lows:
The committee met on the 9th of July,
1864, and find the bed of the river to be
2lO feet wide near Denson's old ferry, at
which place appears to be the most eligl
BILE place for a bridge The bed of the
river is stone, with coating over Of sand
aud gravel of from three to four feet
deep, requiring butments and at least two
stone piers to make a Substantial bridge;
material near; plenty of timber joins
right up to the river at that point; stone
plenty at distance of | {! miles, steam
saw mil close by, and from the best in
formation we can obtain it will cost at
least $4,000 to complete said bridge
There is also on the north side of the
river about 100 feet, and on the south
side about 200 feet of low ground, which
would require trussel work in order to
have access to the bridge in a high stage
of water, which would add additional
cost, say $1,000, making in all about
$4,000
All Of which is respectfully submitted.
