Mr.. !. B. Hunter, the attorney OF
thv board OF commissioners OF New

ING communication from Saluda.
which is Self-cHplanat"ry:
II. B. Hunter. Attorney County
Board. Newberry:
Il am directed to say to you that
the Saluda county board OF commlS-
sionerS will not meet your SuperElS-
or and his board on Friday, as they
still demand thirty days more tor
further consideration OF the bridge
before final action. and unless the
demand is acceded to they will wipe
their hands clean OF the whole bridge
question.
please convey this message to
YOUR supervisor and his board. and
thus save them all unnecessary trip

B. w. Crouch,
Clerk Saluda Board"
The commissioners OF Newberry
and Saluda counties met at Bouk-
nights ferry on Tuesday and, after re-
ceiving bids for the erection OF
steel bridge over Saluda river both
at Bouknight's ferry and at Alliga-
tor rock. near Kempson's ferry, post
poned the letting of the contract un-
til Friday, when a meeting for that
purpose was to have been held IN
Newberry.
1t will be recalled that at prev
ous meeting Of the commissioners
the two counties held in Newber-
~ on the 10th OF July, it was impos-
sible to agree upon site, the two
points in controversy being Bouk-
nights ferry and Alligator rock. A
resolution was ttereupon adopted
that bids should be received for the
erection of bridge at both sites, and
that the people favoring the respec-
tive sites should be allowed to raise
money by private subscription, and
that with these bids and the private
subscriptions before them the COM
missioners should determine upon
site which would be cheapest to the
counties. When the bids had been
received on Tuesday it was agreed to
give the people favoring the respec-
tive sites until Friday to raise their
subscriptions, when the amounts
raised for each of the sites, together
with the bids received, would be con-
sidered and the cheapest site selected.
The lowest bids received were by
the Virginia Bridge company. -Ihe
bids were for constructing the steel
portion of the bridge spanning the
water. and including all the work
with the exception OF hauling the
material from the railroad to the
river. which is to be done by the
counties. The bid of the Virginia
Bridge company for the erection OF
the bridge at Alligator rock was
s3,soS, and S5,4oS for the erection OF
bridge at Bouknight's ferry.
