vas from he's 70 ksthnah, thl tie worst
part % the entire line In NET weather are
White Rotk Cress aud Rasl fork, both ia
this county. We kaoW that a sonlFas. has
been ,,i'y the county for bridge over lhs
syst ma ned creek, and We were = lillls sar-
prlssd TO learn that as yet, no steps had
been taken towards bullling the structure,
We know that a large nuIstsr Of sl.iIshs
are deeply Interested in having this br'iss
built as soon As possible, as yell as the
travelling public aud Maj bradaelA. We
call upon tie contractors whoever they
may be, TO sc 10 work, and II they are not
able or willing to build Il, let the County
Court Zee 70 il l.at somebody Is empioyei
at once that will. We mus, have the
bridge. Tho public necessity demands II.
oyef East fors, VIC learn, there Is aioll
bridge, but In high WaleS, when tie water
ls over the bottom, as II has frequently
been this Water aud sprlng, the bridge Is
entirely uao!sss, and the chly alternative
Is TO walt until The water falls. Even
then, the bottom Is 80 horribly uiisy, that
Il is alriosi impass'ble. A eouipara,iye.y
iriaing expense wecil remedy this evil,
Mai. llradacii informs us that plank road
from the high land 10 the bridge, Would not
reach over COO yards. With this bulll, the
road would always be passable when tbs
river Is not over Il, and then, tho bridge
owners should have a ferry-boai, 10 run
from hill TO hill. This is all practicable,
and as VIC said. could be done wilh compar.
atively small outlay. Let these improve
menis be made we'll and substantially and
the bridge itself repaired, and the travel
for so or 10 miles up and down tho East
Fork would scek 1t for crossing. II our
County Court has my control over
the bridge VIC call upon them 10 see to II
that the crecl; Is made passable safely and
omforiably nj all times. Do not blame
the stage drivers for not crossing regularly |
If you do not afford good road for them
TO travel over. Bridges must be built, and
The roads worked, and our people must urge
The authorities to see that this 10 done.
If the creeks are bridgcd and tao roads
made passablc IL is Maj. Bradfelds intcn-
Iicn to put new -four horse coaches on the
inc as soon as possiolc, anil if the travel
will justify, he will incrcaee the rpccd.
Our merchants and others Interested in the
srowthsand prosperity of Dallhs, should
use their cxcriions 10 have the improve
ncnts made as early as possible We
night just as we'll DO within Two days CT
he telegraph at Marshall as not.
