PAGE TWELVE THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, FRIDAY, DEC. 24, 1915 BUILD TWO BRIDGES MOW TO MAKE REAL SAVINGS SOUTH SIDE FM SAY City Statistics That the county could save thou sands of dollars on the construction of the Main street bridge and the South Side bridge If the commissioners would decide to build both bridges and would let the contracts at the same time, Is the opinion ot property owners on the South Side who axe anxious to have the South Side, bridge built within the next few years. They argue that by next year the South Side bridge sinking fund will be al most large enough to pay for a bridge. This money cannot be used for any other purpose and since the bridge must be built it would be advisable to let "both contracts at once, allowing the contractors to offer a better price on both of them. Since the Main street bridge ques tion took form there is considerable fear among the South Slders that the Ottamlssioners will shelve the south Me bridge problem for the time being because of the overshadowing import ance of the Main street question.

Should the commissioners decide the first ot the year to build a bridge on the South . Side, the sinking fund would be available and by the time1 the bridge would be completed there would be enough) money, in the fund to pay for the structure. It is not believed that a . bridge will cost more than $125,000. The site has not been determined. The negotiations now pending be tween the county commissioners and the C. & O. railroad company relative to the change of the right of way through the city, will affect the site of the South Side bridge as well as the site of the Main street bridge. If the C. & O. railroad can be Induced to eliminate the grade crossing at Main street, the commissioners are consider ing the construction of a bridge built on a level.
