"One faction desires steel bridges and object to wood ' structures." said the' mayor, "while tha other faction will allow nothing but wooden bridgea to be built The one says wood bridges are too cheap while the other clalma that steel structures are too high. If they keep on quarreling over the - matter they will never get their bridges built no matter how badly they need them. If I had my way I would build woodea bridges, for they are cheaper and very serviceable." - , . BBUBOCOBB WTXTa BZOOTXB. r City Physician Zan has diagnosed tlie ease of J. H.
