To Bridge Potomac.

At a special session of the County
Court Wednesday afternoon three peti-
lions were presented to the Court asking
for an appropriation to aid in building a
bridge across the Potomac river at Vii
Transport, and asking that the matter be
submitted to the voters of the county; but
the three petitions combined did not have
the required number of voting signers and
the Court could not legally consider them.
The commissioners made trip of in
spection of the three bridges recently re-
paired in the county and found them to
be repaired according to contract. Walk
er Bros, of Charles Town. repaired all
three of the bridges. For the one at Ri
ley's Ford they received $325; at iSchop-
pert's Ford, $325, and at Shanghai SIo75.
After consideration, the court ordered
one car load of thing for draining roads
from the Berkeley Stoneware Company,as
per contract with the company.
