Nav Build Concrete Bridges.

The Board of Supervisors is ao'
vertising for bids to build either
cable or conrete bridges over Big
Sand near Reganton and Wlllis
creek near Tillman. If concrete
bids are accepted, these will be
the first permanent bridges ever
built in the county. The board
will find the bids of the cable
structures cheaper than the con-
crete but considering the lie ano
strength of the two, the latter Will
be found 10 be far cheaper IN the
long run, besides being able &c
stand any strain to which they
may be subjected. Once built,
all that is necessary to maintain
them is little dirt spread ovel
- Aoor to prevent wear.

 The farewell dinner was attended by George w. Bull of the first ward, Mark Cashmere of, the second ward, Fred M Hewitt of the third ward, w. N. McKirdy of the fourth ward, Paul Bellman of the fifth ward and
 John F. Kingley of the sixth ward. MT. Healey informed his fellow work CTS that he was desirous of having his 1 resignation accepted and this was done 1 with considera ble regret. ..,.,..r l It is said that the members of the committee have no successor to Mr. Healey in mind but it is reported the chairman will not be selected from out side the present committee.
