use of patented designs for re-en-
forced concrete bridges is concern
ed, is now and has been in existence

for building patent concrete bridges.
The Topeka Bridge and Iron Com
pany had exclusive control over all
concrete bridges in certain counties
of the state. The contracts were

enforced concrete bridge patents.
