Brush Hollow Bridge Restored.

There is a great deal of pleasure
expressed over the county because Of
the announcement that the Brush
Hollow bridge. about two miles south
Of Florence. has been restored aud
is now open for traffic
The bridge went out about three
weeks ago when herd OF cattle was
going over II. AS result the public
has been inconvenienced more or less
because the bridge is a portion of the
main thoroughfare to Beaver Park
and Penrose.
Many cars making the overland trip
to Canon City employed the Rainbow

for the first time since the bridge went
out. During the repairing OF the
structure all that traffic went around
