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
