Mayor Shaeffer stated he was stopped from talking about this at the last meeting as Councilman Beck wanted to get some figures together before discussing this. Councilman Smith stated in the mean time some planking could be put over it which would help. Councilman Beck objected to spending any money on it as a new one would be build according to Commissioner Saxon and it would be a three way deal, and if caution is used it will not be dangerous. Before I would spend any money on it I would barricade it and let the people go around. We have a good highway to travel on now and it is not necessary to use this bridge. Mayor Shaeffer stated this would be discussed further when the Budget is set up for next year.
