THE BRIDGE IN THE CoUSCIL.-The petit
ton of majority of the tax payers in the
city of Lewiston, praying that the City
Council take steps to construct good sub
stantial free bridge across the Clearwater
river was presented on Monday evening and
on motion it was re solved to grant the pray.
| ers of the petitioners, and the matter was
| referred to the Committee on Finance whose
duty it was made to forthwith correspond
with bridge builders and have them come
| and inspect the sites fronting the city and
| make estimates of cost at the different points
and furnish plans and specifications prepara-
tory to bidding for the work under contract.
! They authorized the publication of notice
to all bridge builders of the purpose of the
| city to build a bridge over said stream as
soon as pr cticable The City Council is
authorized to borrow money, if necessity
relune. to pay the expenses of this work
and the tax payers have asked that the
Council cause the iding of the bridge,
even if they have to borrow he money on
the credit of the city to build. Not a single
member of the Council objected to granting
the prayers of the petitioners. The COM
mlttee II 20 report proerss IS at an adjourned
meeting of the Council On Monday the 18th
of March. SO far as we can now foresee the
Clearwater river will be spa4.ned by good
bridg opposite Lewiston inside of nine montl 8
from this date, and perhaps much sooner
and in time to accommodate the travel and
freighting of the coming harvest. 1t is es-
timated that it will require from $40, coo to
$50, 600 to do the work. A good bridge
builder may make a lower estimate.
