KRINBILL TELLS
STORY OF BRIDGE
Continued from Page u

At that time the law required cities
to pay at least $500 toward the con-
struction of bridges built by the county
and it was then that a member of the
board of public works of the city Of
Hammond appeared before the com
missioners and stated that the city did
not have any money in the treasury
and If it could be relieved Of paying
the $500 the city would agree to build
the approaches.
While there was no written contract
with the administration, the county
commissioners all know this member
of the board, at that time a stanch
Backer adherent, made the proposition
and there is a record of the fact in the
minutes of the county commissioners.
City Falls to Keep Faith.
Believing that the city was acting in
good faith, the county commissioners
and the county council went ahead with
and appropriated the $4,000 for the
building of the Columbia avenue
bridge.
When this man ceased to be a mem
Der of the board OF public works and
the city administration promptly abro-
gated the agreement he made with the
county commissioners, according to
| them.
1t was to be expected that when the
county commissioners were asked tc
report favorably an appropriation fol
the building of the approaches, that
| they as promptly turned down the
proposition and informed the city ad-
ministration that the Columbia avenue
bridge could rot before they woult
spend another cent for this improve.
ment.
Many of the Hammond business mer
are of the opinion that it is a fata
mistake to antagonize the county coun.
cilmen and commissioners when the
city of Hammond has SO much to ex
pect from them in the future.
The fact is pointed out that tn,
city of Hammond IS very anxious t
have new bridge built over the CaIu
met river at Holman street in the nea
future, and with the city administra
ton attempting to put one over on tn
county Hammond has about as good
chance of getting an appropriation a
an ostrich has of picking up a LIVING
at the north pole.

west from the central part are the Nor

and can be reached from eight to TWEEN
