PROPOSITIONS B AND c


The estimated cost OF these
bridges Is very excessive as COM
pared with their cost in normal
times. due largely to the high cost
Of fabricated steel. which IL the
principal item in their construc-
ton For example. the estimated
cost OF the Montlake bridge when
first submitted TO the people sew
efaI years ago was $4,000. with
out approaches. rs compared with
. present estimated cost OF $780,
900. including approachca.
While both Of these bridges are
desirable. neither can be consid-
cred as an emergency need. and
we feel that the community can
better afford TO get along with
present bridge accommodations
than to construct additional
bridges at the present high cost.
Postponement OF bridge copstruc-
ton for another year or two
would probably result in the saw
ing of many thousands in the cost
OF each bridge.
The argument in favor of pro-
yiding public work for the en-
pIoyment OF local labor has little
effect in connection with these
proposed bridges. as the principal
cost IL in the fabricated steel.
and little local labor would be
employed, the bulk OF the money

From Nashville comes the news that
Vandy's offensive is fast approaching top

they have perfected system of attack

One thing is assured The Commodores

LOSES RESTIGE
The workout was secret in nature,
but Is possible to say the much-wanted
and much lamented offense shows signs
of being in fairly healthy state by next
Saturday. Floyd and Latham were both
on the field Wednesday, and they both
may be in shape to get in against Ala
bama, but neither is in the best OF con-
dition. Floyd has never fully recovered
from the jolt in the head that he picked
up in the Auburn tussle, and Latham
got a fearful kick at Lexington last
week Frank Goar will very likely not
be in shape for Vandy to get the benefit
of his wizard toe, for he still has stiff
knee and has not been able to get the
kinks out of it enough to allow him TO
kick with anything like usual form.
Hendricks is still being used as guard,
and will very likely get another try there
next time for he was green at the JOB
last week, and with additional work
ought to make a hummer in the line
Westgate is being used consistently at
end and may be seen there against Ala
bama, for he has been showing most OF
the things that a good end should ana
has been improving very rapidly under
coaching. He grabs forward passes with
ease, and vandy may want men who can
do that very thing before the next game
is over. Indications point to a regular
game Saturday from every angle.
