Continued from psge One . the gradient s. of , the present bridge. The high bridge rould also entail the cost of building a retaining wall to
maintain the switch track now serving the brewery, and the cost of a via--duct approach just to thej west of First street to provide access to the structure from First street and the property of the Starr Piano company. There would also be entailed, property damages - on both sides of :. Main street from the C. & Ok railway tracks east; probably as far as the middle of the block between Second and Third streets. . How much such damages would amount to is difficult for me to determine, but certainly $10,000 or $15,000. I believe that the county would have to pay for the lowering of the grade as well as building the re
taining wall to maintain the brewery's switch track. This would add much more to the expense of a level bridge." Sit a lm Satisfactory. '
