New Bridge Road to Be Considered by Commissioners Thursday
Commissioners will view both the current road and a proposed new route to the White River bridge in an effort to resolve the dispute. Hugh Rogers offers a compromise by allowing a new road through his land, shortening the route by over 390 yards and forming a triangular tract north of the new road. Opponents argue land damage outweighs public benefits while supporters cite a straighter link to the bridge and town.

Cases Not Heard Delayed to Future Date in Meridith Tax Cases
Judge Houghton did not arrive from Shoals delaying the tax dodging cases of Assessor Daily versus W R Meridith Alexander Leslie and Dr F M Harned. County attorney Ezra Mattingly Gardiner and Shmp will argue for the county while the defendants and Washington National Bank are represented. The ruling concerns whether the bank is in contempt for refusing to allow the assessor to examine books to see if property was sequestered for tax purposes. Hearing postponed until next week due to the judge’s absence and other affairs.
