We, the unuersi gned, Supervisors of
the Town Of Sullivan, OF said county,
would respectfully represent that we
are forced to expend, on an average,
the SUM of four hundred dollars annu-

bridges across Bark River, Duck Greek

bridges have to be built across mill
ponds on said river, one Of which ex-
ceeds 500 feet. including grade; the
other about $50 feet, including grade
The whole number of bridges is seven
teen. AS We have never up to date
received, but always paid our just pro-
portion of taxes to other towns for the
same purposes, and as We are obliged
to build two new bridges the coming
year at an expense Of about 81, 200,
We therefore respectfully ask of this
Honorable Board an appropriation Of
FIVE hundred dollars.
