D., April 12,—Another ef- fort for the immediate linking of east", ern and western South Dakota, by means of a permanent wagon bridge - is being made by the Pierre Commer- cial club, according to the recent an- nouncement of that organization. The club has obtained engineers’ figures showing the cost and feasibil- ity of the Chicago and Northwestern railway company planking the rail-, road bridge between this city and Fo:t Pierre and adopting a system of ‘tolls for vehicles and pedestrians. The plan, which will be submitted to railroad officials within y few weeks,,by a committee representing the club, call for the planking of the bridge by. the company, the construc- tion of toll gates at each end and the discontinuance of the ferry train. which makes the two’ mile run_be- tween the cities on a two hour sched-» ule during the day. According to the engineers figures, this ferry train service is not a paying proposition to the railroad company, while the toll system would be cap- able of showing a profit.. The two guards now stationed at each end of the bridge would be made the col- lectors of the. toll. The cities of Ft, Pierre and Pierre to be Present at Tonight’s Meeting x C. A.
