ASK CONTRACTOR
WHO BUILT span
TO Give REPORT
Officials Advised by Attorney
Jessup to See If Repairs
Would Cost in Excess of
$4,000.
BAVIS FAVORS IDEA

After Attorney Wilfred Jessup had
suggested to the board of public
works today that before any decisive
action had been taken in regard to
the replacing Of the condemned Main
street bridge experts of the bridge
company, which constructed it, should
be called in to make an investigation
to determine whether it could not be
satisfactorily repaired, President Ba.
Wis announced that he had written to
the president of the county council
asking that body to meet in confer
ence with the city officials next Fri
day.
Jessup expressed the opinion that
the Main street bridge could be repair
ed at an expense of not more than
$4,000 SO that its period Of useful
ness could be extended at least ten
years. He said that he was certain it
would cost not less than $175, 900 to
construct a concrete structure on the
site Of the condemned bridge.
Worth Consideration.
President Bavis stated that If the
Main street bridge could be repaired
for not more than $4,000 the plan
suggested by Attorney Jessup was
we'll worth careful consideration.
President Bavis made it plain to
Jessup that the city would not assume
the expense of repairing the Main
street bridge If an investigation re-
vealed the possibility OF placing it in
satisfactory state of repair. He de-
clared that the city would not have
more than $25, 1000 available next year
to provide for all kinds of necessary
public improvements.
Mr. Jessup stated that while the
bridge was a part of a city street and
the city was legally bound to provide
for its upkeep and repairs the county
could under the law, II it so desired,
assume the cost of rehabilitating the
condemned structure if it were posi-
BILE to repair it so that it would be
serviceable for a reasonable length of
time. He thought the county commits
sioners and the county councilmen,
In such event, would not hesitate to
meet the cost of such repairs in pref
erence to shouldering upon the county
a debt Of between $150.000 and $175,-
900 for the construction OF a concrete
bridge. Jessup also thought the trac-
tion company would agree to assume
a part OF the expense OF repairing the
bridge. "The company would not be

RUmELY PLANS.
NEARING FINAL
CONSUMMATION

The formal plan of reorganization Of
the M. Rumely company will be an
nounced within few days according
to reports received here from New
York. Meetings were held at New
York yesterday by the committees
representing the security holders of
the company at the conclusion of
which 1t was stated that the plan of
reorganization will be made public
within the next few days. The stock
holders and noteholders' committees
have reached an agreement.
It was learned definitely today that
there is no prospect of the Bethlehem
Steel corporation taking over any Of
the plants of the company. One of
the officials of the Rumely company
at LaPorte recently visited the Beth
lehem Steel works and went over the
specifications required in connection
this Is believed to be the origin of the
report that spread like wildfire
through the country.
To date, 1t is stated. no orders have
been received by the company for the
manufacture of war supplies, but 1t is
highly probable that this work will be
taken over by the company.
The prospects Of the sale Of the To-
cal plant Of the company remain the
same as they were two weeks ago, ac-
cording to a statement by e. M. Haas.
secretary of the Commercial club.
Nothing definite has been learned
regarding the sale to the American
Foundry and Machine company, Of
Hamilton, who had representatives
here last week inspecting the plant.
