Bridge Boquets

From the Blaine Journal.
1t is announced that the county
commissioners will next month de-
termine whether the proposed $780,
900 steel bridge over the Nooksack
river at Marietta will be built or
not. According to the Bellingham
papers. this bridge is very much
desired by a large percentage of The
populace at and near Marietta, in
the Mountain View district and on
Lummi reservation, as it is possible
that a ferry will be built this year
from the reservation to Lummi is
land as proposed by Frank Wright
last year."
The desires of Mr. Wright, The
wealthy fish canneryman of Lummi
island, probably has more TO do
with the proposed costly bridge than
any other thing. There are also 6.
number of influential men who nave
summer homes on Lummi ISLAND
and these persons are not likely 10
throw any straws in the way of the
bridge matter. We question very
much the statement that the Noun
tain View people want this bridge.
The truth will no doubt leak out af-
ter a while tnat this bridge is faith
cred by few Influential people
who want more easy access to their
property at the expense of the tax
payers Meanwhile the comparative
" cheap bridge across Dakota
creek near Blaine must be closed,
a bridge that has been maintained
since the first roads were opened IN
this section.
