BRIDGE INSPECTED
City Council Takes Look at
the Structure Spanning
Old Canal at Sears,
is IN NEED OF REPAIRS
Interest of Owners of Water Power
Rights and Street Car Company
is Involved.

The city council Saturday afternoon
held a special meeting and went to
Rock river to inspect the canal bridge
at Sears. The meeting was called by
Mayor Schaffer, who at the last council
meeting called the attention of the
aldermen to the necessity for immedf-
ate repairs on the bridge. The abut-
ment has become so weakened that it
must be rebuilt at once.
VIII Widen CnnaI.
When the matter came to the atten-
ton of Mayor Schaffer, he conferred
with the owners of the water power
rights, with a view to securing then,
permission to having the canal filled
so that it would not be necessary to
repair the span. Instead of conserving
to this, the owners of the rights stated
it was their intention soon to widen
the canal to a width of probably $50
feet. 1t is understood, too. that the
water power men have agreed to stand
span with a new bridge, of a width to
meet future requirements. The street
car company is also interested, and will.
it is UNDERSTOOD. bear a share of the
cost, giving the city an entirely new
structure suitable for interurban rail
way service. and considerably longer
than the present bridge, for about the
cost of rebuilding the abutment of the
present structure.
May Come Up Tonight.
The council, after examining the con
dition of the bridge, adjourned without
taking any action. The matter will
probably come up tonight at the regu-
lar meeting. when formal propositions
may be considered.
