New Steel Footbridge Over Pinal Creek in Next
 Four Months
CONTRACT GOES TO
 FL PASO COMPANY
Many Other Matters Taken Up at Regular Meeting
 of City Council

Within the next four months, a new steel foot bridge will be built across Pinal creek, on the east side of North Broad street, a contract for the con struction of this bridge having been let to the Fl Paso Bridge & Iron con- pany at last night s session of the city council
 The contract was awarded to the Fl Paso concern for the price of $l,64O. Bond in the full sum of the contract price will be given to insure completion within four months.
 The new structure will be of steel, 1lO feet, in length, with an eight foot roadway. The steel frame will rest on concrete piers, supported at the center by steel posts, the structure being con structed to support weight of 100 pounds per square foot.
 In addition to the bid of the Fl Paso Bride & Iron company, two bids for wooden structures were submitted by F. A. Frakes.
 Frakes offered to construct cable bridge for $975 or wooden bridge for $1,O5O. While these two bids were somewhat cheaper than that of the Fl Paso concern, it. was the opinion of the majority of the members Ot the council that steel bridge would be more permanent structure and that | in the event of the construction of a wagon bridge across Pinal creek that the steel bridge could be easily removed to some other part of the city at no great cost.
 w. D. Webb, representing the Fl Paso company, stated that the contract had been awarded that the material would be put in shape and shipped to this city in about three months.
 The new bridge, while it will not fill the need of a wagon bridge over Pinal creek, it will be material bene- fit to all business houses on the east side of North Broad street, particular lv firms located near Pinal creek.
 New regulations regarding the cree ton of wires and poles in this city by telephone, telegraph or electric com panies which have been under consld- eration for some time, were adopted.

 Harry Temple appeared before the council, requesting that a 32 candle power lamp be installed at the South Hill street bridge, and that the signs relative to fast driving across the | bridge be changed to make them more legible to the travelling public. Steps will be taken to stop fast driving. No action was taken with regard to the light.
