COUNTY ORDERS
ESTIMATES FOR
BRIDGE REPAIRS

Estimates for repairing old and his
.oric wooden bridges by experts In
that line were ordered by the county
commissioners yesterday.
Deputy Surveyor Horton informed
commissioners that several Of the
structures were unsafe and would last
only a few years unless repaired.
The two structures between Lynn and
Fountain City are in especial need Of
being remodeled.
These bridges were built in 1861
and are considered as among the most
valuable institutions of the county"
Commissioner Seaney said. People
would not stand for them being de-
stroyed or replaced by modern struc-
lures even though they are narrow
for the rapid traffic Of the present
day"
Most Of these bridges are the cen
ters of historic traditions and in sew
eral instances they have given birth to
a series of ghost stories which have
been handed down from generation to
generation.
The repair work on the bridges will
consist of making crowns in the mid
die OF the structures. The two sides
will lead up to about half foot raise
In the center. This will give them
more strength. The timber Tor the
most part in these bridges is in the
best Of condition. The piers will also
have to- be repaired. When these
piers are extensively repaired they
will be enlarged so that in case the
ommissioners some time later decide
to widen them they will have every
thing ready to do so.

WIDEN ROADWAYS
ON COUNTY'S SPANS
FOR MOTOR TRAVEL
To meet conditions which have come

To meet conditions which have come
with the motor age, hereafter all
bridges on the main thoroughfares in
Wayne county will be made with eigh-
teen-foot roadwaya This was agreed
upon by the county commissioners yes
terday, upon recommendations Of Dep
uty Surveyor Horton.
This Is the second increase in width
which has come within the last few
years. A few years ago all bridges
were made with fourteen-foot road
ways Then the regulation width was
made sixteen.
1t will only be short time" de-
clared Horton, until all roads will be
made eighteen feet wide
"The only objection which can be
offered to the old wooden bridges in
this county is their narrowness. In a
few years their widths will have to
be increased he said.

YOU DID NOT HAVE
TO PAY CENT TAX

In an argument between Count At
torney Hoelscher and Wilfred Jessup
today, it was brought out that the
south side bridge sinking fund was
something peculiar to Wayne county
and that it probably would have been
possible for taxpayers to have refused
to pay the one cent sinking fund levy.
Since it is raised, however, it is
strictly legal, but it is doubtful wheth-
er 1t would necessarily have to be
used for the South G street bridge.
1t is really part of the general fund
and could be used for anything which
the commissioners and councilmen
agreed upon.

ASKS WHY AUDITOR
RECEIVES LESS PAY

Lee Nusbaum, president of the
county council, asked this morning
why discrimination was made in in
stances Of salaries paid to various
county officials. For instance the
county treasurer gets $4,000 year
while the auditor who has more work
to perform only gets $4,000.
Mr.. Bowman explained that salaries
are set by the state. A few years
ago the treasurer's association of the
state obtained an increase in the sal
ary of the Wayne county treasurer but
for many years back there has been
no change made in the salary Of the
auditor.
