Supervisor Blake. chairman committee
on roads and bridges, submitted the fol,
lowing report;
Mr. Chairman, DC Your committee on
roads and bridges would respectfully re-
port that they have examined the matter
of the petitions of the commissioners of
highways of the towns of Dimmick and La
Sale presented before them, and recon-
mend the following:
In the case of the petition of the commits
sioners of the town of Dimmick, they com
bine three bridges The cost of neither
one of said bridges would entitle them to
an appropriation under the law, and your
committee are of the opinion that it would
be establishing a dangerous precedent to
allow the same, as it would open the door
for petitions from every town in the coun-
U, and we would recommend that the
same be not allowed, the work on the same
being done in the year 1882.
And in the matter of the petition of the
commissioners of tie town of La Sale, we
believe the same to lie a matter entirely
discretionary with the board, it not coming
under the present law and your committee
would ask to be relieved from any further
consideration of the same.
