REPORT on VALUE
| OF MAYO's BRIDGE
CITY MUST PAY EITHER sl1a,oas ON
sisesso ACCORDING TO COURT
DECISION.
APPROACHES IN DOUBT
FIX THEIR PRICE
AT $500 nut MAKE
NO RECOMMEN-
DATION.

The Mayo bridge property and site
will cost the city either $llZ.ooo OF
100000. according to whether or not
the courts deciae that the bridge COM
pauy Is entitled to pay for the APP
pruaches to the bridge. These latter
inciuue that part Of Fourteenth street
between the dock and the bridge pro-
per, and that part of Hull street De-
tween the south side of the river ana
the canal.
The estimated value was fixed by
special board of commissioners ap-
pointed by Judge Witt They report
ed late Thursday afternoon after nav
ing held nearly score OF meetings.
The price estimated BY them includes
the purchase of the bridge franchise
and the right to take toll. 1t alsc
includes the valuation of the brick
building on the south side OF Four
teenth street adjoining the dock.
The point raised by the bridge COM
pany that payment should be made
for the abutments to the bridge Is
not passed upon by the commission
ers The two approaches are assess
ed at $1,000, the Richmond approach
being valued AT $500 and the south
size approach being valued at s2,oVo.
On the decision of the court rests the
question: as 10 GHetlGI vi NV Liz stAJ
shall pay or get the approaches free.
IL the court decides that the city
need not pay for the abutments. the
bridge property will have been Sc
cured at a price s15.510 less than the
offer made to the Finance Committee
several months ago.
Need Not Accept.
II is not incumbent on the city to
accept the figures of the commission.
An appeal may be taken. If 1t Is con-
stdered that the price Is exorbitant.
If, on the other hand. the city Is sat
isiied. ii can deposit the specified price
to the credit of the court. assume pos

price, 1t can. and undoubtedly will.
