To y a0hom al may Concern:
We, the undersigned, have this day made 4
careful and close examination of the toll bridge
that spans the great Arkansas river at the
west end OF Douglas Avenue in the city OF
wichita, aud found two small braces slightly
decayed in two places, but not enough TO DAM
age SAID bridge but little, and otherwise is in
good condition and not rotten and liable to
fall TO pieces as has been reported by the OPP
posers of the proposition to purchase said
bridge, and we do further believe said bridge
is worth all, and a far greater sum than the
$1,000 OF the bonds of said county.
