The Trustees Clerk.

Some two weeks ago the Trustees ol

refuse to be discharged, but as he was

Mark ct street Bridge.

It is already known that arrange.
ments have been nearly completed for
the erection of a new iron bridge over
the Christiana creek at Market street,
and the question has been asked, SIS a
new bridge needed %
In reference to the above question
opinions may differ, hut the majority
of our citizens who have occasion to
cross this bridge very often, as well as
many of the country people, have long
since felt that the necessity of "A new
and substantial structure is needed over
this strt am at that point,
Those who have taken particular notice
for several years past, will agree with
the statement that not a month has
passed without repairs having to be
made. OF course, at times, they were
tritling, while ON other occasions they
have occupied several days, and one
day this week wagon travel was cut
off for several hours. The entire struc.
ture is fast decaying, and never was a
new bridge more sadly needed.
The bridge, however, is perfectly safe
for vehicles to travel over, and with
constant repairing would probably last
for years. There are other reasons,
though, for new bridge, which can
not be remedied unless the old bridge is
torn away, among which is that the
draw is entirely too small and upon
several occasions had to be widened in
order to let new boat, built by the
Harlan ~ Hollingsworth Company,
pass through. Such difficulties nave
long since been an annoyance to this
firm as well as the captains of large
crafts that have occasion TO pass
through this draw. A new bridge
would not only avoid this difficulty but
will be great saving to the County,
as hundreds of dollars are yearly
spent in repairing this worn out struc-
ture.
