Milton June 26.-The Umatilla
county court which met IN this city
Saturday with the city council, decid-
ed to give the city $500 to help turn
the river from the new channel back
tunder the bridge again, but the county
will not build the bridge themselves
as county bridge.
| The recent floods cut a channel this
side. leaving the bridge high and dry.
1.-THE channel itself is almost zoo feet
wide and as the city limits have been
placed upon the west bank of the
walla walla river. the citizens claim
it is the county's place to build or
make a fill, since the west bank of
the river is now about 200 feet west
of where 1t formerly was. The coun-
ty court and city council clashed in
, the matter. and 1t now remains to be
seen II the city will accept the $500.
