On motion report was laid on the

Aid. Dumke of the same Com sub
mitted the following minority report
which was adopted:
The undersigned member of the Com
on bridges after careful examination
of the new bridge has to report to the
honorable Mayor and Board of Alder
men, that there are some parts of the
iron on the center of the turn-table that
have been changed, and not made &C
cording to the plans and specifications,
and in my opinion too light and manu-
featured with less ezpence than the
nlans ard specifications coll for. The
parts which are changed ARE all castings
on the centre pin, and the wrought iron
band on the top of the top casting on
the centre pin. All other parts, in my
opinion, are made according to plans
and specifications. I therefore would
recommend to hold back $500 90 of the
money for which the bridge was con-
tracted, to pay for all repairs which may
arise from the above mentioned changes,
within five years from date, and the re-
naming sum may be paid to the con-
tractor after that time Or that the con-
tractor give bonds for the sum Of $1,000
90 to secure the payment Of the above
mentioned repairs In the above mention
ed time, if he prefers to do so.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
Signed. A. F. DUMKE.
