Mayor Ashton asked City Council to fix a definite starting rate for laborers in all departments of the city. The mayor complained that some departments hire laborers at one rate and others at another. "I was under the impression that the starting rate was $2.22 an hour," Ashton said.

"But man was hired last week for later was lowered to $2.40. Why is he starting at a higher rate?" John Beck of the city engineer's department, who is a spokesman for the Municipal Employes Union, told Ashton city's starting rate for all laborers is $2.40. "Every laborer we've hired this year has started at Beck said. Ashton asked for a list of "everybody hired this year and at what rate. "We'll straighten it out at next Thursday's meeting," he said.

Work, will begin in October, the project sched-, uled for completion within to 3 years.

The information was revealed yesterday by F. Karl Witherow, District 5 engineer for the State Highways Department. Sanders and Thomas, Philadelphia consulting engineering firm, have submitted the detailed designs for the span to the central office of the State Highways Department, he said. Presently the agency is preparing the plans for advertising of bids, Witherow added. Usually it takes about 10 days for officials to review the bids before formal contracts are awarded, he said.

The proposed four-lane bridge will replace the present twolane span which was opened originally Aug. 21, 1867. The ravages of wear and weather on the wood iron structure made repairs and reconstruction necessary from time to time. The existing structure will remain in use until two lanes of the new span are completed, then traffic will be diverted onto the new roadway while the old span is dismantled, Witherow stated. Medial lighting will be one of the newest innovations incorporated in the proposed structure.
