behalf Of the City OF Trinidad. has
filed suit In the district court to COM
pei the board OF county commission
crs TO pay to the city the sum OF
SI.Ol5.l6. representing the cost to
the city OF the repair work done on
Two bridges within the city limits
and which are on state or county

peal from the action of the board OF

Recently the city attorney in
formed the council that under tho
statutes the county ~as required to
pay for the repairs or construction OF
bridges more than forty feet in
length which are on state or county
highways. and US the city had been
paying the cost OF all repairs the city
attorney was authorized to go ahead
and file IL bill asking the commits
sioners to reimburse the city for the
various amounts expended. The bill
WAS turned down, hence the suit.
The complaint sets forth that In
May and June repaiis were made on
the Linden avenue bridge at u total
cost of $609.O9 and on the West
Main street bridge repairs were made
costing $4O6.O7. wherefore the suit
filed by the city asks that n judg-
ment against the county be given for
the sum of 31,O15.1G. the total
amount of money expended on the
two bridges.
