vIADUCT NOW SAFE
Temporarily Repaired by Govern
ment and Heavy Traffic
Resumed.
BIG GREEN CARS PUT ON
Restrictions on Travel Between This
City and Davenport Re-
moved.

Il The Twenty-fourth street viaduct has
been temporarily repaired by the gov
eminent and the embargo on heavy
traffic was lifted today. Use of the big
Railway company at noon Heavy
teaming will from this time on go on
uninterrupted.
The following letter in this connec-
ton was received today from Com
mandant Blunt:
Rock Island Arsenal Ill,
Oct. 2, 1906.
Editor Argus: Last June, in con-
, sequence of the weakened condition of
the viaduct which forms part of the
bridge from this arsenal to the city of
Rock Island, | was compelled to re-
quire the Tri-City Railway company to
Withdraw its heavy cars and to operate
only light cars across the bridge.
l was also compelled to exclude
from the bridge all wagons hauling
[ loads of more than two tons.
The viaduct has now been so far
strengthened as to permit recall of in
structions issued last June. and | have
consequently advised the Tri-City Rail
way company that they resume run
ming their larger cars. and have also in
formed firms whose heavy loads were
excluded from the bridge that they may
now resume ordinary traffic
The necessary false work TO sustain
the viaduct will remain in position I'M
til removed. probably next spring, when
the reconstruction of another bridge is
actively undertaken.
Respectfully,
IS. E. BLUNT.
Colonel, Ordnance Department, u. S.
a, Commanding
Braccd With Timbers.
The viaduct has been braced with
heavy timbers. To do this it has been
necessary to remove the railway tracks
to the center The work was all done
by the government. the city partici-
pating only to the extent of giving per-
mission for the changes in the tracks.
The public will appreciate the re-
sumption of the former efficient service
across the bridges BY the street rail
way company. Manager J. f. Lardner
stated today that the big cars will be
kept on the line exclusively from now
on. While the repairs on the yiaduct
have been in progress they have been
used TO fill in as extras on various
lines
