GOVERNMENT MAY GET
CONTROL OF BRIDGE
Owners of Structure Across MiSSiS.
sippi Violate Charter.

Secretary Root will give the Mer-
chants Bridge Company an opportunity
TO show cause why the Merchants
Bridge across the Mississippi at 81.
Louis should not be confiscated by the
Government on account OF violation If
its charter.
The Merchants Bridge Company was
granted a charter by the United States
on condition that the bridge was never
to be controlled by the owners OF Eads
Bridge, the only other bridge across
the Mississippi. The Eads Bridge own
ers also controlled the ferry systems and
had a complete monopoly of business
when the Government assisted in erect
ing the rival bridge.
Complaint came to the War Depart
ment sSveral weeks ago that the Mer-
chants Bridge had doubtless passed into
the control of the Terminal Association,
in violation OF the charter Major Thomas
L. Casey, the engineer officer at s..
Louis. was requested to Investigate the
complaint and submitted q report which
showed that the Terminal Association
doubtless has control of the bridge.
A statement recently sent out by ].
p. Morgan & Co. asking for subscriptions
to a new bond issue of the Terminal As
sociation makes IL clear that the asso-
citation derives much OF its income from
the Merchants Bridge. and that no other
bridge will be erected TO compete with
those now existing.
