an informal ''election." But even in this
event, the election would not have the
statutory protection that is accorded to
primaries, and there would be nothing to
hinder, nor no way to prevent. irregulari-
ties of whatever kind any individual
might see fit to practice. More than this.
Even after the election should be held, it
would be of no binding effect upon the
county board of commissioners, either as
to the building of the bridge or as to the
location of the same.
That the county board of commission
ers had the right to dispose of the bridge
matter-that is to build or not build, and
where-upon their own responsibility,
there is no question. Neither is there
any question of the fact that it was their
duty to act upon this matter one way or
the other, and notwithstanding the fact
that they have acted both ways, and no
way, we have no information Of any
plan by which the people of the county
can straighten out the situation. In our
opinion, as suggested the other day, for
the present, at least, the bridge is dead.
