BRIDGES AND IMPROVEMENTS. Ceslde the three hrldtfcs already mentioned by the Chronicle th' Delta Company has completed one across the main canal near Connolly, s one at I.cutliisers. will soon complete one three miles north of the touislie. Hiving Hiv-ing access to the Cherry Creek road, and have three completed and anotbei fixed up on the south track. r.'niicer Cottrell says there Is plenty ot brl lxe timber now on hand and that other bridges will be built as soon .'is possible. pos-sible. Manager Snow Informed the editor when In Delia last week that w believer a number of fanners showed that a bridge was neede I at any point the company would be glad to put It In.

Is it not fair to assume. In both law and equity, that, the Delta Company, which took over the con-"trad con-"trad of the old company, should car ry out the provisions of the state contract con-tract under which at least a larger number of settlers bought their land? Was not the editor Justified In making mak-ing his statement, and lsn"t he en titled to that $10 a ord Mr. Snow promised If he found anything In the contracts requiring the company to build any bridges. Iisu please, Mr. Snow, The company Is also making another much needed Improvement In grading down the approaches to the bridge across the river.
