VOTES $300,000 FOR NEW WHITE RIVER BRIDGE County Council Takes Action to Balk'Floods at North - western Avenue. Plans were under way today for the calling of a special meeting of the county council in the near future to pass an ordinance authorizing the sale of .$300,00 worth of road improvement bonds bearing not to exceed 5 per cent interest. The council yesterday authorized an appropriation of $300,000 for the building of anew bridge over White river at Northwestern aTer.ue. This appropyation is in addition to $130,000 appropriated by the council some months ago for raising the height iof the present bridge and raising tbe level. • At the meeting yesterday, Commissioner .Toseph Hayes admitted to the board that a mistake had been made in issuing a contract for raising the present brldgp. PERIL, IN FIRST iIIGH WATER. Attorney Emsley Johnson appeared in behalf of the taxpayers and landowners ot that district, and declared that only anew bridge placed above the flooo stage would remedy conditions. “If anew bridge is not installed the first high water will destroy $75,000 worth of improved roads, and I do not intend to take any part of the blame o hlch will fall upon county authorities for a possible waste of the taxpayers' money,” said Commissioner Haves. Hayes said he was willing to take his share of the responsibility in granting a contract which did not remedy conditions, hut he refused to be a party to any dilatory tactics which might result in the complete destruction of thousands of dollars' worth of iinproyed roads. PRESENT BRIDGE to be Moved. The county couneilmen after much discussion decided that it is imperative to remedy this condition before the contractor began work on raising the present bridge. The bridge which now spans the White river will be placed elsewhere in the county where anew bridge is needed. Commissioner Cariin Sffiank expressed a similar view to that of Commissioner Hayes. For years residents in the neighborhood have complained to the commissioners and the council that in flood times they are compelled to ford the river because the present bridge is cov ered with water. The residents of that district will be given a chance to purchase these ini provement bonds so that the work of installing anew bridge can be started as soon as bids are advertised and granted. Famous Alaskan Town Again Booms SEWARD. Alaska. March 19.—Seward is booming. The town once famous as the habitat of Klondike miners returning from their gold harvest is now growing into a city of considerable importance in the northland. Trade is springing up with renewed vigor. Two trains a week now run between Anchorage and Reward, making the difficult 123 miles in seven hours. The secret of its mart is said to he in the thousands of tons of Matanuska coal that now passes through Seward daily. This coal has recently been tested by the United States collier Saturn and reports that Matanuska coal is fine for steamship purposes.
