Il has heretofore been reported by the
FREE TRADER that the Canton Bridge Com
papy had begun the work of removing the
Utica bridge. The work OF removal consist
ed simply OF tearing up g few p,ank at the
south end Of the bridge, cilcctUally closing
it TO travel.
/ bridge having existed AZ Utica this long,
it has become a necessity, and on Saturday
the highway commissioners OF Deer Park
and Utica met Mr.. Balm, the company's
agent, in this city, and made him an oiier OF
sl5, 900 for the superstructure. The compa'
ny's claim is $17, 400, and neither Mr.. BAN
nor the Bonneys, attorneys, would take a
cent less. The commissioners estimate that
g., 400 oil would be fair price sinceit would
cost that amount TO take !. down and set II
up las there IS some talk ol doing) at Mar
settles.
On Saturday no conclusion was arrived at
save that the commissioners went home with
the intention of calling meeting and pre-
pairing for building 4 new superstructure al
ter the bridge company had gotten theirs
out Of the way. lt.was during the week
thought, however, that the towns would ac-
cede TO the company's demands and vote
more money. This does net appear to have
been the ease, since the company after trying
In VAN 10 get men TO tear down the structure
at Utica and La Sale have concluded to send
gang from the shops al Canton, o., and
have now part OF the trestling under the
bridge to let down the iron work.
On Nov. II the Bonneys gave notice that
She complainant would ask the [. s.
Supreme Court to direct that defendants pay
to complainant as annual compensation for
use OF the bridge such a sum as may then be
determined upon rs being according to
equity and justice; also, that the suparstruc-
ture not having been wholly restored, but
returned in a damaged and detenorated con-
dition, The complainant VIII ask the Supreme
Court to drec5 that said defendant pay the
amount Of such damage and deterioration;
also, that one half Of the amount found to
be due this complainant, be paid by the de-
PENDANT, the county Of La Sale; and that
one quarter U. said amount be paid by the
defendant the town OF Utica; and that one
quarter Of said amount be paid 10y the de-
PENDANT the town of Deer Park.

Considerable progress has been made dur
in. the week in the preliminary arrange
ments for the Illinois river bridge. Mr.
Ward, who was engaged to. make plans and
specifications, has concluded his labors IN
that respect. These plans provide for first
class iron bridge, of six spans Zone more
than the present structurrD having Il road
WAY OF nineteen feet and sidewalk OF six
feet. The floor will be five feet above the old
level, or but few inches below the railroad
track at the mill. These plans the commit
tee approve, and probably bids will be ad-
ycrtised for and the contract let within the
next two weeks. We are assured by the
committee that at no one time during the
construction OF the bridge will travel be in
terrupted more than three hours, nor will the
gas and water supply be cut off more than
four hours at any one time. Work will be
pushed forward as rapidly as possible. 1t
seems quite probable that the board OF su-
pervisors will vote the desired assistance
from The county funds, inasmuch as the
bridge Ia virtually township property, and
were it not for the fact that the city limits
extend into South Ottawa IA few blocks, the
county would be compelled to pay one.half
OF the cost of construction. 1t must also be
plain TO all that every person driving into the
county seat from any town south OF the river
is obliged to cross this bridge, and from this
fact it will be seen that the advantages from
safe and frst.class structure will not be
confined to either the city or the two town.
ships, but will extend to the whole southern
half Of the county.
