LETTING OF CONTRACT FOR RtV.
Err BRIDGE AT BENToN's FERRY
POSTPONED AT REQUEST OF
COMPANY WHICH WANTS TO
MAKE INVESTIGATION.

That the Buckhannon and Northern
will continue its line up the river from
RiycsvilIe to lexington is believed
ferc by men who are in position to
know something OF the future develop
ment OF this part OF the State.
Evidence to confirm this belief is
found in the fact that letting OF the
contract for the construction Of Il
bridge across the Tygarts Valley river
at T'enton's Ferry has been held up
by the county court al the instance Of
the Buckhannon and Northern Rail-.
road company. Tho c0mpany request
ed this action by the county court. The
company wants to see how the con-
Struction Of the bridge will affect us
property.
Al first it was the Intention of the
county court TO build grade crossing
bridge at this point but by Il satlsfac
tory arrangement with the Baltimore
aHd Ohio Railroad company an over
head bridge will be constructed 50
that teams may pass over the tracks of
HE company. II is likely that ar
INngcmcnts will be made with the
Huckhannon and Northern Railroad
company so that an overhead bridge
will be constructed over the company'g
right OF way.
The completion OF the luckhannon
and Northern from HivcsviIIe to
lexington would give the road splega
did outlet TO the east. The fact thai
the road needs an eastern outlet from
this part OF the State and the furtheH
fact that at the company's request the
letting OF the contract for the river
bridge at Benton's Ferry augmented
by the further evidence that Senate.
Watson has Introduced II bill in con
sress asking permission for the Duck
IaNn6n End Northern Railroad com.
r&ny to construct bridge across the
Monongahela river near Catawba are
all indicative that the connecting link
between RivcsviIle and Belmgton will
be built.
