From Saturday's Dally The new auto and wagon bridge over the Platte river four miles north of this city is now beginning to look like a real bridge and arter some two weeks of delay and annoying ac cidents to the piling and falsework, the work is now being gone after in real earnest and in a manner that will go a long ways toward having the bridge ready for travel on the date set for turning the bridge over to the company on September 1st. There are several forces of men working at the bridge, the Jetty gang being engaged in the construction of the false work at the south end of the bridge where it is daily being extended nearer to the Cass county side of the river. The work of this gang must bo kept at high speed to keep the way open for the driving of the remaining piles on which the bridge sturcture is to rest. Then are still a number of the bents to be placed in before the bridge is ready for the second stages of the work. A caterpillar tractor is being used to haul the six ton steel supports from the railroad lines to the bridge and which will require some little time to get all of the steel on hand. These supports on which the road way of the bridge will rest htrgely are to be started in to be laid very soon and wii;, wnen it is hca-cc-u, make it look like a real bridge. The construction of the concrete supports around the heavy steel pil ing will be taken up later it is stated. as tne concrete around ine piers can be placed at any time, even after the bridge is in service if necessary. The Economy Bridge Co., of Lin coln, has charge of the construction work and the company will make every effort to get the structure ready for travel on the date set forth in their contract, September 1st when the structure is supposed to be turn ed over by thorn to the King of Trails Bridge Co.
