lengthy conference this morning at

sulting engineer. from Des Moines.
Iowa. Mi. Marsh IS mere in regard
To the building OF the new bridge
across the Minnesota river AT Main
street.
Mr. Marsh made the council n prom
osltion Tor the drawing of the plans
OF the bridge and for furnishing a su-
Iervisor, subject 10 the approval OF
the council. The council thought that
proposition was about as good as any
that had been received from any OF
the engineers, but made Mr.. Marsh
counter proposition. on the under
standing that Mr.. Marsh would give
his answer some time today.
Many of the engineers have offered
to draw the PLANS for two and half
per cent OF the total cost of the
bridge and to furnish the supervising
service Ter two-and half per cent
more. making five per cent in all.
Others have bid as low as four per
csS,f for all OF this work The propo-
sitirn that the council made TO Mr..
Marvin was to have all of this service
Performed for certain definite sum
Thus. If the engineer should manage
10 lessen to total cost. it would not
diminish his own compensation. and
there would be no temptation for him
TO make the bridge cost more than
il should.

just the sort of bridge that should
be built at that place. The Picture
