last, and at that time Mr.. Neff ex-
planned the delay in submitting the vi
aduct plans, by stating the plans for
the iron work on the viaducts were
being prepared by the engineers of n
bridge company, and that he had not
yet received these plans.
Mr.. Neff informed Mr.. Merrill that
the plans for the other work the rail-
road company will have to do at the
West Second street crossing, were
ready and would be submitted to the
board of public works as soon as the
iron work plans had been received
from the bridge company. Mr.. Neff
looks for the iron work plans within
a few days. but the delay on the part
of the railroad company in preparing
its plans and specifications means
that the work of making the improve
ments at the crossing will not be
started until late in June.
