One Of the pledges in bringing the Dixie Highway
through Madison County that should be free from
tolls There is a toll bridge the Kentucky riv
er between Lexington and Richmond This bridge,
which is now private property must be secured for the
counties OF Madison and Fayette
Moreover, the bridge must be wholly rebuilt and
made suitable for interurban line which will run from
Lexington to Berea, and beyond into the mountains.
Fayette County is ready to do its part. 1t would be
necessary for Madison County to issue bonds for about
$3sooo Madison County is bonded for 100000, and
is paying this debt the rate OF per year The
bridge will only extend Indebtedness little over
two years.
Let provide for this new bridge with enthusiastic
readiness!
