The bill for the state to build a highway. bridge across the Mantle river has been put in the legislature, and it is hoped that the state will ap- propriate sufficient funds to build a new bridge instead of renodeling the old one, as has been suggested as this would really mean throwing the money away, as this ol dbridge is too light for the present traffic. If the state fails to appropriate for the bridge 1t will then be up to the county to finance the construction. as the war depart ment has ordered a new bridge or the elimination of the old one as it stands at present, and the people of this end of the county would not stand for its London Day
