Mount Auburn P.O
John T. Bradlee Esq.
Prest.
Dear Sir
I find two of the [?] and
the railing all so unsound that it will not pay
to replace.
I estimate cost of replacing [?], planking and
putting a railing of this pattern on at $115.00
[diagram: sideview of bridge] This form of railing is not so expensive as that
now on the bridge, and is certainly as useful.
The cost of an iron bridge I estimate as follows
4 Iron Beams of I section with a wooden flooring
3 inches thick, width of bridge 15 feet and with a
railing consisting of two (2) posts on each side
| and 3 bars across [diagram: sideview of steel bridge] | $225 |
|---|---|
| The bars are simply round from tube, painted | |
| the posts are of neat & simple design, about 4 inches | |
| diam. at bottom and less at top. | |
| Cost of changes in masonry, repairing road &c. | 50. |
| If, in addition to the railing across the bridge | $275 |
| it is desirable to continue the railing five or | |
| six feet beyond the bridge as each end, as in the | |
| old one, the cost will be increased | 75. |
| Total cost - estimated at | $350 |
