Written In Spanish, penned by a rich

prison by a priest, this missive telling
how Nlcoial can easily earn $56,00 by
helping a blood relative In his time of
dire need, is believed to be duplicated.

at Once
Foreman Stutsman Gives More
Details Concerning Dangerous
Conditions of Bridge, Over
Whloh Heavy Trsffic Passes
Every Hour of ths Day.
Aroused by the statement of the con
dition of the Buinside street bridge
printed In The Journal on Saturday aft
ernoon and Sunday morning, City En
gineer Taylor will Immediately make an
examination of the 1,600 feet of defec
tive piling on fhe east approach of the
bridge to determine for himself whether
or not tbe structure le safe for the
heavy traffic which continually passes
over It.
Bridge Engineer Harry Stutsman,
while deploring the excitement caused
by the publication of the facts concern
ing the bridge, rays that the repairs
will have to be msde In a short time to
Insure the safety of the structure. To
day he spoke sgain of the defective por
tions that demand attention.
ad to See Special Spikes
"When the representative of The
Journal oome to me on Saturday," said
Mr. Stutsman. "T took him down on the
draw-protecting pier snd snowed him
the condition of the piling.
"Tbe piling work was put in some 14
years ago and ts new So losses that
when IS became necessary to revlaos
seats of tbe planking along ths sides
special spikes IS inches long and to be
preoured et a blacksmith Shop before
they would bold. Tale work win go
out with tbe Sre I ltfga wstor. nt say
opinion, set ft swayed and wewSrsd dor
ln the high water of last winter.
"It will coSt some 180.000 to replace
this protection, owing to fhe depth of
the water and the consequent great
length of the piles. This piling Is put
In aa a protection to tbe draw when
open and as a protection to the steel
draw pier from collision and drift.
Without it a vessel passing throufch the
draw, If It sheered from its course,
would run Into the draw or the pier."
Mr. Stutsman also ssld that this pro
tecting pier had been built at a later
time than the approachee of the bridge.
The bridge was put In operation by the
opening of the draw about 14 years
ago, but the approaches had been build
ing some time before the reel comple
tion of the structure, so that the piling
of the approachee was in fact older than
that now ready to be washed out from
around the draw pier.
Where Bopalre Ars Weeded
The 1,600 feet of piling st the east
end Is that portion of tbe structure
which IS moil needful of attention, ac
cording to Mr Stutsman, for here the
14 or 15-year-old piling supports night
and day the abnormally heavy traffic
which is continually passing over the
bridge. These plies sre about 50 feet
In length above the ground snd It Is
safe to presume thst they are badly de
cayed if thdse of the middle pier ere so
rotten as to be in danger of being
washed out by the first high water.
It is true that about a year ago. some
temporary repairs were msde to ths
eest approach, but this wsS simply
decking and a new stringer or so, which
put ths upper surface of the bridge in
good condition but left the rotting plies
to Support the added weight of the
heavier deck.
Two years ago the weet approach of
the bridge was repaired, at which time

Unless the exporters stand out for

After a long conference with their at

The concession means thst 20 weigh
