1t appears to us that not only IS
the appropriation Of money fur
the Meramec bridge by our county
court an irregular and Illegal pro
ceeding, but also that the Whole
matter Of building the bridge is
proceeding in an Irregular and H.
legal manner. Neither Washing
ton Eor Franklin counties appear
to enter into the process beyond
putting up certain amount Of the
money towards building the bridge.
The Crawford County Court is APP
parently made the sole arbiter as
to the location, the letting of the
contract and the handling OF the
money appropriated by the three
counties concerned. The law pro-
vides, we believe, where bridges
are built Jointly by two or more
counties, that the court or each
county shall appoint a commission
to take care of its interests in the
matter, and such bridge Gem
mission has the authority. subject
to the approval of the county
courts of the counties involved, to
TO proceed with building the
bridge. 1t becomes more and more
evident us the matter is studied in
its different lights that if the pres
eat status Of the Meramec bridge
is allowed to remain our county
judges may be involved in very
serious complications.
