They expect to make returns on their investment, and they never have failed. SOUNDS GOOD, DOESN'T IT? Why not take a chance and buy a lot in the about 10 months. Twenty-nine Piers Needed. Twenty-nine piers will be required in the construction of the bridge and work on these will probably start next .month. The enormous plant Porter Bros, will require at Celilo will necessitate considerable assem bling, so that active construc tion work can hardly be started until the end of June. At this point the Columbia River is fil led with rocks with good sub-soil for foundation purposes, so the digging and blasting for the foundation will insure the bridge resting on :t solid foundation without an unusual depth having to be reached to obtain safe bottom The contract specilies lixed charges for a number of vary iiig. units.
