TWO COUNTIES TO
BEAR EXPENSES
WAPELLO AND MONROE TO I'M.
PROVE ROAD NEAR COUNTY
LINE AND BUILD BRIDGE.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

AS result of their meeting yester-
day. the broad of supervisors Of Wa
pello county and the supervisors from
Monroe county decided upon an i'm
rrovement of the highway in Adams
township. The Improvement includes
an extensive piece of grading and the
construction ola bridge on the county
line between Wapello and Monroe
counties near Blakesburg. The farm
ers in the vicinity of the road to be
improved have demonstrated that they
are boosters for good roads and have
subscribed sufficient money to pay for
half of the grading. The balance will
be borne jointly by the two counties.
The county boards have agreed to do
the bridge work without expense to
the farmers who are aiding the road
work.
The grading to be done is on Phin-
ney's hill outside of Blakesburg, along
the county line. This work alone Is
estimated to cost some $1,000. The
boosters in the vicinity have raised
$500 Of this and the two counties will
meet the balance by paying 5000 apiece
for the other half of the cost. The
bridge contemplated Is concrete
structure, practically no other type Ia
row being built by the county, and Is
Is by 30 feet in dimensions. The ap-
proximate cost will be $500, born Joint
ly by Wapello and Monroe counties.
The supervisors are pleased with the
arrangement made and particularly
Gratifed at the boosting spirit mani
tested by the farmers along the route
benefited. The work will soon begin
and will be rushed.
Some four bridges have been built
or are now under construction by the
supervisors of Wapello county In vari-
GUS parts Of the county thus far this
year. AS much Of this work as the
weather and time will permit will be
constructed by the county this year.
The board has gone over the situa-
ton with the state highway commits
sioners and engineer and the members
arrived at working basis whereby tho
work will progress favorably.
