the heating and lighting plant for the

This suggestion is not passing

scheme not only is perfectly feasible,
but would result in big saving finan-
cially and would be an appreciated con-

port concerning the work upon the

stating that he would first have to
take up the matter with the Whining
tin and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany. which IS working in conjunc-
tion with the county in repairing the
bridge. before he could give out the
statement.
Mr. Burris declared that all this in
formation would be contained in the
report he would give out.
Nj Burris took exception to re-
cent article that appeared in local
paper concerning the work on the
bridge. which he declared was "all
wrong"
He said the county was not employ

article stated, but only six, as the
