CONCRETE BRIDGE OVER RIVER MAY BE ORDER HERE I Contract for Construction of Re-Enforced Structure Let By the Committee. i — FIRST OF ITS KIND IN CITY. ► If Travis Street Bridge Meets Expectations Old Iron L t . Bridge Will Go. f A contract for the construction of a Re enforced concret bridge to span the River at the intersection of Travis Street, was awarded to the Leversedge Bridge company of Fort Worth, at a meeting of the river and bridge commit lee of the city council yesterday after- Yioon. The contract price for the im provement is $15,500. The agreement is eubject to the approval of the city coun- Bil, which will probably be obtained Ynext Monday afternoon.' The meeting was attended by Alder linen Mauermann, chairman of the Ifinance committee, and Menger and tKlaus of the river committee, repre iaenting the city. L. L. Leversedge, rep resenting the company, whose bid was favorably’reported upon, and H. L. Tul- Hock representing the Missouri Valley & iron.company, which concern win probably do the construction work, rwere present at the conference. The contract was awarded only after klity Engineer Pancoast had carefully jgone over the plans and specifications >of the bridge to be built by the Lever hedge company and after a few minor Suggestions as to the number of piles and their distribution had been agreed (upon. Some time has been spent in the (examination of the bid of this concern and the committee is thoroughly satis kfied with the type to be constructed. She bridge will be one span, 80 feet in length. The material will be re-en forced Concrete upon a piling founda tion, which will extend some fifteen or twenty feet to what is supposed to be a natural concrete foundation at this point on Travis street. The contractors will be ready to begin work thirty dajs after the contract has been signed. The members of the city council say ihat the re-enforced concrete bridge is an experiment in San Antonio. It is said that if it proves hero as satisfactory in every particular as in other cities, there is little doubt that the old iron bridge now in vogue will be replaced by the new type of bridge.

SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE k The bright thread of romance is often . woven into the dull gray of the work of the Humane society, and the busi ! nesslike report of the agent of the so- I ciety oftentimes covers a story of more than usual interest. The July report of Agent McCauley shows that five girls were placed in the House of Good Shepherd last month. One of these was the pretty Ifi year-old daughter of an eminently respectable family in San Antonio. She disappeared from home upon the refusal of permission by her parents to marry a young man, 22 or 23 years old, who had been paying her attention. When she was missing her parents were convinced she had eloped and her father notified the coun ty clerk not to issue a marriage license. Failing to.get track of the missing maiden the father asked the assistance of the Humane society and at their in stance the trains were watched. The couple was finally caught at the South ern Pacific depot just as they were about to board the train for Galveston to get married. Weeping and protesting the young lady was taken to the House of Good Shepherd in which she has been placed to meditate over her folly. According to the Humane Society Agent McCauley, the education of the public by the society is having its ef fect and the people of San Antonio are caring better for their horses, and only in extreme cases is it necessary to re sort to severe measures. During the past | month a conviction was had in the po- I lice court by the society in a case where a man who had been warned three times, was driving an emaciated horse. , The report of the society for tne month of July is as follows: Total number of calls requiring in vestigation of agent, 35; children re lieved by advice and warning. 7; girls placed in private homes, 2; girls placed in Good Shepherd convent, 5; runaway girls found and parents notified. 4; number of children involved, 20; cases referred to other sources, 2; cases passed for lack of evidence. 5. Animals relieved by warning drivers, 8; horses unfit for service, ordered out of harness, 5; animals (dogs) killed to end suffering, 2. < .» SIEGEL GOES TO NEW ORLEANS I ON DUTY WITH THE TEXAS Frank Siegel, formerly stationed in San Antonio as navy recruiting officer, and now at Dallas in the same capacity, has been ordered for active duty at New Orleans on the battleship Texas. The old war vessel, which has been out of commission for several years, has again been placed in service and in the years to come she will be stationed at New Orleans as a receiving and train ing ship for navy recruits. The Texas is now steaming from the Norfolk navy yards to New Orleans, after receiving general repairs, and navy officers state that the old war boat which did such valiant service at the battle of San tiago harbor in assisting in the de struction of Admiral Cevera’s fleet, will still be good for many years to come.
