Bridge Delay
May Bring Suit
Possible claims for damages
against contractors for the Ma
rion-Polk county bridge at Inde
pendence will be discussed with
Marion county and state offi
cials, according to Judge C. F.
(Jack) Hayes, of Dallas. He will
be accompanied by W. E. Know
er and C. L. Burbank, Polk
county commissioners.
Delay is blamed by the Mar
co Construction company, con
tracting firm, upon lack of steel
which is now being fabricated
and not expected to be available
vntil the first of the year with
the contraction with the con
duction company calling for
completion of the project by
December 31.
Operation of the Marion-Polk
county ferry near the bridge site
costs the two counties around
$7000 a year. Judge Hayes points
out, and also the delay will cause
ome other damages in the de
livery of logs and farm products
which cannot be handled by the
ferry.
Train Hits Auto;
None Injured
Geneva, N. Y., Oct. 1 m
While a train bore down on them,
Mrs. Fenton Stevens of Stanley,
N. Y., and her four young chil
dren huddled in their automobile
last night.
Stevens tried in vain to push
the (tailed ear off the grade
crossing.
The locomotive struck. The
car overturned and slid onto an
other track.
All lived to tell about it.
Mrs. Stevens, who is expecting
another child, said she kept the
children in the car because she
feared the train would run over
them if they jumped out. The
children range in age from one
to five.
The 25-year-old mother and
the children were taken to a hos
pital. Attendants said no injur
ies were apparent.
Stevens was not hurt.

crow. Moon reported.
Funeral services are to be
held at Stayton, the former
home of the Woosleys.

Senate Passes
Postal Pay Hike
Washington, Sept. 1 W) The
senate today passed by voice a
bill calling for a $100-a-year
pay increase for almost all of
the 300,000 postal employes.
The measure estimated to
cost $61,000,000 a year goes
now to the house. Earlier this
week, the house approved a bill
authorizing a postal pay hike of
$180,000,000 a year.
The senate bill would give al
most all regular employees a
flat $100 a year in addition to
their annual salaries. Hourly
wage workers would receive a
two and one-half cent an hour
increase. Fourth class postmas
ters would receive a two and
one-half per cent increase in
their basic pay.
The senate bill would also
wipe out the two lower grades
of postal employes and set most
starting salaries at $2,800 a year.
The starting salaries under the
house bill would be $2,900.
