THE COST LESS THAN $30,000.
For the
Construction
Bridges.
of
Both
The Bid or Mr. M. H. Kenl, or Scot
land BTclt ror Flint CIamh One. Only
$29,0711. '
The lowest bid for the construction of
the proposed bridges across Neute and
Trent rivers was that of Mr. H. S. Neal,
civil engincor and contractor, of Scotland
Neck. His bid for both bridges was only
2y,075.
The location of the bridges, if built is to
be as tollows:
The Trent river bridge will "run from
Craven street in New Berne to
the foot of the street in James Citv by the
A. & N. C. R. It. bridge. It will" b.i 8,-
575 feet (a little under half a mile hngth.
1 he point decided upon for the .Ncuse
river bridge is tho narrowest in Neusc
river except wheie it is too far away from
tho city to be deemed suitable. The site
selected is a point in Wm. Dunn's Hold,
just a little ways outside of the city limits
fur the terminus on the New Berne side.
and the Miller place for the terminus op
posite toe city..
This bridge will be 5,110 feet or fifteen-sixteenths
of a mile in length.
The brakes are to be built good and
strong,of first class material, all heart tim
ber lor the woodwork, nnd steel draws ot
the very latest and most approved pat
terns.
The draws are toLe4 feet in the
clear.
The road ways are to be 18 feet with
high side railings, aud the plank covering
is to be 1 1-2 mclies thick.
Mr. Neal built the bridg; at Washing
ton N. C. last year and has had much
experience at the work and was with the
Atlantic Coast Line for a long tiine
lie is equipped with tin- very best ap
pliances .to work cheaply, well ami
with dispatch and propose to give a goud
bond and n ''turnkey job."
The general impression has been tiiat
the cost of the bridges would bs much
above these figure.
The dread of the largo cost has
bnen oneol the main things against thorn.
Now it is seen that they can be built
so cheaply, moro even than hereto
fore will probably favor building them.
Mnte of the Nlemnrr Commodore.
Mr. Geo. II. Marlin tame up Tuesday
from Wilmington nud left in the afternoon
on tho steamer Mouse for his homo in
New York. Mr. Martin is mate of the
steamer Commotlore which was seized in
Wilmington mi the c.'iarge of being a
Cuban fillibustcrcr, and the arms found on
board held. The general sentiment is
that at the most thciM is nothing more
than suspicion against the Commodore
and men. II the charges prove true, gen
eral sympathy is with tlio boat because it
is witli the cause she was trying to aid, if
sue is reaiiy a ntnoiistcrer.
