n nu pi wt-re eagerly discussing the Bit

In fondly n umber to be spectator and
listen to the wisdom looked for upon
bridge construction. and especially the
i-cR)i t of the mayor and his party upon
their Insiiectlon tour to see concrete
UrhlRes. The chaii man, I'. K. Spencer,
culled the ml join md ineetlntf of coun

meeting hail been udjourned from last
Tuenduy evening, when the bids for
Halem. Sixth and the lilKhth avenue
liriilKca were opened ami further action
deferred pending investigation of cer
tain points not quite clear.
11. 1. Baker Introduced the following
resolution: "That the plans and speci
fications of the Melan arch style ot
iridne construction aa prepared by the
ctly engineer be adopted for the bridges
to be constructed at Salem avenue,
SSlxth avenue and Eighth avenue, city
of Carbondale. C. A. Kase seconded
the resolution. P. U. McDonough argued
that the plana for both styles be con
sidered, together, not one now and the
other again. If they wished to serve
the best interests of the city all people
ought to be treated alike.
The chuti mail thoutslit 11 perfectly
jiioper to adopt the plan.
K Wills loes that accept the
bid?
The chairman emphatically said no.
No motion to the effect pokn of by
Air. .McDonough was made.
Then tlie chairman upon calling for
Mayor ileiidrlrk'a itpeeoh. euloglrtfd the

trouble he hud tuken to InVPStlBute the
8tylc of Melan bridges In Newark and
Jersey City.
iluyor llentlrick said In substance:
"Mr. chairman and gentlemen of the
councils, 1 should like llrst to. pay my
respects to the sun-of-a-guii who is
the author of that article In Monday's
Hcrauton Tribune, which I presume you
have all seen." Then he went on in
no complimentary terms to vent his
oreuess at being properly exposed.
He gave a resume of his visit nf In
spection ami he stated that on Tuesday
evening he was let suttslied which
was the better bridge. He decided at
lila own expense to pay a visit and see
for himself. He scald that the steel
bridge men had told him some fairy
tales, us they doubtless did others.
They said concrete bridges would not
aland the climate and that there were
no concrete bridges in the world. Hut
the mayor, in his wonderful knowledge,
Knew that there were plenty of them.
te knew that the neurest was In Jer
sey ('II y ami he resolved to go uud see
them. One concrete bridge, carrying
two street car tracks, built since the
war. thirty years mko, hud replaced a
steel structure. It was placed on the
old foundation which is Mill as llrm us
ever. Then if a stone bridge hud been
built with that foundation it would
have been there yet. To this concrete
structure there Is 'no vibration. It is
like the everlasting hills. Then he fuv
orably commented upon a bridge in
l'lospent park, Brooklyn, and In a small
Jersey town, and concluded by saying
that as fur as Ills Investigation was
concerned, he was convinced thut the
concrete bridge was the best they could
build.
The mayor after this preface, fol
lowed concrete to the llabylonlnn duys,
und treuted the councilnien with a lec
ture gleaned from encyclopedias and
civil engineering mammls, which he
called authorities. He referred to the
Koiiuin pantheon, to a bridge In Wales,
built ISO years ago, and aqueducts still
KUimlvinir Home with water. Then he
suld that the bridge Is built largely of
labor employed there. They being the
steel and cement. We furnish every
thing else. The bridge company will
lenve between $10,000 to $12,000 of the
contract price In this city. He predict
ed hurd times to the workmen of this
city owing; to the continuation of the
coal barons. The money is needed in
the city.
Select Councilman McNnlty said he
hud not much to say, that he knew
Very little about cement or Iron. He
hud tested the Jersey City bridge and
found no vlbrutinn.
P. tl, McDonough thought the bridge
was a remarkably good bridge. It ull
depends on a good foundation, though.
If it were to settle the bridge will be a
total wreck. The bridges he had seen
were In good order. Messrs. Olennon,
)ilts and ('oh! en concurred that they
were nice bridges. Mr. Baker said, "as
far as I am concerned, Mr. Chairman,
it Isn't neceasury for me to see a thing
to be convinced. I have looked up the
subject In the encyclopedias and such

sending a telegram to the othVeis and
they replied It was so. The fact that
the Michigan Railway company was
building a six-track railroud bridge
there, sufficed to convince him.
A general conference ensued. In
which Messrs. Gardner, McDonough,
the mayor and the chairman participat
ed. The question of maintaining travel
was broached, and City Solicitor Stuart
gave It as his opinion that the councils
were not compelled to maintain travel

ed that he would go their bond If It wus
needed.

course, that this is rather au extraordinary way of selling instruments. It
means a large amount of outlying capital, but after twenty years of successful
busiuess we ean stand that, as our one desire Is to get rid of our Immense
tttock before the 29th duy of this monih. If we get cost price we're well
contented, but the fact is many Instruments are going for less money thau it
cost to build them, and it's just because we must either sell or tend them to a
storage warehouse, and we positively will not do the latter.
