tisement of bids to replace the washed-away structure. And the commissioners, Ray Peterson, Ray Capurro and E. J. Kleppe are just as happy as the semi-stranded families that relief will be afforded soon. By the middle of next week, bids for the 200 foot span across the lower reaches of the Truckee river in the historic town, will be advertised through the office of Hairy K.

Brown, Washoe county clerk. Interested contractors will be able to pick up plans and specifications for the bridge at the office of A. E. Holgate, county engineer at 1200 East Second by the middle of next week. Reports show the petition asks that the county construct at least a single lane vehicular bridge.

County specifications will be for the construction of a foot bridge only, but which will also carry the three-inch domestic water line, which, at present, hangs precariously inches above the flow of the now peaceful Truckee river. NEED FOOTBRIDGE Confronted with the foot bridge versus vehicular bridge issue today. Commissioner Ray Peterson said it was his understanding in previous discussions the need essentially for the construction of the foot bridge, so that the families could send their children to school and for a route into town. But the commissioner also stated that if it was deemed that the automobile span was needed, it would certainly be considered in the future. He said thathe foot bridge will be constructed with funds from the Federal Civil Defense Administration: The funds for the bridge are being made available as flood relief from the federal defense agency and apparently when investigated by that body, it was apparently deemed that an automobile crossing was not needed.

The county, says Commissioner Peterson, is in no position to finance construction of a larger bridge at the present. It has already had to cut $300,000 from its operating budget for the current fiscal period. But considereation of the matter in the future is certainly possible he concluded. The planned structure will be considerably higher than the ancient, wooden crossing it will replace. The pipeline will be securely strung alongside the span and will be repaired to proper standards.

The foot bridge will have no footings in the river, thus lessening any possibility of it being swept away during periods of high water.

W. A. Simonds, president of the New Frontier Corporation, said today that he and his associate, Harry Oeder-kirk, have leased the Royal Nevada Hotel to Maurice Friedman and T. W. Richardson, formerly of the New Frontier organization.

Simonds said the lease would take effect Nov. 1 and covers a three year period. It vas jported that Friedman and Richardson have had a "preliminary interview" with a state gaming control board representative and that the application for the gambling license at the hotel will be made today. The Royal Nevada has been operated by the New Frontier for the past several months but only as a hotel, without gambling and enteretainment. After a lavish opening in the Spring of 1955 the hotel closed at the first of the year and was dark for several months prior to the operation by the Frontier interests.
