ACTION FOR
BRIDGE not
POSSIBLE IN
next WEEK
Failure to Follow Legal Pro-
cedure Delays Appropria-
ton Asked by Promoters Of
South Side Bridge.
DISCUSSED BY COUNCIL

Because of failure to follow the
procedure prescribed by law to make
building appropriations through the
county council, no action can be TAX
en- by the county council Monday on
the South Side bridge project.
County Attorney Gath Freeman pre-
sented the law to the county commits
sioners at their meeting with a COM
mittee from the South Side Improve
ment association Saturday morning.
AS the citizens committee, headed
by E. NJ. Campaeld, had confidently
expected to ask for the appropriation
at the Monday meeting, calling of the
meeting was at first discussed, but it
was decided to go ahead and hold it
for discussion Of the project only.
Want $15o,ooo.
According to the law, an appropria-
ton must first be recommended by a
regular meeting Of the commissioners,
then it must be advertised for seven
days or more, and finally, after such
advertisement, must be presented to
the county council.
This procedure has not been fol-
lowed, as the appropriation was only
discussed a wek ago by the commits
S1OnerS, ana IL mas not even yet been
formally passed on by them. Advo-
Gates Of immediate building had
planned to have the appropriation
formally recommended by the commits
sioners and made by the county coun-
Gil at the Monday morning meeting.
The county commissioners are in
favor Of the appropriation, and it will
doubtless be recommended to the
council later.
