There has been so much Bald among taxpayers generally regard ing the deal made by the county court for taking down the old bridge, that the Courier, which represents the public, has found It necessary to see whether the criticisms, which in many cases were sharp, had any foundation. We hope that It will not be a libel to state that the Couri er has not heard a single comment on this deal that was favorable to the action of the court. There were two points on which nearly all agreed. The first was that the deal with the bridge company was unbusi nesslike and the second was that the 20 per cent profit paid was, to say the least, largely in excess of fair figures. The Courier la not giving its own opinion In this matter for the reason that to do bo might hurt the Judge's feelings and we have no desire to do this. However, we will call attention to one fact, which Is that the bridge company has had hold of both ends of the rope when ever it had business with Josephine county. The steel bridge deal will Illustrate this. Without further comment we call attention to the ar ticle headed "Taking Down the Old Bridge." The facts given are as near correct as it was possible to se cure, and the figures are certainly conservative In the extreme. BUUXBS8 POINTERS 4 MMHMKIIIIIHMHH Dr. Flanagan, Physician and Surgeon.
