FRANKLIN STREET BRIDGE.
II VIII Likely Not He Finished TIL
Next Ycnr

The brick pier for the south abutment
Of the Franklin street bridge Is nearing
completion and will likely be finished
some time next week. but from all ap-
pearances this pier will have a splendid
opportunity to settle before the super
structure is put upon 1t.
This pier Is being built under a separ-
ate contract from that for the construc-
tlon OF the bridge proper the work being
done by firm of local contractors.
The contract for the bridge proper and
the cylindrical piers upon which the other
end OF the bridge will rest upon the OPP
poste side of the bayou, was let to the
Indiana Bridge company and under the
terms OF tho contract the bridge should
have been completed and open for travel
long before this.
The delay has been in securing the steel
work All the steel mills in the country
are over-run with orders and the price OF
steel has gone up 30 per cent since the
city made the contract with the Indiana
Bridge company hence the city, when
the bridge Is completed, will get n much
cheaper bridge than would have been the
case had the letting of the contract been
delayed and at the same time the Indiana
Bridge company is likely to lose consider
able money on tho Houston contract
The order for the steel work was placed
with the Carnegie Steel works and that
company has advised that the order can
not be filled before December, and that
being the case the bridge will not be
completed before next year.
