Another source of contention has been the necessity for and the number | of bridges that should be constructed over Putah Creek. which is the dividing line between the two counties. After wrang- ling for a long time, the two boards got together about two months ago and signed an agreement to comstruct two bridges, one this year and the other in 191, the expense to be borne equally by the two counties. The agreement was duly drawn and signed by the Yolo board and forwarded to Solano County for the | signatures of that board. After waiting nearly two months, the Yolo Supervisors officially requested the Solano Supervisors to_take some action. Now comes the news that the District Attorney of Solano County holds that the | agreement is not valid. The whole pro- ceeding indicates that the Solano Super- visors are trying to find a pretext for re- pudiating the agreement. The bri are an urgent necessity and the Yolo board will at ence take steps to construet | one of them at the expense of this county | unless the Solano County authorities take action soon, indicating an intention to rom'ply with the terms of the agreement. r Yolo County people have taken no part in the agitation of the proposition to annex a part of Solano Counl) to Yolo, but the dilatory action of the Solano Su- rarvlsors has aroused a strong sentiment favor of annexation as the only hope g the bridges. to reports of Her report | her State | sul e to tuc ln the Union. |
