Mr Chairman: 1 find upon investi
gation that it would cose $1000.00 to
repair the O Donnell bridge across the
Elkborn river and then we would still
have an old bridge which would re
quire further expenditure in a couple
of years, and And that it would be
more economical to build a new sieel
bridge at said crossing, said bridge to
be heavy enough to carry a cement
floor. This bridge should consist of
four 30 ft steel spans set upon steel
piling as a substructure. I therefore
move that as the old bridge is
absolutely closed to public travel, and
the public good requires immediate
action, and whereas an emergency
exists, that we proceed at once to let
a contract for the building of a new
steel hridge at said crossing as above
described.

Might Try It In Knox?
Cedar County News: Would you
like to have a man work for you for
his board, a high salaried man, a
trained expert recommended by the
government of the United States?
Well, that is what a county can have
it it wants to put in concrete bridges
and culverts. The office of public
roads, a division of the agricultural
department, will furnish the man If
the county will pay his board while
he Is on the job, preparing plans and
overseeing the work. Down at Ord,
Valley county, the county commis
sioners made this arrangement with
the office of public roads, and the re
sult was two reinforced concrete cul
verts at a total cost for the two of
less than 1175. The sand cost 50 cents
a load, teams 14.00 a day, foreman
•4.50, and oement 91.84 a barrel. The
office of public roads says, however,
that it would not state that It could
be done for so low a figure everywhere.
Perhops *200 or 9225 would be closer
to the average figure. Cheaper than
eteel pipe, and much better.
