WORK NEEDED0N BRIDGES
COUNCIL AND BOARD -oF
WORKS STILL DALLYlNG
OVER PLANS, WITH SHAkEY
STRUCTURES IN DAILY DAN
GER OF COLLAPSE.

AS several plans have been pre-
sented to the city Of the Howard
and Washington st. bridges which
do not seem to meet with the ap-
prevail of the board of public works
or the council, and as the Mission
av. bridge is in such a dangerous
condition that it may fall at any
time from the weight of the big
water main, City Engineer McIn-
tyre in a communication to the
board this afternoon asks that he
be authorized to make plans to be
submitted to competent engineer
for verification and changes thought
necessary, and work begun at once.
The engineer states further that all
city bridges are in such condi-
ton as to demand immediate &C.
ton, and that the most energetic
measures must be used.
He submits the following esti.
mates of the costs of the various
proposed new bridges, the first ever
published:
Washington st. N. channel, $46,-
712; Howard st. N. channel, $34,-
500; Howard st. s. channel and
wye bridges. $4,000; Mission av.
bridge, $59,404.
The engineer further staes that
1t matters not whether the work
be done by contract of day labor,
Just so 1t is done. His figures are
for reinforced concrete. Should
the board decide upon steel bridges,
he recommends that his office draw
the plans.
Mayor Moore this afternoon
stated that he was unequivocably in
favor of building all new bridges Of
concrete in place of steel Judging
from his remarks he will oppose
any effort of the board Of public
works or the council to build the
new structures of steel. He said
a New York man told him yester-
day that the Harlem bridge was
concrete and had stood 80 years
with but little maintenance ex.
pense. He figures that 1t has cost
the city $500 a year for the past 8
years to maintain the Monroe st..
bridge, and now, after IA years of
service, 1t must be pulled down. 1t
cost In the neighborhood OF $780,
600 in the first place, too. He says
concrete structure here wouldn't
cest so very much more and 1t
would last more than SO years, may
be hundred or more.

wholesaler and In this, as other
western cities, the wholesale gror
cry dealer let's the retailer run his
business. When the retail associar
ton tells him he cannot sell to q
certain party he obeys just az the
hardware dealers obey when the
plumbing trust pronounces sentence
against someone marked for re.
moval from business competitions
The statute books say this 10
against the law, but the cash aud
credit books say it isn't. The latter
have associations to enforce them,
The former lie dormant and escape
the attention of attorneys, judges
and juries. That's the difference.
What the restaurant men propose
to do IL the ban against wholesale
buying is continued is to order by
carload lots from the east. On the
volume of business they command,
big discount is procurable, and
the grocery trust will stand to lose
that much, for there are dealers
elsewhere that control their own
business and sell to whom they
please. uBt 1t will be necessary to
ship a considerable distance to do
business with them

dered a man year ago In Everett,

occurred. They were playing
cards for the drinks in a saloon
when the others accused him of
cheating and beat him. In self de-

of the others 3 times. After max
ing his escape from town he laid
Is days in the woods, pursued by

says. before the chase was given up.
He says he has since learned

WILL BUP SUPPLIES EAST
UNLESS BAN AGAINST PUR-
CHASING BY WHOLESALE Is
REMOVED.

The local grocers' trust will have
something more formidable than
the complacent private customer
presently in an organization of res
taurant keepers. Following the
lead of proprietors in other parts Of
the state, about a dozen Spokane
restaurant men met last night in
room 622, Columbia block, and took
the preliminary steps toward form.
ing an association for mutual pro-
lection. Another meeting will be
held in a few days and permanent
organization perfected. A canvass
OF the restaurants has shown prac-
tically all the proprietors in favor
Of the plan.
The restaurant mans grievance
against the grocers is the fact that
they are not permitted to buy sup
plies at wholesale. The grocers
don't tell the restaurant man he
cannot. They tell that to the
