DER CONSTRUCTION

WhitlatcA has succeeded in completing
six and the FIVE others are well along
toward completion. Most of these are
Reinforced Concrete culvert bridges
and the material used in their con-
strucuon is largely at hand ready for
use.
Government restrictions in The use
Of new material has had some eject in
the completion Of the work but as the
materials and supplies were bought
early in the season before matt2rs be-
came 50 stringent, the work has not
been seriously hampered and .Lere is
all probability that the entire work
win be finished before cold weather
comes on.
Application has been made 20 the
government authorities for the compile
ton Of the new highway bridge over
"North River north OF New sharon,
and as this is largely or structural
steel and both Mahaska and Powe-
shiek counties are interested in the
enterprise, Il has taken some tslne to
perfect the plans and get the project
under headway. This bridge takes the
place Of the one that was washed away
last Spring at The time OF the biz wat
er and il will be considerably heavier
imam the old one. Between the piers
. t,,,4 -, -, 4 j, 49,, s,Y,.u - IgQ fsef aud
there is an extra ESQ feet of tressle
work in the approaches at both ends.
AS soon as conditions will permit the
work on This bridge will be assumed
and the work is Of suck nature that
II can be done in winter.
Following are the locations Of new
bridges that have been under constIuc-
ton during the year:
