The County Commissioners' Court has Just completed arrangements for the erection of a neat and substantial steel bridge across the Lucklamute River on. the Independence, Buena Vista and Benton County wagon road. When completed its total cost will amount to $4150. The Court is trying a new scheme In the manner of having work done, in the belief that money can be saved the county thereby. Heretofore such work was let by contract to the lowest bid der, but it is believed now that better work at less cost can be obtained by buying the material and hiring a com petent man to take charge ot the work I of putting it in place. Owing to the heavy damage by floods this spring, which washed out a good many of the old wooden structures Jn the county, the cost of bridges will be un usually heavy this year and next, and particular pains will be taken to lop off the expense wherever it can be done consistently. In the present In stance, the members of the court figure that they have saved about $1200 over the old method. Last year the Brunk bridge of 126-foot span waa erected at a cost of oyer $5000, while the new bridge, which. Is to be 140 feet In length, will be put in for $4150, as mentioned. In deciding the style of the structure the Court accepted the plans and spec ifications of the Atlas Bridge Com pany and their offer to furnish all of the steel material required, and to de liver it at Parker Station ready' to be put in place, for the sum of $3400, of which $3000 is to be paid in county warrants on delivery of material, the remainder to be paid upon completion of the bridge ready for travel, accord- games, as it is the plan of the League to do all or most of Its playing on the ing to the plans and specifications.
