THE FARMERS TO BE HEARD FROM

The board Of county commissioners were
in session yesterday when petition was
presented praying for right 81 way for =
street railway over tho iron bridge which
spans .he river nj the west end OF tho ave-
nue.. Mr.. Oliver, the chairman, said the
matter was too important TO be disposed OF
hastily; that as tho bridge was the property
Of the county, but principally used by the
farmers Of the county residing on tho YVES,
side Of the river, he did not deem II wise
that the board should take any action until
it could be ascertained what the feelings OF
those who use the bridge the most frequent
" is, and that therefore the matter must be
postponed until their next meeting, or to
some time in the future. The proposition,
We believe, is TO run the new street railway
TO the fair grounds. In the meantime the
board would be pleased to have an expires
sion from as many Of the farmers on the
west side as possible
