FREE BRIDGE
ON THE WAY
The Finance Committee Adopts
the Report of the Sub?
committee. /
FIXES THE MAXIMUM COST
Also Provides That the Present
Site Shall be Acquired by
Condemnation.
The Finance Committee yesterday after?
noon favorably recommended to tho Coun?
cil the report of the subcommittee on
tho proposed free bridge between Man
cheater and Richmond, and adopted a
resolution offered by Mr.. Pollock, pro?
viding that the city proceed ^conjunc?
tion with Manchester to erect the bridge,
provided the cost shall not exceed *}1S0,000.
It Is ?also provided by the recommendation
of the Finance Commltl-eo that the pres?
ent site shall be acquired by condemna?
tion proceedings.
The report of the subcommittee, which
was adopted after considerable discus?
sion, is in part as follows:
The present Mayo'? Bridge and site t_n be
secured for 1127,000 In throe and one-half per
centum bonds, forming a part of the pro?
posed Issue of bonde by the two cities Jointly
for the purchase of Mayo'a. Bridge, site, rights
and privileges, and the construction of a new
bridge, an option now In forco to till? fitteci
expiring September 1, 1M4. being in hand.
Ksllmate? of the cost of a new bridge havo
been received with plane and sp?cifications
from the Concrete Steel Engineering Company,
of New York, and tho American Bridge Com?
pany, pi New York. ?
Tho Concreto Steel Engineering Company
proposes to build, In accordance with their
plans and speclfl?*atlons. a concrete ? bridgq
complete, twenty-three foot roadway, six fool
walkway, with assembles and accessories, us
per their estimate, with plans And specifica?
tions herewith filed for I105.3S4.14: for bridge
complete with twenty-six foot roadway and
six foot walkway, I107.M4.14.
The American Bridge Company proposes to
build a steel girder bridge complete, un?ier
their plann and specifications as herewith
filed, with twenty-three foot roadway and
sis foot walkway, with assembles and acceu
sories, for *>10S,54?.53; for bridge completo with
twenty-six foot roadway and six foot walk?
way. $118.444.5.*!.
Both estimates Include paving bridge and
street? leading to same for some distance, aleo
roadway and sidewalks on tho island, street
car tracks, electric light and trolley poles and
wire conduits and other necessaries to make
the whole complete.
Quite an Income.
Your subcommittee Is informed that the In?
come from street car traffic to the present
owners, prior to the time travel was diverted
to the Ninth Street Free Bridge on account
of the unsafe and unsatisfactory condition of
Mayo's Bridge, was between $S,00fl and $7,000
por annum. ,and from the privilege of running
wires $2.!???), making a total average income per
annum of about J9,(Wi. Tho Interest on $2??0(??.
tho proposed bond issue, at three and one-half
per centum per annum, will be $$."50, and
tho Income from the bridge. If no greater than
formerly, will be sufficient to meet this an?
nual expense. But -It is estimated that the
great increase la travel on the cars and thn
ultimate terminus of the Petersburg Electric
Line being fixed tn be In Richmond at
Fourteenth and Main Streets, will bring the
total Income up to an amount not only suffi?
cient to meet the annual Interest charge, hut
to provide a sinking fund which will retir?
the bonds Issued at the end of fifty years. As
a matter of investment, however, this Is not
all. Property on hoth sides of the river
will become more valuable, and the two
cities will reap tho benefit o? Increased taxa?
tion.
We desire to report that we have had the.
benefit of suggestions and co-operation from
Messrs. R. L. Patram, R. V. Owen, Charles
I* Pettltt, ,T. R. Perdue, George L. Hubahd.
W. B. Bradley nnd J, B. Rudd. representing
the Manchester City Assemhly. and also from
Messrs. S. M. Woodward and Henry XV. Wood,
of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, who
have been very active and energetic In fur?
nishing your subcommittee with much valuable
Information. .

LIVELY INTRREST
IN THE T.-D. OUTING
Thousands of votes are being cast, in
the Tee-Dee Outing Tours.Contest. Cou?
pons by the package come by mall, and
are deposited in tho ballot boxes at the
various stations.
Nearly all the contestants have, seem?
ingly arrived at the conclusion that the
oulckest and most satisfactory way to
pile up the votes by the hundred is to
get voting certificate?, aa this form of
ballots increase daily.
The way to get tho voting certificate is
to get friends and acquaintances to sub?
scribe to The Tlmes-Dlapat?h for ono
month or one year and to pay the sub?
scription price in advance.
A certificate is given one vote for every
two conta value of the amount paid In;
so, for ono month, at 5ft conta, a certifi?
cate good for 25 cents is issued, and for
one year's subscription, at six dollars, 300
votes, etc.
The Consolation Prize trip, announced
in last Sunday's papar has been recoived
with evident satisfaction, not only by
those who were-contestnnts on that ?into,
but It has. been the magnet to draw sev?
eral new contestants Into tho race.
T.no fact that all thoso. whu, at tlio
close of tho contest, while not liavlnu
enough votes to include thorn In tho lucl-rfy
fourteen, but who have not less than..
1,000 votes to their credit, will .have tin ?
equal chance at "unis magnificent ?rip, is
a splendid attraction.
Just think of the tri?;?.?Old Dominion to

In spiritual sciences thoy are showing marked
progress. In announcing his Intention to visit
America, tho professor stated that he did not
come to teach the American people, but to
learn from them. -What hut? especially hn
Iiresscii me during my visits to tho American
centers ot learning Is the largo amount ot i
money devoted to educational purposes, Som?
of their buildings aro truly magnificent. All
