NELSON WANTS A BRIDGE

            Nelson, Jan. 20 – Armed with a petition signed by three thousand citizens of Nelson and the district which will be directly affected by the building of a bridge at Nelson, J.J. Malone, John Toye, Albert Bunker and R.W. Hinton left this morning to press the claims of the city as the location for the proposed bridge over the Kootenay river before the government at Victoria.  They will take with them the resolution passed at the mass meeting on Wednesday.

            Mayor Annable will represent the city, J.A. Irving, the Conservative association, A.S. Horswill the board of trade, and W.B. Farris the Liberal association when the petition is presented to the government.
