The city Of Richmond entered into
agreement with the county board Of
commissioners to pay the cost Of
Strengthening Main street and improv'
ing the approaches to the bridge. The
city also paid for placing OF asphalt
paving blocks on the bridge instead
of cedar blocks. These were later re
placed by the city with the present
stone blocks.
Frank c. Doran, the designer and
builder of the Doran bridge at North
D street, was appointed by the com
missioners as consulting engineer but
his absence from the city necessitated
his resignation from this work. An
engineer from Cincinnati made the
final inspection of the bridge and plac.
ed the stamp of approval on it.
Ellis N. Gray, deceased, formerly OF
this city, was a member Of the Mas.
sellon Bridge company and had charge
of the negotiations with the county
commissioners.
The bridge was originally designed
for a load of 100 lbs. per square foot
The contract places mo restriction
upon methods to produce this result
but an actual test shall be made of a
section of the floor proposed and 1t
shall stand four times the load pre-
scribed." The contract also required a
bridge that can stand a moving load
of 1870 lbs. per lineal foot At the time
the bridge was built the interurbans
were light but it is estimated by engi
neers now that the load Of heavy cars
is too great for the structure.

Now comes a young married man
with a very serious problem one
which may either make of wreck his
home
He asks whose side he shall take in
the event of difference between his
wife and his mother. In the first place
there should be no differences in which
he should be asked to take sides. In
the second case, if quarrel develops
he should try to bring about an annie
able understanding without taking
sides.
A good wife should try to feel like
a daughter to the mother Of the man
she loves. She should have SO much
love for her mother-in-law that there
could be no jealousy and no dispute.
The mother should love the woman
who has cast her lot with her son in
a noble, unselfish way.
