]. C. Person, County Surveyor, pre-
scented to the Board of Supervisors yester-
day the following report, which was
received and placed on file, and the recon-
mendations as to repairs to the bridge at
Folsom adopted;
beg leave to lay before your honorable
Board report showing the progress of the
work under my charge in the county.
On the American River road the work
embraced in the contract with the San
Francisco Bridge Company is completed
consists of 200 lineal feet of new bridges
making three new ones and adding two
spans to one old one on this road north of
the American river.
These bridges have been completed
strictly in accordance with the specifica-
tons, and are strong, substantial structures
] have made estimates of the amount of
lumber used in their construction, and
have correspondent with the Bridge Com
pany in regard to their bill, and herewith
present their demand, corrected to agree
with my measurements. | also present q
communication from them in regard to a
surplus Of timber left on the ground with
out recommendation.
The work of grading, under the contract
y,
progress, and will be completed this week
1t is being thoroughly well done and in
accordance with the specifications.
AT the present time the work of maca-
damiZing that part of the road between the
two last bridges is in progress, eleven car
loads of granite having been received and
delivered on the road The balance of the
granite required is arriving at the rate of
Two carloads per day.
The excavation for the new bridge, for
which Dean & Bohn have the contract, will
be commenced this week.
In regard to the towers of the suspension
bridge at Folsom, an examination of which
was ordered at your last meeting, | find
after thoroughly examining each piece of
timber embraced in them, that they are in
such reasonable state of preservation that
but small amount of work is needed TO
insure their service for several years to
come. ! am of the opinion that with $50
TO eXpend on them this fall can put them
in good repair for one year, and that no
greater sum will be required per year for
the next three years, probably not as
much. They were thoroughly well built
and have a large surplus of strength.
