To the City Council
I find the timber of the Seventh street bridge
generally good with the exception of the rail-
ing, floor planking, bottom sills, and bottoms
of posts. The street force can take care of the
railing and planking.
| The stills of the east half of the structure are
partly buried in the ground and their surfaces
| decayed for an inch or two in depth wherever
examined. Most Of the Others have begun to
decay at the joints; few should be partly
wholly replaced. The bridge is not in any dan
ger from this cause at present, all these parts
contain great surplus of material.
The trusses which support the floor between
the main trestles the weakest part of the
structure, and ought to be strengthened, which
| can easily be done.
| decayed timbers and in strengthening the
| trusses.
think tho bridge ought to last two or three
years, but it must be carefully inspected twice
