a solution Of the Decker's Creek Bridge
Question


The County Commissioners pro
pose to build new bridge across
Decker's Creek to South Morgan
town.
The suggestion is well made at
this time to build It high enough to
avoid grade crossing, if railroad
should be completed up the creek.
But to set the bridge high enough
for that purpose on the present site
would be difficult and expensive
job. 1t would be better to incur the
expense than to have a grade cross
ing but is there not a better solu-
ton?
Is it not better at this time to sat
isfy the demand for the extension OF
Main street by building the new
bridge at the end of that street and
opening a straight street to the
Kiagwood road?
This would admit of a railroad
under the bridge without any filing.
The bridge would be longer, but not
more expensive, perhaps, than te
to build on the old site and fill it in
for a railroad crossing.
Nothing would contribute more tc
the growth and convenience of Nor
gantown than the extension Of
Main street to the cemetery by a
a bridge at the end of that street
1t would soon be built up solid with
houses over its entire length, and
we would have beautiful street al
most a mile in length, without q
curve.
If the County Commissioners
would build the new bridge ut tn,
end of Main street, we are of the
opinion that considera lc sum in
private subscriptions could be oh
tanned to | clip pay for it.
