The county fathers" met in regu-
lar session this week and transacted
the business of the quarter. An i'm
partant part of the proceedings was
the authority given the county sur
veyor to advertise for bids for the
building of three bridges across Milk
river, at Glasgow, Malta and Saco
respectively. This is a move in the
right direction and will meet with
the earnest approval of every tax
payer in the county. The early con-
Summation of the deal is one devoutly
to be wished for.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to the proper location of
the new bridge at Glasgow. The
commissioners have several sites in
view, n ear the railroad bridge
and another on the Fort Peck road
directly south of town. 1t would
seem that the board, the members of
which have no interest in the mat
ter, should be depended upon to Mace
