County Attorney Hugg Holds To Bridge Stand
County attorney Martin Hugg will stick to his view that the county cannot build the W Washington street bridge despite Attorney-general Taylors hint that counties must fund all bridges over 500 dollars. County commissioners lean noncommittal and may seek county council aid, though odds favor no appropriation. The council would need five votes, and country members from Dawson Johnson Pflindler and Huffman oppose, leaving slim chances for funding.
