THE BRIDGE QUESTION.
Mr.. Kimball from the committee on
Roads submitted the following report:
| ExTRACT.-As the result of cur exam
nation, we find that the navigation will be
subjected to some inconvenience and de-
lay i'll passing through the draws OF the
bridges; but not of that character and i'm
portance which would induce your COM
mittee to refuse the grant asked for in the
bill. There is, however, another point in
the case, which has been pressed upon
our notice, and received careful consider
alton it is, that the construction of the
bridges may be injurious 10 the land own-
ers upon the borders of the lake, 10y obs
structng the free passage of the water to
the outlet. Your committee do not find
this objection to be so well sustained ~
to demand a denial Of the privilege 10
bridge the Lake. 1t is, however. Of :ufi-
clent Importance 10 require careful guards
in the bill. We have therefore pr, Pose
amendments for that purpose, as well as
to secure the public interests; and when
so amended. We recommend the passf &c &c
the bill. All which is respectfully suLmit-
ted to your Committee.
