South Prairie and Fairview precincts to decide whether a new Port of Tillamook shall be formed. At this election it will be decided by a majority vote in the four precincts. Happily, no ill feeling have manifested itself, and as it is a square cut issue to give the center of the county a good harbor and a 9ft. straight channel, all those who look up this as a necessity in the development of the county should go to the polls on Tuesday, and in that wav help boost the county.

[Q It looks to us if anyone is to blame for ' unsafe bridge« it is the road supervisors and not the county court. But thire are a few “knockers'' who have it in for the county court and they go for them. any. way, «hether they are at fault or not. The bridges ai it culverts in this county ate so numerous that it is no surprise to us that an accident will frequently oc cur until a different system of inspection is inaugurated and different material is used in their construction. Other coun ties have their troubles with bridge acci dents as well As this, and to avoid them as much ns possible in the future, it is necessary to u»e material that will not rot out In a few years. Therefore, we are oi the opinion, now that the county is opening up quite rapidly, with a great deal moie and heavier travel on bridges, that they should be more substantially built with iron and concrete. It will entail a large outlay and a numlier of years to bring about, but the Headlight believes that it is economy to do so and the best preventative to accidents, for when life is endangered we tell sure that lhn taxpayers would gladly acquiesce in the additional taxation it would entail in building substantial bridges which will not rot and decay in a few veers. 'I his is our solution to prevent accidents in the future, in (act, hail we had any thing to do with building bridges in this couutv, we would havediscarded wooden bridges years s«o. If anvoue is to blame lor bridge accidents in this eounty, then It is that the change from wood to iron and concrete is not taking place fast enough, and in that respect we are more or less nil to blame in not keeping pace w ith the grow ing need« of the county.
