The Engineer Company at the fort
under command Of Lieut.. Paul S.
Reinecke is busy this week putting in
a concrete bridge over the stream
which is in the gulch between the
main post and the cantOnment. Here
tOfore the various wooden bridges
have been washed away when the
stream became swollen after heavy
rains, but no such thing will happen in
future, as the bridge now under con-
struction is particularly strong and
will be of such height that the water
will not rise over it, The bridge has
22-foot span, will be five feet wide
and 10 feet high. At present it is nee
esSary to go down steps to reach the
path, but Lieut.. ReineCke will build up
the approaches SO that it will be level
with the main road and one can walk
direct from the road across the bridge.
The bridge will probably be completed
within another week.
