Mr.. Russell could not answer the
question.
Mr.. n. B. Scott said that as manu-
iaCturer he desired the Baltimore "
Ohio 10 have chance to relieve the
I freight blockade, which embarrassed
every manufacturer.
Councilman Ilarrell jumped on the
Baltimore 4 Ohio and kicked it around
the chamber, finally being taken to ac-
count by four gentlemen for misrcpre-

Mr.. Walter Bell thought the i. d o.

tory understanding.
Mr.. Hart moved as an amendment
that Council should grant the B. \ 0.

thing. The resolution was merely to

Mr.. Henry Baer thought the Chamber

THE MAIN STREET BRIDGE.
Putting up tIroTsmpornry Structure AEaIl

JhHNONhDly Delhycus
The putting up Of temporary bridge
across the creek at Main street to take
the place of the old stone bridge swept
away by the August flood till that struc-
ture shall De replaced by another stone
bridge, has again been unavoidably de-
layed. The Board OF Public Works met
last evening for the special purpose OF
opening bids for the erection of the
bridge. There was but one bid to be
opened. 1t was from the firm OF Miller
Bros. & Co., by Mr.. d. W. Fischer, OF
Parkersburg, its Secretary. There were
several features about the bid that were
Objectionable to the Board, and all that
remained to be done was to again adver-
tise for bids, which wasprdered. There
has been appropriated for this tempo
rary bridge the sum OF 5000 and the
city is in such SHAPE financially, that
that sum cannot be very well exceeded.
Mr.. Kennedy, who made the plans for
the bridge, is OF the opinion that an
iron bridge few feet narrower than it is
proposed to make the wooden bridge
could be had for $500, leaving Sl,50O
for the abutmeRtS and piers. The
Board, however, having decided to
put up n wooden bridge and having
advertised Tor proposals for the same,
deemed that ii would be unwise to make
any change, and will go ahead with it,
provided the bids come in; the pros
pect for bids, however, is not particu-
Iarly brilliant one.
The Board transacted some routine
business before adjourning. The Board
OF Police and Fire Commissioners met,
but transacted nothing but routine BUSH
