condition, the Drsgoni1R says:
Wherever possible, the road WILDE thrown

that 5000 will be sufficient to construct the
bridge. This money will be raised by sub
s3ription, AMI the county court will probably
make liberal appropriation to cover what
ever deficiency may exist. a good road
which could be travelled any time during the
