APPROPRIATION IS
MADE FOR BRIDGES
Council Approves Recon-
mendation of the Board of
Commissioners.

The necessary $4,000 for repairing
the bridges of the county was appro-
priated yesterday afternoon by the
county council as was more than
81, 600 more for the purpose of making
other repairs and improvements in the
county
1t is not known whether $4,000 will
cover the cost of the bridge repairs
and possibly the council will be call
ed upon for further appropriations.
Many of the bridges were damaged
severely and some are irreparably i'm
paired.
The council appropriated $500 for
Jail repairs at the Home for Friend
less yesterday afternoon. After the
session the officials went to visit the
institution and unless they decide
that the appropriation is necessary it
will stand as recorded yesterday.
Some of the officials did not favor the
appropriation, though they decided to
make the appropriation upon the
recommendation of the commissioners.
The sum of $1,400 was appropriated
| for the installation of a lighting sys-
tenn at the Wayne county infirmary.
This was considered by the county
authorities several times and was
recommended by the commissioners as
we'll as the county board of charities
An appropriation Of $500 was refused
by the council in January. The only
system afforded at the institution at
this time is lighting with kerosene
| lamps which is deemed dangerous and
insufficient.
An appropriation of $500 was passed
to defray the attorney fees of Clarence
Parker now being tried in the Henry
county court for murder in the first
degree. The case was venued from
| Wayne.
