Albany Democrat If Linn and Benton will take the bridge and run it a free bridge Is the proper thing, but if the city of Albany has ..to pay the expjenseB of keeping it, a toll : bridge Is a necessity. .That Is the sltaatloa in a nut shell and we might . as well face the music. ' , --; Albany -Democrat There is some talk of a move to take a part of Benton'-county opposite" Albany: and attach It to Linn county, and a part of Linn county opposite Corvallia? and attack it to Benton county. : but this will probably never be done except on paper, though there may be orne good features to the proposition.' t . i - I :Y . - - i :- . ; .: The first meal Is to be served at noon today at the new City Bsstaar- ant. :;lt wjft be a chicken dinner, and will ready for the public 'at noon.

For the . latter a ten toot stage of water - is required, ! and the owners ' are wondering if future freshets of this winter or spring will make that warehouse aecesslble- The proposed new grade for the Corvallis ferry was the subject of a verbal report to the counoil Monday night. A written report, granting authority to the council to build the grade bad been written out: and sign ed by all members of the street com' mittee, but by - mistake : Chairman JJenkle bad left Itv at borne. . The councllmen took no action on the matter, preferring to - wait for the written report. As all three members of the street committee signed there port, it is likely that the - council wilt agree to the matter at the next meet-, lag. . The street committee Is Henkle, Wilbanks and Creee. .. . ' Chester Skeels was ; up from Falrmount precinct Monday.' Be lives a mile beyond the Benton coun ty approach to the ' Albany bridge He says the movement . among the people there generally is not for tak ing a slice from Benton and adding it to Linn. Everybody in the section he says, desires to remain In Benton. What they do want is - action of any kind that will relieve from the toll they .have to pay , on the Albany bridge. They are taxed, they eay, to keep up bridges in Alsea, in . Kings Valley and other sections of the county and a ferry at Corvallis. They claim that an equitable arrange ment would be for Benton to accept Albany's offer to give this county half the bridge in good repair, so that the tell might be removed, and future renaira be kenfc ud bv , taxation in both counties. 1 SENT TO JAIL ' For Forty!
