and many news items have been
crowded out, but next week most

bridge, yet their petitions wer'

for approaches and a new roa

to place the new bridge on tn
Barr bridge site, thus saving tn
cost of approaches and me-
road, for this is the best bridg
site of them all. To amend thel

Commissioners held out the hop
that they might build a wago
road up Warm Spring creek an
cut out Lone Pine summit, by
