What Is known as the TIce house bridge bill, No. 471, passed by the gneral assembly recently has been ilgned by Gov'bmor Small and Is now a law. ThU facr ig of general Interest for the reason that the bill provides for the bpUding of bridges between states.
The new law provides or the con- ¦truction and maintenance ot bridges across any streams between Illinois and adjoining atates or upon any road whtch lies upon or which cros¬ ses the boundary line between this and adjoining states. Such bridges raay .be constructed by counties act¬ ing In conjunction with a county or other subAfdtnate divI^):on of tbe ad- jpintng atoie, :t>iit pot more than one- 4i*lf the c(At4ihan be^bom by tbe (lllnols cbtfnty. Provides, when ne^epsary, for the issue of' bonds subject to referendntn. When the cost exceeds $1,000 partial payment may he made during construction.
In view of a fact that a move¬ ment has been started for a bridge acro«s the Wabash river at VIn¬ cennes, this new law is of more than ipaaalng Interest 'to tUs .people of Flora and towns on the Midland Trail.
Indiana paaaed a similar law at the last session of the legislature of that st^te.
