. To Build Street Bridges.
"At th last meeting of , the
board of county commissioners
the contract for the construction
of the two bridges on the Rox
boro road was let to the Carolina
Construction company, of Bur
lington.' Th plans . for building the
bridges over Little River and
Mountain creek have been
changed. It was expected that
these two structures would be
made of steel and they were fig
uredjid'"" the contract awarded
severat'months ago to cost some
thing like $10,000. . This was re
garded as a low estimate and the
bill that the county would have
footed might have run as high as
$J2,000t By the change it is be
lieved that there will be as sub
stantial ' structure as - was first
bargained for aud it will cost
over the two streams, two seper
ate bridges of course, about
$7,000,1, - H
The bridges are to be made of
reinforced concrete. There will
be no steel about them but a solid
stone-Work in concrete that will
be used as pillars and floor-way.
It will probably be the only one
of its kind in the state, certainly
the only thing of its nature in
the section.
