road works an Immense Improvement
both In the grade and ln the curve so
as to render travel much safer.
The work by the railroad company
will also be beneficial, the bents be

the cutoff the county used the dirt for-
making a 76 foot fill at the east end u,e city with 500 feet of new fire

was also eliminated and the floor of has several different kinds of tanks,
the Wild Horse cut Improved. I
The cutoff by the bridge Is now In
use and all that remains to be done
consists In the removal of a small
ledge of rock near one end. Within
few days this will have been removed
i-nd the railroad bridge will have been
Mrengthened so that the Improve
ments will be complete except for the
Kiirfaclng of the road. County Judge
Marsh says the surfacing work will
have to wait until the macadam plant
Ik brought down from the east end of
the county.
The steel for the new bridge over
the t'matllla has not yet arrived. The
county Is to place the concrete work
for this bridge nnd this work cannot
be done until the river Is low.
