The County Commissioners have sued the King Bridge Co. and its bondsmen to recover the amount paid that company for the super structure of the Mifllinville bridge. In 1901 the King Bridge o. con tracted with the county for the erection of the iron-work on the bridge, and filed a bond for faith ful performance. As the oritige progressed money was paid them from time to time. When the third spnn was completed the ice flood of 1902 carried the bridge . . ! t it. away. The commissioners paiu me company the balance ot tue con tract price, less tue cost 01 uie un built span. The material was taken out of the river and removed to the factory at Cleveland. The next session of the legisla ture passed a law providing for the erection of bridges over streams more than 800 feet wide where an nleted bridee has been swept away by flood. The state is to erect the bridge, and the county is 10 turn over to the state all the ma terial of the former bridge, and the unexpended balance ot the contract price. In advertising tor dius tue suue announced that the contractor chrii1d liave thp old material. The contract was awarded to the York Bridge Co. The King bridge Co is therefore out of the deal, ex cept that it has the old material and the pay for part ot the oncige wnicu it never delivered. WW. ran he recovered in tue suit remains to be seen.
