CITY ENGINEER JAIN'S REPORT ON PROPOSED REPAIR OR REBUILDING OF BRIDGES. Mr. Jain made an investigation and report on the Bradford Street Bridge. It would cost $750 for material, $600 for labor to make it usable and rideable and should it require re - flooring it would take another $500. The total cost would be between 1600 and 02000 and it would be difficult to ascertain until work was started on reconstruction. Sidewalks on each side would reduce the load to half its maximum, if no sidewalk was constructed it would be taking a chance on the double loading unless the piles, etc. were investigated. It was thought this would be a useless expenditure if the free- way went through, as this bridge had been closed off one or two years. Councilman Werder moved that this be dropped from the agenda, seconded by Councilman Jones. Mayor Britschgi state if the Broadway No. 3 project failed this would have to be reconsidered.
