BLAIR FRIDGE VALUED AT
Sl,f27.O9O
County Beard and Company
Argue Over Bridge Valuation

The Board of Supervisors of
Washington County, Nebraska,
and the Chicago & North
Western Company are just at
present engaged in a lively dis
cussion, the bone of contention
being the valuation of the
Nebraska end of the big bridge
crossing the Missouri river at
Blair.
When the assessor for the
Nebraska township made his
returns it was found he had
given the Nebraska end of the
big bridge a valuation of $780,
600, but the county board meet
ing as a board Of equalization
raised the assessment to $780,
900.
The arguments pro and con
regarding the increase or de-
crease in the assessment have
brought out many facts regard
ing the actual value of the big
structure. The bridge itself
cost $433, 346, the substructure
costing S226,S21 and the super
structure $2O6,525. The APP
breaches to the bridge cost
$3.50, 700, protection against the
river, $401, 700; tracks, S46, 989;
buildings and tools used in CON
s.ruction, SIS, 166, engineering,
$27,O51. All items included
give the bridge a cost valuation
of 81, l27,090.
In presenting their argu-
ments the Company states the
value of steel has deprecated
greatly since the bridge was
built and today they could
build the entire bridge for
100000.
They also stated the entire
bridge will have to be rebuilt
within the next ten years be-
cause of the increased weight
of the new engines now used
on that division.

fAOlS ANU f1UUteES
REGARDING RAILROADS
Interstate Commerce Commission
Repcrt Contains Many Inter.
estlng Facts.
The Daily Times has just re-
ceived direct from Washington,
D. c., an abstract of the report
of the Interstate Commerce
Commission sent by Jess ID.
| Newton, a former Missouri
Valley boy now connected with
that department.
During the year 1902 the
total single track mileage oper-
atcd in this country amounted
to 202,47l miles. If this mile
age was to be stretched out
into strips there would
be enough to lay over sixty-five
strips clear across the United
States at its widest point from
east to west, not including
Alaska. During the year 2,037
railway corporations carried on
business. 41,2SS locomotives
were necessary to carry on the
business Of all the roads, 1O,318
being used in the passenger
service, 23,594 in the freight
service and 6,683 in the switch
ing service. A total of $780,
22O cars was used in carrying
on the business OF the roads in
1902. To operate 1000 miles Of
road FOG locomotives and 8,l95
cars were necessary. 1,189,315
men were employed, an aver
age of 594 men to every 100
miles operated. Of this num-
Der 4S,5lS were engineers, 3d.
651 were firemen, 5000 were
conductors. The aggregate of
4
the salaries paid railroad en-
ployes was S676,02S,592 for the
year 1902. This sum exceeds
the salaries paid in 1901 by
$65, 314,89l. During 1902, G49-
878,5O5 people chad a ride on
the cars" The total tons
of freight transported was
,20O,315, 787.
During the twelve months
ending June Both, 1902, the
railroads of the country earned
ST. ,380,267. To earn this
sum the roads had to pay for
operating expenses 81, JIG, 248,-
TAT. AS the result of accidents
1920 people were either killed
or injured during the year, the
total number killed being 1888.
OF this number 345 were pas
sengers.
The time is near at hand
when residents on the streets
running north and south will
have to consider seriously the
necessity for cutting out a
number of trees along the park
lines so that the sun can get a
chance to dry up the street.
In many places about town the
trees almost touch overhead,
and the consequence on north
and south streets is that after
a heavy rain or continued wet
weather it is impossible to get
them dry enough for convenient
travel. Streets that were ex-
posed to the sun dried up al
most Immediately after the wet
spell ceased. Where the trees
shade the streets the direction
we speak of, the road is still in
bad condition though there has
been no rain for ten days.

DR.. Engleman tells us that the
birthrate has been decreased
throughout the civilized world
slowly in the Old World, but
with great rapidity in the new.
He says, Family shrinkage
seems clearly referable to the
strenuous nerve racking life of
the day, to the struggle not for
existence, but for a luxurious
existence, to the ever increasing
desire for the luxuries of life
and the morbid craving for So
cial designations and advance
ment."
