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.
