You will probably romombor that in this letter I notified you formnlly undor tho tortus of' our agreement with tho city rolnt lng to this bridgo that tho 90-day porlod mentioned in tho said agree ment had commenced to run by rca son of pedestrians using tho bridgo. Slnco writing you this lotter, In or der to call to your attention tho op eration of this 90-day limit, such bo rlouH and radical defects have arisen In connection with the bridgo that I am constrained to call your atten tion to Bomo of them, and violations of the contract relating to Its con struction. In tho first place tho plans and specifications. uuder which the bridgo wub built, and to which our agree ment specifically refers and stlpu lates shall govern our payments un der our agreement with tho city, havo not been fulfilled nor carried out, in that tho roadway provided for In said plans and specifications is as much as 18 inches narrowor than provided for. Secondly, tho foot walk called for by tho plans and specifications is so constructed as to utterly fall of ac complishing what It was designed to do, namely: Furnish a walk to one side of the roadway six feet wide. It Is absolutely essential and necessary (if it is possible to bo provide) to have the walk connected to the em bankment by nomo kind of a bridg ing arrangement, for tho reason that the wing walls on tho west sldo of tho bridgo aro not designed to retain the fill or embankment coming up to tho bridge, except for tho baro width of tho roadway, approximately 22 feet wide. Thirdly, the bridgo is structurally weak, la that the foundations havo not tho requisite depth as demon strated by conditions now existing, namely: A complete and thorough Tho bill Introduced by Senator Kay providing for tho transporta tion of priHonors to tho ponttontlary by guards from tho prison, Instcnd of by tho BhorlffB, wns killed In tho aon nto thlB morning by n voto of 22 to 5 Tho bill wns Introduced In tho in terest of economy. It was shown to tho commlttco that a ulmllnr bill, en acted two years ago for tho aBylum, Is saving 50 por cent of tho cost, nnd thin was estimated to savo nbout 40 por cent. It wns recommended by tho coventor, nnd that caused It to loso somo votes. Bench plainly snld his objection was Hint ho wns qp posed to building up n mnchlno around tho Btato Institutions. Blng- linni unlit It. vnn nn nffnrt in mlllr tlin j Btato in favor ot Salem. Whenldon Baia no wnB opposed to it uocauso it took somo of tho emoluments from tho BlmrlffB. - Slchel mild Homothlfig wna wrong in auditing tho oxpouso blllfl of tho shorirfs, ami not with tho law. Not tingham took tho samo vlow. Mullt favored tho hill, nnd said undor tho present systom It cost $8 to get n Marlon county prisoner to tho pen, when Ik should cost only 15 cents, nnd that for car faro. Kay made two Btroug speeches for tho hill. Ho Bald ho was asked to bo sponsor hecauso Marlon county's sheriff got less graft out of tho sys-' tern than any other county, nnd ho to this com- undormlnlng of tho northwest wing wall of tho bridgo and a partial un dormlnlng of tho uialn foundation arch; also tho northonHt sldo and corner, leaving tho entire wing wall susponded and practically held In placo by tho woodon forma which aro attached to tho balanceof tho bridgo and partially attached to tho woodon structuro belonging pnny. Tlicro are other matters In connec tion with the bridgo which are not In accordance with good construc tion methods, nnd on tho whole It docs not conform either to tho Intent of the plans and specifications, which tho contractors ussurcd both tho city and ourselves would govern , tho matter In a largo measure, nor to tho written lottor of tho ngrcemont between tho city and tho contracting company, or tho specifications writ ton thereunder, nor to tho intent and requirements of tho contrnct between this cornpany and tho city, which wns written and agreed to upon tho strength of tho nsauranccs and writ ten promises of tho city contractor. After mature consideration of this concrete arch bridgo problem with tho city I am placing tho company which I represent on a footing whero tho city nnd tho public, with whom wo aro doing business, and who aro Buffering by reason of this bridgo not being completed, will understand pur attitude. Wo havo no dealro in giving you those formal notices to shirk any of our legitimate obliga tions under our agrcomont, but wo aro losing a sum of money every day that wo aro deprived of tho uso or the bridge, aro inconveniencing tho patrons and tho public who llvo In tho northern part of tho city. Under our agreement wo aro entitled to de. mand tho uso of tho bridgo within the period ot 90 days after pedes trians commenso to uso tho samo. We do not bollevo that either the city or ourselves are getting or stand any ehnnco of getting, undor tho present sltuntlon, what we contract ed for, nnd whon the 90-day period has expired, and wo are free to act Independent of our written obliga tion, nnd undor tho limitations of tho samo, then and In that event wo feel that somo plan will huvo to bo adopted or somo stops taken In ordor that our Iohh may ho stopped and tho public and our patrons may bo served to tholr convenience and ad vantage. Wlml the Contractors Bay, J. G. Smart, repreHonting tho nun- oral Contracting Company, of 1'ort 'land, who aro putting in tho bridgo was Been this morning, and suys tho abutment on tho north sldo Is per fectly sound. "No wntor has ever boon undor it as yet. Tho northoust wing wall is undermined somo. The rest of tho work has been dono ac cording to npoclflcAtionH, Wo havo carried out tho contract to tho lot tor. Thoro was nothing definitely stated In tho specifications as to how far the foundations wero to bo put down. Wo used our best judgment as to that, nnd if any inlatako has beep mado tho city council is a much to blnmo ns wo are tho sped flcatlonx wero gotten up nnd ap proved by tho council." They be lieve tho matter can bo adjusted and settled without a lawsuit. Chicago Market. Chicago, Feb. 6. Wheat 1Q 78, corn 40 0 40 "54, oats 39j3 40 tf. Dr. J. P.
