CONTRACT LET FOR
NEW SNI BRIDGE
Topeka Bridge Company Award
ed the Contract. $4,000
Will be Expended.

The commissioners of the Well
ing Special Road District met in
Wellington Monday to let the
contract for the building of a
permanent bridge across the Sni
to replace the one washed away
by the flood last summer.
The proposition is a rather a
difficult one on account of the
wash during high water. The
location, however, was gone over
pretty thoroughly by represen-
tatives Of the different compan-
les, and each knew just what
they we're up against. The To-
Ipeka Bridge Company won the
contract for the bridge, which
also carries with it the repair
and maintenance OF the tempOr-
ary structure.
The new bridge will have a
double arch concrete span of 1870
feet, with concrete abutements
and piling to bed rock, and will
be the most substantial bridge in
the county.
