BOND MAKES KICK
Administration Wanted the

Half of Expense New
Bridge Wanted.

t-ss. s-y4aa s y
City Attorney Bond in discussing the
action OF the county council in making
an appropriation for the construction
of a temporary bridge to handle the
traffic of the condemned Main street
structure, expressed the opinion that
the county had made mistake In its
decision to charge the traction COM
pany for only one-third of the cost Of
the span.
However, the bridge question has
now passed out of the hands of the
city and 1t is really, no concern of the
city what kind of an agreement the
county enters into with the traction
company in regard to the construction
of temporary BRIDGE" the city attor-
ney added.
He said that he was confident that
the county could have entered into an
agreement with the traction company
whereby the company would assume
half the cost of the structure. He said
that in talking with General Superin-
tendent Jefferies of the traction COM
pany, Mr.. Jefferies had informed him
that the company was willing to pay
half the cost of temporary bridge.
Plans Fall Through.
Apparently the plan advocated by
Wilfred Jessup to have the Masilon
Bridge and Structural company send
engineers to inspect the condemned
Main street bridge to ascertain wheth-
er it could be repaired so that it could
be serviceable for at least ten years
longer, has fallen through. The CON-
pany has notified the city attorney
that it has no engineer to conduct
such an investigation.
City officials believe that the county
authorities will decide to replace the
condemned structure with a modern
concrete span. West Richmond peo-
pie are preparing to make vigorous
demand for the erection of such a
bridge, and 1t was announced today
that there would be mass meeting of
West Richmond citizens interested in
the promotion of this project on West
Main street near the bridge Friday
evening. A band has been engaged
to furnish music for the occasion.
Plans for new bridge popular with
extending from the western terminus
tween Third and Fourth streets on
this side of the river. Such a plan
would bring the grade of the bridge on
a level with the c. & O. railroad
bridge across Main street, thus provid-
ing a grade crossing over the proposed
new structure. This arrangement
meets with the d1sapproval of all the
city officials and lively row appears
to be brewing. AS the grade of the
c. & O. through Richmond has been
established, that company cannot be
compelled to raise or lower its viaduct
across Main street.

LONDON, Aug. 23.-To shatter any
defense that Germany might attempt

Star liner Arabic, the British foreign
office today issued an official state
ment setting forth these four facts.
First-The Arabic was not armed

The information herewith given

The county council In session Satur-
day afternoon appropriated $500 for
the construction Of a temporary bridge
at Main street. .--
The appropriation was passed by a
unanimous vote after promise was
made that the traction company would
stand one-third of the cost of construc.
ton and the additional cost OF placing
larger beams under the car tracks. The
bridge will be made thirty feet wide,
according to plans Of City Engineer
Charles. County Engineer Mueller and
Engineer Daniels Of the traction com
pany.
These three men held a conference
Saturday morning and decided on the
proper kind of bridge to make and
placed an estimate of $500. 1t will
not require this large an amount to
pay the county's two-thirds, but it was
thought best by the council and COM
missioners to appropriate this sum to
meet any emergency.

SECOND FLOOD
NEAR ST. LOUIS
FATAL TO II
1000 Families in County Are
Homeless and Motor Boats
Rush to Rescue Maro0ned
Families.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 23.-The county of
ST. Louis today staggered under the
weight of a second disastrous flood.
Twelve lives were the toll of the over
flowing rivers in this section. All
were lost along the Meramec river,
which was out of it's banks. One hun
dred other persons were reported
missing and fully 1000 families were
homeless Hundreds of cottages that
lined the river were swept away and
the residents of the frail structures
escaped death by narrow margins in
scores of instances. A report from
along the Meramec short distance
from where it flows into the Mississ-
ippi river, today stated that men in
motor boats and on RATS were still
working to rescue marooned persons
