W. P. McCee was selected as chair man or me meeting and J. W. Parrlsh ciea as secretary. Attorney B. F. Jones of Newport ex plained that the orglnal petition. ..v. ing for this bridge had been killed by mo acuon ot the viewers, who re ported favoring a location farther east, and did not report on the location ask led for In the petition at all. Mr. Jones said that the meeting would have to decide where they wanted the bridge and then either draw up new petitions or else secure the right of way. J. C. Dixon of Elk City moved that the nridge be located at what Is known as the Butler crossing, which Is the same site as was favored in the original pe titions.
