Cochran Tuesday received a delegation from Cass county, headed by Legislator Fred Carsten, the call ers desiring to make the Louisville i bridge over the I'latte river, the only interior toll bridge in the state, a free bridge. The governor said lie believed new legislation might be needed. He pointed out that theie is now a law permitting two counties to purchase and pay out on a toll bridge. The Louisville bridge is own ed by stockholders. It is still in debt $(19,000. It is paying slowly because ot competition. The governor said he still favors his proposed plan of having all in terstate bridges converted into free 1 ridges by the states applying high way funds for purchase and apply ing tolls to pay the cost, this to be done over a period of years, until the bridges can be given free of toll to the use of the public. He thought this same principle could be applied to intrastate bridges.
