I GOOD ROAD IN SARPY. From Saturday's Paily. Over in Sarpy county, just across the Platte river auto and wagon bridge, there has always been a very rough piece of road leading from the river around to the' Burlington tracks. This has been caused by the continu ous travel over the sandy roadway, eaving it with deep ruts across tne road. Mr. Pollock, owner of the bridge, in conjunction with the com missioners of Sarpy county, each agreeing to pay one-half the cost, are now placing a car of stone dust some distance from the bridge, believing that it will soon become settled and make a permanent hard road. This one car will be used as a test, and if it proves as good as they think for. the work will probably be car ried on around to the railroad tracks, covering the rough places. ery commendable work, and there are several places on this side of the bridge that need the same attention.

There is one very much traveled bridge in Cass county that certainly needs the attention of the county commissioners real quick. It is along the road to Omaha, just as you strike the bottom road near the John Ruth erford place. We had occasion to cross this bridge twice last Sunday while en route to Omaha, and we con sidereal it in a very dangerous condi tion. The center of the old structure has sunken considerably, and makes one feel that at most any moment it might let him drop on through, when the finish would be a damage suit against the county. The way this b'idgo sets, almost crossway of the highway, it is dangerous enough at its best, and should be repaired and set right with the highway, or re moved altogether by turning the creek. o- a culvert. An old saying is, '"a stitch in time may save nine." SPECIAL TEACI I MRS EX A Ml N A -TION.
