$4,000 BRIDGE
FOR SALT RIVER
Will be Immense Structure of
Steel And &C.
ment.

Elizabethtown, Ky.,x Febs 12,--Yes-
terday was an epoch ymaking day in
the history OF Hardin county, and es-
peoially of the hus5llng little Town OF
West Point when it was announces
that the last obstacle in uhe way Of
building at once the proposed bnidge
over Salt river at West Point had bee
removed and that construction W 'uld
begin in the near future
The obstacle was the refy ! OF Max
Cert, Louisville grocer dnummdr to
sell at what the county officials and
bridge commissioners deemed rea-
sonable price a tract of land in Har-
din county, lying at a point whero
the approach of the new bridge would
be built.
Mr.. Cert yesterday agreed upon
terms with the commissioners and
the matter was settled.
The new bridge will cost in the
neighborhood of 100000 and will be
erected at a spot between the Hill
nois Central and Henderson Route
bridges ever the salt rivsr. 1t will be
about six fest higher than either Of
those and will be built of steel
and cement
The plans provide for a walk for
foot passengers, besides the wagon
way. 1t DIS Also expected that In the
future ths Louisville Railway Com
pary whose tracks are already extend
ed to Orell. may extend their lines
across the bridge and possibly fthroug
ElIzabethtown to Hodgenville and the
Lincoln Farm.
When the structure Is complated,
the dream of years of West Point
and Hardin county citizens will be
realized. 1t Is impossible to estimate
the many mass meetings the hundreds
of conferences, each insulting IRON
the many peculiar turns affairs have
taken. have resulted from the idea OF
having a bridge over the famous stream
at West POINT thereby connecang Har
din and jefferson counties.
