lars Now everyone who has ever built
anything knows that the final cost is in
variably much in excess of the prelimi-
nary estimate. This is particularly true
in all public works. For instance in the
case of so-called ''free" bridge built at
st. Louis, the preliminary estimate was
Three and One-half Million Dollars and
the bridge when completed cost over
Seven Millions, or DOUBLE the ORIGI-
NAL ESTIMATE.
Assuming the actual cost of the proposed
bridge at Omaha to be only S2,00O,0O0
and that bonds could be sold bearing
51afo interest, the.annual interest charge
alone would be $110,000.0O. Depreciation
or sinking fund would amount to $780,
100000 annually. Maintenance, lighting,
policing, ETC., would easily amount to
S40,O00.00 more annually making total
of at least S200,OOO.0O to be paid in the
form of increased taxes solely by the tax-
payers of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
Not a dollar of this large sum would be
contributed by the nonresident tourist.
The man or woman who owns only
small home in Omaha, or personal prop
erty of any kind upon which they pay
taxes, and who never 60 to Council Bluffs
in an automobile, would receive no bene-
fit whatever from a so-called "free"
bridge, but they would have to pay their
share of the burden through increased
taxes just the same.
WATCH FOR FURTHER "FREE'
BRIDGE FACTS.
Omaha daily bee., 1921-04-09
Talk No. lis "Free" Bridge Free

1t must be obvious to everybody that
bridges cost money to build, that they
cost money to maintain and to paint and
to police, and to light, and to keep free
from snow and ice in winter, and to sweep
and sprinkle in summer, therefore Some
body Has to Pay.
Under the "toll' plan only those who use
the bridge pay. And they pay in proper
ton to the amount of use they make of
the bridge. Those who do not use the
bridge at all pay nothing; those who use
it occasionally pay only a little; those
who use it daily pay more, while those
who cross it many times day with au-
tomobiles and trucks hauling merchar-
disc pay still more. This is as it should
be, just as we pay for our Water, Gas,
Electric Light, Street Car or Railroad
transportation or anything else we use.
Under the so-called "free" plan EVERY
TAXPAYER in Omaha would pay, re-
gardless Of whether he ever uses the
bridge or not and regardless of how sell
dom he may have occasion to cross it on
foot or in his automobile. And the tax
payers, collectively, would have to pay
larger amount annually for interest on
investment, sinking fund, maintenance
and operation of so-called "free" bridge
than they now pay in bridge tolls as we
shall show. ...>. 5-
The preliminary estimate of the bridge
engineer, retained by the city of Omaha,
is that the proposed bridge will cost One
Million, Four Hundred Thousand Dol
