May Build New Bridge Across the Platte River Commissioners of Cass and Sarpy Counties as Well as State De partment Favor Project. The old Platte river auto bridge at this place, now owned Jointly by the state and Cass and Sarpy counties, is a source of much concern as well as expense.. It has outlived its expect ancy and to keep it in a safe condi tion for traved neccesitates consider able expense on the part of the two counties and the state. On Wednesday of last week, Coun ty Commissioners Spangler, Gorder and Harris of Cass county met here with the commissioners of Sarpy county and F. L. Kleitsch, district engineer and the State Board of Pub lic Works and gave the old bridge a thorough examination, arriving at the conclusion that a new bridge would be necessary next year and accordingly will recommend the con struction of a permanent structure. The new bridge will be erected just east of the present bridge, so that the old one may serve while the new one is under construction. Instead of the numerous "turnouts" now in use, the new structure will be of sufficient width to permit of cars passing. The plan of raising funds for such a structure as is proposed will be carried out along the same lines of procedure as used in the erection of the King of Trails bridge at Platts mouth, which has but recently been made toll free, through the sale of stock, to be redeemed when sufficient funds have been raised by toll to pay for one-half of the construction cost, the state paying outright the other half. Then it will be turned over to the two counties and the state and opened for free travel to the public. This was the plan employed by the King of Trails Bridge company and the result was found to be very sat isfactory. Louisville Courier.
