BOARD FEELS THAT 1T SHOULD
HAVE BEEN CONSULTED ABOUT
COUNTY LINE BRIDGE.

The board of supervisors since the
trip to the county line of Wapello and
Keokuk counties Tuesday when the
new bridge constructed by the super
visors of the latter county was In
spected preparatory to the allowing for
the payment of Wapello county's share
of the construction, has tentatively
agreed to accept the bridge. The fact
that the local supervisors were given
no notice of the construction Of the
bridge, nor asked anything regarding
its building or type, does not meet
with the approval of the members. The
bridge is on the county line road that
passes through COMPETING township
in Wapello county and into Steady Run
township Of Keokuk county. 1t is not
as wide as desired by the Wapello
county board and while the members
have tentatively decided to accept it.
they expect to make their position
clear to the neighboring county before
paying the S146.23 that is demanded as
Wapello county's portion, of the cost
of erection. The board also made q
trip into Green township to look into
the matter Of condemning road In
that section that has been made the
subject of request to vacate. The
board has received it's opinion as to
the vacation of the road.
