Commissioners
Change Plans For
Stock Twp. Bridge

At their regular meeting Mon
day, the Noble county commits
sioners voted to rescind the pur-
chase of an all-welded steel truss
bridge from the Ohio Bridge Co.,
of Cambridge. The motion was
made by Commissioner F. c.
McNutt and seconded by c. K.
VanFosSen.
The original motion to con-
struct the bridge, which would
have been located in Stock town
ship, near Carlisle, was made
last week.
The reason given for the
change was that the offer SUBJ
mitted by the Cambridge firm
provided for the construction of
a bridge 90 feet long, whereas
it was established later that
bridge rs feet long would be suf-
ficient to span the creek area.
Last week the commissioners
had appropriated $4,000 to COM
plete the job. A change in the
plans will mean major savings
in the construction cost. All three
commissioners, F. c. McNutt,
c. K. VanFossen, and Ernest
Secrest voted yes" to rescind
the motion initiated last week.
