INSPECTED Found to le ill if Not lln Final Ac lit Next Meeting There Seems to too Mill it Will The erection of a new bridge over the canal at Ash street is now almost a cor tainty it being conceded on all hands that such a structure has needed for many years At a meeting of the County Com missioners held at Troy on last Monday W B the representative from this end of the comity laid the impor tance of the erection of the structure this spring before the members and urged that they take immediate action While this was not done arrangements were made for the Commissioners to come to this city yesterday and view the present bridge and discuss the erec tion of a suitable one to take its place According to Alexander and Coppock arrived on the nine oclock car and were met by Mr Begner As it was to be a joint session with the members of the City Council Messrs Orr and Hirt were present to represent this body as was also Engineer Whitlock and Commissioner Shannon Together with these gentlemen there were pres ent quite a number of citizens owning property and having interests across the canal The first thing to do was to inspect the old bridge which the entire party did spending more than an hour The true condition of the arch bridge may not be known to many It was con during the summer of 1854 at a cost of and with the tion of altering the approaches a few years thereafter there have been no changes whatever in the bridge Hun tor and Silvers were the contractor and they the work to Jom who did the mason work under the of A G The stones forming the arch have settled until it is now mite a distance lower than when the bridge was erected The stones are also crumbling and there arc many who believe that the bridge is unsafe On account of its height it lias always been a nuisance not only to those traveling in vehicles but pedes trians as well Mr Segner being familiar with the condition of the bridge is heartily in fa vor of it being replaced with a new one Mr Alexander also had a knowl edge of it and has already signified his intention of voting for the erection of a low bridge to take its place Mr Cop pock who was recently elected a mem ber of the Board of Commissioners never inspected the bridge He care fully looked it over and acknowledged that it was in a far worse condition thai he had an finding it The Com completed the tion assembled at the City Clerk office where they further discussed th erection of the new bridge with tin Councilmen At a recent session of Council was taken whereby thecity is to the expense of tearing down the ok bridge and allow the Commissioners ti nse the stone At the consultation tha morning the Commissioners that they could use the iron to good ad vantage and the Councilmen them that it would be given to tlioni i they desired it There seems to be no doubt but tha the bridge will bo erected although th action of the Commissioners will no he taken until their next meeting which will be a week from next Mot day Mr Segner urged the calling of special session of the Board today so a definite answer might be giv en the members of Council thus eu abling them to commence work at one to tear down the old bridge but Mr Alexander preferred to defer the tion the regular meeting was finally agreed upon The cost of erecting the new bridg will ho about four thousand dollars Owe drawback which has the Commissioners is the small of money they have on hand in th bridge fund One reason for deferring the final action was to enable them to get the monthly reports that they might know exactly how much money they had on hand Regarding the width of the bridge it is proposed to make the roadway twentyfour feet wide with walks eight feet wide on cither side Thin will tho bridge the same width oft is Ash street west of Main where the paving has been put down Commissioner Sugner that action will be taken at the next meeting the construction of the bridge The object of Council pushing tho matter at the present time is to give them a chance to remove the old bridge before navigation on the canal opens All hope that the Commission ers will not disappoint our citizens in the erection of this bridge

thieves harlots and heathen he was regarded as au outcast and a sinner Matthew belonged to this class It is difficult to conceive the intensity of that spirit of ostracism by which lie was excluded from intercourse with his country and the shock given to the pride arid prejudices of the Pharisees when they saw the rising young Rabbi of Galilee invite the hated publican to become his disciple Up to this stage of his career Jesus had done nothing so irreconcilable with Pharisaical ideas and standards as this Probably noth ing else that he could have done would have been so offensive in their eyes or served as a more distinct notification of the fact that instead of making con cessions to their prejudices it was his purpose iu utter disregard of the nar row and false distinctions of caste to welcome all classes and conditions to his standard Jesus saw in Matthew not simply the but a Verse It was the evidences of real manhood in Matthews face aud bearing that caught the Masters quick
