"A toll bridge has found great favor among the country people, and I am sure that when the time comes for tho holding of an election to bond the county that it will carry by a large majority. "And I am Just aa certain that the State of Washington will be glad and willing to make the appropriation to take off the burden or trie Donas irom the county at the end of two years, and not later than four years, so that the countv will not have to pay any big sum toward the project, but is just lending its credit to hasten the building of this great link in uie.ncmc ruga wav."
