WOOD BRIDGES NOT FEASIBLE

Danish the thought of wood bridges and stand
out strongly Cor concrete structures and the inter-
est guarantee Demand concrete bridges. They will
really harden and become more enduring as the
years pass by instead of having to be replaced
every decade or so, as would certainly be the case
with wood structures.
Should wood bridges be built at the approx
mate cost of four million dollars, they would then
items: interest at per cent, $1,000; sinking
fund at 4 per cent, 100000; maintenance at A
per cent, 100000; operation, $4,000; insurance
and advertising $4,000
This is $4,000 more than is requested in the
interest guarantee of 100000 annually, and the
years.
In the concrete bridges we would get some
thing that would stand for ages, and would be in
perfect condition when automatically becoming the
property of the county twenty five years from
1t is generally conceded by contracting con-
deck bridges, such as found on the shorter water
spans of the oversee highway, are unquestionably
the cheapest in so far as the first cost is concern
ed But such structures, even if treated with pre-
servatives have very short life in salt water and
salt air, and the elements together with ahat de-
structive little insect the torredo, will completely
rot out the wooden piles between low and high
water IN from five to ten years. They also afford
less resistance to high winds than would concrete
structures.
But the greatest point in favor of the Turner
proposal for concrete bridges is that they are to be
completely constructed and in operation one year
before the interest guarantee clause would become
effective, and there can be but little reasonable
doubt that the tolls will be sufficient to entirel
Equidate the 100000 annual interest and a cash
amount over and above that sum
Key West, Monroe county and the Florida
Keys will enjoy the great era of prosperity that
the bridges are to bring. The bridges are to
De finished and operated one year without any
outlay on the part of the county, and there is
every probability that Monroe county may never
be called upon for any money in connection with
the toll bridges, yet they become the property of
the county in twenty-five years, and will be
tremendously valuable asset, perfect mint as
money-maker for all time to come
That is why the people of Key West are keen
", enthusiastically interested in the interest guar
antee and in concrete bridges. That is whv thew
are all, with negligible exceptions going to vote
YES in the referendum next Tuesday.
The future of Key West practically depends
on the outcome of Tuesdays referendum. That
is sufficient reason for The Citizen and every man
and woman really and unselfishly interested in the
welfare of their home town to cry out loudly the
tremendous Importance of the issue and urgently
appeal for solid vote of Eyes" next Tuesday.
