Spring Street Bridge Bids Sought Over Elk River
Mayor W W Wertz announced bids for the Spring street bridge over the Elk River will be advertised on July and the city considers issuing bonds to avoid a seven cent tax increase. State and city engineers have completed plans and the only delay is federal soundings verification. If bonds are used the annual tax for interest and sinking would be about 1 1/3 cents, otherwise the seven cent levy would apply for two years. The 27 foot wide steel structure includes two six foot sidewalks and aims to handle traffic for 25 years. Construction will proceed whether bond issues are approved or not.
