THE TEMPORARY MAIN STREET BRIDGE


Mr.. Kenney offered resolution pro-
yiding for the removal of the temporary
bridge at Main street to point near
the Whitaker mill. There is bridge
there now, but the creek mill men have
to pay toll to the manager OF the mill
for the privilege Of crossing 1t. Mr..
Mckinley SAID there was a railroad
bridge there which could be crossed
free, but Messrs. O'Leary and Hoe said
the men had to pay quarter every two
weeks, whether they crossed 1t or not.
The money was taken out Of their wages,
unless the men could prove they walked
around by way OF the Seventeenth street
or Market street bridges.
Mr.. Bailey wanted to know who gave
the gentleman owning the toll bridge,
Mr.. Rose, his authority TO erect and
maintain a toll bridge. He called on the
City Solicitor for information. The So
licitor had gone home, and the resolu-
ton by Mr.. Kenney was adopted.

Their umbrellas dripping floods upon

The femsl- voters rallied,
Not a mothers daughter dailied;

Stately maidens, aged lssses.
Glaring chilly through their glasses,
Scanned the tickets icost severely never

Tighter drew their chest protectors,
Grimly- glarri at the inspectors,
Brandi.hed their umbrellas proudly,
grsndly, coldly stalked away.

You'd dispute or doubt;

With their ne west triumph burning.
