ICE THREATENS TWO BRIDGES
Gorges Endangcr structures at Elk
City and valley Over EIkhorn
and Platte.

The county commissioners held meet
ing of the committee of the whole Friday
morning TO consider the condition of the
bridges across the Elkhorn at Elk City
and across the Platte at Valley. Both of
them are said to be in danger on account
of threatened ice gorges. County Engineer
Beal has decided to use dynamite to break
away the ice under the structures in the
hope the ice foes which are said TO be
coming down stream will not gorge at the
bridges. 1t was reported part of the
bridge over the Platte at Fremont had
been carried away and the lowlands were
being inundated. owing to a jam which
damned the river
The bridge at Elll City is said to be in a
precarious condition, owing to the fact it is
undergoing repairs and is resting on tenn
porary piling. The Standard Bridge com
pany is replacing one of the piers. The
contract for the work was let last fall
but the company did not begin operations
until after the work should have been
finished. according to the contract. The
bond was given to cover only the cost of
the repair work and not the value of the
bridge, which is steel structure and
worth probably $1,000. The board is in
doubt as to the effect of its allowing tn,
, work to be begun after the time specified
bond would he good under those circum-
stances. In case the bridge goes out the
county might hold the bridge company re-
sponsible FOR damages sustained. re-
| port from Elk City Friday morning was

being driven. The ice had not begun TO
