This county contends that the expenses should be paid proportion to the taxable value of the two counties, putting a little more than half the expense on this county.

Wabaun see claims that on account of an allege agreement with Wamego before the bridge was taken over by the county, that Wabaunsee should only pay seventeen fifty-thirds. The bridge was built forty years ago and Wamego township voted $38,000 township bonds and Wabaunsee township across the river 000. Toll was charged for many years and then the bridge was taken over by the two counties The matter of the division of expenses has been checked up to the attorney general and may be settled by the courts. As extensive repairs will soon have to be made or a new bridge built, the question involves several thousands of dollars and the divi sion of future expenses. Probate Judge.
