The Bridoe,

The citizens meeting was called
IN Friday evening last for the pur.
pose of considering the question of
raising the money necessary to build
the bridge by a local stock company.
A. this meeting those present gcner-
ally favored the organization of an
outside company some still believed
that by proper effort and push a
home company could be organized to
build the bridge. No definite action
was taken. The board Of directors
of the bridge company also met on
Saturday evening to discuss the
matter further. 1t is generally re-
allied that the building of this bridge
is an absolute necessity and that it
must either be done by home capital
or an outside company secured to
build it. As soon as the board de-
cides what is best in the matter the
public will be advised.
