PORT EIIRON. BAY CITY AND LANSING
STATE ROAD.

The commissioners on this road, in pur-
suance to published notice, are now eugag
ed in contracting Cor the building of its en-.
tire length. Having let the work from Port
Huron to our east county line, they were at
our village on Monday. and contracted for
its completion through our county. The
jobs we're let as follows;
Commencing at the line between this
and Bay county, on section ~, and running
to the TIttabawassa river, on section 81, a
distance of four miles and two hundred
and eighteen rods, to Wm. Thorlby for
$4,000. Across section 20 and q, to
Charles Cronkwrieht, at sl00 per mile
The remaining distance. being IL miles
was let to Mr.. Patrick. of Flint, at s26i
per mile.
The Bridge across the Chippewa river
was let to Mr.. John Larkin, at 5000.
On Tuesday the Commissioner procee.
ded to St Louis, having, We believe, deal,
fairly with those who had competed for the
jobs, and contracting for the work at reas
enable terms. The problem is now solved
We are to have good road from st. Loui:
to our village, and from here to Bay City
The total amount expended by these con
tracts in our county, is about SIS, S,5SS.-POri
Huron Press.
