Rail STRIKE
CAUSES DELAY
IN ROAD WORK
Shertago Of Materials II Holding
Up Progress On State Aid
Roads,
(Special Correspondence.l


Geneseo, Aug. 4. = The Capital
Construction company Of Des
Moines. Iowa, which has the con-
tract for the construction of Sec
ton No. 3 Of Route of the state
bond issue hard roads is making
rapid progress. They are being
delayed on account Of a shortage
Of gravel, stone and cement, due to
the railroad strike. Officials of
the company are making a siren
uous effort to maintain regular
shipments.
An investigation of the work
shows that practically three miles
Of the hard surfacing has already
been accomplished. A two-mile
stretch extends south from the
Heeren corner south of Green
River, to the old Rock Island road
and then east past the farm home
OF John GoetZ. This is at a point
about 300 yards west of the Wood
school house. The hill west of the
Wood school house is being cut to
a much lower grade than was es-
tablished in the grading last year.
The entire bottom road from this
hill east to the Raschke hill is be-
ing filled and establishes a grade
several feet above that originally
planned. A large culvert is being
extended and the changes will
make q much better roadway. Sim
liar conditions exist at the Mineral
Creek bridge north to the Heeren
corner. This pike was raised three
feet before the concrete roadbed
was laid, eliminating the extreme
danger of flood waters.
The Capital Construction COM
pany is at present laying the road
bed on the road west from the
Heeren corner. They have begun
at the point where the Dunnegan
Co. finished their contract on Sec
ton No. 2. and have laid at least
one-half mile from that point They
have been able to lay $50 to 600
feet per day due to the short haul
of material and expect to reach the
Heeren corner and complete that
curve within a week, if needed ma
terials arrive.
With 2h miles now completed,
and three miles done by next week
the final three miles will be started
on or about Aug. 10. The work
then will be carried on beginning
at the western point of Section No.
4, where the Dunnegan Co. finished
west of this city. This is near the
Muensenberg corner on the Rock
Island road AZ miles west of Cen
eseo. Superintendent Smith of the
Capital company and State Inspec-
tor Smiley stated that they antici-
pated finished job about Oct. Is.
The road will be thrown open to
public use 80 days later. This al
lows from Aug. 10 to Oct. Is to fin
ish the final three miles of this
six mile contract
Inspector Smiley wishes to in
form the travelling public that
new detour has been laid out. Driv-
ing to the west from Geneseo, Mr..
Smiley stated, continue on the
hard road to the end at the Muen-
senberg corner. Turn south past
the two churches and continue
west following the detour signs.
Turn north as directed ON the road
which leads to the railroad cross
ing west Of Colona. The distance is
greater but the road is oiled all
the way and better time is possible.

BREWSTER FOR CONGRESS WRITES
LETTER.

To the Voters of the Thirteenth Con-
gressional District:
| am profoundly thankful to the
Democrats of thisDistrict for the hon
or of twice being the Democratic
nominee for Congress in the past. l
went down with my party in an I'M
surmountable and overwhelming land
slide, when the minds of many people
were in a state of confusion and In
rest by reason of Republican misrep-
resentation; but a new day has dawn
ed; they wanted a change and they
got it.
I am again seeking the Democratic
nomination for Congress and base my
claim to it on the unwritten rule of
Democracy to give a landslide victim
another chance, where the candidate
is without blame. l am assured that
l can be elected this time, by making
a stronger effort than ever before and
feel better prepared to wage a vigo-
rous heavy artillery campaign OF the
present Congressman than any one
else, for I know his record and the
tactics, tricks and turns he resorts to,
which are unknown in a measure to
my opponents.
Thanking the good women, as we'll
as the men, of the district for their
loyal support and friendship in the
past, and praying them to give me an
other chance, I am
Most sincerely,
ARTHUR 7. BREWSTER.

bridge erected, in this country and has
stood for many years as an engineer
ings marvel. Somewhat shadowed In
late times by the other bridges across
the East river. it has. nevertheless.
stood conspicuous. Millions have flowed
back and forth across the Queens
borough and Manhattan and He'll Gate
bridges. but the cid original span was
still the favorite of the big town.
From time to time the strain on the
bridge has reached the point where,
in the opinion Of engineers, 1t has been
excessive. and regulations have been
applied to lessen it. But it has never
been established that the bridge Is
really any weaker than when it was
erected, close upon half century ago.
1t is true that steel wires will some
time crystalline and it may be that
the great bundles Of wires that con-
stitute the cables and the suspending
lines have deteriorated under the con-
slant stress and vibration Of use. The
hope of all who ever visited New York
and appreciated the beauty Of that
graceful structure is that it will be
found stanch enough to stand in serv-
ice for many years to come. even If
i, is deemed wise to erect new bridges
near at hand to relieve it of part of
its burden.
