 New Bridges Promised
 Supervisor Jasper has been in the Valley during the past week, and with characteristic energy has been going over the road and bridge situation with our people. The floods drove Mir. Jasper out from his home in February and he had been out of the Valley for nearly four months. He was quite surprised to find the bridges in such bad condition and although funds are low and money hard to get he made out a list of the bridges needed and will endeayor to dig the money up some where around the court house to put them in. His plans include bridge over New river at Brawley and one over Alamo to the north end of Number Five at point about east from Braw- ley. Also one over Alamo near Me Rims place east from Imperial. The old bridge and approaches at Calexico are to be repaired. These are the bridges to be installed over the rivers. There are several dozen bridges over the ditches that are badly out of repair and large number of new ones needed Water Measurements
