On motion of Mr.. VanSann, the
ollowing resolution was adopted:
ResotUed, That the petitions of
James. Hearst, ct ais, w B Thayer,
i ais, EG Miller, ct ais, and l. b
Shepard, ct ais, be not granted, for
he reason that the bridge fund is not
efficient at the present time to re-
pair and build necessary d q county
bridges; and for the further reason
hat some townships and road dis
'ricts have built all their small
bridges by private contribution or
local tax, without asking or receiv-
Ing aid from the county, 80 that it.
now seems unjust to compel them to
pay for similar improvements in
other townships or districts, perhaps
better able than they were to build
their own small bridges. ...1i
