BUSINESS ACTIVE I The Monroe Street Bridge I is Nearing Completion at This Time. QUARRY TO OPEN ■ And Twenty Men Will be Put to Work to Get Out the Stone. The work on the new Monroe I street bridge is now being rushed in I an effort to close it up before cold ’ weather sets in. This morning the I men began work on the placing of I the last ring in the west arch, which E when completed , will finish the I arches that are intended to bear the I loads. Following this the work of I building the forms for the baltis- ’ trades and the ornamental work will I be done and when they are poured I the bridge will practically he com- I plete, except the filling which will I have to be delayed until the bridge I work has dried sufficiently to bear I I the load. < It is thought that two or three ' I weeks will see the finishing of the I concrete work and with two or three I weeks more to cure properly the ' I work of filling may be started. This : will occupy several weeks and the bridge will then be ready for use. I This morning the Julius Haugk stone quarry opened in full force, following an enforced idleness of several weeks, during which the river has risen so often and so suddenly that it is well nigh impossible to pump the quarry out with any assurance of its being so the next morning. A large quantity of stone is needed at once and the work will be pushed as hard as possible. It is desired that at least twenty men be working and with the two or three months left in which the quarry may be safely kept open much work can be accomplished. — - fy., - ■ Vano Weaver visited in Ossian yesterday.
