Judge Mitchell and Judge Boyd,
were here last Friday to meet the
members of the county court of Wash
ington county on the proposition of
building bridge over Big River at
the Highley ford. just northwest of
Frankclay. Washington county is to
build a rock road from Potosi to the
river, of which about about mile
and half is in st. Francois county,
and this county is to build the bridge.
This will make the distance of travel
between here and Potosi about half the
distance we now travel. and as this
section did not get any of the State
Highway roads money. it is no more
than fair that we have this bridge and
road. The people of this section of
the county feel very thankful to the
County Court for this proposed bridge.
