COURT NOTES

Tho Knox county commissioners
hive been deyoting their attention
this week to inspecting the many
culverts and bridges scattered
throughout Knox county

sioners were in the eastern part of
the county. Thursday they visited

and Friday morning they left for an
inspection tour through jefferson and
Prown townships.
Commissioner Bradrick, in conyer.
sation with Banner representative
Friday morning, stated Knox county
is badly in need OF new bridges and
culverts. He stated that the tour of
inspection has demonstrated to the
commissioners that the sum of $780,
600 is necessary to make the required
improvements to bridges and cul-
verts. Mr.. Bradrick said that unfor-
tunately the bridge fund of the coun-
ty is depleted at the present time
and In fact there has been no surplus
since the flood of 1919.
Commissioners Bradrick stated that
IN several sections OF the county tenn
pcrary bridges and culverts are in
use which are unsafe. He said that
many new bridges were needed, but
the commissioners are power!ess to
act because of the fact that no sur.
plus remains in the bridge fund.
