entitled to a bridge that will af-
ford better traffic over this road
in all kinds of weather. It is re-
gretted that ‘Commissioner Bip-
pert was sick for there is need
for action in this matter at the
earliest possible date. An emer-
gehcy may arise at any moment
which will bring need for a better

ful. purpose but the time has come
