CORSON'S INLET PROJECT OCCU-l PIES CENTER OF FLOOR, WITH & OTHER BRIDGES FILLING IN.tc MORE TIME— EXTENSIONS ARE.C GRANTED TO CONTRACTORS. |M 8| Bridges and rumors of bridges was t< the keynote of the regular bi-month- st ly meeting of tho Board of Chosen u Freeholders of Cape May County, P held at Caoe May Court, House on last Tuesday. Bridges took the floor w rbrht after the, reading of the min- b utes, and relinquished onlv in time for si the Freeholders to pay bills, and get b to their respective homes for late dinn<The center of interest was tho Cor- © son's Inlet Bridge, about which there a I was no little disagreement. Matters w I pertaining to it were thrashed out in v ! committee room for nearlv an hour, s and^were on the floor for open discussion equally as loiv. '1 Mr. DoBow, Construction Fotemanr for the Sutton-Corson Co. appeared before tho Board, requesting an ex>. tension of time on tho contract wit* the county for the building of tni. bridge. The time set for its comple Hon was the 'first of July, and th bridge was opened only In rough con i dition last Saturday, and has not ye i been officially opened- In order t ; not Interfere with summer traffic b finishin the upper structure of th bridpe now, the contractors asked fo • an extension to the 30th of Octobet nt ennfmrt call .

The provisions of tne concraci can cd for a penalty of $20 per day to b e -paid to the county. The questio n arose before the Freeholders whethe r this .penalty should be charged o r whether the extension of time without penalty, requested by Mr. D<v Bow should be granted. On this, tn«e Board Solit- Director Foster instnic^ - ed the Bridge Committee to go int 0 executive session with the ^ solicitor, antTat pt ^omc plan which wou. ,d focus the prdlRfjtion ^ 3 votc. the Board- The 'Coflmiltttb ^mh|ned in* session with the Solicitor thrc)3 quarters of an hour, and reported the following resolution for the consideration of the Board: That the Sutton-Corson Co. pay tfcc penalty of $20.00 per day as called fj>r by the contract, from July 1 to August I, all working days, making,' a total of $*180; that during the montoj; when tho heavy summer traffic pjrevailed, work should be done meduy on the substructure; and that the dfC** tension of time to October should bfc granted without further penalty bc- ; in^ charged. _ .The passage of this resolution imposing the fine on the Sutton-Corson . Co. was championed by Freeholder ! Norton, of Wilchvood, and ^Frcehold- : er EUiredge, of Cape 'May. Mr. Norton said in part, that an extension » for so long of time would look bad to ! the public, who wanted these bridges f completed on specified time; that . the Sutton-Corson Co., unlike other

companies who had been '^anted time I extension, had all fheir material on , hand, but nevertheless delayed work 1 for five weeks; add particularly that . J • the actual cost of the county in call- * iing special meetings and in paying in- !' jspcctors was more or as much as the , 'amount of the penalty, and that the * ! penalty, as it is' considered in the1 | contract, is in reality, liquidated dam- * .ages. These remarks were ably sec- I ! ended by Mrv.Eldre3ge, but the res- 1 olution was lost, by a votc of 8-6- Thei^ • surprise of the day came when mrm-j; • bers of the bridge committee, who J ,.had formulated the resolution, them-,1 • j selves voted against 1th passage. | The failure of the '.re solution putiJ ; " the board in the same' position that1, • they were before the session of the : brlgc committee. To settle the diffi- ' cully. Solicitor Palmer- W. Way sug- . gested that' the resolution be amend- ! cd so as to fine the contractor $10 per \ day, Instead of $20. The resolution . in this amended form, 1 passed the 1 r Board 9-5. 1 I

Now that this matter Was disposed : of, Mr. El dredge brought up the j question of the opening of. the bridge, which, he said, after all, was the; thing that most interested the poo-j pie of the county. - For^jnan Dclkrw was called on to state tho condition of the bridge, and whether or not it was safe for travel. He said (that it was safe as far as the capacity was con-, cemcd, but that the presence of the I derrick on the decking, and'thc loose planks on the bridge, would, be dan- : gerous at night for a careless driver. County Engineer Smith demurred on! issuing a certificate thaf the bridge . was ready for travel, saying! that he did not want that responsibility until the bridge was completed. Freeholder Pfelffer offered resolution authorizing the Bridge Committee to open 'the bridge officially. Mr. Anderson, of Wildwood, opposofi thus without an official certificate from the engineer. A vote on the resolution disclosed 11 affirmative, two negative, and one not voting. ; I To safeguard traffic on the bridge, the bridgetender has been imtructed to exercise more than ordinary care, while the Sutton-Corson Co. will put on a night watchman to safeguard crossing tourists. The bridge lis In safe condition, except for ohstrictions on the decking. \ More nridges Craythom -Nicker son Co. requested an extension of time on tho Richardson Channel Bridge, due to the fact that lumber for the project .did not arrive In time to complete on contract time. Tills extension v/as grunted.

The Holly Beach~B ridge and the Richardson Channel Bridge arc ver* nearly finished. The Corson Unlet bridge 5s now officially opened.
