The bridge Contract-First Accident on
the C., t. v. q W. Railroad = Local
News.
In regard tOIthe bridge acrosslwheeling
creek, the citizens Of Bridgeport are very
anxious to know who the commissioners
are, and what kind OF contract was made
with. the contractor seabright. This
bridge should have been completed last
fall, and the fault can only be contributed
TO the incompetency Of the commissioners
in making proper contract. The bridge
is not sale, and the amount OF travel over
1t now will soon make 1t worthless in an
other month. Commissioners should be
chosen from business men and not from
farmers who know nothing about such
matters.
