Letter From Judge Denison on Stone
And Concrete Bridge And Cul-
verts For Craig County.
Editor Chieftain: 1 have noticed
w ith a good deal of pleasure the many
editorials in your paper advocating the
use in the construction of bridges of
concrete or stone. Just at this time
there is hardly any one thing that I
of more Importance to the people of
this county and in fact to all the
people of this state.
Now that we are right at the be-
tinning of bridge building It is most
desirable that a thorough study be
made of the subject and the very best
plan adopted.
Ab to very many of the stream and
draws that hwd to be spanned If not
all of the streams this cn be done
by the building of brldjrcs Mid tilVei ts
of either Btone or cwwCrete. it it
should be found that bridges art cul-
verts composed out f these materials
cost more in the first instance than
they would if 'ccwswueted 'ft wood
iron or steel "tKMi hou1d n 'be de-
cisive of the matter. It is iwt a ques-
tion solely of the first cMK of Buch
improvements Twit rather question
of -what is 'true -economy toi 'the- long
run in the expenditure of public
moneys for thwse irriprovrtiients.
The experience in 'Old?r eommuni-
ties proves that bridges amd culverts
inrnneiHv eonstrurtted. of stone
or concrete fco not -WSftfci away wtann-
the floods oume -or 'deteriorate from
the action of the elements do not iwmju
painting and constant ivpairs but last
always and ilmprore lifl age and toe
sides are nlways move in keeiuiig
with their natural surroundings. That
.game espeir'nce !prowi' that brides
and culverts built of wood or iron
or steel do wash away with the Roob
require constant paintwg and rvpiiitp-
ing do rest rot and wear out aU
in a comparatively sbomt. time a few
years at most' -become Absolutely dan-
gerous and toen wortkWss and but
to be replace j. Letith; good worfc
go on and may the county commf-
sioners of Ctetig county tfcive to t!e
