At the Council Meeting Thursday Night the Bid of the M»»8lllon Bridge Co. is Accepted. That the village trustees have acted wisely in regard to the bridg > proposi­ tion will be conceded by every conserv­ ative tax payer in McHenry. A steel bridge will remain for generations as a monument to the Itaergy and foresight of the present incumbents in the village Council, and will be enjoyed by the tax payers for years, without the yearly outlay for, repairs that the, wooden structure requires. At the meeting last Wednesday even­ ing six bids were opened, but owing to the lateness of the hour when the last agent had explained his specifications, the meeting adjourned until Thursday- evening. On this evening only the agents of the Massillon Bridge Com­ pany, of Ohio, and the Joliet Bridge and Iron Company put in an appear­ ance. They were given all the time necessary to explain their plans. The Specifications of the first mentioned company were the most complete and satisfactory, and after due deliberation was awarded the contract at $3197. The bridge to be built will be a solid and substantial structure. The abut­ ments will be constructed of Joliet or equally good limestone or sandstone, ^nidation courses are to be laid with selected, large, flat stone not less than twelve inches in thickness, nor of less superficial area than fifteen square feet, and shall project at least six inches on all sides. Joints on the face of the wall are to be broken at least twelve inches. The coping stones will be not less than twelve inches thick, and project not less than four inches over all exposed faces. Each coping stone will have an area of at least twelve square feet. When ex­ cavations are made and it is found nec­ essary to drive piles, they will be put in by the company at an additional cost of #526. The contractor agrees to remove the present old bridge and pile it in good order wherever the street committee may designate, and remove all false­ work >Vhen the bridge is1 completed'. The super-structure will Consist of one span sixty fe<pt, with a clear road­ way of twenty feet, and side walk on the west side five feet wide in tbe ete&ft The floor of the bridge will be three- inch white pine, and the floor of the side walk of two-inch white pine. 7he side walk will have a metal laticed railing at its outer edge. At each end of the bridge a heavy ornamental new­ el post will connect the railing, and in­ termediate posts will be used at each beam supporting the walk. All things considered the bridge will be One of the best that can be built if the specifications are followed. This company has built several bridges in this part of the country and they have been satisfactdVy. The bridges at .-Al­ gonquin and Elgin are samples of their work, The contract was drawn np and signed Thursday night, the contractors binding themselves to have the bridge finished by the 25th of December/unless there may be delays caused by strikes or other causes unavoidable.
