portion, II not the whole, OF the structure
will be condemned. The north half Of the
bridge seems to have suffered from the
effects OF time and the elements rather more
than the south half. the braces running 20
The upper cords being far from perpendicu-
lar, and several OF the timbers being badly
decayed. No immediate danger need be APP,
pretended, however, the question simply be-
Ing whether 1t Is cheaper to repair or build q
new one. The general opinion seems to be
that the annual repairs would be greater
than the interest on new bridge. and that
in any event new bridge would be neces-
sary in few years.
While upon this subject OF bridges we
would call the attention Of the council to the
fact that the Fox river bridge IS greatly in
need OF that "coat OF paint" ordered by them
some time ago, as rust is forming to con-
siderable extent. Now Is the time TO move
before any material damage has been done.
And 1t appears also that the east abutment
of the Fox river bridge, particularly the
north side, is IN bad condition. From
some cause the stone are crushed and
broken, rendering immediate attention
necessary, otherwise next springs floods
may work serious injury.
Still another bridge is reyorted In dam
aged condition. The third pier OF the Bur.
lington bridge over the Illinois river is said
10 be cracked.

Ottawa Republican: ave called upon Scott
Bros Il Co. and they were too busy yester-
day to have much to say to US. The people
seem to be taking advantage OF the low
prices and the new goods as advertised last
week, notwithstanding some OF the Ottawa
merchants act as though they felt jealous
and sore over the rapidly increasing trade OF
this firm, as Scott Bros. Il Co. have always
controlled their own business, making as low
figures as they please, never entering into
any combination to establish certain prices,
nor do they allow commission men to fix
rates for them. The people will always find
their goods right Gust as represented) and
their prices the lowest. Buying and selling
for cash gives them great advantage"

SKIFr.-Mr. VIII. +. Skiff, for some years
past with J. Z. Porter as travelling agent, on
August resigned his position, and lett the
city for Indiana. Mr.. Skif will next year
represent the Shawnee Agricultural Compa-
ny Of Xenia, Ohio, on the road. The separa'
ton from Mr.. Porter was perfectly friendly,
since both were well satisfied with each other.
The change will give MIR. s. fewer months on
the road. This is an object, particularly as
we understand Mr.. s. is about to add another
half, one OF the bellies of Goodland, Indiana.
We regret Mr.. Skiff's departure from ottawa

say that the entertainment was one Of first
class merits in all its parts. The vocal and
instrumental music was excellent, and
the dancing and the acting good. \

seen on occasions of minstrel performances
were present last night, and seemed TO EN-.

The report OF Capt +. Y. Greene upon the bids
for the street sweeping work, dated May q, says:
II have no hesitation in saying that Wriyht's
machines are the best known for the purpose and
ningham machine used by Crawford and pro-
posed to be used by FIlbert. The princi-
pal points of superiority are as follows:
!. In the Wright machine the broom is COM
posed OF so many snirals as to be substantially a
cylinder, some portion Of which is always on the
three splrals. touching the pavement in success
sion. and they sometimes skip a portion or IT.
9 In the Smith machine the broom does not pro-
ject beyond the wheel; the line of dirt is therefore
passed over by the rear wheels, and Is sometimes
compressed to such an extent that the sweeping
chine the broom projects beyond the rear wheel.
throwing the dirt clear OF It.
8: In the Wright machine the broom shaft IL sus-
pended at the center and the broom OScilateS with
ITS own W. light and the difference OF pressure on
either side OF the center. 1t thus follows every
chine the broom shaft is suspended at each end,
ana Is therefore rigid. The broom passes over the
irregn,arities OF the street and not into them.
Dy three horses wien the brooms are held up 90
as 70 bear lightly on the street: when the brooms

In the machine to turn the brooms-the wheels
slip: The Wright machine uses four horses at all
times, and, being made almost wholly OF iron, It's
weight always gives friction enough on: the
wheels to turn the brooma
smith machine cannot be disputed. The me only My
question Is how much these advantages are worth
1or the Smith machine VIII do the WORK, assisted,
II necessary. by hand sweeping. When the bids
were opened in 1880 Wrights bid was about SIS 600
per annum more than Cranford's Tue advan-
tages OF his machine were not worth the price.
and the contract was awarded to Crawford.
The difference In bids now Is less than $1,000
per annum. In my Judgment the advantages are
worth that price. Possibly Mr.. Wright viii make
contract at the same price as Cranford's bid.
Ihere were great many complaints when Wright
nad the contract before, and there have been many

may be, until the District can AFFORD to clean all
