propriated for an improved system of radia-

THEY WANT A BRIDGE.

Taxpayers in Vicinity of Laurel Petition
the County Commissioners for One.
The following petition has been filed
with the county commissioners, now in
session in Billings, which is self-ex-
planatory:
"To the Honorable Commissioners of
the County Of Yellowstone, Montana: !:
We. the undersigned residents and tax
payers of Yellowstone county, would
respectfully represent to your honorable
body that the citizens of both Carbon
and Yellowstone counties are greatly
inconvenienced at all times of the year,
and more especially during the time of
high water. by reason Of having no safe
and adequate means of crossing the
Yellowstone river at or near point voted
for two yeass ago near Laurel, in this
county. NE would therefore request
that you confer with the commissioners
of Carbon county, with the view Of
building bridge across said river at
said point, the expense of which to be
borne jointly by both counties. =
The above was signed by nearly one
hundred Taxpayers in the vicinity Of
Laurel, who would be greatly benefited
by, having such a bridge constructed.
In 1895 the proposition Of construct
ing a bridge across the Yellowstone, as
now petitioned, was submitted to the
