porary Repairs to the
Structure.
Plans For New One to be Con.
sidered.
CHARACTER OF THE BRIDGE

Island creek bridge can be made
safe and can be used daily after this
week until next year, according to
City Engineer l.. A. Washington, who
was called upon by the board of coun
cilmen last night TO enlighten them
on the condition of the structure.
The question OF suitable founda-
ton for the new bridge, which is to
be built next year. is no small matter
and must be given considerable
thought. Mr.. Washington explained
that Chief Engineer Mcdonald, of the
~, c. & st. L. railroad. inspected the
bridge yesterday and gave some ideas
in regard to a new bridge. Mr.. Wash
ington said the present bridge would
be made safe and thrown open for
traffic by the first of next week.
In discussing the new bridge, for
which there is an appropriation of
$4,000 On hand, the city engineer
said it would be foolish to attempt
anything this year. Mr.. Mcdonald
advised him to take his time and get
plans for two or three different char
acters of bridges before a contract is
let. Next year there will be an extra
appropriation for the new bridge and
Mr.. Washington hopes to be ready to
begin work in the early fall when
the water reeedes. He expects to en-
gage a competent bridge engineer to
assist him, each exchanging ideas.
In this way he expects to arrive at
something definite.
Councilman Mccarthy was inclined
to protest against delaying the work
on the new bridge but he was in
formed that the council would fret
to act before Mr.. Washington could
proceed.
There is a balance Of 81, 100 In the
cemetery fund and this will be used
in constructing drainage sewers In
Oak Grove cemetery addition. Mr..
Washington was given instructions
to begin work at once and utilize
the entire amount in the needed i'm
provement.
A pile driver secured by the city
from Contractor Ed Eaker Is at
work driving supports for the Fourth
street bridge. The bridge has not
settled any further and "a posts will
be used to strengthen the piers, IL
on either side. City Engineer L. A.
Washington has large force of men
at work.

MISS HARRISON

COURT OF APPEALS UPHOLDS
CIRCUIT COURTS DECISION
IN TOTO.

The decision OF Circuit Judge VIII
liam Reed was sustained in every
particular by the appellate court i'm
the appeal of W. r. Davis, trustee,
against Greenville Harrison, which
Involved the salary as a teacher In
the consolidated school at Lone Oak
last year. according to the opinion
which has been received in the city.
The attorneys representing Miss
Eleanor Browning based a hope that
she might secure the salary. because
OF the neglect of the attorneys for
Miss Harrison to prove her eligibility
for the position. However, the APP
pellate court held that that fact that
Miss Harrison held a certificate was
evidence that she was over Is years
old. and was eligible to teach in the
common schools.
The fact that the board did not
agree with Miss Harrison in regard
to the exact amount of salary for her
services. the appellate court held did
not invalidate the contract, because
Il was presumed that she would Ne
ceive the public money due the dis
trict. The judges also upheld the
legality OF Superintendent Middle
toms casting the deciding vote in his
offlce and not waiting until a session
of the board. They money, amount
ing TO about 5000, is now in the
hands of Cecil Reed. master COM
missioner. and will be paid to Miss
Harrison.
