County officials say that tho bridges
must bo ropnlrcfj. Stato Engineer
Johnson was horo last week and ho
says that tho bridges must bo repair
ed. Tho spans of tho Osgood bridge
just south of North Plnttothnt aro
still standing are worth fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars. In caso of
water In tho South Platte during tin
winter and spring thoso spans would
go out. Thoy must bo saved and In
order to save them tho brlilgo must
bo ronalrcd. County Attorney Keofo
with the asslstanco of somo of tho
best legal talent In tho County has
decided that thoro Is a way by which
a special tax can bo levied aiJ tho
nocossary repairs made. This thoy en
poet to do. It seems absolutely neces
sary. On tho othor hand every road
ovorsoor has boen notlflod not to
mako any repairs or construction at
any culvort or brldgo whoro now tim
ber or other material Is needed.
Thcro Is no money In tho treasury
for thoso repairs. Tho road and bridge
fund has been largoly overdrawn.
Taxes aro not. being paid. Tho spend
ing of monoy on roads and bridges
must stop except whoro absolutely
necos i-iry. Every real business man
in tho county will npprovo of this at
titujde on tho part of tho Commission
ers. K"cp within your lncomo Is good
buslnefs In public affairs as well ns
In prlvnto affairs. Thoy wont without
ronds i nd bridges In early days.
Thoro v is no road tax then. If wo do
not have money to build roads, cul
verts and bridges wo can go without
them now. And bo it goos. Tho Com
missioner aro In session every Mon
day and thoy will ho glad to hear
jfrom anyono who has a bettor plan
to propose.
