FRISCO TO SPEND
SI 0,000 HERE
WILL PITT IN A CONCRETE
VIADUCT — A FOUR
MONTHS .JOB.
"I AM VERY PLEASED TO MEET YOU."
The Frisco ha^-been replacing
all wooden bridges and viaducts
with permanent and substantial
concrete structures. The work
has progressed as far as Daven-
port, and today we are inform-
ed the concrete gang of sixteen
men will immediately start to
work removing the large wood-
en viaduct just west of town near
the Santa Fe crossing.
This one viaduct will cost in
the neighborhood of $'0,000 and
will require four months to com-
plete the job. The plans call for
two large arches—one to cross
the county road, over the "Better
Way," which will be large enuff
to pernvt two wagons to pass;
the other to take care of the
water tiuejtion. The bed of the
stream at th'.s point vvi 1 be
straightened out and this wiH"do
away with the watov standing at
this point as in the past.
This viaduct will be quite an
improvement to our little city,
and we are lucky to have the
work done here.
