cast their ballots either for against the bonds
to be voted In aid OF doubie-track bridge scross
the Smoky Hill on Iron avenue. 1t Is hard to
tell what will be the result. Some are against
the proposition. because they are not satisfied
to have the present bridge removed to the
place on the Saline river designated by the
commissiOners-thati location not being their
choice. ne believe q large portion OF the
town voters, as we'll as many Who live in the
vicinity OF the town. are In favor Of the propo-
sitioc. because they think new bridge is abso-

and convenience OF the city and Its environs.
