ers its Action in Ordering an EIec-
tion-Routine Business.

hlFerSldeS dream or foot bridge
to Columbia was pretty nearly realized
Monday afternoon when the Quarterly
Court voted an appropriation for the
construction of a wooden sidewalk
across Duck River. to be in effect an
extension Of the present bride. When
this sidewalk is completed the pretty
suburb across the river will have
smooth walking to the city, as the
municipal government has promised to
build a concrete walk from the
Square to the bridge. Already the
citizens of Riverside have built such
walk from the other side of the
bridge through the principal parts of
the embryo town.
The appropriation was granted af-
ter R. S. Hopkins had explained to the
court the necessity for such side
walkwalk, and the committee appoint
ed to investigate, had returned fav-
orable report. This committee was
of the four magistrates from
the Ninth district.
The proposed sidewalk will be laid
on the Orders of the present bride,
which will be extended for that pur-
pose An estimate of the cost was
submitted by the Nashville Bridge
company, which has had an expert
here making the calculations. The
Approximate cost was fixed at $4,000, |
but upon motion Of Esq. Hayes the
Court appropriated but $1,000, which |
It is believed is sufficient to lay the
sidewalk. The county reserves the |
light to reject all bids, and the lowest |
md best bidder gets the contract. |
