A new traffic bridge has just been
completed and opened TO the public
across the Manitee river at Manitee.
The bridge was built by the Manitee
Bridge Co. of which c. H. Davis is
president, and will therefore be able to
charge something in the way of tolls.
This bridge is about the same length
as the one spanning the ST. Johns river
At Palatka, and which was built by the
county. II a bridge across the Manitee
is good investment for private capital,
such structure across the ST. Johns is q
good investment for county money.
And public bridge is perfectly proper
property for public ownership. The
Palatka bridge will pay its cost TO Put
nam county indirectly in two years. 1t
will pay its cost directly in less than five.
