The special committee to whom was
referred the petition asking an appro-
priation for building bridge across
Black Hawk Greek at the grist mill
near Hudson, submitted their report as
follows:
We are satisfied that bridge ut that
point is very necessary for the accom-
mediation of the public. IL is on an es-
tablished road as much Travelled as any
In the county. In time of high water
the creek is impossible for weeks for
want of substantial bridge, so that
! the travel is entirely cut off, We would
therefore recommend the appropriation
OF the sum of seven hundred dollars for
the erection of said bridge.
