Alderman Carlson, on the bridge
committee, reported that the com.
mittee had seen the county commits |
sioners regarding their half of the exF
pense of erecting the bridge. It was
reported that there was but 1000 IN
the road and bridge fund but that At
the city make the improvements, the
/ county would return its share next
!, year.
City Engineer Phil. S. Randall then
gave an estimate Of the probable cost
Of the improvements on the bridge,
abutment and approaches. In his
estimate he reported that the cost OF
building cement walk on the approach
to the bridge would cost nearly $3Oo..
J This would put walk from the bridge.
proper to the regular street walk. :
In preparing his estimate OF the cost
of putting in sidewalk on both
sides Of the bridge, he submitted the.
cost of two kinds of walk, the cfeo-.
sote plank and the creosote planks
and block. The latter is the same as
is now used on the bridge driveway
The first named, he estimated would
cost in the neighborhood Of $l,4lo,
which would include PLANK strips on
which to nail the walk plank SO as: to
give it a firm base. The latter OF
creosote block walk, would cost nearly
$2,400, or practically $1,000 more than
the first named *,
The proposed abutment at the east
approach to the bridge will be built
of concrete, to conform with the abut-
ment on the west approach. In bulid.
ing this it would be necessary SO
: erect q cofferdam and the estimate on
the abl4tment was mace with this nd
aision, making q total cost Of aAoszs 1tl
S., 600 for The abutment. The tolal
cost OF the Improvements on the
l bridge woull therefore amount to
), about $5,3O)
!. In making his estimate Mr.. Randall
used the day schedule as basis toi
: figuring the labor, but it was decided
to advertise for bids for the same, on
contracts. August was set as the
l day foi letting Of the bids.
! It was also suggested that the mat
+ ter of having new fence put in at thu
(. approaches be investigated, as the Ole
board fence is in very bad condition
Chas. Bergquist was granted
