WOODEN FLOOR BRIDGES
May HAVE new SURFACE

The state highway commission has
sent out letters to county and district
engineers and county commissioners
urging that inspection of bridges with
wooden floors of which there are $4,000
in the state, be made so that their
faults may be discovered early and
money saved by making slight repairs
now of defects which would require a.
greater expense later.
Floors of such bridges must be re-
planked every FIVE years, at large ex-
pense. The Illinois highway commits
sion has discovered bituminous COW
ering for bridges of this sort, which
saves the structures from excessive jar
and does not greatly increase their
weight. 1t also is said to increase the
length of life of the floors. 1t may be
adopted in this state If found efficient.

New York-The news that the Phil
adelphia set sail for the United States
found immediate response in the stock
market. This response may be indie
alive Of the effect which would be ex-
erted upon the stock market by the
return of all American ships to ac-
tice use. Much more attention was
given to this event than to the news
from Germany. The real issue is not
whether Germany does or does not
release Americans in Germany, but
whether she will, or will not in prac-
tice. so far as Americans are con-
cerned, cancel her declaration Of I'M
restricted warfare. Second, market
was helped by the news OF the broad
scale cooperative plan which Is being
worked out for relief of freight con-
gestion on the railroads. These plans
seem to have reference to a free move
ment of the necessity of relief but the
efforts which railroads will make will
not be limited to that traffic alone.
Now that oontry wide has been di-
rected to the matter enough co-opera-
ton may be obtained to assure a large
measure Of relief at an early date.

Sun.

New York, Feb. 17.-In we'll informed
quarters more optimistic feeling was
noted regarding the outlook in the
matter of this country's relations with
Germany and there were some bankers
who were willing to go on record with
the opinion that there would be no war
with Germany, while there were others
who insisted that even if the United
States should enter the European con-
f1ict there would neither be an outpour-
in gof stocks or permanent declines in
market values. 1t is quite probable
that the larger financial interests would
welcome an advancing movement in the
near future because of its effect on the
success of important financial interests
which are now under consideration and
which the bankers apparently are anx-
lous to bring to completion. These op-
erations embrace financing for foreign
governments, including France and
some South American republics and
Canada. Sun.

see nothing to induce than to change
their position. The leaders have done
no selling of late and are content to al
