The bridge near Dickinson & Lippin-
colts canhouse has been needing repairs
for sometime past, and although it is
alleged the attention OF the f~reeholder has
been called to it's dangerous condition. so
far no repairs have been made. 1t is
claimed that new covering is needed, ana
there have been several accidents caused by
it, more or less serious, already. Last
Saturday night both a single and double
team broke through. and, although we
did not learn the extent of the injury the
former sustained. the horse of the latter, a
valuable one, was badly cut ard lamed.
The county may save payment of a bill for
dam ages by putting the bridge in passa-
Bile re pair at once.
