Want TABLETS
WITH HISTORICAL.
ONNEW bridge

A movement was put under way
by Geo. N, Wood, pioneer resident of
this city, for proper tablets for the
new bridge, which will carry inscrip-
tions telling important historical data
as we'll as useful information about
the new bridge. Mr. Wood has sug-
gested that this important detail Of
the new bridge should be taken up by
the local celebration committee with
the city, county and state authorities
to make sure. that it is properly nam
ed and fully described.
Gets Suggestions.
In addition to making inquiry To-
cally and creating sentiment for the
tablets on the bridge, Mr.. Wood wrote
to DesMoines, Ia, for copies of the
inscriptions on the four bridges
spanning the Des Moines river. A
letter from the librarian at Des-
Moines told Of the inscriptions.
Tells Information.
One tablet which is of interest to
the tourists as we'll as to the people
of Des Moines is on the Locust street
bridge, which might be done similar
ly here, Mr.. Wood suggests. It
reads UNITED States government es-
tablished military post at Racoon
Forks 1843. The original town of
Fort Des Moines Incorporated 7, 1857.
First ferry established at Fort Des-
Moines, Feb. /, 1847 First pom
toon bridge over Des Moines river at
Locust street, December /, 1856"
On either end of the same bridge is
another tablet containing this identi-
cal information: "This reinforced
concrete bridge builded 1908-1909, SOP
feet long, Sc feet wide, contained 12,-
900 barrels of Portland cement, 1O,-
600 cubic yards of broken stone and
gravel, 10000 pounds steel reinforce
ment. Cost $124,80O."
The sizes of the tablets on the
