About Those Bridges.

About Those Bridges.
The special election on the
bridge questions has been pulled
off, and it is all off. The prOpO-
Siticns were defeated by about
600 or a little better. In few of
the townships was the full vote
out, or anything like it. In Great
Bend city the full vote was not
registered, nor the vote that was
was not out in full. In Great
Bend township only about 25 per
cent of the vote was east. In CO.
manche about 30 per cent, and in
IIakin only a little over 60 per
cent. South Bend pOlled about
IS per cent, and Liberty almost
her full vote. In Liberty, Great
Bend city and South Bend the
vote was. almost unanimous for the
propoSitS6S. In Lakin it was not
what it should have been. There
were more votes cast against the
EllinwOOd proposition in Lakin
township than there were cast
against it in Great Bend. In Co.
manche the vote on the Great
Bend proposition was almost even
while only five voted against the
EllinwOOd proposition. The vote
of course, varies a little in differ
ent townships, but on the whole,
| the three bridges Jared about alike
In HOisingtOn city we received
nine Eyes" votes as against 800
No" In several of the north
ern townships there was not an
affirmative vote cast for the Great
Bend bridge, while in many others
there were only one or two votes
for it.
There is nothing to be said
about the bridges any further.
The townships that voted against
them in most cases did 50 because
at some time or other they had
been refused a bridge by some
board of commissioners. AnimOsi
ties of this kind were found dat
ing back thirty years. Then,
there was the ever ready talk
about increased taxes, etc.
The friends of the bridges mad,
a clean-cut fight. Every statement
they made was true. The bridges
were needed, are needed. They
could have been built and well
built within the appropriations
II would have been money saved
for the county, in the event that
they are not built by the lOcali'
Ties themselves now, to have built
them. But that is neither here
nor there. The propositions were
defeated, and that settles thai
part of it. 1t does no settle the
TACT though that this paper is go
, ing to continue to fight for i'm
prOvementS, here and elsewhere
We understand that there are eleN
en- petitions pending for new
} bridges in the north part Of tht
county, and we sincerely hope tn
commissioners will grant the re
]. quests. We need public improve
ments of substantial kind, anC
L we need above all things gOOC
! roads and good bridges, which W

g We are for every section of tn

e you are for.
