There il now before tho board Of super

counties an Important question ltlVolV--l
Ing the public bridge ut n CIV Castle FERRY
The draw INT this bridge IS SO entireiy out

the passage OF boats, and unless the de-
partment at washington, which has SUI
nrryision over the game, will establish
this point as tho head OF navigation, II
may be necessary to remove the bridge
entirely or to ospend large sum OF
money upon the game, which It is doubt
Il full can be done at this time. 1t Is said
the draw has never been opened except
for the passage OF the government snag
boat. and therefore the question arises
whether the rubllc would be more ben
Gifted by the bridge or BY having naviga-
ton opened at this point. 1t also seems
that IL the appropriation from Congress

who use the bridge. arc considering the
advisability Of submitting petition to
the Secretary OF War. believing the two
counties would thus save the money they
have invested In this bridge and, be-
sides, tho public at large would be greatly
benefited by tho retention OF public
highway to Richmond. ,}
