MORTON COUNTY
MEN APPEAR ON
BRIDGE MATTER
Temporary Fill on West Side
Held Necessary for Compile
tion of Project For Use

The matter Of providing a tempor-
ary fill at the west end of the Mis-
souri, river bridge was taken up be-
fore the state highway commission
yesterday afternoon at hearing
which was attended by commission
crs Of Morton county and number
OF citizens of Mandan.
aq4An agreement had been signed by
Morton county to provide the fill and
approach to the beginning Of the con-
crete work of the bridge. The Nor
ION county representatives asked that
causeway and road to Mandan be
built and included as a part OF the
bridge project. The hearing was held
because it was said the federal gov
ernment, which is paying part Of the
cost OF the bridge, insisted some ac-
ton be taken toward providing the
fill. ~ ~
Obstaces in the way of the proposed
new construction were found in the
state law. If made federal aid pro-
ject an appropriation would be neces-
sary from the Legislature to provide
for the. states share Of the fund.
Since the legislature does not meet
until next year no work could be COM
menced in anticipation of an appro-
priation. A temporary fill grade and
road will have to be lhade so that
the bridge may be used next summer,
as it is expected to be completed in
the spring. At the conclusion, a rep
resentative of the Mandan, men said
that if some proMsi0nS we're made for
the future it would be entirely agree
nble to Morton county to carry out
the agreement and provide for the
temporary fill.
1t was agreed to hold another meet
ing the day before the Good Roads
meeting opens next Tuesday, at which
there probably will be a representa-
tive of the government.
The length of the bridge from shore
pier to shore pier is. 1,443 feet, the
east approach is ATS feet and the west
approach is 622 feet, a total length
Of 2,543 feet A causeway at least
2,2OO feet long on the west end was
advocated by Mandan men. p. D..
Norton was spokesman for the Nor
ton county delegation.
