MONTEREY, FRIDAY NOV. IA, 1919

Work on the bridge at Meadow
Dale has been suspended until spring,
due to the delay in the shipment of
the necessary steel. 1t is understood
that the steel has been due to arrive
for some time, and had it been rece1V
ed two or three weeks ago, the time
would have been very short in when
TO complete the work before freezing
weather.
Highland has learned that extern
sive cement jobs cannot be put on
here until fall, and this fact should
be Immersed on the minds Of contrac-
tors in future. Contracts reaching
into Nov, if completed at all, are
at the risk of being damaged by
freezing weather.
Monterey learned this lesson a few
years ago in building cement pave
nent, all the walk put down in freez-
ing weather being lost.
The suspension Of work on .-e
bridge may cause little incoGTen-
fence to travel, but it is better to quit
than to take chances On damaged
and defective structure.
