Z Mr.. WELSH said that he represented
] county deeply interested in the uninter
! rupted navigation of the Ohio river. b
/ was willing that the river should
J bridged, provided the spans were made
: sufficient width so as not to unnecessaril
i damage its navigation. This bill will sci
! tie the question of width for the bridge
/ hereafter built; and this House shou
j weigh well its action on this question. n
believed that spans of 400 feet or mol
( could be made in safety. He had no dout
but that it would be tor the interest OF raj
roads If the trade of the Ohio river w;
broken down. He would vote for $50 fee
not because he favored that width, but bt
cause he regarded it less damaging tina
800 feet.
