about $15 TO repair it ami put the bridge

council decided not to do at present and
I ordered the street commissioner to swing
the bridge open and leave il, making no
/ provision for - Jerry. This naturally
aroused the i've Of those vho reside on
that side, especially as they had contrib.
uted about $1,000 toward building it, and
strong protest was made. Those on
this side having friends or Relatives in

in fact it would affect the whole town
To shut W one OF its bridges for lack Of
