PLANS FOR WIDENING
WABASHA ST. BRIDGE
CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT
PREPARES AN ESTIMATE
1t Can BE Done for $50, 900 Less
Than the Former Figures Called
FOr-HOw the Work Can Be
Started.

A. w. Munster, bridge engineer Of
the city engineering department, has
prepared for the conference committee
an estimate for the widening of the
south end of the Wabasha street
bridge. According to the estimate it
will cost $4,000, and the work will
take about a year from the time 1t is
started
A year ago an estimate for widening
the structure was made and at that
time the figures were $1,000 and Of
this sum $4,000 was placed in the tax
estimate for 1888 Since then the engf-
neering department has decided that
by shortening the bridge proper about
300 feet and using fill to the harbor
line something like $4,000 can be Topped
off its estimate Of & year ago.
The last estimate includes the ex-
pense of erecting a temporary struct-
structed, so that travel win not be
stopped.
The plan for the new bridge provides
for a roadway thirty-six feet wide in
place of the present eighteen-foot road
way, and two sidewalks ten feet wide.
instead Of the seven-foot walks now
used
The only question concerning the
widening of the bridge next year is that
of funds. There is now $4,000, which
was set apart in the tax estimate for
1898 and those interested in the work
being pushed argue that If the Broad
way bridge is not to be built the SGT 900
now in that fund could be applied to
the Wabasha street structure
Engineer Munster says as soon as the
question of funds is settled it will be
an easy matter to prepare plans, and.
if necessary, bids can be advertised for.
so that the work can be commenced
next April.

DENIES ANY COMBINATION.
Grand Trunk Official Explains the
Great Western UnderstandfnE.

1t is hoped BY passenger men that the con-
ference IN Chicago today between passenger
representatives of the st. Paul-Chicago Iinea
and the roads in the Central Passenger as
ISOLATION territory may result in some tangible
solution Of the present rate difficulties. In
less satisfactory agreement is reached there
will undoubtedly be a war in which rates
will slide down TO the bottom as BEFORE.
The Grand Trunk, Chicago Great Western
and White Star line deal IS causing no little
anxiety, for. in spite of denials. Il looks like
a combination against the ST. Paul Chicago
lines ard the Canadian Pacific well. As
slstant Passenger AgeT Hughes, Of the Grand
Trunk, was in the city yesterday and he as
sured inquirers that the new deal meant no
combination Of any sort. but that # was
simply convenient arrangement between the
three interests to secure railway and steam
snip business without coming into conflict
with the steamship conference rules.

Hughes. 10 q reporter for The @ l 0 b g. is

ment he is a railway agent and the next he
Is a steamship agent. but never both at ths

prohibition against paying commissions.
