Bridge Tolls Reduced.

A special meeting of the council, Saturday
evening, called for the purpose of consider
ing petition presented by r. M. Coles and
signed by large number of business men
and prominent citizens, praying that the
| bridge be declared free to all teams loaded
with produce to the value of 81.
The mayor, addressing the council, stated
that he had interviewed several disinterested
parties, not engaged in business, but paying
heavy taxes, with regard to free bridge,
and went on to say that it is apparent that
perspective benefits, if not now realized, are
looming up. The influx of wheat into the
town affects the interests of the laboring
man as we'll as those directly interested. Mr..
Proctor recommended that the prayer of the
petitioners be granted and the bridge be de-
clared free for the balance of the season. as
it would give an idea of it's affects as a
pr eminent thing, but as there were some
doubts as to the legality of the council de-
claring the bridge free, he would recommend
that the city attorney give his opinion on the
matter.
The city attorney thought the city of
Saltwater should be considered as a corpo-
ration, with the same rights and franchises,
and he could see no reason, if the council
deemed it best, why they could not declare
the bridge free.
Aid. Deragisch was in favor of free
bridge the year round to wheat teams only.
lie was satisfied that a free bridge would in
crease our taxes one-eighth, and that per-
sons who come here with the intention of
investing in real estate, would hesitate be-
fore purchasing property where taxation is
on the increase.
Aid. Brown thought that the city council |
had not the right to declare the bridge free,
and he was not in favor Of free bridge
anyway.
Moved by Aid. Gillespie, that the present
rate be reduced one-half the maximum rate
and that there be no Communication rates.
Attic request Of Aid. Deragisch the motion
was Withdrawn, and the following substi-
tuted:
Resozyed, That for the balance of the season
all teams loaded with not less than ten sacks of
wheat be allowed to pass free, and the driver
furnished with return ticket.
Lost.
The following resolution was then
adopted:
Resolvetl, That the tolls on the Saltwater
bridge be fixed for the balance of the season of
1873 at the following rates: Foot passengers,
single trip, Sc; round trip, sc. Horse OK or
mule, Sc. Single team with driver, single trip,
Ice; round trip, 15c. Double team with driver,
single trip, l5c; round trip, Csc.
Council adjourned.
