BRIDGE COST VS.. LOSS.

A REPORT OF the bridge engineer who examined
~ the South Side bridge some time ago was to the
effect that the bridge could be repaired at cost
OF TO $4,000 that would make 1t last for 20 years.
This amount expended repairs would be nothing in
comparison with the loss the taxpayers the bridges
are constructed without the corporations to be benefited
paying their share of the burden especially view Of
the cost of construction at the present time 1t is es
mated by contractors who in position to know that
the high prices prevailing for material would make
difference in the cost Of the construction Of the bridges
Of about 20 per cent
II was estimated that under normal conditions the
Monongahea river bridge would cost s350000 and the
South Side bridge about 100000. The additional 20
per cent the cost Of the bridges would amount to
$4,000 which added to the $4,000 that Mayor Bowen
said should be the share of the corporations and the
county court would amount to $4,000; and this sum
would be pure loss to the taxpayers.
Would It not be better business policy for the city to
spend sufficient money on the South Side Bridge to
meet the needs Of the city for year or two;
until such time the great in Europe is over and
the cost OF material reduced to normal 1t Is estimated
that 5000 or $4,000 would be sufficient to make such
repairs; and surely the expenditure OF this sum of
money to save the Of $4,000 could not but meet
with the hearty approval Of the taxpayers of the city
Looking at the proposition from another angle there
10 st further reason why the South Side bridge should
DO improved at once II the bridge in such condition
as is reported to be in at the tme the Board
OF Affairs should not walt single day to make the
improvements needed for any accident that might take
place due to the condition of the South Side bridge
could properly becharged to criminal negligence on their
part II the bridge needs attention It should be fixed at
once without waiting for bond issue and discussion
Of other viaducts.
Welmay all want new brdges but we can't have them
until the people vote for them which won't be until
there Is some definite promises written into the bond

steps to give citizens safe passage to the South Side
