Practically Unanimous in Favor of Movement

The most enthusiastic good roads

tive citizens, from every district

of various reasons why the roads
should be extended to the county's
boundaries. Several recitals we're
made where parties at the present
time were making several loads to

BOGUE GHITTO OFFICE ROBBED.
FRESH CHICKEN CONFISCAIED

The post office was entered Sat-
urday night at .Bogue Chitto by
burglars, who got in by breaking
the lock on the front door. The
stamp drawer was carried across
the street and left in the cut near
the railroad. The only contents of
the drawer, five one-cent and nine
two-cent stamps, were left undis-
turbed. Two parcel post packages
were stolen. Nothing in the way
of money or stamps is missing.
Owing to the frequent robberies
Postmaster Tyler has found it nec-
essary to place all postal supplies,
as well as money, in the bank.
Postmaster Tyler informs The
Leader that one of the parcel post
packages contained a chicken dress
ed for somebody's Sunday break

son for breaking into the Office was
that some subscriber, disappointed
in not getting The Leader. decided

SAVE COUNTY Sl,93l...7IIll
On New Steel Bridge at Smiths
Crossing---TWO More Bridges
to be Built.

1t will be Of general interest to
Lincoln county tax payers. as we'll
as others, to again note another
saving made on a bridge built by
the Board of Supervisors, which
is permanent structure-the stall
wart iron and concrete crossing at
Smiths bridge, three miles west of
town, just completed.
Nearly a hundred per cent saving
was made by the Board on this one
piece of work, which is in keeping
with the improved highways in
District No. l. which it connects
with on each end. The estimated
saving in round figures is 81, ,931. IA
less than what it would have cost
had it been let out by the contract
system to bridge builders, similar
to previous ones made in the build
ing of bridges heretofore let by
Lincoln's Boards.
The span of bridge is 100 fees
and an itemized list of the cost is
as follows:
Bridge material. $1.719; guards,
gravel and labor. $625: cement.
$264.26: total cost of construction
and material, $2,068.26.
In a few days more, work will
begin on two similar permanent
bridges, one over the Bogue Chltto
river, near Thayer, and the other
over a branch near the same place,
it having been decided that there
was enough material on hand to
make both crossings.
1t was at first intended to build
the bridge only across the Bogue
Chitto. When these structures are
completed, The Leader will ac-
quaint its readers with the cost Of
same. as heretofore in similar
cases.
