bridge is so old that care has to be
used in handling traffic over it. 1t has
been several months since an order
was issued to all the roads using the
bridge that double headers would no
longer be permitted to cross the bridge
and since that time all heavy trains
pulled by two engines either have to
be cut In two or pusher used.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City. July 2s.-The lowest
bidders on the proposed big $4,000
dam projected by the city of Fort
Dodge are the firm Of Sullivan & Zit-
terrell. Of this city. The matter of the
construction Of this immense municipal
project will be submitted to the voters
of Fort Dodge July 81, at which time
the position to levy $4,000 in bonds
will be voted upon.
& The Fort Dodge Power Company
own a large dam just 1900 feet above
the site of the proposed municipal dam.
Fort Dodge has not as yet granted the
latter company franchise to operate
inside the corporate limits Of the city.
The city council favors the municipal
dam project because 1t would give the
city permanent water supply and de-
velop at least 500 horse power from
which part Of the city could be
lighted and from which power could be
sold to private parties. 1t would also
make a fine boating resort.
Fighting 1end Issue.
There is much agitation for and
against the municipal project among
the voters of Fort Dodge and it is still
an open question whether the bonds
will be voted next week. The matter
as to the contract being awarded
Messrs. Sullivan and Zitterell Is de-
pendent, of course, on the bond propo-
sition carrying.

tered into with this concern to take all
the drainage bonds issued in Hamilton
county during the balance of the year

$4,000 and 100000 in that kind OF
bonds will be issued.
Take Bonds at Reduction.
The Toledo concern takes these
bonds at 51s per cent. Heretofore they

Goa, Dealer. Raise Prices.

Des Moines, July 26.-An advance
in the retail price Of Iowa coal from
1918 to 81 per ton was agreed upon by
the Des Moines coal dealers at a meet
ing held Wednesday afternoon. Altho
the dealers say that no time has been
fixed when the new rate shall become
effective. Il Is understood that Oct I
Is the time set. Fourteen Of the largest
coal dealers OF the city were present
at the meeting. Notices had been sent
to all dealers to be present, but It is
said the attendance was disappointing,
as a much larger number Of dealers
was expected. Coal dealers declined to
make contracts for supply OF coal
for the winter at 1915 per ton. They
offered to sell consumers any amount
Of fuel at that price before Oct 1. but
as few householders have storage ca :
pacity for winters supply. 1t is likely
that the increase will hit every home

thing could interfere now, since the
