MONDAY, JULY 28,1919. ~ BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE PAGE 8 WORK UNDER WAY QN WAGON BRIDGE ACROSS MISSOURI Highway Commission Ratifies Contract Made With C. A. P. Turner STATE WILL SUPERVISE Plans and Specifications to Be Basis for Application for Federal Aid Preliminary work now is in progress on the million-dollar bridge which is to span the Missouri. The state high- way commission in conference with G. A. P. Turner, Minneapolis bridge engineer, and the bridge committee of the Burleigh and Morton county com- missions on Saturday afternoon rati- fied the contract entered into with Turner for the original engineering work which is to evolve a complete set of plans for the big structure. The question of contracting with Mr. Tur- ner for supervision of actual con- struction work on the big bridge was entered into but was not definitely disposed of. The Turner engineering company now has a man on the ground making soundings and surveys. The Turner plan contemplates a 28-foot roadway at either side of which space is to be left for a sidewalk for pedestrians. The state highway commission origi: ally favored a minimum width of 24 feet. Decision on this point will await the completion of the preliminary plans. The plan contemplates a gravel surfacing of the approaches from the Bismarck side and probably a con- crete causeway on the Mandan side, where construction, because of flood difficulties, must be of a more perma- nent nature. , . To Be 800 Feet Long The bridge proper will consist of two 404-foot spans resting on three huge piers, one on either side and one in the middle of the channel. The contract with Turner calls for all nec- essary plans and specifications, sur- veys, soundings and preliminary en- gineering data. Turner is to report to and do this work to the satisfaction of the state highway commission. His contract calls for approximately $5,000, which has been subscribed equally by the city commission of Bis- marek and the Morton county board. Should the state highway commission decide to ask federal aid on this pro- ject, and if the Turner company is awarded the general contract, Bis- marck and Morton county will be re- imbursed for the amount expended on preliminaries. | State Commission Behind It . “The state highway commission is definitely behind this project,” said State Engineer W. H. Robinson today. “There has not been an unfavorable expression from any member of the commission. All are agreed upon the neéd for the bridge. “Attorney General Langer has ruled that a specific appropriation must be made by the legislative assembly if the state is to participate in the con- struction of this bridge. In view of the sentiment expressed by counties on both sides of the river which have gone on record in this matter, there would seem to be little question as to the attitude “which the legislature would take if asked for a direct appro- 5 priation.” A bill authorizing the state to assist in ‘bridging streams which form the dividing line between two counties was passed by the last assembly, but the attorney general has ruled that no funds’ will be available under this act for spanning the Missouri, inasmuch as no specific appropriation for that purpose was made. SEWER CONTRACTS WILL BE AWARDED TONIGHT BY CITY Four Different Bids to Be Opened by Commissioners for Improvements The city co ioners will held an important meeting tonight when four bids for sewer construction will be! redd and contracts awarded. Besides this matter, City Assessor Morris will probably make a report on his visit to Fargo, Grand Forks and ‘Minot, where he studied the methods fol- lowed there in computing the as- sessed valuations of properties under the new law. The largest contract to be awarded ‘by the commissioners covers the con- struction of a trunk line sanitary and! storm sewer from Third street to the, river. This is estimaied to amount} to $60,000. The present trunk sewer | to the river is now running full, ac- cording to city officials, and the new sewer will take care of the south side and will do away with the ne- cessity of pumping the sewerage from the south side into the present sewer. Contract will also be awarded for the construction of the $9,000 storm) sewer through Park, Rosser and Broadway and other streets. The $1,200 sanitary sewer for Ave- nue C and Hannifin streets will also be awarded as well as the sewer con- nections for the vacant lots in pav- ing district No. 3. HORSE-OWNERS SELL ANIMALS AT A LOSS Marmath, July 28—The extreme) feed shortage has caused a condition of | the local horse market that has been} without precedent; but local horse) raisers have met the conditions with a stoicism that is obtaining results. Feed is so exceptionally short that) many of the cattle must be shipped eut this fall long before they are ripe for market; but in order to get them in ‘the best possible condition, and to save as many of them as possible as a nucleus for new herds when condi- tions improve, every spear of grass maust be saved; and this can only be @one by getting the horses off the one horse will eat as much grass as several head of le.

A feature of the game was a freak triple play which cut down a batting rally of the Tuttle sluggers which promised to bring defeat to the local nine. In the third inning, with a man on first and_ second, smashed the ball down the third base tine for what appeared to be a sure hit. third base and threw to first, making a double play. In the meantime, the man on first had reached second, but thinking that the hit was a foul, started to return to first. Tuttle Man Napping Cayou, playing first for Bismarck, d thrown the ball to Olsen, who was Olsen, secing the Tuttle pi ped the ball over to Cayou, who had Tuttlite. he batting of Norman was very br’ three-bagger, a double and two sin- gles in tiv at bat.

The success of the North Dakota plan has attracted wide atiention, and Mrs. Budlong has been much in demand to address conferences of librarians of state and national scope.
