CROW WING BRIDGE AT PILLAGER.
The $500 of County Money Will Be Used
for 4 Bridge at Pillager-Brainerd
People Dissatisfied.

The $500 OF county road and bridge
money that was due" the First
commissioner district will! be ex-
pended on bridge across Crow
Wing at Plllager. That was decided
by Commissioner Sullivan this week.
Last year when the county board
decided to expend about $1O,W on
roads and bridges, each commits.
sioner district was given about an
equal share, the First district, which
was represented by Enke, being ap'
propriated 5000. Only $500 was
used last year, and the arrangement
was made among the members OF
the board that the district should
have 500 more when it was decided
where to use it. 1t was also the I'M
Outstanding that $5tW would go to
help build a bridge over the Crow
Wing river at such place as seemed
for the best interests OF the district.
The new board has proceeded to
carry out that arrangement. Com
missioner Sullivan, who succeeded
Enke, went to Motley and Pillager
the first of the week, and consulted O
large number Of citizens OF Morrison
and Cass counties. 1t was then de-
cided that the $500 Of county money
should be used to help build the
bridge at Pillager. providing enough
more was raised to construct q sub
stantial bridge. Pillager proposes
to raise by bonds $1,000 or $1,500.
Business men and farmers will con-
tribute lumber, piling and labor.
The bridge is expected to cost be-
tween $2,5M and $3,ooo. There will
be center span OF 100 feet, and
about 125 feet OF piling approaches.
The Cass county commissioners
would not give anything toward a
bridge at Pillager, and it is claimed
that their refusal was due to Brain
erd influences. The people OF Brain
erd are very anxious to have q
bridge built across the Crow Wing
near it's mouth, and the settlers in
the eastern part OF Rail Prairie
would also like q bridge there, az 1t
would give them an easy outlet to
the Brainerd market. The building
of the bridge at Pillager is not re-
garded as Of any benefit to Brainerd.
1t is understood that the Brainerd
people are still working on a plan
to build a bridge there, and will at
tempt to raise the money to con-
struct it. There is not much pros
missioners will expend any money to
help them.
