The house has gone on record
against the .-tin bridge" trust Here
tOfore when a county decided to let
a bridge contract it announced that
bridge would be built at a certain
point and across a certain stream and
at certain estimated cost Each of
the bridge companies owns patented
bridge design and when the bids were
submitted each company offered a bid
for its own special bridge. There was
absolutely no competition in the bids
as each bid was for an entirely differ
emit design and under patents which
precluded any other company bidding
on the same style of structure The
bill introduced by Kincaid and passed
by the house provides that the county
commissioners must adopt a certain
design for every bridge proposed. This
design must be adopted II days before
the contract is to be let and all bids
are to be submitted on this one de-
sign, instead of each bid being on q
different style of bridge. The most
persistent lobby around the legislature
has been the bridge companies fight
ing this bill.
