Captain William Johnson, engineer
for Tho committee on county roads and
bridges, reports that Mr., II. u. Davis
contracts for the four bridges on the
Rockwell road he will flush the bridge
ut Duck creek this evening, and viii
move His camp up To Kowlett creek,
about three miles beyond Duck creek.
The Duck creek fridge Ia u liily foot

a thirty foot embankment approach
ON the west bank. The west abutment
Ia upon the high bank, but tho east
abuIment Ia eighteen feet high, being
located ut the waters edge, on tho
east side Of the creek. These ahul.
ments are built OF hewed hurroak,
twelve inohes square, aud well braced
aud securely fastened, resting on
burr,oak mud.sill. The frame on
truss OF the bridge Ia built Of black
Louisiana cypress, while the flooring

Woodlawn mills, near Jefferson.
The rexus aud Pacific railroad,
through Colonel Noble, superintend-
ent, generously offered to charge only
half freight on all lumber consigned

to this fund OF about three hundred
dollars, The bridge on Rowlett creek
ON this same road (Rockwall will
be u sixty-two foot bow.slring span,
with thirty'six foot timber approach,
aud the abutment will be twenty-five
foot high, this being the deepest chan-
mel on the road.
II IL the aim OF the engineer to put
these bridges above the highest over
flow, and to locate the nbutments no ~
to avoid any danger from driftwood,
at the same time to be safe from nnS
dermining or oaving banks. From
the durable character OF the material
used and the substantial manner OF
doing the work, 1t IL thought that
these bridges will last at least twenty
years to the liberality Of
