At a meeting of the board of supervisors of Martin Township held at the office of Deputy Clerk Nuffer Thursday a contract was let to P.N. Gilham of Luverne for a steel and cement bridge across the big slough near the Viste Farm. The contract price is $1,250 and the supervisors are to furnish all sand and gravel which will make the net cost of the bridge, if all labor had to be paid in cash, about $1,500. This will be the second substantial bridge in the township and is a very commendable start and points to better roads and bridges in this county.
