The people never expected that the
- bridge would cost the amount provided
by bonds. It was hoped that it could
be constructed for something like a
' million dollars and ths sudden procla
mation of ths city engineer that he
could do this did not create any vast
astonishment. Mr. Modjeskl never con
templated the expenditure of 2, 000, 000
either. Hia estimate tentatively fixing
the cost at $1,380,000 was a rough ono
and was purposely made on a liberal
scale. . ".

."The Idea of the promoters 'of the
high bridge In advocating a t,000.000
hnnd issue was to d re vent a repetition
of the trouble that ensued when th
Burnalde bridge was built. They wanted
to be sure to have enough money for
. all possible contingencies. Tne nurn
aide bridge was almost completed when
the contractors were estopped from
building the west approach. ' A law suit
followed and the case went to the su
preme court, 'the result being that the
eity was forced to pay aamages auiouni-lna-
to 1S0.OOO for orooerty taken' by tt.
"Another statement in a local paper
credited to Mr. Morris is tnat ne can
aave 180,000 by diverting the approach
on the west side from block "I" to
Seventh street As, everybody knows who
has read the Modjeskl' report and who
has heard the engineer's explanation of
it, the item referred to was for dam
ages that would have to be paid to
property owners on Seventh street by.
reason of the fact that the approach
would blockade the entrances to their
places of business. Mr. Modjeskt al-f
ways contemplated the use of Seventh
street for the approach but as an alter
nate plan he suggested that it would be
nice if the city could afford ; to build
over block T. .;,.-.. -: -
"After discussions at length on the
' subject It was estimated that the block
would cost the city $260,000, so the
alternative never met with much favor.
But Mr. Modjeski's figures of $80,000
damages for property owners on Bev-
enth street were conservative and the
city will not be able to get off by pay
ing 'any less.

a Journal reporter this morning, stated
emphatically that there would be no
