A score or two of good looking citizens
of Beaver county are in Butler tnis
week attending the trials Of the Beaver
county bridge cases which have, been
brought INTO the local court on change
of venue moved for by the plaintiffs be-
fore Judge Wilson of Beaver county.
The suits arise from condemnation pro-

County Commissioners to take the Fet-
terman bridge over the Beaver river
between Beaver Falls and Cottage Hill,
the Wolf Lane bridge over Beaver river
between Bridgewater and New Bright
on, and the Ohio River Bridge Cos.
bridge over the Ohio between Monaco
and Rochester.
The purpose of the County Com

which have always been operated on
the toll system, open for the free use OF
the public. Viewers were appointed
and awarded $50, 600 for the Fetterman
bridge, $147. 900 for the Wolf Lane
bridge and $3.50, 900 for the Ohio river
bride. The bridge companies appealed,
claiming $4,000 for the Fetterman
bridge, $4,000 for the Wolf Lane
