Willan G Wickens told the county commissioners after a Washington trip that War Department officials assured a priority order would be mailed this week. He also reported federal participation in settlement of 45 percent of damage claims for the Erie avenue bridge construction. Negotiations settled three claims totaling 6250 with two more small settlements. Wickens said Carlisle township lacked full federal grant documents for a fire truck purchase and will be contacted. He discussed army guards for the tay bridges and that the Fifth Army Corps Area must handle applications. If the county guards, cost would be about 430,000 annually. Lorain police and sheriff now guard the bridges, but a full detail is pending army takeover.
