Ell DORADO AND SACRAMENTO BRIDGE.-
Yesterday petition, signed by the principal
taxpayers Of Folsom and vicinity, was pre-
scented to the Board OF Supervisors of this
county, asking tlas they assist in the pur-
chase of the w;re suspension bridge at Nor
mon Island. The Board Of Supervisors of
Ell Dorado county have expressed a willing
ness to pay oBe-h&lf Of the purchase price.
TIE bridge Is owned by widow lady, Y
years of are snd il offered for 81 600. 1t is
estimated by competent judges to be worth
So. 500. M. Christy in the Board repre-
scented the petitioners, and asked the Board
to communicate with the Supervisors of El
Dorado county. with a view to its purchase.
He held that this to Sacramento county was
an important matter. This bridge, of all
l. L,
The divide between the North and South
Forks Of the American river is well wooded,
contains large population, and their COM
munication with this county necessarily CON-
pels them to use this bridge. The toll has
been q serious drawback, and has been the
cause of the wood in that section not seeking
the Sacramento msrket, and has driven
large trade TO Auburn, in Placer county. The
bridge is in good condition, and twice the
amount asked from Sacra nento county would
be realized annually from the trade Of that sec
ton if the bridge was free one. Mr.. Christy
further urged that, as matter of treating all
alike, the people of that section, his constitu-
en.s, had q right to demand its purchase
On the Cosumnes river, in the southern por-
ton of the county, no less than six bridges
have been bought. at cost of m any thou
sands of dollars. Some of them at the time
OF purchase were in o tumble down condition,
and their value to the taxpayers of this
county was not equal to that of the bridge
in question. The motion was lost. The
matter will be brought to the front again to-
day, when. perhaps, there will be full Board
present. IF ar. Christy's views are correct,
this ia matter OF considerable Importance.
and should receive a careful consideration at
the hands Of the BoArd.
