Commissioners Will Meet to Discuss Future Bridge Building.

By appointment Prof. Smith, head of the engineering department of Purdue University, will meet the commissioners of Jasper county Wednesday and discuss with him future plans for bridge building. It is probable that Prof. Smith will submit plans that he considers suitwbjfe for bridges of various lengths and that these will be accepted, Instead of having different companies submit their own plans as has been heretofore done. It is probable that the commissioners will arrange with Prof. Smith oh with some engineer recommended by him, to report on all bridges in the future before payment is made, and also to superintend the construction.
