The west 3l4 feet of the L street viaduct,
which is considered an approach, is in
dangerous condition and should be repayed.
Only a short time ago the railroad com
pan!es completed the repairs to the bridge
proper. but the west approach was left for
the city TO repair. The work performed
by the railroads cost 81 ,S02 and at the time
this was being performed the city engineer
estimated that the city's part could be
placed in a first class condition by the
expenditure of 5000. There was some talk
of allowing the railroads TO go ahead and
complete the job, the city to pay for the
work done according to the estimates OF the
engineer. No action was taken, however,
and now that the bridge gang and the ma
terial have been removed it Is feared that
II will cost the city much more than was
asked by the railroads. Very likely the ap-
proach will be patched up enough to last
until August, when the 1899 levy will be
available for warrants. The numerous wash
outs in the streets have caused a drain on
the street repair funds, and as nearly all
of the other funds are about depleted the
money for the work will not be in sight
until the next levy is available,
