BRIDGE IS NEEDED ON WORK STREET

(Petition Signed by Practically Every Person to Whom Presented—Should be Built. A petition has been circulated in Rensselaer asking Trustee Harvey J. Wood to take steps for the erection of a bridge across the Iroquios river at Work street, whldh is the street at the south end of Front street. The approaches for a bridge at that point were built several yeans ago and a bridge would be a great convenience to the people of both the city and country. Practically every person in Rensselaer has signed the petition and it is believed there will be no serious opposition to its construction. As it is at this time persons in the south 'part of town on one side of the river are compelled to go to the Washington street bridge to get lactloss the river, going almost a half mile out of the way. Since a bridge for that point was first requested after the dredge ditch was completed about five years have elapsed. It will be necessary in order to secure the bridge to bring the matter to the attention of the commissioners and to secure an appropriation from the county couniSK, I* will be a big improvement anef one that wilT benefiit' thie entire city and especially the south side. For baby’s croup, Willie’s dally cuts and bruises, mamma’s sore throat, Grandma’s lameness—Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil—the household remedy. 25c and 50c.
