OF the Bridge and the Mayors office efforts are
being put forth 10 find any trustworthy data which
may be in existence bearing upon the cost OF the
undertaking. The head of one Of the principal city
departments. when asked for his opinion on the
subject remarked
ct would unquestonably be a splendid thing for
the city provided II did not cost too much have
not given the matter any special attention, but 1t
seems TO that that section OF the city has I'M
proved rather less than any other in the last dozen
years / have official Information on the sub
feet, but II Is easy for any one who uses his eyes
to see that the old buildings. most Of them
comparatively cheap and some Of them tumble
down, are still there. SO II would seem as II the
improvement would cost more now than when
II was advocated by Mayor Low. Whether the city
is in position TO undertake 1t now l am not pre-
pared 10 say, but that 1t IS good thing in itself
