WORK OF BOARD LAcS
Not Much Done in August Session
Working on Appropriations
for Next Year Consumes
Time

The county Board of Commission
ers will refuse to build the Brownlee
bridge until the city "comes across"
with $500 of the cost, was the tacit
decision of the members at this their
August term. No motion on record
to this effect was made but 1t was
understood among them that this
would be the course Of their action.
The county council have appropri-
ated $4,000 for this bridge with the
understanding that the city was to
paw $500 Of the cost, so the commits
sioners claim. Each township pays
S75 toward the cost OF each bridge
built within its borders by the coun-
tv. and this $500 by the citv Is on the
same basis, the board claims. The
matter will be presented to the city
council by the board Monday night.
On their part the city council has
received bid from the Rochester
Bridge Company that the bridge will
be built for $4,000. Basing thir &C
ton on this bid the council did not
see why they should pay $500 for the
bridge when it would cost nearly
$4,000 less than the county expect
ed to pay for it. It is intimated that
the board may build the bridge even
if the city refuses to help, but that
if they do they will leave off any
sidewalks, which are now planned
for both sides.
The August session is dragging
somewhat and not much has as vet
been done. All of Monday was7spent
in a discussion of lightning rods for
the courthouse. and in reading and
approving the record of the last ses-
sion.

trustees were approved. nameIv those

These are the annual reports.

tions for the coming year.
