A BRIDGE TRUST.
Combination of the Leading Manu-
facturers an Assured Fact

New York. Sept. 15.-The Times says:
All the details so far as the manufac-
turers are concerned have been settled
and the American Bridge company,
otherwise the bridge combination is an
assured fact. The financiering will be
arranged by the J. w. Seligman & Co,
and the next week a meeting will be

the combination the actual past earn

been thirteen per cent and this will
guarantee an actual profit on the COM
mon stock from the start.

FLYNN BEGINS WORK.
Borings Started Yesterday
On the Rockaway for
the Dam.

Contractor p. HI. Flynn, who will supply
Jersey City with pure water two years
hence began yesterday with active oper-
vicinity of Boonton, n j., where the new
reservoir is to be located. Engineers and
surveyors are busy making borings and
surveys for the dam, which is to form the
south side of the inner reservoir. In a
few months, if no oertiorari proceedings
are instituted to test the validity of the
contract, about 1900 men are likely to be
employed at different points along the
route.
The water works are to be ready in two
years. Jersey City will appoint a special
engineer to supervise the construction
work on behalf of the city, and see to it
that the specifications are adhered to in
every particular. Garwood Ferris is talked
of for this position.
Mayor Hoos has received no information
as yet that certiorari proceedings have
been Instituted. The Mayor is beginning
to believe that no SUITS will be inaugural
ed. 1t would please His Honor to have
a test case made, as such a course would
result in all the salient features of the
contract being brought out for the bene-
fit of the public
The Mayor is satisfied that property
owners will agree with him that every
ply protect the city.
So far as possible pollution is concerned
the Mayor entertains absolutely no fear.
The Mayor is to be notified by Contrac-
tor Flynn as soon as,active operations are
begun
