MUELLER PRESENTS PLANS OF BRIDGE TO COUNTY BOARD FOR APPROVAL

Plans and specifications for the new $10,000 Main street bridge urate presented to oounty commissioners for approval at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Engineer Mueller. New Castle, said that plans for the $185,000 South G street bridge are being delayed because they are being constructed so that the Fame molds can be used on both bridges. He advised that bids be advertised for separately. In case commissioners accept the plan, bids for the Main street bridge vill be advertised for the last of next week. Expect Equally Lew Bids. It is thought that bids will be as low if contracts are let at different times as they would if both contracts were let at once because of the prospect of the contractor for the Main street bridge getting that for the O street structure. In event the contracts are granted to different firms, they would co-operate in the use of machinery, thus , cutting . down expenses. Representatives of several large contracting firms, some of which are expected to present bids on their own plans, were present when the plans were presented this afternoon. The commissioners will probably give little consideration to bids submitted on plans other than those prepared by Mueller. Tha sner.ifirationa call for either

stone or gravel as crude substance to be used in making concrete. Provides Three Large Spans. A profile representing the bridge as It looks when completed is attractive. Three large spans, 125 feet each in length, span the deepest part of the alley. There are two approach spans forty feet long at each end of the bridge. The new bridge will be forty feet shorter than the old one. Dirt which will be taken from the court

house basement when the coal bin is enlarged will be used to make the necessary fill at the east end. All arches which support the bridge

floor will rest on large pillars extending several feet above the ground and standing of solid foundations. The approach arches will be solid. The floor in the center of the bridge will rest on pillars built up separately and with open space between from the large central arches of concrete. The concrete work will be reinforced with stool Wide Roadway Provided. The roadway is forty-two feet from curb to curb. Room is provided for two street car and lnterurban tracks. The lnterurban company has agreed to pave between tracks with special brick. The city will probably agree to furnish the remainder of the flooring. Sidewalks on either side of the roadway will be eight feet wide. The sidewalks are planned on the cantilever order. Six feet of each sidewalk will rest on strong arms built out from the bridge structure proper. The banisters are of an attractive concrete design. Ornamental lighting posts of the same type recently installed along Main street will be erected along the curb line. The floor of the new bridge will slant with a two and one-half per cent, grade toward the east.

Results From Other Centers

Potato Prices in New York Slump; Early Relief in Sight for Richmond

Relief from the High Cost O Living Is in sight! Richmond grocers see the end of the era of highest prices for vegetables because of the coming of spring. They believe the men who have been hoarding potatoes and other vegetables will be forced to sjish their prices to dispose of their stock before the spring crop arrives from the south. Prices took a tumble in New York this week, but not in Richmond. Spuds are selling for from 20 to 60 cents higher a bushel here. Potatoes, which had been selling for 12 cents a pound in the metropolis, went down to five cents a pound, which is nearly a war-normal price. This is $3 a bushel. Speculators Lose Their Nerve. New York dealers say heavy shipments from the west and northwest will force the prices still lower. They declare the speculators are becoming afraid of losing their stock. ' Richmond has not felt the effect of the scare. Potatoes are selling for

about six cents a pound, prices ranging from $3.20 to $3.60. Other vegetables also have declined in the metropolis, but not in Richmond. However, Richmond dealers are not to blame, according to them, and the decline is expected to begin here next week. f A freeze in Florida recently has held prices on early vegetables up but other southern markets are expected to start shipments north soon.
