Foot Bridge Repaired.

The contract for the repair of the
foot bridge across Bayou Lafourche,
was awarded recently by the police
jury to Joseph Thiac, Well-knoWn and
/ enterprising lumber dealer Of this
city. He began the work last Monday
and completed the job Wednesday,; It
was found that the planks in the floor
of the bridge where the wheels of
automobiles and vehicles pass were
badly used up, while the same
planks, between the tracks made by
vehicles and at each. end on the OUT
side of the tracks, were in good con-
dition. The repairing was done by
placing two rows OF cypress pistI1ks I1f
two inches thick and four feet long
across each wheel track, and over
the entire length of the bridge,
which it is expected will last for a
long time. The frame work and
foundation of the structure are said
to be in good condition, and the re-
pairs made by Mr.. Thiac, while in.
tended to be temporary only, will it
is believed, make the bridge available
for traffic for. an indefinite period.
