The Bridge Question Agnfm-The RtnAser
Idea-Facts and Figures.
"Without touching upon the question of
the propriety Of a new bridge, my idea of one
would be a stone arch, built beneath the sus-
pension bridge, so as to permit the latter to
remain until the new one is ready for ser
vice.n
City Engineer Rinker had just bowed out
the committee on paving and had allowed
his countenance to wrinkle itself into one
big smile at tie sight Of GLOBE courier
and at the mention of the bridge. This old
subject familiar to all, took on new in
terest Yesterday, when the board OF trade had
so gracefully reversed itself. That the present
suspension bridge has been. is and always
was a costly nuisance,is patent TO every Min
neapolitan who has had occasion TO cross 1t.
With its eighteen feet in the clear, OF road
way il cost the munifcent sum of 1923, 600
in the days, nine years ago, when Engineer
Griffith drew the princely salary Of 10000
per annum. 1t was built By the day, with
out contract and Mr.. Rnker now estimates
that for the same sum a handsome stone
arch bridge could be erected, eighty feet wide,
with So foot roadway aud two l2-foot side
walks. His idea would be to build it
directly beneath the present bridge, so as not
to deprive the city of the use Of a roadway
during the building.
This, Of course, is on the presumption that
the site Of the present bridge is the desirable
one. The stone structure over the east
channel will be sufficient as much Of the
| heavy travel from the west is diverted when
the island is reached. Bridges are badly
needed, both up and down the river, es-
! pecialy the latter, which would considerably
| shorten tie drive TO S.. Paul. A bridge
| from Second avenue, crossing the river dag
onally TO reach the east abutment Of the sus-
| pension bridge, has been talked Of, hut is
| scarcely practicable. Still less so is the pro-
| iect TO build straight across from Second, as
it would involve an immense span and an
expensive right of way across the Island.

happened, however, for week previous to
this death. The jury found the death acct
dental, aud made no criticism upon the

cause of an old quarrel between some of the

This should be remedied in some way. Those
streets not fortunate enough TO have electric
lights, rejoice in darkness made visible"
and Minneapolis cannot afford to permit such
state of affairs to continue. Take, for ex-
ample, First avenue south, an important
thoroughfare, which the pedestrian shuns
after passing Fourth street going west, from
sheer inability to grope his way along the
dark and tortuous foot path tracked out
through the snow. All the streets running
at right angles to Nicollet and supposed to
be in range of the electric mast, are dark and
dangerous. The complaint that thieves and
thugs might there ply their vocation with
impunity, is not badly founded.

GLAD AUTUMN DAYS.

The magic voice of spring has gone,
Her emerald blades are turning brown;
Her Dandelion's ball Of lace.
Has given place to Thistle-down;
The v1olets have caught the dew,
And hid il meath their bocnets blue,
And orchard blossoms, pure and sweet,
Have long since withercd IN the heat.
The sickle, sharp and keen, has reaped
The meadow blossoms, rows on rows;
The Barley lies in winnowed heaps,
And aftermath. luxuriant grows;
The Sumao tall, all touched with change,
Forms, crimson head around the grange,
Aud floating 10Y my path across,
On gauzy wings is Milkweed's floss.
Naples all in scarlet dressed;
o spikes of fiery Golden-rod;
o puppies Asters everywhere
Upspringing frcnt he sere-grown sod;
o blue-fringed GenJian, growing tall,
Thou contest when the leaflets fall,
Sweet flowers to bloom meath golden haze
And glorify glad autumn days.
