A Correction

We unintentioually made a mis-
statement in our last issue concern
ING the flooring of the new bridges.
We stated that some pine flooring
had been placed on the CaStleman
Ferry bridge until such time aS
the selected oak flooring could be
secured. We were informed by
the bridge contractors that this
would be done, and knew nothing
To the contrary. 1t appears that
the pine flooring was sent To the
bridge and was being placed in
position when the oak flooring
arrived. The pine was immediate
ly taken up and the permanent
oak flooring was then laid in place.
We made this correction in Justice
to all parties in interest.
