Inc noOrlng OF the new foot bridge
which has been built on the east side
of the Santa Fe bridge across the
Kansas river is nearly completed. 1t
has iron ratings and is larger and
stronger than the first foot bridge
which had been built on the west side
OF the bridge. 1t is said to cost 81 900.
The original foot bridge which ex-
tended along the west side of the
bridge cost $1,635. 1t was removed
when the railroad bridge was enlarg-
ed. 1t was built with subscriptions by
North side merchants for the benefit
of employees of the Santa Fe shops
who live in North Topeka. The con-
tract between the city and the railroad
company required that in event that
the railroad build a heavier railroad
bridge proper. that the city should
pay for the expense of the transfer.
This was referred to by C. F. Jor-
dan, councilman for the First ward,
who was instrumental in securing the
subscriptions mentioned, when the
railroad company asked the city to
pay $4,000 for the construction of a
new foot bridge. Mr.. Jordan plainly
showed that the city was liable to the
cost of the transfer but not for the ex-
pense of new one. However, the
railroad company decided to build a
new foot bridge at it's own expense
rather than to transfer the old one.
