Bridge plans stir Monroe County farmers and merchants
The Salt River Bridge project near Joanna and river crossing at Asher Ford are advanced as county and local supporters pledge funds. Farmers on both sides of the river contribute 2.70 each, Monroe City business leaders raise 1340, enabling a 4000 bond. If costs stay under 3000, the project could proceed with shared county and citizen funding. The paper notes past local improvements and urges building to save lives. Separately, Mrs Anna Kelly and Mr Carcello Corini of Rome are wed at St Josephs Cathedral with Consul Giovanni Banchetti in attendance, followed by a breakfast and plans to reside at 185 Goodell Street after July 1.
