Completed and President Lynn locked

The matter of needed renairs to
Washington street bridge was taken IN
aud brought out somewhat lengthy
DISCUSSION. Commissioner Chandler
moved that the Amer lean Bridge Co.
be authorized to overhaul the bridge.
Mr.. Megginson asked whether the Will
miugton CITY Railway Co. ought not
10 Jay some OF the expense. Preside nJ
Lynn said the court would have to
repair the bridge.
Mr. Willitts argued that the neoes-
sity was not imminent and that it
would be well to get more information
M the subject than the court had. He
drew attention to the requirement that
for work costing more than $500 bids
should be- secured and formal con :
tlact made. He understood that an
engineer for the City Railway had said
the bridge was strong enough TO bear
trolley CARS.
Mr.. Chandler thought the repairs
were needed and there should To no
delay. As to the s5G0 requirement, ho
would favor the securing Of estimates
II it was for new bridge, but as II
was for repairs he favored going ahead.
lie did not think 1t would amount to
$500, but suggested that 1t was work
that would have tn be done by the day.
In reply to Mr.. Wilitts, Mr.. Chandler
admitted that he did not know Just
what was needle at the bridge, and
Mr.. Willitts said he would like Mr..
Turner to inspect the bridge again and
report 60 the court. He thought this
better than giving the company carte

President Lynn saw no use in wait.
ing II estimates of the expense were
TO be made the court would have to ray
man to do it.
Mr.. Willitts moved that Mr.. Turner
be requested 10 examine the bridge
and state to the court at It's next meet.
ing the necessary changes to be made
and il he saw fit, to state the costs OIL
the same.
MIR. Lynn said Mr.. Turner had
already examined the structure and RS
ported.
Mr.. Turner said that to make de
tailed report on the bridge would talk,
about months work. He suggested
the advisability Of, having an engineer
go over the structure and see as to thu
strength Of the fluor beams for carry ins
the weight OF trolley cars.
Mr.. Willitts asked Mr.. Turner il thu
repairs would cost 300. He would no
say, but afterwards Expressed thu
opinion that to Fix all the floor hesml
would cost $500. His company woulC
take the work on time and stock ar
rangement, but it would be practically
impossible to estimate on II.
Mr.. Lynn remarked that an. inspec
ton might cost $500, and it would h
better to go ahead without it as repair
might cost only that amount
Mr. Willitt's motion was defeated
Mr.. Chandler's motion to authorize tn
American Bridge %. to 90 ahead wa
carried. In case any large necessity /
discovered, the company is to report t
