WILLING TO DIVIDE IT
County Offers to Split With Drainage
Board on Frye Bridge.

About two or three weeks ago,
man employed by the North side
drainage board, started a bicker that
has not yet been settled between the
drainage board and the county COM
nissioners, when he chopped down a
tree. The tree fell on a bridge-the
Frye bridge few miles northwest
of Topeka-which had been put in place
by the county commissioners not more
than three months ago. The bridge
was knocked from its abutments.
Just who is to shoulder the expense
Of $500 which will be necessary to
put it back on its foundation is a
question which the county is offering
to arbitrate with the drainage board by
splitting the expense fifty-fifty.
The county commissioners point out
that they paid for putting the bridge
in place and had it in working order
when the drainage board ''jimmed the
works" Now the drainage board
wants the county to put it back. The
question is still open.

New York, Nov. 9.-Attorneys for

eleven former directors of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad
on the charge of criminal violation of
the Sherman law, Monday read into
the record a letter from Charles s.
Mellen, vice president and later presi-
dent of the road, in which he applied
the phrase maintenance of your
monopoly" to the activities of the road
in the acquisition or competing prop
critics.
Mr.. Mellen remarked in the same
letter that through lack of foresight
and delay in the purchase of such
properties, the New Hampshire had
paid "a tremendous price when with
very little effort the competition could
have been stopped at it's inception and
with very little expenditure" It was
fortunate, he wrote, that the road was
rich, but is there not a limit beyond
which even property like the New
Haven can gO?"
