The fact that two iron bridges have been swept away in Gre
NADIA County during some of the recent floods is at least cir
cumstantial evidence going to show that the bridges were not
properly erected, hence it behOOves the members OF the board OF
supervisors of the County to see that nothing is overlooked when
public work is completed and the board is asked to inspect and
receive it.
We are not undertaking to say that the bridges were not
erected according to plans and specifications or that there was
any shoddy or imperfect material in them but certain it is that
if iron bridges are to yield to big waters, then we had as we'll
either build wooden bridges or no bridges at all. The purse OF
the tax payers of the County cannot stand building iron bridges
over the same streams every few years or even every dozen
years.
Just here we want to observe that one bridge company has
been doing a large percent, practically all, of the iron, and some
of the wooden, bridge building in the County for the past sew
eral years. We understand that this firm has been the lowest
bidder and under the law and the rules of letting public con-
tracts was of course entitled to the contracts, but 1t might be
well for the supervisors to think over how t is that one, and on
ly one, iron bridge company can underbid all other similar con-
Germs on the erection of bridges in this County. The supervisors
might inquire into adjoining Counties and ascertain II the same
bridge company is getting bridge contracts there.
We have heard it said by some who were IN a position to
know that bridge companies allotted counties: In, other words,
when a bridge contract was to be let, the fact that there were
several bidders did not necessarily signify that there was COM
petition in prices, and that the bridge companies did not know
in advance who would get the contract or had the lowest DID.
Now we do not mean by these observations to cast any reflec-
ton on the gentlemen who constitute the bridge company get
ting the iron bridge building in this County. Ii our observa-,
tons or surmises are correct as to understanding" between
bridge companies, they are perhaps only doing what is regard
would have the supervisors have their eyes wide open and do
some twentieth century business, too, for the County.
We understand that it was insisted by some that the Baker
creek bridge was too low when it was erected; anyway it is
down and the money of the taxpayers will have to rebuild it.
If iron bridges cannot be erected to withstand our heaviest

rains, then is it not time for the supervisors to inquire into the
whereforeness, and perhaps let some local man build the old
fashioned wooden bridge?
This is q mighty good time for our supervisors to double their
care, caution and vigilance as to awarding contracts for public
work and as to paying out public money. We have known some
of the predecessors of the present board to bubble much and
long about paying out small Sums and then turn round and vote
away sums many times larger when there was little warrant in
law or equity for the allowance.

0N q cold November night, In the
year 1915, the English mail
coach. on its way from London
to Dover, was carrying among its pas
sengers a Mr.. Jarvis Lorry. a London
banker of the well-knOwn firm OF
Tellson & Co. AS the coach stumbled
along In the darkness. there arose De
fore him the vision OF an emaciated
figure with hair prematurely white.
All night between him and the spectre

again and again.

About eighteen years before the
story opens, DR.. Manette. a prominent
young physician Of Paris. had sud-
denly disappeared. Everything was
done to discover some trace of him,
but in vain. The loss Of her husband
caused his wife such anguish that she
resolved to bring up her little daughter
In ignorance of her fathers fate; ana
when in two years she died. she left
little Lucie under the guardianship OF
Tellson & Co., to whose care DR..
Manette for many years had ~intrusted
his financial affairs.
Strange tidings concerning the Doc
tor had just come from Paris, n Mr..
Lorry was on his way to meet his
--- ~- o-~1>So <o hnr tho fo IRE Of
her early life. This was a duty from
which the kind-hearted banker shrank,
and when he saw the slight golden
haired girl who came to meet him, his
heart almost failed him but his task
was accomplished at last.
"And now" concluded Mr.. LOrry,
'your father has been found. He Is
alive, greatly changed, but alive. He
has been taken to the house Of a for
mer servant in Paris, and we are going
there. L to identify him, you to re-
store him to life and love-"
The servant that sheltered DR.. Ma
nette was a man by the name Of De-
FARCE who, with his wife, kept a wine
shop In the obscure district of st. An
tome. The banker and Lucie were
taken to an attic where a haggard,
white-haired man sat on a low bench,
making shoes, a wreck OF a man, Cd
livious of all around him.
Again was the Channel crossed, and
again the old inquiry whispered in the
ear of Jarvis Lorry:
II hope you care to be recalled to
life?".

Five years later, in the court room
of the Old Bailey in London. a young
Frenchman was on trial for his life.
Near him sat an untidy looking ind1-
vidual by the name of Sydney Carton.
With his eyes fixed on the ceiling. he
was unobservant, apparently. of all
that passed around him ; but it was he,
who, first noticing the extraordinary
resemblance between the prisoner end
himself, rescued Charles Darnay from
the web of deceit which had been spun
around him.
Between these two young men. the
striking resemblance was in outward
appearance only. Charles Darnay wea

SURELY THE SCHOOL SHOULD COME BEFORE THE
STREETS.

We have been told that some are offering the argument
against the proposed issue of $125, 900 in school bonds and the
erection of a high school building in Grenada, that if the bonds
are issued. then the town will be unable to issue bonds to do any
street paving. We are loath to believe that anybody seriously
entertains the idea that the public school and the welfare OF
the children of Grenada should be made a matter secondary to
paving streets, or any street. Surely the children of Grenada
come before the identifying of any streets or street or the COM
fort of automobile owners and riders.

To Sydney Carton, who had followed
his friends to Paris, am an inspfra-
ton. Had he not promised Lucie that
be would die to save a life she loved?
By bribery. he gains admittance to the
prison Darnay is removed unconscious
from the cell, and Carton sits down to
await his fate.
Along the Paris streets six tum-
Drills are carrying the days wine to la
guillotine. In the third a sits a young
man with his hands bound. AS the
cries from the street arise against him
they only move him to a quiet smile as
he shakes more loosely his hair about
his face.
Crash! A head is held up and the
knitting women who are ranged about
