The House of Representatives is a
tie between the Republicans and De-
mocrats. 1t passed the County Unit
Bill some time ago only three Repub-
licans voting against it. In the Sen
ate the Democrats have a majority
of six. 1t was here the bill was kill
ed, eighteen Democrats voting TO
bury it, while only two Republicans
voted that way and yet some people
have the brass" to accuse the Re-
publicans of defeating this law.

Representative P. w. Berkshire, De-

WILD MAN MUST BE

Is this wild man business a

this time from the vicinity of the

ner reached the scene, as usual, the
crazy one had just moved. At divers
times he appears naked, or dressed

going on now for a month, without
an officer seeing him, but many peo-
pie claiming to have had better

man climbs trees like monkey,
runs like deer and wears a beard

OFFICIAL COST BILL OF
WASHINGTON ST. BRIDGE

The total cost of the Washington
the report which the board Of
works will submit to the council
tonight, is $157,941.57, with credits
of machinery, etc, that can be used
again. of $32, 10515. This leaves the
actual cost of the structure $685.
S3642.
In the event that the city does
not build any more concrete
bridges, the machinery purchased
for the Washington st. construc-
ton. will be almost a total loss,
for If not sold it will be stored away
and probably not used again for
years.
The original estimate furnished
by the Wallace Coates company of
Chicago was $4,000, about one
third of the actual cost. This fact
is generally attributed first to the
hasty sketch which the Wallace
Coates Representatives made of the
bottom of the river. and then to
general mismanagement and incom-
petence, especially in directing the
labor employed. 1t has been an ex-
pensive experimnt, not tn least
cost of which was the loss of two
lives through carelessness when,
after the structure was completed,
H. w. Engelking and Grant Powell
were sent out upon frail raft to
tear out some castings so the struc-
ture would present more finished
on the occasion of its
dedication
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1908-05-26

Bit the end is not yet. Accord
ing to an agreement with the Wal
lace-Coates people the city must
pay 8 per cent "of the cost" of the
bridge for the plans. This will
amount to another charge of about
$4,000 against the structure.
The cost of stock purchased was
SIC, 40105 and the most of this was
used.
The cost of labor was $58,267.S1.
The charge has been made that
during almost the entire time that
the lbrldgework was under way so
many laborers were employed that
they. were in one another's way
and much of the time had nothing
to do but draw salaries. In the en-
cheering figures, which appear in
the report, is an item for "engi-
neers in the city hall, $2,0S0.51,"
and another for engineers at
bridge, $2,SS9.70."
If the city had already purchased
plans of construction from the
Wallace-Coates Co., why was there
any reason for any further expense
for engineers in the city hall?'
1t is readily understood that some
directing engineering heads were
necessary at the bridge.
Many other items of labor eX-
penke look unreasonable on paper
One of these is auto and steno-
graphic hire for Burr. $24.75." This
was for William H. Burr, a bridge
expert who casually cast his eye
over all of SpokaneS bridges.
