IMPROVING A BRIDGE.

The board of county commissioners
seems to be doing all in its power to get a
new floor on the Douglas avenue bridge.
Some months ago the city council was in
formed that the bridge was unsafe and a
committee was appointed to investigate,
assisted by the city engineer. 1t was re
ported to the council that the bearings
were not defective and the piers ali right
but new floor IMPERATIVE. The report
was given the board Of county commits
sioners, and they seem to have caught on
TO the idea also that it would be much bet
ter to have new floor.
1t is intended to put a large force at
work, if it is necessary to stop travel, SO
the delay will be abbreviated. Ii is

WICHITA, January l., 1888.

Editor of the Eagle:
In the EAGLE this morning Is an article
referring To the land on the west OF the
school house lot on North Lawrence av-
enue. There are some mistakes in it |
wish to correct. The lot is pa feet long
north and south, and there is no alley at
all on the west of it. If one were opened.
there would be a space of twelve feet wide
between it and the school property After
reading in the EAGLE of January that
the school board were considering the
matter of condemning this land, | offered
to open an alley fifteen feet wide and 304
feet long, reaching to Sixteenth street, and
TO sell the 12x264 feet strip for $780,
l can. and intend to utilize this ground.
1t would give me a valuable twenty-seyen
feet front on Sixteenth street, besides Civ
ing twenty feet extra depth each to
eight lots on Market street The school
house .ot was condemned in 1877, the land
belonging to my wife at the time, and was
appraised at $50, and that Is all we ever re-
ceived for it. Now if the new school house
increases the value of the land that is left.
do not think owe anything for it.
