COUNTY COURT AND OTHER OF.
SlcIALs MIX MUD IN TRYING
TO LOCATE SITE FOR sTRuc-
TURE.

The people OF Bentons Ferry are Mt
last to have bridge crossing the Mo-
uongahela river No exact site has as
yet been decided upon, but the mem,
bers of the county court together with
others interested yesterday went to
Bentons Ferry and looked over the
four proposed sites for the bridge.
Those in the party who went over
the proposed sites yesterday were the
Messrs. George NJ. Lilly, A NJ. Glov-
er and Lee Swisher, members OF the
county court; John Phillips, clerk OF
the county court; Tusca Morris, pros
ecuting attorney; Fred Wllrong, coun-
ty surveyor; Edward Meredith. OF the
Nelson Meredith Bridge Company, of
Marietta, Ohio; NJ. Nelson Of Atlantic
City; Charles Morris and J. Kerr, Of
the Buckhannon g. Northern railroad
company and W. F. McCaIrcrty.
Half of the members Of the party
made the trip to Benton's Ferry in
automobiles, while the others decided
that the water route was the best,
and therefore made the trip in motor
boats from the Barnes & Harr livery.
The representatives OF the Buckhan.
non and Northern Railroad Company
made the trip in the interests OF their
company, 1t having been though for
a while that the bridge would have
to cross over the right OF way of the
railroad company, but this was prov
en- a fallacy, 1t being decided that II
the bridge was built directly across
the river from Bentons Ferry, that the
bridge would extend Zip q the B. &
". right OF way, but roads would turn
to the immediate right and left of the
bridge on each side to keep the road
mp.
The trip the gentlemen made in
looking over the site led them from
Benton's Ferry on The opposite side
of the river from the railroad station,
down the river to the Hites mines. and
then back up on the other side OF the
river. Most Of the. trip was made In a
downpour Of rain which made the trip
very unpleasant as much o! the walk
ing had to be done along the roads,
which were very muddy and slippery.
A committee of citizens from Ben
tops Ferry met :he county court at
the ferry and accompanied the party
down the river good part Of thcway,
Offering suggestions and advice. as TO
+tae place tosbuild the new structure.
