BIG BAR BRIDGE MATTER.


The contemplated purchase of Big Bar toll bridge by the
supervisors Of Calaveras and Amador counties jointly is
badly tangled very serious question has arisen con-
corning the legal right of the supervisors to apply any
county funds the purchase of this bridge 1t is probable
that law suit involving appeal to the highest court
will be necessary before the matter be definitely settled
It appears that the franchise to construct this road and
collect tolls was granted by the Legislature in the early
sixties. The franchise for thirty years 1t expired be-
fore 1905 In that year application made for
newa of the franchise The bridge had become deapdated
and dangerous travellers Accidents occurred owing to its
poor condition The unwilling to put 1t IN re-
pair, without renewal of franchise collect toll and the
counties we're prepared take the bridge and keep
the in repair So Franchise allowed extending
for period of another thirty years This franchise was
thereafter of litigation in the superior court of
Caaveras county The legality of the action of the
granting the franchise sustained by the court
1t allowed there; appeal to the supreme
court taken Under the extension of the franchise
thus granted tolls have been collected since.
The validity of this franchise is in doubt and also
whether the supervisors have any right to appropriate
money for the purchase the bridge The district attorney
of each county interested has expressed opinion to the
effect that purchase be made after proper apprase
nen Other members of the legal profession claim other
wise The provisions of the codes bearing The subject
as follows:
Whenever the franchise for any tolbridge, TRAIL
turnpike plank wagon has expired by
Limitation nonuser such bridge, trail, turnpike
plank common wagon road becomes free public
highway and claim shall be valid against the
public for right of way or for the land or material
comprising such bridge trail, turnpike, plank
wagon road All public highways, once
established, shall continue to be public highways
until abandoned by order of the Board of Super
visors of the county in which they situated,
by operation of law, or judgment of a court of COM
petent jurisdiction.
At any time within five years from filing the GER
tifcate of completion of any road constructed under
the provisions of this chapter, the county within
which the road, any portion thereof is located
may purchase the same at a fair cash valuation, to
be fixed by Commissioners, all disnterested
persons, three to be appointed by the Board Of
Supervisors of the county three by the of the
road, and the seventh by the Judge of the Superior
Court of the county.
The supervisors inclined purchase if they do
so under the law without making themselves liable their
official bonds The bridge and approaches worth the

the travelling public will be money ahead the expiration

will have this effect.
The fact that the amount of the tax

members of congress to evidence clear

object and not merely revenue.
The customs court of appeals will

The Corn-Root Worm.
R. L. Webster,
Iowa State College.


Injury to Corn by Root Worms.
The corn root worms are undouht-
edly the most serious insect pest with
which the Iowa corn grower has 10
conte7d. The presence of root-worms
in a field is usually indicated by a
withering of the young plants, the
failure to produce well developed ears
or general retarding of the growth
without any visible cause. A search
among the roots of such stalks NAV
bring to notice the tiny root-worms.
The root-worms themselves are
small, slender white grubs, about half
an inch long when they are full
grown. Infested stalks of corn NAV
be pulled out easily and will break off
at the place where the root-worms are
at work, leaving the greater part of
the roots in the soil. Frequently
stalks infested by the root-worm are
blown to the ground by the wind, the
root system having been so cut off
that the stalks cannot stand the
strain. Bowman and Crossley have
shown how a continuous cropping of
corn on the same ground will very
soon increase the number Of foot
worms to an alarming extent, and con
