The company's plnn. was for a drawspan giving open ings 106 feet In the clear. The com- mlainn asked for openings of t feet. In the Interests of navigation. The rail rosd company -wished to concede any thing reasonable in tha Interests of the port, snd conceded -the- requirement -for a long drawspan. The commission wanted a largo basin created above the proposed bridge and the channel main tained. -The company was willing to concede- thst eiich a- basin,- might . be beneficial to navigation intercuts, and accepted the task of dredging a J no-foot baaln. But In view of the fact that the port commission' would have to keep a 109-foot clear channel whether the bridge were built or not, the company waa not willing to assume the expense of maintenance of more than one halt of the channel. The commission's demands were met by an offer from the company to pay one half of the snnual expense of main taining the channel.-such expenee not to exceed I1.S00 for the railroad company's share tn any one year. The company had alee acveptoti the commission's plan for an elaborate system of signals for operation of the" bridge and protection of navigation.
