Yes. yes. Rand, I'll attend to that

As the result OF a personal inspec-

are Interested in the venture, the city
because the land affected is within the
corporate limits of Marshalltown. and
the county because of the danger that
threatens the Third avenu,4 bridge dur
ing every season Of high water. The
reasons why the matter should be
looked after promptly were obvious to
She members of the council when they
Inspected the premises. The river,
during high water seasons. cuts the
north bank badly, and the object of the
supervisors and council, in their joint
action, will be TO straighten the bend
by digging canal running from the
west end OF the old Steward ditch to
the bridge. This will give the river a
straight channel, and save the bank.
During the wet seasons, when the, Iowa

Also the placing of a new row OF ldling.
The cost OF the improvement has not
been carefully estimated as yet, but II
