At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners at Wheeler
last week. Commissioner w. F. Braz-
zill was successful in having an ap-
preparation made for the construc-
tion of two bridges on the section line
running into Wagner from the east.
and also an appropriation of $500 for
grading work on this same line.
These are Improvements that have
been sadly needed for some time, but
for some reason this vicinity could
not get a great deal of recognition on
the matter. Mr.. Brazziii is to be
commended for his successful efforts
in this matter, and it is the hope of
the taxpayers of this district that he
will be as sue cessful in looking after
their interests in the future as the
past.
