number of witnesses were subpoenaed
and the State occupied the entire day.

the afternoon session and the examina-

Owing to the non.arrival of Mr..
Jutte, the chief promoter of the pro-
posed bridge across the Ohio the matter
of the necessary franchise was not
brought before Council Tuesday eve
ming. Engineer Felkel is still in the
city and has practically completed all
the preliminary surveys. He is un-
qualifedly in favor of the route via
Butler and Post streets, which is the
most practical and economical of any
yet proposed. He states that bridge
with the Ohio terminus at Fifth street,
as has been suggested, would have to
be 600 feet longer than the one project
ed by way of Post street and would be
vastly more expensive. Mr.. Felkel is
working quietly and earnestly in the
interest of the project. He clings
tenacously to the steam railroad fea-
ture and is apparently meeting with
considerable encouragement in rail
road circles.
