A petition was being circulate
yesterday asking the legislature t
make the steel bridge over the Will
lamette river at this city a to
bride. This bridge question is
grave one for Albany, and one
will be difficult to solve. A to

as it will probably involve the cit
in expensive litigation. Many {
the citizens of Benton county sui

construction of the bridge on th
condition that Linn county shoul
maintain a free bridge. The count
was let off by the city on paying
gross SUM of $4,000. The questio
now is, can the city change tn;

In other words, are these veste
rights which the city can ignore?-
