Carroll and White Counties Disagree About Joint Bridges.

The commissioners of Carroll and White counties recently met in joint session to consider the building of joint bridges over the Tippecanoe river at Tioga, near Monticello iand at Springboro, half way between Brookston and Delphi. The decision w*as to erect Springboro bridge but to let the Tioga bridge go until later. The Carroll county commissioners, it seems, would not consent to the making of needed improvements to the Tioga bridge. Considerable indig nation was aroused in White county and also in Carroll, where farmers are much nearer Monticello and go there to trade across the Tioga bridge. The White county council then had a meeting and declared that they would not appropriate money for the Springboro bridge unless the Tioga bridge was repaired at the same time. Another meeting of the commissioners of the two counties is set for today and it is expected the bridge question will be settled amicably.
