1t is to be hoped that the city can
find some way OF making the Broad
way bridge safe for travel at a rea-
sonable expenditure of money. 1t
would be practically impossible for
the city, in it's present financial con-
dition, to construct a new bridge,
and the present one may probably
be used until certain city litigation
over the water and light business is
settled. If the water and electric
bonds voted last year are legal oh.
legations, the city could not issue
any more bonds at present. Then If
the water and light contracts are
sustained by the courts, it might not
be considered advisable to use the
bonds for the purposes for which
they were voted.

BRIDGE QUESTIONS CONSIDERED
Council Accepts Pine Tree Company's
Proposition on Upper Bridge-Mayor's
Message on Broadway Structure.

The city councils meeting Tuesday
evening was devoted almost entirely
to the consideration of matters per-
tanning to the city bridges.
llIt seems that the resolution passed
by thefcouncil in the police question
Monday evening was not sufficiently
explicit on some points to suit the
mayor and new one was subst1-
tuted. The first resolution by mis-
take read that the two patrolmen
receive $50 per month for there main
der of the year, but in case OF the
salary OF the chief the words "per
MONTH were omitted, and might
have been construed to cover all OF
the five remaining months OF his
term. The new resolution covered
that point, and was signed by his
honor.
The proposition OF the Pine Tree
Lumber company, made through its
attorney, C. A. Lindbergh, In the
matter of the acceptance by the
council of the wagon bridge in north
end of the city was taken up: The
contract between the city and the
council made when the bridge was
built five years ago, was dug up and
read. Some of the counci]men were
under the impression that the bridge
was still to be accepted by the coun'
Gil, and that it was to be turned
over at the end OF five years in good
repair. The bridge had been nc
cepted by the council at the time OF
it's completion, and the contract
read that the company was to keep
the bridge in good passable condi'
ton five years. The company claims
that it has complied with this part
of the contract, and If required to
put on a new floor and do other re-
pair work at this time, it would
mean a great extension OF the time
OF the maintainance Of the bridge by
the company, and something moi
contemplated or agreed to by the
contract.
At the time the company's term Of
five years elapsed it made q PROPOSE
ton to repaint the bridge and In ad
dition give 800 toward any other
repairs needed. The council then re-
fused to accept the bridge and took
no action on the company's proposf
ton. Attorney Lindbergh explained
that the council was not given an In
definite period to accept the PROPOSE
Little Falls weekly transcript. (Little Falls, Morrison Co., Minn.) 1894-19??, 1899-11-24

ton then made, and in the COM
pany's present proposition 1t had
withdrawn the offer to repaint the
bridge, but would give $40 to the
city to assist in making any neces-
sary repairs on she bridge.
City Attorney Trebby explained
that under the contract there was
but little chance to compel the COM
pany to do anything further than it
had already done, go a motion was
made that the company's offer be &C.
copied and it passed unanimously.
The following message from the
mayor in reference to the Broadway
bridge was read:
LITTLE FALLS, MIMI, Nov. p, 1899.
To THE COUNCIL:
Gentlemen-I desire to call the at
tention OF the council to the con-
dition of the bridge across the
Mississippi river in this city, known
as the Broadway wagon bridge.
According to the testimony OF G. F.
Loweth, the engineer who testified
for the city in the Electric & Water
company suits, the bridge is unsafe
for unrestricted traffic. Mr..
Loweth's language is as follows;
"The bridge is. in my opinion, un
safe at the present time for an unre-
stricted traffic, and it could be safely
maintained for a year, possibly, II In
the meantime the traffic over the
bridge is restricted, both as to speed
and to weight" Mr.. Loweth
further testified that a combination
bridge like the Broadway bridge
should last. with the traffic expected
at the time of It's construction, six.
teen or eighteen years. The bridge
was built about seventeen years ago.
With the growth of the city and
county the traffic has greatly in
creased, and within a short time, az
soon as the new railroad yards on
the West side are occupied, Will be
more than doubled. Mr.. Loweth
says that he found on examination
of the bridge that the woodwork
portion was very much decayed
some parts SO that there was less
than so per cent of sound materta,
left, and on the whole, sufficiently
decayed to endanger the safety VI
the structure.
With this condition Of affairs, it ie
necessary for the city to consider the
question of repairing the bridge, OF
building a new one. While unques
tionably most citizens would be glac
to see a fine bridge, worthy OF thu
city, spanning the Mississippi from
Broadway to Broadway, the cost o.
such a structure would be too great
for the present financial resources o

the city. 1t is estimated that q
bridge sufficient for the purpose,
would cost at least $35, 600; perhaps
more. Even with large aid from, the
county and from the railroad COM
pany, the cost remaining for the city
to pay would be SO large as 10 re-

In other directions. A new bridge
which would so increase the total
indeb tedness as to make itimpOssible
for a long time to realize municipal

certainly I've the costliest investment
ever made by the city. The building
OF a new bridge at this time could
only be a reasonable proposition on
proof that a new structure Is absO-
lutely necessary, or that repair OF the
old structure would be fmpracticable.
1t has been estimated that the bridge
can be retimbered for about $4,000.
Under bids, by which the contract
for the work would have to be let,
the amount would probably be re-
duced. 1t Is likely, also, that Nor
rison county would contribute to-
ward the cost. II, as it Ia claimed,
such retimbering would practically
renew the bridge for many years,
and thus postpone the building OF a
new bridge until such time as the
city would be in better financial con
dition, the matter deserves earnest
consideration by the council.
would recommend that the
council take measures to ascertain
whether it is practicable to repair
the present bridge at comparatively
low cost, also how long such repairs
would prolong the life OF the bridge.
CHAs. E. VAsALY.
Mayor,
After discussing at considerable
length the condition OF the Broad
way bridge, a motion was made
and carried that the council post
notices on the bridge that it's con-
dition is unsafe, and thereby relieve
the city OF responsibility should any
damage by accident occur.
Another motion was made and
carried that the council examine the
bridge in body at 2 p. m. today,
and to have Engineer Goodrich, of
the Northern Pacific, also examine
the bridge to see what can be done
| with it.
Council adjourned.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the

effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
ciflc cures Oatarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
