Fountain County Invests in Bridges.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ATTIoA, Dec. 1.-THE Commissioners of
Fountain county have entered an order to buy
the toll-bridges across the Wabash river at this
point and Covington. The estimated price for
both bridges is $4,000. and the matter has been
before the board for the past four days. The
greatest opposition comes from Van Buren, town
ship, which in the past five years has had $685. 900
OF county funds for bridge building This oppo-
sition was met by the fact that the town
ship in which the two bridges are To-
Gated pay one-thrd of the taxes, and
for the past fifteen years have received
nothing from the county. The Commissioners
considered carefully the petition asking for the
purchase, and granted it as matter of justice
and right to the people of Logan and Troy town
ships. These two the only toll bridges that
cross the Wabash river. and making them free
is removal of relics of old-fogyism and good
indication of the modern enterprise of Fountain
county.
