The cost Of the bridge would BE- oom-
paratively small considering the great id.

isy Of this place will, - necessary con-
sequence, enhanos ths prosperity 81 the
whole country. While the City Of Keo-
kuk should use oil proper and Legitimate
means in her power in facilitatisg the trade
Of her business community, il 10, never
theless, fact too veil known, that the
city. under her present embarrassed cir.
cumstsnces, Is. not able to carry out the
propossd bridge building, withost sub
stautial aid from other sources. Oar cit
isens. and especially or business men,
must contribute . considerable part BY
voluntary subscriptions; and We suggsst
that counitsees be appointed from our
business mes, Who viii faithfully asd 90.
ergetically push the work forward. Aud,
- this proposed bridge j. Of immense
value 10 the county Of Lee, local prejudi.
CPS should not prevent her from appropsi-
ating about SIS. 600 fol-, this purpose.
Your committee would further recon-
mend 40 appropriation Of 10000 from
this city to make up the required amount
The Citizens OF Clark county, No, are
largely interested in the construction 81
this bridge. - ihis uaskst Offers them N
advantage Of 20 per cent. over any other
vithia' their reach; and your committee
are of the opinion that the proposed road
from the bridge to the intersection Of the
ST. Francisville road, vssld be built BY
them. without any aid from the city, ADD
perhaps subscriptions towards building
the bridge might al.o be Obtained
