position three years ago Just as the
commissioners sent 1t to the city
fathers.
When Commissioner Dean, the old.
est in point of service of the menu
bers of the present board, was asked
about the matter this morning. he
said:
we gave that money on the same
principle that we gave money for the
St Louis exposition. I think We
know the law on the matter, and be-
lieve we acted within our authority
to give this money for this bridge.
1t makes 1t easier for the country
people to get into the city from the
southwest, travelling on floor very
nearly level instead of going down
hill through the gully and drawing
the loads up on this side.
I'VE may be wrong in our judg-
ment. We're not responsible for the
bridge or for damages resulting from
It, If anyone wants to dispute our
view they can institute legal pro-
ceedings."
