Although Judge Whitthorne, of the
county court, has not been able to
place the $1S,500 Of six per cent bridge
warrants authorized at the April
term of the county court locally, he
believes that he has succeeded in sell
ing them out of the state. He has
found it a difficult matter to place six
per cent obligations at par owing to
the stringent money market and the
increased rate Of discounts fixed by
the federal reserve banks.
Just as soon as the warrants are
disposed of County Superintendent of
Roads Butler and the members of the
highway commission Will be ready to
proceed with the building of the four
bridges that are authorized. Super
infendent Butler has practically fin,
ished the blue prints and the plans
for the four bridges and if he does
not get bids within his estimates he
will build them without contractor.
These bridges are across the Bear
Creek pike, one on the Franklin road
