| iron bridges for the passage OF teams, with
| separate attachments for persons on foot,

| struct the same The topography OF oul
! VILLAGE concentrates travel to and from the
northeastern portion OF our city, beng
| the business portion, to the southwestern
| the future manufacturing portion OF oui
city. at the points before mentioned
hence their importance Tor all iutut
time. Having realized the Importance
Of these avenues Of traffic the people o
River Falls. who at great expense have
already constructed and MAINTAIN goOC
substantial iron bridges, can reasonably
demand the construction OF equally a.
good bridges by the Company that ha
created the necessity for their construc
ton.
kes0Iced That the amendment Of thi
