The Old Bridge.

The Highway Commissioner of the
township of Benton, has advertised for
bids for repairing the old bridge across
the river on third street. 1t seems al
most shame to have to spend any more
money upon this clap trap. No matter
how much may be expended thereon the
bridge cannot be made good Tor anything.
The money that is spent for repairs.
would pay the interest on the cost of a
new bridge, and at the same time we
might have bridge that would be safe,
and credit to the place. The repairs
contemplated will lower the trap of the
bridge about foot, which will add some
thing to the appearance Of it to say the
least.

Deferred Action.

The Supervisors OF Emmett County do
not realize the benefits which will accrue
to its residents from the completion OF
the inland navigation. Last Saturday
the bill for half the cost as far as incurred
of the preliminary survey Of the pro-
posed route was presented to them. and
after considerable talk over the matter
deferred action upon it. This was wrong.
Cheboygan County had assumed its part

parties doing the work upon the survey
have earned their money and should have
it. The bill, however, will no doubt be
allowed and paid at the next meeting of
the Board the first Moi,s, il February.

Not Well Taken.

At the meeting OF the Board of Su-
pervisors Of Emmett County, at Little
Traverse, last Saturday, petition from
the residents of township 81 north,
range west, was received asking for the
privilege of township organization.
The petition was in all other respect reg
ular, but, of course, was almost entirely
signed by homesteaders. The point was
raised that homesteader was not free
holder sntil he had clear title to his
farm, while the law states that such peti-
tioners must be freeholders. The petition
was therefore laid over until the next
meeting until the law could be exam
ined.
We do think the point we'll taken. If
we remember correctly, there is special
law governing this matter, making the
homesteader in all respects freehOlder,
SO far as relates to the organization of a
township. If it is not so it should be
for it would in many instances work
great injustice were it otherwise.

Thought Better of 1t.

After great deal Of talk and much
newspaper comment, the residents of
township 81 north, range west, have
concluded not to name their township
Sherman, as was first decided upon. but
Maple River instead. We think this a
very wise conclusion because of the nu-
merOus townships in the state by that
name already. 1t will probably not be
many years before the state will take
some action upon this subject, and posi-
bly, may change the names of some
townships, so as not to have two alike.
The subject has been considerably agita-
ted. t
