REQUEST THAT BRIDGES
BE BUILT AT ONCE

A letter was mailed to the state high
way commission Tuesday signed by E
E. Jaqueth, president of the Libby
Commercial Club, and H E. Brink
chairman of the board of county COM
missioners, calling attention to the GAM
age that had been done to roads and
bridges in this section by recent high
water. The commission was asked if IL
would be possible for it to start con-
struction in the near future on bridges
on the contemplated highway south Of
Libby, especially where 1t crosses Gran
tie creek and the main Fisher. The
argument is that it is waste of public
funds to repair bridges that will be
abandoned as soon as the proposed
highway is built. If the new bridges are
built, temporary roads could be built
to them from the present highway.
