SUIT MAY DELAY
SOUTH SIDE SPAN


When the appropriation of $1S5, 200
for the proposed South G. street bridge
came before the county commission
ers this afternoon. Gus Hoelscher,
county attorney, argued that the ap-
preparation of that amount would be
illegal, inasmuch as there is an appeal
from the board of public works now
pending in the circuit court concern
ing the building of the bridge.
Such an appropriation would have
to be conditional, and conditional ap.
preparations are illegal, Attorney
Hoelscher contends. In case the APP
preparations for the South G street
bridge and the Main street bridge are
made, they will not be paid until
January /, 1917.

POTATOES remain UP

Potatoes, forced by speculation in
the face of the threatened railroad
strike, from $1.75 to 1925 bushel
last week, continue to hold their high
quotation today. The shortness of the
local crop, and the fact that potatoes
throughout the United States have not
been dug yet, make it probable that
they will remain high until Michigan
potatoes come on the market.
Wheat, which fell from 81 .45 to $1.4O
a bushel two weeks ago, holds steady
at the latter price.
