BRIDGE PROBLEM
INTERESTS MANY
EXPERT JUDGES
Elkhart Engineer Believes
Any Contractor Could
Lengthen Life Of Span by
at Least Ten Years.

The Main street bridge problem has
attracted attention of a large num-
Der OF bridge contractors and engin-
GERS from outside the city. Within
the past week at least six engineers
have made casual inspection OF the
condemned structure and the site Of
the temporary bridge.
1t is presumed that several of the
Arms represented are expecting to
submit bids on the construction of the
temporary structure. The opinion Of
these engineers vary as to the advis-
ability of repairing the old bridge or
building an entirely new one.
D. L. Davis, general contractor, of
Elkhart. Ind, was In the city yester-
day inspecting the Main street bridge.
He said that casual inspection would
show that the bridge was in a bad
condition, but he believed it could be
repaired. He made the statement
that bridge firms would be willing to
take over the Job of repairing the
bridge, furnishing a sufficiently large
bond to guarantee the job for ten
years.
1T would be unwise to build the
bridge in any other position than It is
at the present time" he said. 1T
would be unwise to raise the east end
Of the bridge up to a level with the
west end. There would be no advan-
tage in It,"
Engineer Cole, Of the Cole Bridge
company, of Detroit, Mich, was also
looking over the bridge.
Last Saturday, two engineers from
Chicago, visited the bridge site, but
made no comments.

The most closely guarded secret OF

The only present use to which any
