A COSTLY ROAD
The Baton Bouge-Lafayette Line
to Require Eight Steel Bridges.

Baton Rouge Times
The Southern Pacific road will
probably have eight steel draw
bridges to construct in the build
ing of it's line from Baton Rouge
to Lafayette. Seven of the draw
bridges are certain. The ques-
ton of the eighth is under con-
sideration; and it is probable that
it will have to be erected.
The navigable streams over
which the Southern Pacific will
have to erect draw bridges are
Bayou Teche, Lake Bejeau, the
Atchafalaya River, Bayou Desour,
West Bayou Des Glaizes, East
Bayou Des Glaizes, Bayou Gross
Tete. The eighth stream over
which it is possible that a draw
bridge will have to be erected is
Bayou Poulet. 1t will probably
be some time yet before it is
decided whether this eighth
bridge is necessary.
It is the construction of these
draw bridges that makes the
construction of the road very
costly and difficult. There will
be on this branch perhaps more
draw bridges for this short dis
lance than any other similar
short stretch of road in the
country.
