Less Than $4,000

A brief, though snappy, ses-
sion of the city conuncil was held
last Monday with Mayor Forbes

there was something doing every
minute, but the feature of the
evening was the Cheyenne street
bridge construction.

Pueblo Bridge Go. was present
with facts and figures on a 20
foot structure with reinforced
concrete, which the board
favored, and while no contract
was let, Mr.. Bullen was instruct
ed to prepare a drawing, which
will be submitted to the board in
side of a week. 1t is believed
that a very creditable bridge can
be constructed for price rang
ing from $140O to $1,000.
To properly facilitate construc-
ton work, Mayor Forbes ap-
pointed q committee on Horse
Creek, consisting of Messrs. Ed
Haberstroh, A. P. Knuckey and
Frank White, who will have sole
