On October 2, 1911, County Engineer John W, Mueller made a complete and exhaustive report of the condition of the Main street bridge and also certain recommendations that had they been followed out by the city officials, would have prolonged th life of the structure from twelve to fifteen years. In his report the engineer said further: "A stress diagram shows the bridge was designed to carry light street car traffic only and when loaded with the present Interurban cars which weigh from 40 to 50 tons with full passenger load, it can easily be estimated that the bridge is carrying a 30 per cent overload under present conditions. At that time the steel girders had commenced to rust and peel off, but the expenditure of a few hundred dollars by the city in repairs and paint the people of the county would be saved $60,000 or more which it will take to build a new bridge. At that time Engineer Mueller was instructed by the county commissioners to make a careful examination and his report disclosed the following: 1. A disintegration of the steel construction. 2. The absence of a drainage system under the tracks of the traction company.

- ' . - ... 3. An unbalanced loading, caused by heavy Interurban car traffic on the extreme south of the roadway. 4. The presence of numerous copper feed wires carrying a heavy voltage of electric currents. The oxidation or rusting of the steel construction was in an advanced stage when the Engineer made hi3 examination and he recommended that a new system of drainage be installed and that all electric wires be removed at least fifty feet away from the structure, because the wires were not properly insulated and a certain amount of electricity escaped and caused an electrolytic action which had a large' share in the deterioration of the bridge. The report further stated that the bridge could be saved for years if the rust was scraped off with wire brushes and a heavy coating of linseed oil applied, followed by two heavy coats of red lead. This with a proper drainage system would preserve the bridge for- at least twelve years. He also recommended that a coating of paint be applied every four years. How much attention was given to

the report of the enginee may be gained from the fact that the bridge has not been painted since 1903.

$202,020 IS NEEDED TO CONDUCT COUNTY AFFAIRS NEXT YEAR

County expenses as estimated from the requisition sheets of tbe county commissioners and the county officials will exceed last year's estimate by $50,000. There is included in this, however, a refund of $"0,000 to the outh side bridge sinking fund, which, although it is an appropriation, merely signifies the transferring of money from one fund to another, and is not money spent. The total estimate for county expenses next year is $202,020. 23. A recommendation asking the county council to appropriate this amount will be made September 7. The estimate of the county commissioners alone is $84,353.47. Next year the last installment of the court house 'onds will be paid off, requiring an appropriation of ?2n,92t. Last year the total estimate was $150,000.
