son has decided to go ahead and start
the work of building a bridge across
the Nizina river, for which purpose
the last legislature made an appropri-
alton of $4,000. This has been found
an insufficient sum for the work, and
as a consequence but 5000 feet of a
16-foot-wide pile bridge will be built
at present, leaving 1926 feet to be
added to the structure when funds are
available. The contract has been let
to Carl Carlson and John Erickson,
employees of the Copper River railway,
who bid $3.50 per foot, or $4,000, for
the proposed improvement.
