THIS BRIDGE. --Souneings are now be
ins made in the Willamette for the big
bridge, aud with be completed IN few
DAYS. Mr. Stewards report will probably
b. presented at the next meeting OF the
Council, aud will be watched with great
Interest, as h II, besides giviag his plans
and maps OF the different locations tor II.
he will make hls recommendation as to the
best and most feasible point for the bridge,
This of course he tetuses 10 disclose at the
pfescnttimc. The D6MocRAr stated that
the approach on this side would probably
have TO reach to Second Street. II now
transpires that this will not be necessary,
aud II can end north of First Street. The
height of the greatest bridge will ncecssa-
rily be about 70 feet above low water
mark. The south approach will be easily
construstsd; bat the north Que will have
to be a long one, as II Is just mile from
First Stree. to the first land completely
above high water, whi:h il will PROBABLY
be impraclioable TO rcaeh,as the cost would
oe too great. AS7s,ooo bridge may be
counted on.
