BRIDGE ON RAYMOND AVENUE.
Estimates for IL Structure Over
Northern Pacific Tracks.

- AAAlteS fOT ~ structure OFeF
Northern Pacific Tracks.
The board of public works yesterday
had before them plans of the city
engineer for a bridge over the Northern
Pacific, Great Northern and Minnesota
Transfer tracks at Raymond avenue.
CITY Engineer Rundlett prepared two
plans n estimates for the proposed
structure. The first provides for a
bridge AZ feet wide, with a roadway of
28 feet n sidewalk Z feet wide
ON each side of the roadway. The
roadway is to be paved with aspl alt
on a buckle plate floor n mason. y
abutments and piers. The total cost
of his structure is estimated at $56. 90,
of which amount the Northern Pacific
o should pay $4,000; the Mime
sofa Transfer company, $1,310, and the
city $39, $50. Provision has been made
In the last two tax estimates for $27, 800
of the amount to be paid from the
general fund. which leaves $12, 100 to be
paid by assessment on the property
benefited. The first estimate and
plans are in accordance with the re-
port of the common council.
The second estimate submitted by
the city engineer provides for a bridge
Al feet wide, 24-foot roadway, with
sidewalks 6 feet wide on each side
of the bridge. The roadway to be
paved with brick on a wooden plank
floor on iron stringers; sidewalks
wooden plank floor on wooden stringers.
The estimated cost Of this structure
would be $685. 900, of which amount the
Northern Pacific and Minnesota Trans
fer company would pay $12, 715 and the
city $25,2S5, which amount would come
within the appropriation from the
general fund and require no assess
ment on the surrounding property.
The city engineer also advised the
beard that the two railroad companies
mentioned would be obliged to pay their
proportion of the cost of the structure
as there was a 30-foot roadway dedi-
Gated to h public on the line of Ray
mOnd avenue before they purchased
however, refused to contribute on the
ground that they had a contract for
the land previous to their purchase
and dedication to the city for the
street The corporation attorney, the
city engineer stated, advised the going
ahead with the bridge and suing the
company for their share of the cost.
Mr.. Quinby favored h plan calling
for a bridge to cost $3S, 900. This struc-
ture, in his opinion, would be sufficient
to accommodate all the travel and would
save any assessment On property.
President German took a different view
and said the property were
willing to stand a ST., 600 assessment
in order to have a bridge with a Is
foot roadway. There was, he argued,
no need of building a narrow bridge
at this point. 1t was the only place be-
tween Smelling avenue n the city
line of Minneapolis where it was pos
sible to construct a bridge, and for his
reason a wide structure should be
built. The board decided to adjourn
the matter to Feb. Is at 8 O'Clock. AT
this time the board will grant a hearing
to property owners in st. Anthony
park on the question Of which plan
should be adopted.

THE HOUSE.
Prof. William Windsor Gives u
Complimentary Exhibition.

Prof. William Windsor, the phrenoIogist,
gave a complimentary exhibition Of his powers
of reading human characteristics by the cor
tour of the head last night in the hall of
representatives before an audience which filled
the big hall very comfortably. Armed with
charts illustrating the different bumps and
their significance, Prof. Windsor spoke enter
tainingly for an hour or two.
For a subject the professor selected Hon.
S. j. Abbott. member Of the house from
Faribault county. Mr.. Abbott is a courtly.
scholarly looking gentleman closely resemb-
ling the traditional Kentucky colonel with his
long flowing hair and gcatee. With no hest
tation he permitted himself to be used as A
subject. He had the pleasure Of being told
he was prudent, sagacious, designed to be q
leader OF men, possessed Of conscientious judg-
ment. and remarkably well supplied with
friendship.
Representative Louis A. Toss, also g member
of the house. who happened 10 be present,
asked sm2rtly If the professor knew what line
of business Mr.. Abbott followed. The pro-
fessor replied no, and further admitted that.
II he were to visit the university, he could
not tell what studies the pupils were pur-
suing. He could tell, though. what Mr.. Alb
bolt ought to be engaged in. and that was
law. (Mr. Abbott is a lawyer. He should.
judgment was ripe and his ability at its best.
A good talker, strong in the willingness TO de-
fend a principle or a woman or his home
from attack, he should for the increasing OF
his happiness, the promotion OF his health and
the betterment of his financial condition.
take as a partner a man with blue eyes. light
hair, a broader head than his own, and a
man whose conscientiousness is not SO well
developed, but who is more aggressive.
