herewith accept the recommendation OF
the safe highway department. in their
recommendation that the bridge be of
steel. and aecept their reasons for dis
couraging concrete as logical and sound
reasoning.
"Our preference is a low level steel
bridge. preferably with reinforced con
crete approaches
1--WE would respectfully urge that the
Polk county court give careful consid-
eration to the plans for this type of
bridge. submitted by the state high
way commission and accepted by the
board Of viewers appointed by the Mar.
ion county court about one year age
the plans and complete specifications of
which are on file in the county clerk s
office in Marion county. All require
ments of the laws have been complied
with. hence. if these plans were accept
ed. contracts could be let at once and
actual construction begun as soon a:
the season would permit.
Funds Dissipated
4" We fully appreciate the position OF
the new members of our court and de
rlore the wasteful and eXtravagant eN.
penditure OF the road and bridge funds
during the year Just closed, whereby
the funds provided for a bridge one
wear ago were dissipated and in addi
tion deficit of $4,000 created.
s'We realize that in order to proceed
with the construction of this bridge at
this time, all road Improvements dur
ing the coming season will, in large
degree, have to be curtailed. but in
view of the fact that practically double
the amount ever expended in any one
wear was put on the roads last season,
also the fact that this bridge is of gen.
eral use to all of the people of Polk
county. we ask their help and co-opera
tion in building now.
"And be it further resolved. thai
we residents of, and representing the
entire eastern end of Polk county con
tiguous to the proposed bridge, adop'
these resolutions with all good feeling
towards the county courts of both coun
ties interested, and recognize the fac
that each court is acting, and wishes
to act, fer the very best interests OF
all concerned. and that an honest differ
enee of opinion exists, and we hereby
declare il our firm opinion that M
headwav can be made in this matter
otherwise than by a compromise whici
will be in no MANNER humiliating tt
either court.
''For these reasons, therefore, W.
adopt these resolutions, and earnestly
and profoundly urge their serious con
sideration by said county courts.
Resolved. further that copy o.
those resolutions be mailed OF deliver
ed TO each member Of the Polk county
court. and that they be given to thu
press for publication. y

Wheat Trade Small
and Market Nervous

Chicago, Feb. 5.--Trade in wheat was
small and the market nervous, dispo-
sition to wait until the political situa-
tion clears being evident. May wheat
opened up one and remained unchang-
ed at $1.69. July opened up 2, later
losing 34 to $l.47H. September open
ed up n, later declining | 3-4 to $l,37.
Corn had strong undertone. Unfav-
orable Argentine weather was respon-
sible. May opened up 3-4 cent and
gained ! l.S, going to $l.00 is. July
opened up u. later gaining l1a to 9s
rs.
Oats were strong at the start, but
developed weakness with wheat. May
opened up 3-4, subsequently losing "A
to 54A. July opened up 5-s, later de-
elined Is to 53 3-S.
Provisions ruled firm but quiet.
Shortly before the market closed
May wheat jumped 5A, going to $l.75A
bushel. Covering by shorts, damage
to winter wheat by cold weather and
better feeling in Gosh circles was given
as the cause.

MADRID, Feb. IS (Via Paris)-
Spanish neutrality was the subject OF
animated discussion in the Cortes last
night. when several deputies, including
Seniors Rodes and Garcia, questioned
the premier, Count de Romanones, on
the attitude of the government in the
war. Deputy Rodes demanded an ex-
pliclt statement upon what the gov
eminent proposed to do
The premier said the government had
shown its attitude very distinctly in
the action taken in connection with
several moves by the United States.
one, the invitation to intervene for the
establishment of peace, and another.
an invitation TO declare War against
Germany
Deputy Rodes. interruptlng, said this
declaration was incorrect, because the
United States mad never invited Spain
to declare war
After considerable excitement the
premier replied that in reality the
United States had invited Spain only
to break off diplomatic relations with
Germany, and added:
Spain is the friend of all the bellig-
erents and all neutrals and for that
very reason cannot undertake discus
sions or negotiations which would have

and our tranquility"
