Anxious DepOsitOrs Besiege a
Cleveland Concern.
Doors Stood Open Nearly All
Night While Paying Went On.

CLOSING THE BRIDGES.
People of Tecumseh Complain of
Hardness of Commissioners.

The State Journal has received the
following letter. which is self-explana-
tory as regards the bad condition of
the wagon bridges in the vicinity of
Tecun sch:
"A few days ago there appeared In
the State Journal an account of a
bridge that broke down with load
of hay and two men upon it. near
Tecumseh. Since that time the officers
have closed three bridges in the same
vicinity, and are making arrangements
to close two more Now, what we
want to know is, Why close so many
bridges in one vicinity without doing
any repairs? IF people start to go any
place they are sure to find a board
sticking up in the middle of the road
with the notice Bridge down; and if
they start to go around in another
direction another Bridge down sign
confronts them. In some cases it has
become necessary to open up roads
through fields, and all because the
bridges are not kept in order. The
proper officers should look after the
roads and bridges in this district and
keep them in shape Then it would not
be necessary to close three or four of
them at one time on account of being
unsafe for traffic"
