TIE committee on roads and bridges
and aldermen of the Eighth and Ihir-
teenth wares reported on the matter Of
building a bridge over the Milwaukee
and 81. Louis tracks at West Lake
street. The committee reported that
the street WAS an important thorough
fare and the crossings dangerous. The
railroad companies had agreed to pay
Sl.475 toward building the bridge:
the Minneapolis Land and Invest
ment company 500. and the county
was willing TO stand one-half the re-
naming expense With the city. The
committee recommended that under
these circumstances the bridge be built.
The report was adopted ana referred TO
the committee on ways and means 10
report back at the next council meeting.
The bridge will be $50 feet IN length:
have thirty-siX-foOt roadway and cost
S, 100. It's erection means a great deal
for the farmers III the western part of
the county. who will be given 4 splendid
entrance into the city.
President Goodrich. OF the street
railway company. presented commu-
nlcation asking that the order Tor the
extension OF the Penn avenue line
from Ihlrtleth avenve 10 Thirty-fOurth
avenue north. passed at a recent meet
ing be referred 10 the railroad commit
tee Tor further investigation. This COM
munlcluon caused considerable discus
sion. for many OF the aldermen thought
the street railway company had already
been deIelict and should fulfill its con
tract with the city. The council had
already ordered the extension 20 be
built. and it was therefore beyond any
further action. The matter. however.
was referred TO the railroad committed
and the alderman OF the Tenth ward.
