FIVE SPAN STEEL STRUCT.
URE TO BE ERECTED
Engineer Hall of the Alaska
Road Commission, paid a brief
visit to„ the News office, prepar
atory to leaving here for Ju
neau, Mr. Hall has spent several
months designing bridges appli
cable to this propositon aud to
build a steel structure right a
cross the Nizina would cost a
million dollars, consequently this
idea had to be given up.
The latest design and the one
that will in all probability be
used, calls for a steel structure
875 feet in length, divided into
five 175 foot spans,
This will practically put one
over the river and from the end
of the of the steel structure pil
ing will be used to complete it.
The steel has been ordered &
unless some unforeseen contin
gency oecurs it will be freight
ed in this winter.
Besides being an engineer,
Mr. Hall served his apprentice
ship as a printer, but decided
that the construction of bridges
would be.more interesting than
type, _
Prior to leaving McCarthy
he and Con Miller made a flying
trip to the lower end of the Ni
zina River to ascertain the fall
and rise of the river and found
indications that the river raised
over twenty feet last summer.
JUST RECEIVED,
A fresh shipment of Bee f, Pork

Cheese, Fresh Ranch Eggs,
