VILLAGES TO DEMAND
A BRIDGE AT COLONA

municipalities of the upper end of
the county are understood to have
agreed to work together for the con-
struction Of a bridge across Rock
river at Colona. An effort will be made
TO bring pressure to bear upon the
supervisors that will force them to
act. A resolution demanding the bridge
Will be drawn up by L. NJ. Magill, at
torney for the village Of SiIvis, de-
handing the building of the bridge,
and other villages are expected TO
take similar action
AS is generally known, Henry county
stands ready to pay for its half OF
the bridge, having appropriated $50, 900
for the purpose. but Rock Island coun-
ty has blocked the improvement On
the ground that its financial condition
made the expenditure impossible.

delivery and Postmaster F. J. Glen
denim is taking the necessary prelim-
mary steps to secure It. Under the
law a citys postofIice receipts must

$685.. or S2,95s.95 more than the
