NAY HAVE TO BUHD 81.
What some Of the Commis~iOnerz
Think Abont the sEidRwny Bridge.


Think Abont the skidawny Bridge.
It looks now very much as II the county
will have 10 build bridge connecting
the Skldaway road on the mainland with
Skidaway Island. whether they want 10
spend any Of the county's money for that
purpose or not. Their only alternative
is 10 take legal steps 10 have the bridge
abandoned. and il is probable that there
would Dee "a sufficient number Of protests
agains. this step 10 prevent its being
carried into execution.
Of course there is no bridge there in
fact but there is in law, ana under the
law it seems. as long as il IS a public
highway, the county Is obliged to keep
70 up as such Three of the commissi oners
have been strongly impressed with the
argument in beha III Of the property own
ers on the island made by Mr.. Walter
q. Charlton. the intent OF which was 10
show chat the bridge bad been declared
part of The public highway. and the
law with regard 10 these IS that they
must be kep4 properly maintained.
BY a law pissed in 1870 the bridge was
made a part Of the public highway and
placed IN the hands OF the county author
ities A law passed in 1871 stated as there
seemed 10 be some doubt as to the power
Of the county authorities I'm connection
with this bridst. they should be given
power to alter on abandon IL through the
proper course. the same as If the law or
1870 had never been passed. Mir. j. r.
Saussv. the county attorney. who had
some personal ex perience with these two
laws. took the POSITION that the intent
of the law passe Ia 1871 was to repeal
that of 1870. VIII ch would Of course
relieve the county from responsible
ity in connecticut with the bridge.
Mr.. Charlton however questioned
whether the law o 1871 had IN fact had
this effect. and held that 1t rather af-
frmed il. being PASSED merely to affirm the
jurisdiction Of the county authorities
over the bridge. and three OF the commits
sioners who have talk Ell about the mat
ter seem to take this view Of the case.
1T seems TO me-" said one of them
that this bridge has oeen made part
Of the public highw iys by law. and the
code compels us TO ma lntain such high
ways. So far as L am concerned, 1 don't
see what we can do in thc matter but re-
place the bridge or abandon IL. and ! am
Inclined to think the la ter course would
be the best to pursue. The island now
pays scarcely more than $j6 taxes "a year.
ana II this amount were multiplied ten
times II would hardly warrant the ex-
pense Of building the bridge and keep
ing it In repair. I think the county au-
thorities should take steps 10 abandon it
The question then arises as to whether
this can be done. There would be two
sides to the case, and the protests against
such q course might be Of sufficient NUM-
Der and force TO prevent the success or
any such undertaking.

Presently they also vanished from view

followed. When the lines broke the dogs
rushed through and gave chase to the
foxes, breaking the circle and neither
foxes nor dogs were ever seen again.
Losing the foxes made the hunters so an

stump, secured a big log chain and fasten-
