BRIDGE EIGHT
BRINGS LIVELY
LOBBY TO CITY
One of Most Active of the
Outside Campaigns Being
Carried on Here
TWO ASK STATES AID

One Of the livciest bits of lobby
ing IN the present session of the
Legislature is being carried on IN
connection with efforts TO get state
appropriations for building bridges
across the Missouri river n, Willis
ton and at Sanish. The bridge fight
already ha, been earned to Cover
nu: Sorlle, who has urged the san
ish and Willi>ton factions To reach
a compromise agreement before any
bridge bills reach the floor OF the
Legislature.
Represe Eckert Of Mckenzie
county, chairman of the Highways
committee, Is leading the fight for
the Winston bridge appropriation
while Representative Doyle. also of
Mckenzie county, Is active in be
half Of the SaniSh contentious. Sup
pOrters Of the proposals doubt if
both can be put over at the session.
Under the present law, up to $50
600 Il year may be appropriated by
the Legislature as state aid for build
ing bridges across Interstate or ma
OCG is held needed on both the pro-
posed Missouri river bridges.
Thus far neither side has shown a
disposlt !on to quit. Sanish bridge
lobbyists hold that they have the bet
ter proposition. They say that be
cause the Sanish bridge, connecting
Mountrail and Mckenzie counties,
would open up the TT. Berthold re-
servatiOn, the federal government
will pay Is percent of the cost, and
with - percent state aid the bridge
may be built without cost to the
counties. 1t also is contended that
the presen. federal road building
program through the reservation, to-
gether with Il Mckenzie county state !
program, would make the bridge an
important avenue of entrance to the
proposed Badlands National Park.
WillistOn supporters hold that the
bridge there, connecting Wiliston
and Mckenzie counties. would Join !
the two counties and be an import
ant part of crosscountry highways.
They advance the claims of Willis
ton as u marketing center for the
northwes, section of the state, and
point to the traffic by ferry.
The fight has grown rather warm,
and has brought several people from
northwest North Oak ota to the city.
The Sanish bridge advocates have
opened an information bureau for
legislators.

hausted condition, with their hands
and feet nearly frozen. A doctor
