The bridge crossing tine railroad
at the University has been care
fully examined, we understand, by
a number of citizens of our town,
and pronounced unsafe. 4 petit
1Iou has been signed by the Board

Board of Supervisors, asking the
railroad to have an T-en bridge
I placed across the IS this Is
the main street town we
would join in that this
l matter be att i to before a
serious aeefdeaG occurs.
Il The slstenance of the prisoners
confined In the county Jail is a
/ problem that Is vexIng cur Board
of Supervisors. No law provides
for these to be let out upou con
tract with bonus, and no one is
willing to take the pris ners for
their work alone UNI. some law
} is enacted for the guarding and
working OF the prisoners. there
can be NO remedy provided for this
heavy drain upon the public purse.
However, We believe the matter
; Will be arranged by Legislative
powers in tine future, so as repre,
vent all unnecessary waste of the
public money
