NEW BRIDGE.
Judge Marchidon will soon have the
new calvert, which he is building near
Thebes, competed Some time ago the
county court advertised for bids for build
ins this bridge, but when the bids were
opened they were all on.dered too high
the lowest being Sl,4)o. The
court then made an estimate
of what it would cost to put in SUBJ
stantial stone culvert, and ascertained that
II could be done Tor about seven hundred
dollars. Judge Marchildon was instruc-
ted to superintcnd it, and AS the work nears
completion ii becomes more certain that
the court saved TO the county at least
seven hundred dollars by its refusal TO let
the contract AZ Sl.i00.
COUNTY COURT
met in regular session yesterday morning,
county judge Bross end associate justice
Marchildon present. Associate JUS
tice McCrite had no, arriv-
ed in time to be present
at the opening of the court. There
is a great deal of business to be transa cted
at this term. The court will be called up
on to provide ways and means for the i'm
provement of number of public roads in
various portions of the county. The Mis-
sissippi river road is greatly in need Of
repairs and the court will, no doubt, or
der the location of new road between
Cairo and Mound City. At present there
is no way by which the farmers living in
the vicinity Of the New Unity bridge can
reach Cairo with their teams, as the work
now going on on the Cairo Il Vincennes
railroad has completely closed up the old
road. This condition of things is not
long to be injured The farmers of the
county as well as the people of Cairo, are
clamorous for the opening of new road
and We believe the court will not hesitate
to execute the wishes of thepeople in this
important matter.
