TERRE HAUTE. Ind, June 1s-The
County Council to-day appropriated $4,000.
in addition to the s175.Mo already a%ppropri-
ated. for the bridge over the Wabash at
the foot of Main street. This was because
the lowest bid called for that much more
than the bridge was expected to cost at the
time the appropriation was made. When the
project for a new bridge was first taken up
the general idea was that IL would cost
s125.ooo. There was really no competition In
the bidding. as only bids coming near the
lowest were by companies as well known
to be in the bridge trust as the lowest bid
der. The county had no competition in the
plans.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. June 1S.-The Lafay-
cite Engineering Company to-day secured
the contract for erecting a mammoth steel

the bridge is TO be $71 200. and President
