ENGINEER FISHEL
MAKES REPORT
County Engineer Fishel Has Compiled
Summary of Bridge and CuIvert
Work In Crawford County
SEVERAL LARGE CONTRACTS LET
Has Cost County $18,337.75 to Repair
Wooden Bridges in County and
$1,664.33 for Steel Bridges

County Engineer H. B. Fishel has
compiled summary of the bridge
and culvert work in this county fo1
the Review which contains some very
interesting data. During the past year
contracts for bridge and culvert work
We're let by the board Of supervisors
amounting to $94,951.74. The estimat
ed cost of this work as figured by the
county engineer was $94, 10000, or an
excess of $191.74 above the engineer
estimated cost, which amounts to one
half of 1 per cent.
On April 18th contracts were let for
1882 cubic yards of concrete for box
culverts for the sum of $31 ,557 .O5, or
a unit price OF $12.43 per cubic yard.
Most of this concrete work was rein.

and 1880 lineal feet Of piling was con.
tracted for $16,124.50.
On August 8th, 2062.5 cubic yards of
of $13.01 per cubic yard; 1922 cubic
concrete in box culverts was let by the
board for $22,S29.19, or for unit price
yards of concrete and 9S,1OO pounds
of structural steel and 1888 lineal feet
of piling was contracted for $780,
441.O0. The reason that the work let
in August was higher than the April
letting is due to the fact that struc-
tural steel advanced considerably in
price.
According to the county engineer it
has cost the county during the past
year just $1S,337.75 to repair the
wooden bridges in the county, while
the steel bridges have cost to repair
during the same length of time ST.,
643.37. The county has paid out
$664.63 for painting steel bridges the
past year; $507.O0 has been paid for
right of way for county roads during
the past year. Including the items
mentioned above and for temporary
roads, channel changes, temporary
culverts, etc; there has been expend.
ed from the bridge fund during the
past year the sum of $32,339.42.
From the road fund there has been
