Springfield Dec 11 An increase in the appraisement of the Alton bridge over which the St Louis Terminal railway runs from 125000 to 500000 will be made by the state board of equalization, per Attorney General W H Stead.

The attorney general holds that the natural channel is within 400 feet of the Missouri side and that portion on this side of the channel should be appraised in Illinois.
