pairs to the Washington street bridge.

whether the Wilmington City Railway

pe,se. President Lynn said the court
would hhve to repair the bridge.
| Mr. Willitts suggested. that it might
be well to get more information on the
subject. He drew attention to the re-
/ luirement that for work costing more
han $500 bids should be secured and
| 'oiinal contract made. He understood
hat an engineer for the City Railway
had said the bridge was strong enough
% bear the trolley cars. Mr.. Chandler
,hought there should be no delay. AS
| q the $500 requirement he would favor
| he securing of estimates if it was for
new bridge, hut as it was repairs, he
| uyored going ahead. He did not think
would amount to $500. 1t was work,
le said thai would have to be done by
the day.

Hits. admitted that he did not know just
what was needed at the bridge.

+ ner be requested to examine the bridge

! Turner had already examined the struc-
ure and made his report.

Failed report on the bridge would fake
