Prospects Bright for Big Cotton Crop Here
Differences between Columbus citizens and the State Highway Department over the new No 3 bridge site near Columbus are resolved and the project returns to the early contract list. The bridge will imitate the Brazos at Richmond in design and be built between the present highway bridge and the Southern Pacific railroad bridge, with a planned July letting. The project includes substantial earth fill near the homes of JV Proks and Adam Burttschell, and follows the 1884 85 bridge that will be replaced. The Colorado News notes the county commissioners and local officials involved in the adjustment.
