IOtdi @lo- -. OF
Explanation Of Costs.
The item temporary bridges, $12,-
50T.39" means corrugated iron culvert
pipe, from twelve to twenty four
inches in diameter, placed in county
roads and furnished to townships for
township roads by the county. The law
requires the county to furnish culvertS
to the townships.
The engineering cost is not included
in the total. 1t is an additional sum o.
s4.213
The concrete bridges and culverts
built during the year are covered by
the item s90,099.24.
Bridge Repairs Less.
The argument that if all the bridges
were replaced by permanent bridges
built with money raised by bond is
sues, that the saving in the cost of re-
pairing old wooden bridges would pay
the interest on the bonds is shown in
the lesSenng cost of repairs as more
concrete bridges are built.
The cost of repairing wooden bridges
last year was s10,530. County Engineer
Hickok says that sum includes not
only all of the repairs made in the
year, but not less than 10 per cent of
it represents what would have been
spent for the same purpose this year.
This years work was done last year
because the men had the time and
were kept at the work.
Saving Pays Bond Interest.
Deducting from the s1o530 the 10
per cent that would ordinarily be
paid for repairs this year, leaves the
net amount really chargeable to last
years repairs as s9.477. The cost Of
repairing wooden bridges in 1915 was
s12,111, but in 1916 sixty-five old
bridges We're torn out and concrete
bridges built in their places, and $685.
900 of bonds drawing AZ per cent net
interest per annum, are being issued to
pay for them. The saving in repairs,
between $12,111 spent in 1915, and
s9,477. the net amount spent in 1915,
is 1854. The yearly interest on the
bonds will be $2,59s, or s36 less than
the saving in the repair. bill. AS more
and more concrete bridges are built,
fewer and fewer wooden bridges wilt
have to be repaired. and if enough
concrete bridges are built the paving
in the repair account will keep up
with the interest charge for more
bonds for bridges.
Road Expenditures.
The county spent s23,233.29 for
roads. Of-this amount $1S,277.34 was
taken out Of the road fund and
$4,955.95 out of the motor vehicle, or
automobile license tax, fund.
The summarized expenditures for
roads were: ,..
Temporary work ............S 3,S56.31
Permanent work ............ 11,19S. "A
Repairing roads ............ 1,30o.12
Dragging roads ............. 4,SS2.44

sition with his own guarantee as to
quality of the goods and perfect fit.

NECESSARY PAPERS ARE FLEl
First Meeting Of Stockholders to be
Held on January 18th,
1917.

A new corporation to be known as
the National Manufacturing company
has been organized by local business
and professional men to engage in the
manufacturing business. Articles OF
incorporation have been filed with the
county recorder and business will be
commenced as soon as the secretary
Of state issues his certificate.
c. B. Baumgartner has been operat-
ing plant here in which he has
been manufacturing number OF
small articles such as seed corn
driers, testers, potato bakers and
corn cribs and at the same time he
4 has perfected an improved steel gate
the merits of which have been the
moving cause for the formation of the
new company.
4, This gate has an improved latch
which is on the gate itself rather
than on the post, and which can be
operated by the foot as well as by
hand. The gate also has improved
methods of adjustment which permit
Of its being easily raised or lowered
either all together or at one end only
It is expected that the new company
will manufacture this gate in quan-
titles as well as the other articles
which have been turned out by the
factory heretofore.
G. B. Baumgartner, who will be the
general manager of the new company
has long been connected with the
Grand Crossing Tack company and
other large manufacturing industries
and is thoroughly conversant with the
steel gate business. The new gate is
his invention and faith in its merits
has induced the local men to take
stock in the enterprise. The capital
stock is $4,000, divided into S1Oo
shares. The incorporators are A. M
