Bridge Assistance By Highway Division

Bridge Assistance By Highway Division.
The State Geological Survey, feeling
that there has been a lack Of skillful
planning and supervision in the con-
struction of the bridges of the state,
resulting in large number Of poor,
weak bridges and bridges of excessive
cost, offers to aid in the planning Of
bridges erected this year.
The Survey will, on request of the
proper officials, send an engineer to in
spect the bridge site, and determine
on the span and the character of bridge
and foundations. From this informa-
ton plans and specifications viii be pre-
pared for bridge of the proper char
acter and strength, and an estimate of
the proper cost furnished. The bridge
can then be ADVERTISED and let with the
assurance that a good bridge will be
erected at a reasonable cost. Plans
furnished by bridge companies will be
checked on request when there is not
sufficient time to use the method out
lined above.
All of this assistance is absolutely
free to towns and villages and there
seems to be no valid reason why bridge
officials should not avail themselves of
it. The calls on the Highway Division
are coming in daily, and ii this commu-
nifty has any bridges TO build this year
it would be well for the town boards tc
apply Immediately in order that the
application may get on file in time foi
work this summer.

Mr.. Huxtable informed me that the
present force of workmen aud ca.
pacity of building are inadequate to
supply the demand they will build a
new aud larger building to take the
place of the old one.
Taking it all in all, must say that
under the present rate of increasing
business the writer is impressed with
the idea that it will be but a short
time when the business men of our
city will stand up and take notice of
the fact that we have at last an in

they can expect man to live at these

can understand. The union men, at
least, should spurn such an offer. "
AS matter Of fact, it would seem
that these men who refused to work
because the pay offered was not large
enough to suit them were sadly at
fault. If they were really at the verge
of starvation, as they claimed, they

Widows Pensions.

over 5000 widows of war veterans in
Wisconsin will be benefited by the new
act Of congress raising widows pensions
from So to $l2 per month
On March 81 pensions We're paid
through the agency for Wisconsin to
1880 widows without children, 49l wild
ows with children, 1T widows of veter-
ans of the Indian wars and three wild
ows of veterans of the war with Spain.
Several hundred invalid and crippled
children of veterans also will be benefit
ed by the increase in the amount of
their pensions.
The first payment Of the increased
pensions was made this month.
The widow must have married the
soldier or sailor before June q, 1890.
She need not prove her husbands
death to have resulted from injuries
contracted in the service. Those Wild
ows now on the pension rolls receive
the increased pay without making APP
plication. Those who have been re-
jected because of having an income in
excess of $3.50 must make application;
but an income Of $3.50 is no longer a

The fact is that the spirit of CO.
