At special meeting of the Board of
Street Commissioners, held last evening,
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved That the Committee on
Streets and Bridges'is hereby directed
and authorized to build wagon bridge
across Rock river connecting the two ex-
IRENE bents now standing of Main street
bridge by a bridge not to exceed sixteen
feet in width, and to use so much of the
old timbers of Main street bridge as are
available.
We do not think our community stand
ready to endorse the action of the Board
as embodied in the above resolution. 1t
is calculated that the temporary bridge
will involve an outlay of about $500.
Three times this amount will restore
Main street bridge to its former condition
for travel, small sum compared with
what an iron bridge will cost such as
the Board are evidently aiming at erect
ing. In our present situation the former
COuulGlOu VI tHiISo III lhO OlIuS iihO 40
good enough. Let us repair Main street
bridge and bide our time for better one.
The city will be well repaid for waiting
few years before building an iron
bridge. Just now war prices have to be
paid for iron bridges, owing to the great
demand, and we have no doubt that by
waiting even one year thousands of dol
lars could be saved in the matter. The
restoration of Main street is what is de.
manded at this time-anything done of
mere temporary character will be SIM
ply throwing so much money away. The
Street Commissioners should see the mat
terri this light.

Death of Thomas G. Jones.

It is with the deepest regret and the
saddest feelings that we record the death
of Thomas G. Jones, editor and proprie-
tor of the Watertown Democrat, which
occurred at his home in the 4th ward,
Tuesday afternoon, May Sd, 1881, in the
32d year of his age. He died of typhoid
pneumonia after an illness of about three
weeks, his disease proceeding from a cold
he contracted, attacking him with such
severity as to confine him to his bed from
the first.
The deceased with James McHugh sue
ceeded the late D. w. Ballou in the pub
LEGATION of the Democrat about five years
ago. A year later the partnership was
d issolved and since that time Mr.. Jones
has been soleproprietor of the paper. Born
and reared in this city his life had been
necessarily uneventful. His education
consisted of what the public schools Of
his time afforded, but he applied himself
we'll, and made the best possible use of
his opportunities. In his newspaper
work he was shrewd and careful. He
avoided if possible newspaper quarrels of
a personal nature, and it evidently gave
him greater pleasure to weld his pen in
kindness than in bitterness As writer
he was given to dignity in expression and
was very free from the use of slang say
ings, which pass with so many for wit
and wisdom, and are SO apt to be used to
excess by novices in the newspaper field.
In disposition he was somewhat firm and
unyielding when he considered himself
right, and socially pleasant, courteous
and and obligiug. He possessed no vices,
and we believe it can be said without
contradiction that he passed out of this
world without leaving real enemy be-
hind him. Cut down SO early in life, in
the midst of his usefulness, with the
promise of a successful career before him
in the line of duty he had marked out
for himself, who can properly picture to
themselves the feelings of his family and
friends over his untimely death. To his
young and loving wife, whose welded
life extends through a period of little
more than a year, his sudden departure
to the other shore is indeed a crushing
blow. But his fond parents and kind
sisters and brother are none the less
stricken with grief and woe over the de-
mise of one so dearly loved, and in whom
so much hope and affection centered. in
their terribly sad bereavement they all
have the warm sympathy of the entire
community.
The funeral of Mr.. Jones will be held
from the home of his parents tomorrow,
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
