K u maj 3m, 83 another Bridge a Rocs the Wabash River a movement is foot among the Farmers Washington and Tipton townships for the location another Bridge across the Wabash River above the City. This prot Jet is also backed by several prominent business men Logansport and at present it looks As though such a thing might be possible. Tobias Julian and Noah s. Laros e Are among those who a a urging the matter. Their plan is to have a Bridge put across the Wabash River at the South end seventeenth Street to connect that Street with the Road running South through Tipton and Washington townships. It is thought by so doing a great portion the Trade that goes from this Section the county to Peru can be brought to this City. This Road running South will join the Tipton township Pike and there make it convenient for the Farmers to part the county to reach Thi City. Three petitions Are being circulated and All have been signed by a great number. Each person signing these petitions agrees to subscribe a certain sum Money to Forward the per jct about $1,500 having already been subscribed. These petitions will be presented to the county commissioners during their present ses Irion and the commission ers will be asked to locate the Bridge and donate a sum towards helping along the work. A meeting those interested in the matter will be held Friday evening at the fifteenth Street engine House and is requested that there be a Large attendance. The Bridge if located will Cross the River just above the pan handle shops. It is claimed by the Farmers Southeast the City that the Road running Down to the third Street Brilt age in a great part the year almost impassable to loaded teams. The citizens the Bast end Are quite Entliss Mastic and it is probable that at no Distant Day a Bridge will Span the raging Wabash at seventeenth Street. State Indiana is. We. Rosenthal.
