CONTRACT LET FOR
CHEVELON BRIDGE

Word was received here this
week that the contract for the
bridge across Chevelon Greek
has finally been let and that the
work on the same is to be com
pleted within tour months.
There were various bids re-
ceived from bridge building com
panles but all conceded that it
would take about four months
to complete the work and the
contract was awarded to the
Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron
Co. The price for which the
work will be done was not given
in the letter of Information.
The bridge is to be constructed
entirely of steel with concrete
floor.
The people Of this community
have been working for a bridge
across this creek for the last five
years and at last their wishes
have been fulfilled. 1t is without
doubt one of the most necessary
improvements at the present
time in this county.
