AN IMPORTANT Project,
BY Which Our Market Viii Cain from
Six to Eight ThOi sand Bales
of Cotton.

A petition is now circulating in this
city asking for the sum of four tlsous-
and dollars for the construction ot "a
bridge aud causeway over the East fork
of the Trinity, fiftee miles northwest
of Dallas, on an air line to Rockdale.
BY this means it is proposed to secure
to this market from six to eight thous-
and bales of cotton, which, as the mat
ter now stands, is diverted to other
towns. The names of several Of our
most prominent lnerc hsnts have al
ready been obtained 10 the petition.
and the balance we Think will not hes
itate when called upon.
The construction of the bridge VIII
open 10 us not only the cotton, but a
greater portion of the trade of the coun-
ties of Hunt and Rockdale, and a
large portion of Collin, Rains, Kauf-
man and Hopkins.
The completion of this project, it
is then seen, is worth to us several
hundred thousand of dollars, which,
when il can be commanded at so small
an outlay, should awaken at once the at
tention of all earnest citizens. The
span of the structure is estimated at
ninety feet, with approaches on either
side sixty feet each, with road bed
fourteen feet wide. A causeway will
only have to be built on this side,
which will be a mile and half in
length, the people of the town of Rock
dale and county STIMULATING to build
this without any cost to Dallas, and to
raise one thousand dollars in addition,
towards the building of the bridge.
Let the citizens of Dallas bestir them
selves in matter of so vast a benefit
to them.
