With the Dravo people handling (ho bridge building it means that the construction work will go ahead the delays met sometimes due to financial 'difficulties. In mnriy Instances where local companies with numerous subscribers start on such UK projects the movement after progressing to certain stages falls due to luck of tiutioient fumls. All this is to avoided with sue!) a firm' as the Dravo Company backing: the project, 'r. 1'ack suys. Details' as to how local people will be interested in the finnncinlly' will be made in due time by the builders.

The preliminary, work," vors and preparing of plans and spec- ifimtions are. left In the hands of Hipineering experts who work hand hand with the Drivo people. Working Out Plans It was stated a a definite plans for the bridge, the approximate nist of such a structure as is tle.sired at this point, and. otbet engineering have' not been worked out but vvnuUl be in very short time, since the orition has been exercised. The Drnvt) Contracting Company Is well known in this section of the Kiuiilry.

Announcement that they Ken interestel in the bridge pro- ject and had beeiTworkins with the Fullertqii-Portsmoutb, 'Bridge ConV- panj- puts, nn end to the rumor that a Pittsburgh real syndicate was bact of the option. The piers for the C. O. bridge at Sclotoville were.built by the Dravo firm as were those for. the Iroriton-RuseeU bridge.

They are contractors on the Ohio river dam below Vnnceburg and have had big bridge jobs In and nruml Pittsburgh nnd in -the East.

Charles C. Ke'arns for another term as congressman from tlie Sixth thought that differences between the two -companies will be ironed out nnd that the progressive citizens on both sides of the 'river 'will unite as one in working for the success of the bridge. Baking Survey Supervisor Cogan', of the State Department of Health, came yesterday to make a survey of the work being cione by 'local welfare and health organizations.

William R. Sprague on Second street. district. In proof of this they cite the fact that Kearns and Calvert hare undoubtedly struck up an offensive and defensive alliance. This was shown by the Reams' 'closest local pcUUicil leader as chairman Calvert's city campaign committee, and the calling-in Kearns to.

moke the main speech lat the committee "re-organization. It is expected that the plan is to bend every-effort to re-elect the meantime Kearns has. been given a strangle on the local Republican city organization, Calvert wins or hot. But Calvert wins, then Kearns 1 hold is liouble-conched for Calvert will turn over to him the solid phalanx "of city employes who owe their jobs to him. Back of all this, of course, is the" effort hamstring any Scioto county man who may have an ambition to'succeed Komi.

Particularly the cd at Marvin C. Clark who is, suspected of congressipnal The word-has gone out to kill off Clark-and he is being-denied all recognizitiqh by the Calvert-Kearfls combination. Marvin can good little boy arid help Calvert' in his campaign, but' that will not save, him from the noose that'has been hung iip for. him. Through th'e county who are also' Kearns, the hew-; combine is also, to lend what aid defeating the McCownn'candidates for 'the OWN here at our bank, we look upon each account as an opportunity to make our relations a partnership in mutual helpfulness.

The Culvert-Toting- rgha city gnng is.to do all it can with its country cousinn in the effort to trita McCowan and thus remove another thorn from Reams' side.

Altogether the dashing young Mayor of 'Portsmouth baa -'dipped into deep waters politically. He apparently has become convinced that his salvation lies Svith the Kearns old gang, that votes of the Kearns opponents nre negligible, and tbot so long' its Kearns uants the job no Scioto county man need apply.
