In both the third tmle, completed late last week and the fourth, the tests showed compacted sand to depths of between 40 and 50 feet. In only the first test hole in the deepest 'part of {.he channel was any hardpan encountered. County Engineer J. C. Bridger said the firm of Dames and Moore, Seattle, which did the test drilling, will work on soil tests to deter- mine the physical properties of the soils and their value as foundation material for construction. The testing firm will relay in- formation to Harold Sargent, Olympia, consulting engineer for the bridge, on a preliminary basis so he can proceed with the design plans, Bridget said. Bridger said the material found in the tests is about like what was hoped for in the beginning and nothing was discovered whicll would cause any great amount of trouble in construction. The county hopes to have pre- liminary plans in shape so they can get a cost estimate from Sargent before Sept. 21 to determine the size of a bond issue which would be seeded to build the bridge. The bond tsstm propo.ml must be submitted to the Count v Auditor by Sept. 21 to g'et on the Novem- ber election ballot. The commission plans to submit the bond issue then.
