In view of the fact that men sena out to represent us at.the Coututy Council would submit to the construc- tion of a steel bridge only fourteen feet in width is almost incredible. These men, supposed to be possessed with common sense, have really Bab-, mittedte bnilci a long narrow bridge across the river, so narrow that two Warm; cannot pass between the rail- ings, and the fact is that if twe single one horse rigs were to meet 'and those horses anyways nervous those horses could not not pass, and as a horse and rig cannot turn on suchanarrow space then what -is to be done? The oillY thins -is -for either driver to rail/Mit to unhitch the horse and run his buggy off the bridge,atal we wonder which of ' the men will' agree to do this. The people here state most positively that this bridge is to be one Of the greatest mistakes ever -made in the County anda Movement is being, made to have matters recetifled as the . public de- clares that it is not a. foot bridge that is wanted but a g od structure at least sixteen feet in wi In daylight the trouble of nieeting on the bridge might be averted by wait- ing-till'tharotbrer--croseter firetrbut-ar night people will be very helpless -on such a narrow pass, All we can say is that people of the surrounding towns and couutryshoulteven yet for indiv- idual comfort, make a strong protest, Whileit is not too late to aeethat abridge is eontructed suitable to such a very public crossing andsave the inconyen-- lance of a lifetime for all in the county Voice of the Public. • eollaorne 'FARMERS CLUB -Wednesday even - log last a meeting was held at the home of Mr Eftigh LIM for the purpose of organizing a Farmer's (Rub..
