Murphy, have been In the city ItllllMittOYKIt the past week THE getting ready to NORTH PLATTE begta the work on the new steel bridge 'that will carry the Burlington trains across the river at this plate The work will begin rirht away, and a big camp of workmen will be ostab lished near the river, about a mile from town. The cement foundations for the bridge will be for a double track, but the superstructure will be for I sin gle track for the present. The foun dations will be built under the pres ent bridge, that is, the east half of the foundation will be built directly under the present bridge, while the west half of the .foundation will sup port the single track superstructure. The old bridge will be used to carry materials and machinery used In the construction of the new structure and a temporary bridge will be built across the river, east of the old bridge to take care of the regular trains and traffic until the new bridge- is com plete. Mr Merram estimates that It will take in the neighborhood of fifteen months to complete the new bridge. If labor conditions get better, it will be completed sooner; and a change for the worse In labor conditions might delay It longer. From fifty to one hundred men will be employed In the building, consequently that num ber of men will be here something like fifteen months. The new bridge will be one of tbe beet that it is pos sible to build, and will bo so con structed that a change from a single to a double track will entail but com paratively little expense. The bridge will cost at least $150,000. and a further raise in the price of labor and material may make it cost much more. In connection with railroad work it might be said the railroad officials are saying that the round house that is being built is but the beginning of improvements that will eventually be built here. These Improvements will not come at once, buf when they are complete they will embrace a ma chine shop and large power house. wun many more side tracks and a large quantity of railroad equipment. Not all of the work can be done in one year, but it will be done continu ously and as fast as hte labor situa tion will permit. Bridgeport News-Blade.
