LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
TwELFrH-srREEr BRIDGE.-Street Com
missioner Nielsen has a force of workmen
engaged in widening and otherwise i'm
proving the Twelfth-street bridge, immedi-
ately north of the railroad levee The
planking of the old bridge, which was but
twelve feet wide, became so worn that it
was considered dangerous. The bridge was
so narrow, that often after night teams
would meet upon 1t, and owing to its being
so narrow one of them would be compelled
TO back, sometimes distance of 200 feet.
The wagons would also all follow in one
track, thus cutting planking very rapid
ly where the wheels passed. This road is
used more than any other approaching the
city, and this bridge owing to its construc-
ton, has been a great source of annoyance
to the travelling public The Street Com
missioner has placed a long and solid
Stringer of Oregon pine timber along the
east side of the bridge six feet distant, max
ing the bridge eighteen feet wide, which
will admit of the largest teams passing at
any point 1t is newly planked with Ore
gon pine, which is also covered by the old
planking, three inches in thickness. The
structure will now last for many years, and
all the objections heretofore enumerated
avoided. On either side of the bridge is a
neat railing, four feet in hight, leaving the
bridge in the clear eighteen feet in width
The structure is 1876 feet in length. New
abutments have been made, and the APP
proaches widened and graded The cost of
the work Will be in the neighbOrhood of
$3.50, and it will be completed by tomorrow
evening.
