Families ill the area n o w have to walk across the L & N Railroad bridge, or cross the river by boat. In the dry sum-mer months, cars can ford at a point about a half-mile from the town and"near Trolley Inn.

How much-money-it will take j for the bridge project is a mat- , j ter of conjecture. It will de-

pend on the type of bridge. A l one-lane. used, steel structure \vould probably cost between
