Green Bay. Wis, April n.-As a result of
gross laundering on the part OF three, engineers
for the North Western road, the new bridge

extension, will have to- be rebuilt at heavy cost
The bridge originally cost $3.50, 900 and was
built by Greiling Brothers of this city, to whom
no blame Is attached. - y
The necessity of rebuilding is because of lay
ers of quicksand in the river bottom. Nine of
the seventeen large piers will be replaced one
having fallen over and two being out Of plumb.
Thousands of feet of piling will have to he
driven to prop these up - IS > .t--t ! 90
