The offer of the Ixine county court to pay for 50 feet of the 150 of pro posed concrete trestle approach on the west end of the Springfield bridge will be accepted by the highway com. mission in the opinion of Judge C. P. Barnard, who has been negotiating with the highway department. He «ay« that State Engineer Roy Klein has practically agreed to recommend the 150 feet of trestle under these conditions and as the highway com missioners have indicated they would accept any solution worked out by the engineers It Is likely a compromise will be reached. Cost $3825 Assumed The highway commission at Its last meeting offered to bnild 100 feet more bridge but the West Springfield peo ple held for 150 feet more before they would agree to the dismissal of the Injunction. The cost of the last 50 feet of bridge would be #5.000, while the cost of a fill Is but 1117#, Noble Grand; A J McKlIn, Right Supporter to the Vice Grand; W. G. remodel and repaint the building.
