Although Justice officials have not

the matter, it appeared unlikely that
any drastic legal proceedings Will re-

COST Of UNDERPASS
NEAR TO S15O,0OO
Contractor Expected To Be
Under Way With Work
At Early Date

The contractor who submitted the
low lid for the new Henderson under
pass, and who is expected to get the
contract for the work is expected to
arrive here in a few days to make
preparations for starting work on the
project. Estimates are that it will re-
present an investment of close to
$3.50. 900, including all outlay.
F.. A. Triplett. of Chester, S. c., who
submitted the low bid, offered to do
the work for 1913. That, however,
does not include the portion OF the
lob to be done by the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, under whose tracks the
roadway will be constructed. These
items combined have been estimated
at approximately $12S,O00. Added to
that is the amount the city of Hen
derson will pay property owners for
land to be acquired for the underpass
construction on both sides of the rail-
road and of the streets involved.
1t is understood the Seaboard is
anxious to get along with its part of
the construction work, so as to be
over with it ,tefore the severe wealth
er of winter sets in. Whether the APP
breaches, the lowering of the streets
involved and other work can all be
done by that time is not certain. Some
time ago an estimate was made that
eight months would be necessary to
do the Job. That would throw the
completion date around the end of
March if work were started imme-
diately.
Adjustments have not been made by
the city with the property owners for
their land, or for damages to accrue
from the lower of the streets. COM
mittee of the City Council and the
city attorneys are at work on that
phase of the undertaking now.
