A dispatch from Marshfield reprints Charles A Coon’s critique of a 1885 bridge charter and county purchase plan. The piece argues the toll bridge policy favored certain towns, insists the 1868 action was needed for the county, and defends the county’s free bridge goal while challenging claims of fraud and self interest by Grand Rapids and Centralia.
