was completed practically on
time and the Richland traffic was
taken care of continuously.
But, MIR. Editor, i believe you
Law most stress on the question
of the piers and abutments not
being what they should be, so let
us look into that question as
best we may.
When the bridge engineer
from Portland went over the
foundations he reported them in
good order and capable Of carry
ing the bridge safely, saving and
excepting only the center pier,
which he advised being rein
forced and strengthened. His
suggestions were carried out to
the letter and some 100000 was
spent in concrete work on that
pier alone. The bridge is locat-
ed on what is known as a state
highway and in order that safe
ty first might prevail, the writ
er requested the engineer Of the
state highway commission to
send an experienced engineer to
examine the foundation at the
time the bridge was about COM
pleted. He came and pronounc-
ed foundations, piers and every
thing safe and satisfactory, sug-
costing only some rip-rap stone
work at the far end Of the bridge
which was promptly done.
AS regards your ridiculous as
sertion that the present board
of commissioners knew that the
foundations of the bridge We're
unsafe Oh had ever been told so
by any engineer / wish to brand
any such tale as absolutely false
and without any foundation in
fact. And furthermore, / would
like very much for you to explain
what possible political advan-
tages could be obtained by any
one by deliberately doing the
thing you assert was done. And
also wish to remark that il any
number Of people in
your community believe your as
sertion to be true it seems to me
that instead of appointing a
safety committee" they should
appoint a committee to circulate
a petition for the recall Of the
present board.
There is nothing at this writ
ing to indicate that Benton coun-
ty has suffered from the flooded
Of the Yakima as much
as the territory further west.
Railroad bridges built Of steel
and foundations constructed by
the best engineers railroad COM
panies could obtain have been
washed out and ruined. We must
make the best Of it and repair
and reconstruct as fast as pos
,ible. The 81 told you so" OBJ
server is a familiar sight and
never fails to show up on such
as these. Honest crit
cism is all right and often help
ful, but such silly assertions as
you have INDUCED in tend only
TO aggravate and certainly can
serve no useful purpose.

editor Advocate, Richland-


Editor Advocate, Richland-
Will you kindly allow me a
little space in the next edition
of your news organ to comment
on the editorial in your last is
sue, with reference to the Rich
land bridge and the disaster con-
nected with it. Regarding your
personal allusion to myself |
could easily pass that by unno-
ticed, but when you make such
wholesale statements about the
integrity of the county board it
seems to me that some response
be Forthcoming. Furthermore,
II want to be distinctly under
stood as not attempting to ans
wer any charges brought against
the county board as it existed
previous to Jan. 1, 1917, but l
may say in passing that / cam
not, for the life Of me, see how
they had anything to do with the
disaster we are considering. Give
the devil his due. They have
enough outside the. bridge to
answer for, as see it.
And now for your editorial
and for the information Of the
taxpayers of Benton county, let
us make public a resume Of the
bridge affairs as they have taken
place since Jan. /, 1917. At that
time the present board found
that a contract had been let for
the construction of the Richland
bridge, that an engineer had been
engaged to superintend its erec-
ton, and furthermore, that most
of the timber for the bridge had
been cut and prepared ready for
its early completion. 1t also was
confronted with the fact that the
old bridge had been condemned
by engineers and a casual trip
over it by anyone left the i'm
preston that it was none too
safe for the travel it was called
on to carry. A little investiga-
tion of affairs developed the fact
that the proper resolutions had
not been passed by the old board
regarding the contract and the
county attorney decided that the
new board would have to confirm
the contract to make it binding.
The first impulse Of the new
board was to delay the letting of
the contract for a time and adj,
for other bids.
But, now comes post haste, a
delegation from Richland setting
forth the fact that delay would
be disasterous to the movement
of their crops and urging all pos
sible speed in its erection. On
this showing the board gave the
matter immediate consideration
and after as careful investiga-
ton as was possible, decided to
ratify the contract and let the
work proceed at once, which was
done. it turned out that the
bridge erected was a good one
and worth all the money it cost |
lin fact it could not be dupli-
