CLAIM BRIDGE is MENACE.
Seattle & international Asks Per-
mission to Remove Overhead
structure on University site.

The Seattle & International Railway
Company yesterday filed with the board
of public works a petition asking that
it be allowed to remove the overhead
highway bridge across the railway line OF
that company at the point in the grounds
of the University Of Washington where
it is crossed by the road running north
from the portage"
In the petition 1t is stated that the
bridge Is old and unit for use and Is en-
tirely closed to travel, and that its pres
ence is a menace both to the railway
company and to the general public. The
company not only offers 10 remove the
bridge, but also to construct another in
its place If deemed necessary.
No action was taken upon the petition
yesterday, as the board failed to reach
that part of the accumulated business.

addressed a letter TO the corporation
counsel asking for an opinion on the au-
thority of the board to modify the ex-
tent of an Improvement ordered by the
council BY letting a contract for only
portion of the work provided for In the
original ordinance. This question has sew

Improvements and has regularly been de-

and sidewalking OF Twenty-third avenue

found that the lowest, that of Normile q
Bell, for 1882. was 81 ,3o2 In excess OF the
charter limit of taxation. This made IL
