TO BUILD BRIDGE
Across Umpqua River Near
Town of Kellogg.
COUNTY COURT MAKES AN ORDER
Convention of Hoad Suiiervisors or
Douglas County Will Ho Held
in ltoschiirg On Snt urduy
February 7.
Authorizing the construction of a
bridge across t lie Umpqua river, at
what is known as Dimniick's Forry,
near Kellogg; calling a special meet
ing of the road supervisors of Doug
Ins county, and considering the advis
ability of erecting a home for the
county Indigents were the chief mat
ters considered by the members of
the comity court prior to adjourning
today.
The petition to build a bridge at
Kellogg was presented by William
Cobb during the present term of the
county court nnd contained tho, sig
natures of about 1400 taxpayers of
the county. The proposed bridge will
be of about the same dimensions as
the Dillard structure and estimates
place the cost at approximately $3D,-
000. In authorizing construction of
the Kellogg bridge the court set out
the fact that the Dlmmick ferry was
probably the most used of any In the
county. It was also stated that the
river was dangerous at that paricu-
lar point nnd that a bridge wus deom-
ed necessary at this time.
The county engineer will probably
prepare the plans nnd specifications
for tho bridge at once In order that
some action niny be taken by the
court at the regular February term.
The bridge will bo of stoel construc
tion and will be strictly modern In
every particular,
