JEFFERSON PEOPLE AGAIN ASK
BRIDGE

A large petition was presented to
Jefferson County Court at the regu-
lar session on Monday asking them to
take action on the proposed bridge at
Keys Ferry, in Harpers Ferry district
to connect jefferson county and the
northern section of West Virginia
with a road through Loudoun county,
Va, and thence to Washington, Civ
ing route about 20 miles closer than
the present route. A similar petit
ion was presented to the court over a
year ago and nearly 100 citizens came
in person asking that the bridge be
put at Bloomery, claiming that it will
serve more people as three magister-
ial districts border on the Shenand-
oah river. with Charles Town district
in the middle. The court has no pow
er to fix the proposed route or bridge
but the matter is entirely in the hand
of the State Road Commission which
had one or two surveys made last
summer. The Road Commission how
ever, usually asks the county courts
to adopt some route they recommend
The cost of the bridge if the road is
built will be over 100000.
A complaint was made to the court
of the various railroad crossings in
Jefferson county. both the Baltimore
and Ohio and the Norfolk and West
ern Railroads. Both men and wo-
men entered protest as to the dam
gerous crossings, some of them said
to be badly in need of watchmen, and
most of them without sufficient sig
nails.
