a second petition to the commission
ers of Cherry county to build a bridge
across the Niobrara near Brewers ford
The river is only about one hundred
feet wide where it is proposed to locate
the new bridge and a right of way has
been secured of the property owners
for a new road to the river so that it
is confidently expected that the petition
will be granted and a good substantial
bridge put in There are none that
look forward to the completion of this
bridge with more satisfaction than the
farmers of western Keya Paha county
