Trinidad will shortly be moved to
some point between this city and Col
orado Springs and that work will be-
gin on the new enterprise within the
next month or six weeks. In addition
to the $13,120 appropriated by the leg
islature it is expected that practically
as much more will be raised by priv
ate subscription, which will mean that
about $25, 1000 will be available for the
undertaking. With prison labor. which
is only about twenty-five per cent as
expensive as free labor. 1t will be pos
sible to build road that would other
wise cost approximately 100000. 1t
will require something like a year to
build the road in question. but, when
finished. 1t will be one of the finest
public highways in Colorado. Much Of
the credit for the contemplated meet
ing at Penrose next Wednesday is due

COUNTY WILL BUILD
STEEL BRIDGE ACROSS THE
RIVER AT COTOPAN

Messrs. La Grange. Kelso and ALL
red, of the board of county commits
sioners. made trip to Cotopaxi few
days ago for the purpose of selecting
location for the proposed new wag-
on bridge across the Arkansas river
at that point. The contemplated struc-
ture will be of steel and will have a
span of eighty-five feet over the main
channel. On account OF the imprac-
ticability of doing anything in the way
of construction until the high water,
caused by the melting of the snow in
the mountains has subsided, work will
not be commenced until late in the
summer. 1t is estimated that the Coto-
paxi bridge will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. There are at present
fourteen public bridges across the Ar
kansas river in this county.
