Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 160, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 July 1914 — COUNCIL PROVIDED FOR NEEDED BRIDGE [ARTICLE]

COUNCIL PROVIDED FOR NEEDED BRIDGE

Made Appropriation of $5,000 For Bridge Acron Iroquois Ditch at Work Street. The council council in session the first of the week made an appropriation for a bridge across the Iroquois ditch. at Work street, for which a petition was so generally signed by Rensselaer people several weeks ago. This will give us a bridge at a place very much needed and will prove of great convenience to both vehicle travelers and pedestrians. The bridge will be at the crossing near the H. R. Kurrie property, for which the approaches were made several years ago. The specifications call for a span of 80 feet, with a 16 foot roadway and a 5-tfoot sidewalk on each side. It is probable that the bridge can be completed yet 'this fall.
