FOR A BIG BRIDGE
At BATON ROUGE
IT WAS AUTHORIZED BY CON.
GRESs BY ACT OF
MARCH 2, 1919.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge, lathe construction
Of a bridge across the Mississippi
river at Baton Rouge, as authorized by
Congress March 2, 1918, probably de.
ponds upon whether the act of au.
thorization is amended in two parti-
culars, according to information made
public by the Baton Rouge Chamber Of
Commerce.
The amendments to be urged will
provide that the time limit for the be-
ginning of the construction work be
extended from March 2, 1914, to March
2, 1915, and that the requirements that
that the bridge be a highway be made
optional.
The promoters of the bridge COM
pany have been unable to finance the
proposition and they believe that their
failure is due in part to the highway
provision.
The bridge proposed must clear the
average high water mark by 80 feet.
With a one per cent grade this will
necessitate that the approach be 10000
feet. If the highway feature is added
this will necessitate another approach.
Allowing a maximum grade of TX per
cent, the highway approach would be
approximately 1,600 feet in length.
This added feature would make the
cost of the bridge prohibitive.
