THE BRIDGE AND LEvEE.
Important Topics Discussed by the
West Side Union.
"A WIDER BRIDGE IS WANTED.
Capt. Starkey's Report OH the Long.
II Delayed Work Of Levee
- Construction.

There was full attendance at the
West Side Citizens union meeting last
evening. Vice President Stanley occu-
pied the chair.
o., Mr.. Wedge, from the committee APP
pointed to confer with the city engineer
regarding the widening of the new span
of the Wabasha street bridge, reported
that the committee, in connection with
q similar committee from the chamb er
Of commerce, had called on that gen.
tleman and unanimously recon-
mended to him the building OF a
new span sixty feet in width and re-
Quested him to prepare report to that
effect for the common council. Mr..
Wedge said further that the city char
ter, as amended in 1881, provided for
the levying of a tax not to exceed one
mill for the construction and repairing
of the Wabasha street bridge, and as
the estimated valuation of property to-
day is $3.50, 000,000, this would allow
S130,000 available funds for the rebuild
ing and constructing of that bridge.
The report of the committee was
adopted.
The levee question was then brought
up, and Capt. Starkey, who is cOnsid
cred the father of this movement, and
who had prepared some data OH the
subject, was called on. That gentle
man then gave a comprehensive and
complete history of the levee question
since its inception in 1874. at the time
when the Sixth ward was annexed to
the city proper. Said Capt. Starkey:
II take it that

others. Ever since 1874 the people on
this side of the river have been clamOr-
ing for a leyee, and to-day you are
further from obtaining the object
sought for than ever before, Since the
date OF annexation, in 1874, the con-
structiOn of levee on the west bank of
the Mississippi has been demanded for
the protection of the lives and prop
erty of the citizens in case OF an
overflow" Capt Starkey then gave in
deteal the various ordinances and laws
passed regarding the construction of
the levee. He concluded his remarks
by saying that the history of the lease
carried ON its face its own comment, and
the clrcumlOcutiOn found in the differ
cut orders relating to the same was
the very best evidence of the success
met with.
Mr.. SOmers was called on and coin
cided fully with Capt. Starkey's views.
Mr.. BOles said that the condemnation
proceedings were rotten from the
foundation, and that the leyee move
ment would find its greatest obstacle in
the city attorneys Office.
After some further remarks touching
the question of condemnation proceed
ings by Messrs. Wedge and Somers, on
motion it was decided that the alder
men of the ward be instructed to move
at the next meeting of the common
full report concerning the question of
land condemned for levee purposes.
! A vote of thanks was rendered Capt.
Starkey for his able paper on the levee
question.
q The question of the Sixth ward park
| was made a special order of business for
the next meeting of the union.

"Our sole reason for taking off the
cable cars for the past day or So" said
Manager p. f. Barr, twas to make some
necessary alterations and improvements
in the machinery at the power house
and to institute thorough and care
full examination of the cable before
again putting on passenger coaches with
the grip cars. Some portions of the
machinery had to be ordered from ST.
Louis, and it is not likely that they will
reach us before Saturday afternoon,
but we expect to have every
thing in running order by Monday
at the farthest. Meanwhile we
are preparing against a repeti-
ton OF accident by adding wedge brakes
to the passenger coaches, placing them
in front of the hind wheels. They are
protected with rubber and when forced
against the wheels absolutely prevent
revolution, and added to the grip it will,
we claim, be impossible for Il car to slide
forward Il foot, no matter OH what grade
the experiment may be tried"
Not strand of wire has started in
the entire length of the cable, every
foot of which has been tested, and the
cause of the recent disasters as much
mystery to us as ever.
Under new system that we will in
troduce electric signals will be dis
played at the corner of each street along
the route, and in case OF accident the
