BRIDGE PETITION IN
Request fur An Election On the
Canadian Bridge Made
Upon Powers.
That bridge across the Canadian
is going to be built, and that with
out any unreasonable delay.
For some time a petition has
been in circulation asking that the
board of county commissioners call
an election to submit the matter
to the people, and it was signed by
practically . every one to whom it
was presented, the great need of
such a structure having been real
ized for years, and there being such
a state of the county finances that
a bond issue covering its erection
would not increase the tax rate a
single cent, no reasonable person
could object to affixing his name.
The petition was turned over to
the commissioner's court Wednes
day afternoon, and that body will
give it consideration at the earliest
possible date, calling an election
and complying with the expressed
desire of the peoDle.
Of course the bond issue will
carrv. Amarillo needs the bridge,
and it will open up a vast territory
that has hitherto been closed to
trade at this point during many
months of the year, and will give a
great impetus to the settling of the
rich country beyond the river
which has been held back on ac
count of the frequent troublesome
rampages of the Canadian.

and stated that he would fight the
opening of Pierce street, as the
portion occupied by his buildings
was private property, and could be
opened only by condemnation pro
ceedings. "I have occupied this part of the
street ten years and have made
many improvements on the proper
ty which cannot be torn away or
removed without a great deal of
inconvenience and loss," said Mr.
Thompson, "and I do not propose1
to have the city force a highway

property holders on the north side

convenience to that section of the
city and induce trayel from Buch

is greater.
