have been completed and Mr.. Beatty leaves TO-
morrow for his home in Ohio. The plans have
all been drawn the estimates made and the only

soon be introduced in Congress. Every effort
will be made to have 1t passed soon snd work
will begin Just as soon o. the bill becomes alaw
In conversation with Mr. Betty. this morning
he said that everything was In readiness, bnt
that the company did not care to take any risk
BY building any part Of the road before the

of time on the charter.
Mr.. Beaty will remain in Ohio until Congress
takes action on the bridge bill, when he will re
turn with all the necessary materials and
