BUILD TWO BRIDGES MOW TO MAKE REAL SAVINGS SOUTH SIDE FM SAY

City Statistics

That the county could save thousands of dollars on the construction of the Main street bridge and the South Side bridge If the commissioners would decide to build both bridges and would let the contracts at the same time, Is the opinion ot property owners on the South Side who axe anxious to have the South Side, bridge built within the next few years. They argue that by next year the South Side bridge sinking fund will be almost large enough to pay for a bridge. This money cannot be used for any other purpose and since the bridge must be built it would be advisable to let "both contracts at once, allowing the contractors to offer a better price on both of them. Since the Main street bridge question took form there is considerable fear among the South Slders that the Ottamlssioners will shelve the south Me bridge problem for the time being because of the overshadowing importance of the Main street question.

commissioners, however, Insist that the south side bridge project will not be dropped as has been Intimated but that both bridges will be built within the next two or three years. Should the commissioners decide the first ot the year to build a bridge on the South . Side, the sinking fund would be available and by the time1 the bridge would be completed there would be enough) money, in the fund to pay for the structure. It is not believed that a . bridge will cost more than $125,000. The site has not been determined. The negotiations now pending between the county commissioners and the C. & O. railroad company relative to the change of the right of way through the city, will affect the site of the South Side bridge as well as the site of the Main street bridge. If the C. & O. railroad can be Induced to eliminate the grade crossing at Main street, the commissioners are considering the construction of a bridge built on a level.

MASS MEETING CALLED TO DISCUSS PIM FOR MAIN STREET BRIDGE

At an informal meeting of interest

ed' representative citizens of Rich

mond and vicinity, it was unanimously decided that in nrrtAr tn ha nf thA

greatest possible assistance to - the

Doara o county commissioners and to the county council, and to furnish a medium through -which the taxpayers may be able to express their wishes and preferences in reference to the construction of a permanent bridge to span the river at Main street, there should . be appointed a citizens committee of not less than one hundred men representing all parts of the county to assist in devising ways and means to construct a permanent concrete bridge in keeping with the history and importance of the great highway of which it is an Integral part and the extensive communities accommodated by such a structure. This action is in no sense intended to reflect on the integrity and ability of the commissioners or council, but to be of use to them in helping to overcome whatever difficulties may stand in- the way of the realization and consummation of a model structure that shall not only serve this generation but for generations to follow, in accordance with the wishes or the great majority of the taxpayers of the county. - By the construction of this kind of a bridge, it is believed it will not be long until the citizens will be able to secure not only, state but federal aid in the construction of . the greatest continental thoroughfare in all the worldr In order to perfect and complete these plans, it was decided to call a

meeting in the large dining room at the Westcott hotel for a noon luncheon on Wednesday next, December 28. It is expected from 100 to 200 men will be present on that occasion Service will begin promptly at. six - minutes after twelve o'clock.

GRIP EPIDEMIC CLAIMS VICTIMS NUMBERING 200

According to statements made by local physicians today there is an epidemic of grip spreading over the country and it has hit Richmond pretty hard it being estimated that physicians are attending over 200 people suffering from the disease. The epidemic is thought to have started in the east and spread rapidly westward begining to mow down its victims about two weeks ago. Physicians attribute the spread of the disease to the Inclement weather of the last two weeks. Richmond has been treated to every variety the weather man has. Rain, snow, and sleet with a few warm days intervening has boomed the stock of the doctors at the cost of much suffering on the part of those unfortunate enough to be stricken.
