A fine new cement bridge, 8 feet by nearly 30, over the ravine on East Grand avenue at Fourth street was opened to the public this week and is proving a splendid improve ment. Mayor Spaid informs the Neab that the county court hns promised another good bridge on Grand avenue a few blocks east of the one just finished. He says al so that taxpayers should pay their taxes at once so that the town may have money to pay its part of the expenses incidental to these improvements. There will be somc filling and grading to do on u est Grand at the railroad cross ing as soon as the depot is moved and the tracks and switches put in shape. In order that the city may not be embarrased by a lack of funds in these matter", citizens should pay their taxes now and enable the authorities to get this work out of the way by the time bad weather sets in.
