BUILT THE BRIDGE RIGHT.
A. e. shorthill Company Receives Mon
ey After Work Had Been Questioned


A Marshalltown firm has won out on
an extensive contract at Sioux City,
after the work had been questioned
because property owners claimed it was
not according to to specifications. The
A. e. Shorthill Company built the
bridge at Sioux City last summer. and
the money, which has just been ordered
paid, was held up until the city engin-
eer could investigate. The latter found
the bridge according to specifications,
and warrant for the money was inn
mediately drawn.
The Sioux City Journal says Of the
case:
.'City Auditor True has issued to the
A. e. Shorthill Company of MARSHALL
town, Iowa, the warrant for little
less than $4,000 in payment of the
bridge built last summer over Perry
creek just east of the plant of the
Sioux City Brewing Company. Upon
the allegation of "A number of property
owners in the vicinity. that the bridge
was Improperly constructed, Alderman
William Maxeimer asked the aduitor
to withhold payment until the city en-
gineer had insured the auditor that the
bridge was built according to the spec
ifications and that the settling of the
structure was common to all bridges"
