BRIDGE REPAIRS ARE
TAKEN IN TIME

The county road gang is now repair
ing the Marshall bridge, six miles up
New stringers and abutments will
render it safe till such time as the
money is available for an entire new
structure. Tho old stringers were in
terrible shape. Luck was with US
that the bridge didn't go last spring.
The Gunnison bridge directly north
of town has also been given a once
over, and the abutments and piers
strengthened, so that q flood next
spring will not get such a start As
last June when it threatened to wash
il away.
Commissioner Miller and Road Su-
perintendent Wiley are also planning
a wing dam above the Hartman bridge
that will straighten the current into
the main channel once more.
If "stitch in time, saves nine," this
county money will be well spent. It
is expensive work saving bridges when
the torrents of the Gunnison are NOV
ing full force.
