improved their Austin property by
tearing out the old cross ties. sills.

and replacing them with new ones.
Az usual. the old timbers were piled
and burned. though several persons
asked for the privilege OF hauling
them away and using them for fuel.
No doubt the bridge men had their
orders to burn them and could do
nothing else. Last winter we had
tags to tie on our shovel handles re
minding us to save shovelful of
