the exception of pointing!
This is very strange to say the least
What are the facts? The abutments are
only laid to the bottom of bearing stones
leaving a space of 21a feet in height by
1917 feet in length forlearthwork to tum-
BILE into the river. The wings of the
abutments only finished to top of bearing
stones, leaving IS inches on each wing
unfinished which were to be sloped to-
wards the bank, on the east inches and
On the west Is inches leaving a wall "a
feet in length, 3 feet in width and an
average of 9 inches in thickness untouch-
ed and leaving no support for the side
walks approaching the bridge and they
will of necessity have to be placed on
stills of wood or upon earth in order to
bring them up to the height Of the side
walk on the bridge or the city will have
to make an extra appropriation to COM
plete the contract.
The plans and specifications (Which
were stolen) would have further shown
that the work and material should be of
first quality. Notwithstanding the above
omissions the resolution of the council
releases the contractors and they may
well chuckle over the gullibility of the
committee who has relieved them of an
expense of at least $3.50 in completing
their contract. We have no i'll will to-
wards the contractors. Theylare clever
fellows and went in for a make and have
succeeded. They get for material and work
$32. so per cord while another contractor
for the same kind of work last winter
received but 1850 or $1,000 less per
cord. We should not have alluded to
this subject at this time but for the per
sistent efforts of some persons in power
to throw the egregious plumbers of this
and Main Street Bridge upon the shoulders
of the city Surveyor. We are willing to
take our share of the curses. The balance
we propose to send home to roost on the
shoulders of the city council.

REDWOOD RIPPLES.

The fine weather and mud that pre-
vaill at this writing, make us think of
spring The cattle disdainfully look at
their hay. There is lazy feeling in
the human race, (if your scribe may be
allowed to call himself a sample,) and
the politicians quite naturally take to
caucus packing. All these things are in
the air. Still the cold weather may not
be all over.
Jas. Eagan had quite force of teams
on Saturday drawing sand for a new
house. Rev. Tierney will also accept
tavors in the same direction. He will
overhaul his house when spring ap-
proaches.

evening, and had pleasant little stay.
