MONSTER PROJECT FOR
A MINNESOTA COUNTY
Mower County viii Spend 100000 on
1O2 New Bridges, Highway
Commission Says.


Duluth, Mimi, March lO-Mower
county, in southeastern Minnesota, is
entering on one of the biggest BRIDGE
building projects ever undertaken by
any one county in the west, according
to word received by the state highway
commission, and will spend $500, 900
On 102 new bridges. All the old and
WORKOUT wooden structures, which are
a danger to traffic and which cost
large sums for repairs and replace
ments when washed out in the spring,
will be replaced by reinforced concrete
bridges.
A bond issue to cover the cost was
voted recently in close county cleo
ton, committing the community to
the project. It In figured that interest
on the bonds viii be saved by doing
away with the frequent repairs neces-
sary for the present bridges, leaving
nothing but the principal to be wiped
out by taxation. The county has 321
bridges that now cost from $2z TO s2s
each a year for repairs.
The new concrete piling recently in
troduced by the state highway COM
mission also will be used in the new
structures aad this is expected to re-
suit In another large saving for re-
pairs. The cost OF the new structures
will be reduced on account of the size
of the project al materials can 10
bought more cheaply in large quahti-
ties. e.
Plans for the bridges WIN all be
furnished by the highway commission.
