The bridge was not only opened to- day, but will continue to be open dur ing the repairs of the next few weeks, and while the engineers still regard the I bridge as unsafe, and do not guarantee its safety, forhe present at least, loads as heavy as 7,000 pounds, including wugon and team will be permitted to pass. Today workmen are tightening the laterals in the center of the bridge, and replacing the beam under the first panel east of the center. With this cen ter section of the bridge strengthened, autos. with a gross weight of not more than 0,000 pounds will be permitted to cross, 300 feet apart. The regulations will require the same distance between wagons, with the gross weight of 7,000 pounds. Autos will slow down to 10 miles an hour, and wagons, four miles. In order to lighten the weight on the bridge, the sidewalk will be re moved, as the engineers feel that the reduced weights on the spans, by the re moving of the sidewalk, w ill add great ly to the safely of the bridge. The ends of the batter posts will be re-enforced with steel plates riveted on take care of tho deterioration of the chords.
