Rossv1LLE BRIDGE BILL
Is Making a Lot of Trouble for the
Committee Which Has It
In Charge.

The judiciary local committee in the
house is having a great deal of trouble
over the Rossville bridge bill. 1t has
had several sittings on the bill and is
still considering it.
The bill authorizes the building of a
bridge across the Kaw south of Ross
Vile and near the west line of the coun-
ty. The people in the neighborhood of
Silver Lake and south of there, want
the bridge near Silver Lake. They
claim that if the bridge is put farther
west it will be of more benefit to Wa
baunsee county people than it will to
Shawnee county.
County Commissioner Williams, how
yer, is interested in the Rossville bridge,
and it is claimed that he has threatened
to hold up both the fair ground propo-
sition and the appropriation for
bridge across the river three miles be-
low the city.
The Rossville bridge bill was intro
duced by Mr.. Stephenson, because Mr..
Brooke, who represents the country dis
trict, did not wish to become mixed up
in the fuss over the bridge.
