BELIEVES ]. C. EVANS
WOULD COMPROMISE
SUIT AGAINST CITY

To clear up one Of the greatest OBJ
stacles in the way of a $185,000 appro-
priation for the South G street bridge,
a compromise might be brought about
between the city Of Richmond and Mr..
and Mrs. Jonathan C. Evans over an
appeal from the awards of the Board
of Works now pending in the circuit
court. Harry Evans, a son, said last
night that it was his opinion that his
parents would compromise.
The Board of Works awarded dam.
ages to the Evans family to the
amount of 5000. The appeal calls
for $4,000. The G street bridge would
run between the house and barn of
the property in question, which is
located on the west bank Of the
Whitewater river.
About Is years ago when the Evans
vile railroad was laying out right-of-
way. 1t had planned a bridge on the
same site as the new G street bridge.
An action In circuit court then -
suited in setting damages at $1,0ts.
They were never paid because the
railroad failed to materialize.

appropriation on the grounds that the
building of the South G street bridge
will relieve the congestion OF traffic on
Main street.
1t will be pointed out that at times
it is almost impossible to get across
Main street at the Eighth street. cross
ing because Of traffic COMPOSITIONS. 1t
will also be pointed out that the in.
terurban traffic on Main street con.
stantly endangers the lives of citizens
A South G street bridge is the only
remedy, the south siders will plead 1t
will be proposed that since the South
G street bridge is planned so it will
bear interurban traffic, that all inter
urban cars be forced to come over that
structure. The cars would then have
to come up to the station over south
side streets.
Arguments Of South Side.
1t will also be pointed out that many
people who come to town from the
southwest part Of the county would
come over the South side bridge, and
would park their means OF convey
ance before they ever go on Main
street. This also would help relieve
the congestion.
It will be necessary for Bockhoff to
prove that no emergency exists and
that a south side bridge would not re-
lieve the congestion.
In order that the South Side bridge
appropriation may be submitted to the
county council at an emergency sess-
ion, it will be necessary that the CON-
missioners be first convinced that an
emergency exists. The commissioners
will then have the appropriation ad-
vertised and Auditor Bowman will call
for the special session.
Little difficulty is expected by the
improvement Association in getting
the commissioners to advertise the ap-
preparation.
